Patterned hair loss is a common cause of hair loss in males as well as females. It usually starts at a young age and progresses with age. Family history may be contributory along with the influence of androgens in the body hence, called Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA).

It can cause psychological stress in some patients. Management of AGA needs a holistic approach; it should not be only seen as a cosmetic concern but a disease process having various pathogenic pathways.

Treatment options are broadly classified into- Surgical and medical, each having its definite role in the management. Hair transplant in properly selected patients can give natural looking hair on the bald areas of the scalp with long term results. This goes a long way in restoring patients confidence, decreasing the psychological stress associated with early balding and overall improvement in quality-of-life. Hair transplant is an intricate blend of fine surgical technique and artistic approach. There have been advancements and refinements in the technique of hair transplant over the past decade, thereby making the surgery more safe, better regrowth of implanted hairs and enhancing the aesthetic outcome.

We at Department of Dermatology, KEM Hospital, Pune offer a ray of hope to patients suffering from baldness in the form of hair transplant surgery combined with comprehensive medical and other surgical modalities like autologous PRP, micro-needling, Mesotherapy, etc. We have developed a structured and meticulous treatment programme customised to individual patient needs.

Hair transplant is done by FUE (follicular unit extraction) method. There is a pre-procedure examination and counselling of the patient, relevant investigations are done and after medical fitness the patient is taken for hair transplant.

Hair transplant is done under local anaesthesia with the patient being fully conscious and comfortable during the procedure. He/she can interact with the operating team and can also enjoy melodious music during the procedure. Patients will have small breaks in between for a light meal, fruit juice, etc.
