A permanent solution for hairfall and baldnessu00a0-- hair transplantation is an outpatient procedure done under local anesthesia and does not require hospital stay. Cosmetic surgeon Dr Anand Joshi of Genesis Cosmetic Clinic and Hair Transplant Centre explains:

It has been proved that male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia is hereditary and directly related to genetic factors, especially the male hormoneu00a0-- testosterone, which causes reduced growth and thinning of hair. A strip of hair is harvested from the back of the head from the 'horseshoe' shaped area.

Scientists have found that hair from the horseshoe area when transplanted into areas of thinning or bald areas can continue to survive and grow permanently.

From this strip, micro and minigrafts are cut using magnification, then implanted in the bald area. This forms the basis of hair transplantation.

The transplanted hair starts growing in about 12-16 weeks after surgery and is permanent. The procedure can be repeated after six months to achieve more density in the bald area. FUE-New Stich Less Hair Transplant technique also available.
