Is hair transplant a permanent solution?

Yes. Follicles transplanted from the donor area at the back of the scalp are genetically resistant to DHT, the hormone responsible for androgenetic hair loss. These follicles continue to grow permanently in their new location. The transplanted hair can be cut, coloured, and treated like natural hair. However, existing non-transplanted hair may continue to thin over time, which is why realistic planning of hairline position matters.

How many grafts will I need?

The number of grafts required depends on the area of hair loss and the desired density. A frontal hairline restoration typically requires 1,500 to 2,500 grafts. A full crown restoration may require 2,000 to 3,500 grafts. Dr. Bharathi assesses donor density and recipient area at consultation and provides a specific graft estimate before any procedure is planned.

When will I see results from a hair transplant?

Transplanted hair sheds in the first two to four weeks after surgery. This is normal and expected. New growth begins at three to four months. Significant visible density improvement is typically seen at six to eight months. Final results are visible at twelve to eighteen months after the procedure.

Is hair transplant painful?

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so the surgery itself is not painful. The administration of local anaesthesia involves initial needle pricks to the scalp, which are the most uncomfortable part of the experience. After anaesthesia takes effect, patients typically feel pressure and movement but not pain. Post-operative discomfort is mild and managed with standard pain relief for two to three days.

Can women have hair transplants?

Yes. Female hair loss is most commonly diffuse thinning rather than the receding hairline pattern seen in men. Women who are candidates for hair transplant typically have stable donor areas with sufficient density and specific zones of thinning. Women with diffuse loss across the entire scalp are generally not candidates because the donor area may also be affected. Dr. Bharathi assesses female pattern hair loss at consultation and advises on whether transplant or non-surgical treatment (GFC or PRP) is more appropriate.

Can I combine hair transplant with GFC or PRP?

Yes. GFC or PRP is used alongside hair transplant to improve graft survival, reduce post-operative shedding, and accelerate the establishment of transplanted follicles. Dr. Bharathi advises on the optimal combination and timing as part of your overall hair restoration plan.

How much does a hair transplant cost in Chennai at Aesthetic Studio?

Cost is calculated per graft and depends on the number of grafts required, which is determined at consultation after assessment of your donor density and the area of hair loss. A detailed cost estimate is provided at consultation. There are no hidden fees. The cost per graft and the estimated total are stated in writing before you agree to proceed.

Hair Transplant in Chennai (FUE)

Hair transplant at Aesthetic Studio, Chennai, uses Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) to permanently restore hair in areas of loss. Individual follicles are extracted from the donor area, typically the back of the scalp, and transplanted to thinning or bald areas. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. Results are permanent as transplanted follicles are resistant to DHT, the hormone responsible for androgenetic hair loss.

What Is a Hair Transplant in Chennai?

Once transplanted, these follicles continue to grow naturally, offering a permanent and natural-looking solution for hair loss.

What Natural Results Actually Means in Hair Transplant

Natural results in hair transplant are almost entirely determined by hairline design. A hairline that is too straight, too low, or too dense looks immediately operated on. Transplanted hair that all grows in the same direction looks artificial.

At Aesthetic Studio, hairline design is planned by Dr. Bharathi before surgery. The hairline is mapped to be appropriate for your age, face shape, and the long-term progression of your hair loss. Grafts are placed at the correct angle and direction to replicate natural hair growth patterns. The goal is a result that looks like hair you grew, not hair that was placed there.

Why Patients Choose Aesthetic Studio

Hair transplant results are almost entirely determined by decisions made before the surgery starts: how many grafts, where they are placed, what angle, and what density. At Aesthetic Studio, Dr. Bharathi designs the hairline before surgery. She plans the distribution to account for the likely progression of hair loss over the next ten to fifteen years, not just what the scalp looks like today. A hairline drawn for a 30-year-old that will look wrong at 45 is not a good result. The planning conversation at consultation is where this is worked out.
