Question 1

What is Hair Transplantation or Hair Restoration?

Accepted Answer

Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that moves hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) to areas of thinning or baldness. At Dheeran Clinic, Dr. Vivin Prasadh performs FUE and Direct Hair Transplant (DHT). Transplanted follicles from the donor area are generally resistant to pattern hair loss, and the procedure is planned to look natural over the long term.

Question 2

Which hair transplant technique is right for me?

Accepted Answer

The right technique depends on your hair loss pattern, donor area density and goals. Dr. Vivin Prasadh performs FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and Direct Hair Transplant (DHT), and recommends the approach that suits you after examining your scalp at consultation.

Question 3

What is the hair transplant recovery time?

Accepted Answer

Most patients can return to light work within 2–3 days. The transplanted hair sheds around weeks 2–4 (this is normal). New growth begins at 3–4 months, significant results are visible by 6–8 months, and full results are achieved at 12–14 months post-procedure.

Question 4

Is hair transplant safe?

Accepted Answer

Hair transplant is a minimally invasive procedure with a good safety record when performed by a qualified surgeon. At Dheeran Clinic, every procedure is performed by Dr. Vivin Prasadh in a sterile operating theatre, with pre-procedure blood tests and safety protocols for every patient.

Question 5

Is the transplant painful?

Accepted Answer

The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so the treated area is numbed before work begins. You may feel mild pressure during the procedure. Mild soreness or tightness for 2–3 days afterwards is common and is managed with medicines prescribed by the doctor.

Question 6

What are the pre and post-transplant instructions?

Accepted Answer

Pre-procedure: avoid alcohol for 1 week, stop blood thinners if prescribed, wash hair on the day of surgery, eat a light meal. Post-procedure: gentle washing after 48 hours, avoid direct sun for 2 weeks, no gym/strenuous exercise for 2 weeks, follow prescribed medication. Dr. Vivin provides complete personalised instructions during your consultation.

Question 7

What is DHT (Direct Hair Transplant)?

Accepted Answer

DHT (Direct Hair Transplant) is a variation of FUE where extracted follicles are implanted directly into the recipient area, reducing the time grafts spend outside the body. Note: DHT here refers to the technique, not dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone that causes pattern hair loss.

Question 8

What results can I expect from a hair transplant?

Accepted Answer

Results depend on your donor area, hair type and how far your hair loss has progressed. Transplanted hair usually sheds in the first few weeks, which is normal. New growth begins around 3–4 months, and full results take 12–14 months. Dr. Vivin explains what is realistic for you at consultation.

Question 9

Is hair transplant possible for women?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Female hair transplant is a specialised procedure at Dheeran Clinic. Women experience hair loss differently from men — often diffuse thinning rather than a receding hairline. Dr. Vivin Prasadh uses tailored techniques specifically for female hair loss patterns to restore natural density.

Question 10

Can hair transplant be done at a young age?

Accepted Answer

Generally, we recommend waiting until age 25–28 when hair loss has stabilised. Operating too early risks the natural hair continuing to fall after the transplant. Dr. Vivin Prasadh conducts a thorough assessment and may recommend medical management first for younger patients.

Question 11

Is hair transplant possible without shaving the head?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Unshaven FUE is available for patients who prefer privacy. The donor area is trimmed in small patches that are hidden under existing hair. It suits working professionals and women, but takes longer and depends on the number of grafts needed. Dr. Vivin will tell you if it suits you at consultation.

Question 12

How does Dheeran Clinic deal with Advanced Grades of Baldness (Grade 6/7)?

Accepted Answer

Grade 6 and 7 baldness usually needs a large number of grafts and careful donor planning. Dr. Vivin Prasadh plans the hairline and graft distribution based on your available donor hair and possible future hair loss. Where scalp donor hair is limited, body hair (BHT) may be considered.

Question 13

How much does hair transplant cost in Coimbatore?

Accepted Answer

The cost depends on the number of grafts required, which differs for each patient. After examining your scalp at consultation, Dr. Vivin assesses your hair loss grade and you receive a personalised quote with the full cost explained before you decide.

Question 14

What is GFC Treatment and who is it for?

Accepted Answer

GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) is a non-surgical treatment that uses growth factors from your own blood to support hair follicles. It may be advised for early-stage hair loss, hair thinning, or as maintenance after a transplant. The number of sessions is planned by the doctor based on your condition, and response varies from person to person.
