Ask UsIt is advanced male pattern baldness where most of the front, top and crown have lost hair, usually Norwood grade V to VII. Only the back and sides still have strong hair.
Yes, in most cases. Hair from the back and sides resists the hormone (DHT) that causes baldness, so it keeps growing after it is moved. The aim is a natural hairline and good coverage, planned around how much donor hair you have.
Large bald areas often need two sessions, usually about 8 to 12 months apart, to build density.
If scalp donor hair is limited, beard or body hair can sometimes be added to improve coverage. Dr. Ashutosh Shah assesses your donor areas at consultation.
It is done under local anaesthesia and usually takes about 4 to 8 hours, depending on the number of grafts.
The hairline is designed to suit your age and face, and grafts are placed at natural angles. Final density depends on scalp laxity, donor hair density, and hair thickness and curl.
Often yes. Transplanted hair is permanent, but native hair in untreated areas can keep thinning. Medicines such as minoxidil or finasteride, or low-level laser therapy, help protect it.
