Hair loss can be a frustrating and confidence-shattering experience. Hair loss is not a bigger problem as long as the scalp replaces it with new hair strands. But as soon as a bald patch forms or the hairline recede it creates a psychological impact on a person’s life. 

So, are you looking for an average cost of Hair Transplant in India for your natural-looking hairline? So read out this blog so you don’t end up being a victim of inferior quality low-cost hair transplant or an unnecessary highly paid hair transplant 

Introduction: 

Hair transplants are a popular and effective way to restore hair loss. They involve taking healthy hair follicles from one area of the scalp and transplanting them to the areas of hair loss. The cost of a hair transplant in India ranges from 20 Rs. to 200 Rs. per graft depending on various important factors that affect the overall result of a hair transplant. Here are those 6 important factors that affects cost of hair transplant in India and one should look at while searching for the right air transplant center 

1.  Affiliation and experience of hair transplant surgeon

This is the most important point if you’re looking for a hair transplant center. As in India, only Dermatologists and Plastic surgeons are legally bound to perform hair transplant surgery. Because they have a piece of perfect knowledge about every step of surgery and they can also manage the side-effects if it happens during this.

There are many clinics in India where technicians only perform the surgery and there is no involvement of a Doctor during the treatment.

Only experienced surgeons can know about an angle of a slit, the angle of the hair follicle during extraction, transection rate of grafts, the temporal angle, different types of hairlines, and donor area management. They can also manage side effects and complications during surgery. While technicians do not have much scientific knowledge about hair follicles, and also are not able to manage the side effects or complications.

If a hair transplant surgeon is very well experienced, then definitely the cost of hair transplant clinic will be more as compared to other sub standard hair transplant centers. 

Our Dr. Krishna Bhalala has completed his MD in Dermatology from Mumbai and has kin interest in field of Hair Transplant. He got his fellowship in Hair Transplant from Turkiye. He regularly attend national and international conferences to update his knowledge and that helps his patients to get best hair transplant results in Gujarat

2. Numbers of grafts 

The number of grafts you might need is one of the major determinants that influence the cost of hair transplant in India. Consult your hair surgeon to decide how many grafts will be required. The table below tells the approximate number of grafts an individual might need based on the Norwood Scale.

 3. Operation Room Setup

Hair transplant surgery should be performed in a proper operation theater. Ideal operation theater is occupied with all necessary instruments like multipara heart rate machine, proper OT Lights with good illumination, and proper fumigation, the chance of side-effects or complications after hair transplants will be reduced.

Such a thing is not maintained at low-cost hair transplant centers or inexperienced Hair Transplant centers.

4. High Quality Instruments 

Doctors should have good magnification loupe, so they can easily see hair follicles during extraction and also during implantation. In our clinic, we have 3.5 X magnification loupes. 

Slits at the recipient site can be made with normal stainless steel blades and Turkish or sapphire blades. In our clinic, we prefer a sapphire blade, as healing is much faster and there is less bleeding during the surgery.

Good-quality punches are required to extract grafts properly from the donor area. At our clinic, we use single-use Turkish and German punches for graft extraction, so there is less scarring and good healing in the donor area.

5. Technical team of doctor

A Hair Transplant is a very lengthy procedure, so normally surgeons will require at least 2 to 5 people as assistants during a treatment. The technician should be very well experienced in the field of Hair Transplant to handle the grafts and implant them with proper care. At our center, we have 3 technicians who have been performing Hair Transplants for the last 7 years. 

6. Technique of Hair Transplant

Multiple techniques of Hair Transplant are available in the Indian market like Basic FUE Hair Transplant, Sapphire, FUE, Bio FUE, FUT, and a combination of FUE+FUT. The cost of hair transplant for different types of techniques is different. So always try to compare the same technique in different clinics, then only will you be able to get a good idea about the cost of a hair transplant.

Apart from these important points, you can also check out patient results images, Google reviews, and Testimonial videos on their YouTube or Instagram channel. 

Ultimately, I would see hair transplants as a combination of science and art. So always try to consider scientific points for your hair transplant results. 

So invest in a good quality hair transplant result. Because it can make you all also it can break you.

Thank you.

Stay healthy.
