Hair Transplant at Skinaite Clinic: Your Hair, Your Confidence, Your Choice
Introduction
At Skinaite Clinic, we understand how much your hair means to you. Hair is more than just appearance – it reflects your identity, culture, and self-worth. For many men, hair represents youth, energy, and confidence. Often, we overlook the importance of hair until we begin to notice it thinning, receding, or falling out in patches.
Hair loss might not pose a health risk, but it can deeply affect emotional health and self-perception, influencing social and professional interactions. Whether you want to boost your career, improve personal relationships, or simply feel like yourself again, a hair transplant at Skinaite Clinic could be the answer you’ve been looking for.
What is a Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant is a medical process in which healthy hair roots are taken from a dense growth area—commonly the sides or back of the scalp—and implanted into regions with thinning or no hair. This helps promote natural regrowth and creates a more complete, realistic appearance.
At Skinaite Clinic, our expert dermatologists and plastic surgeons specialize in hair restoration procedures designed to provide long-lasting, permanent results. Hair transplants are especially effective for male pattern baldness, female thinning hair, or hair loss due to injury or surgery.
Types of Hair Transplant Techniques
We offer two main surgical techniques for hair transplantation:
1. Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
Also known as Follicular Unit Strip Surgery (FUSS), this technique includes:
The procedure involves extracting a thin strip of scalp tissue containing healthy follicles, typically from the rear portion of the head.
Dividing the strip into tiny grafts under a microscope. Each hair graft holds 1 to 4 individual follicles.
Implanting these grafts into the thinning or bald areas.
The donor area is stitched up, leaving a subtle linear scar typically hidden by longer hair.
2. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
This modern technique involves:
Hair follicles are extracted one by one using a micro-punch tool, then implanted into tiny incisions in the target area.
This minimally invasive method does not require stitches and leaves only small dot-like scars, which are barely noticeable.
How Does a Hair Transplant Work? A Step-by-Step Explanation by Skinaite Clinic
This surgical procedure transfers hair from a donor area to balding zones to restore a fuller hair appearance. The primary aim is to stimulate natural hair growth in bald or thinning patches—commonly caused by male pattern baldness, injury, or scarring.
At Skinaite Clinic, we explain the hair transplant procedure in two main phases:
1. Harvesting: Collecting Healthy Hair Follicles
Harvesting refers to the extraction of healthy and permanent hair follicles from a donor site, which is usually the back or sides of the head where hair is resistant to balding due to its genetic makeup (DHT-resistant).
There are two widely practiced harvesting techniques:
A. Follicular Unit Strip Surgery (FUT or FUSS)
A surgeon carefully removes a thin strip of scalp from the lower back of the head.
This strip contains natural groups of hair follicles, called follicular units.
The site where the strip is taken is closed using stitches or staples, leaving behind a fine linear scar.
The strip is then divided under a microscope into grafts containing 1 to 4 hairs.
FUT is usually faster for harvesting a large number of grafts and tends to be more cost-effective.
B. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
Follicles are extracted individually from the donor site, each containing a few hairs.
A specialized tool known as a micro punch, measuring around 0.7 to 1 mm in diameter, is used for this extraction.
This technique leaves no linear scars, only tiny dot-like marks that fade over time, eliminating the need for stitches.
2. Preparation of Hair Grafts: Keeping Follicles Healthy and Ready
After harvesting, whether through FUT or FUE, the hair follicles are prepared carefully for transplantation:
Extracted grafts are immersed in a chilled, nutrient-rich solution, such as saline or platelet-rich plasma, to keep them viable and healthy.
Each graft is meticulously examined under a microscope to ensure the follicles remain intact and are likely to survive.
The follicles are categorized based on the number of hairs they contain—single-hair grafts are ideal for crafting natural-looking hairlines, while grafts with 2 to 4 hairs are better suited for increasing density over larger scalp areas.

Preparing the grafts properly is crucial for ensuring their survival and successful regrowth.
3. Implantation: Placing the Grafts into the Recipient Site
Once healthy grafts are ready, they are implanted into the balding or thinning regions. Here is how the implantation process takes place at Skinaite Clinic:
Local anesthesia is applied to numb the area before implantation begins.
Using a microscopic blade or needle, precise tiny incisions or slits are created in the scalp where the hair grafts will be positioned.
Grafts are placed at specific angles and directions to mimic natural hair growth, producing realistic results.
Each follicular unit is then carefully placed into the incisions one at a time, using fine forceps or an implanter pen—such as the Choi pen employed in Direct Hair Implantation (DHI).
The total number of grafts implanted depends on the extent of hair loss and the amount of donor hair available.
This implantation step is highly specialized and demands exceptional skill and artistry to create a natural hairline and consistent density that blends seamlessly with existing hair.
Preparing the grafts properly is crucial for ensuring their survival and successful regrowth.
Recovery and Results
Following your hair transplant at Skinaite Clinic:
Depending on the method used, the treated scalp area may be bandaged or left uncovered.
Mild inflammation, slight redness, and scabs are common and typically resolve within a week to 10 days.
Shedding of the transplanted hair within 2-3 weeks, known as “shock loss,” is a normal part of the process.
New hair usually begins to appear within 3 to 4 months, with visible improvement seen by 6 months.
Final results are typically achieved in 12 to 18 months, with long-lasting effects since the transplanted hair resists thinning.
Benefits of Hair Transplantation at Skinaite Clinic
Permanent Natural Hair Growth
Your own hair follicles are relocated to thinning areas, ensuring that hair grows naturally and permanently.
Boosts Confidence and Self-Esteem
A restored hairline can improve appearance and significantly boost confidence in personal and work settings.
Natural-Looking Results
We carefully recreate natural hairlines and hair density patterns, making the transplant undetectable.
Low Maintenance
Once established, transplanted hair behaves like natural hair and doesn’t need special maintenance. You can style and maintain it like your natural hair.
Cost-Effective
Though initially costly, a hair transplant is a one-time solution compared to continuous expenses on alternative treatments.
Minimally Invasive, Less Painful (Especially with FUE)
FUE avoids large incisions and stitches, reducing discomfort and speeding healing.
Faster Recovery
The small puncture wounds heal rapidly, allowing patients to resume daily routines within a few days.
Minimal Scarring
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) results in minimal, barely visible scarring, unlike the linear scar from FUT.
Risks and Side Effects of Hair Transplantation
Though generally safe, hair transplantation may involve some temporary risks such as:
Allergic reaction to anesthesia
Bleeding or infection
Graft failure or poor growth
Scalp numbness or tightness
Itching, scabbing, or swelling
Visible scars (mainly with FUT)
At Skinaite Clinic, our experienced team minimizes risks and closely monitors your recovery.
What Happens After a Hair Transplant? Full Recovery Guide by Skinaite Clinic
Hair transplants have the potential to significantly improve the lives of people facing hair thinning, offering a boost in self-confidence and self-image. While the end results are often remarkable, it’s important to know what to expect throughout the recovery journey—from the very first days to several months after the surgery.
🕒 1. Recovery (Initial Few Days)
Immediately following the surgery, your scalp will be covered with protective bandages to safeguard the transplanted grafts.
You might experience mild pain, a feeling of tightness, or some swelling in the scalp area, especially near the forehead.
We recommend resting for 2 to 3 days, avoiding any strenuous physical activity to minimize swelling and reduce pressure on your scalp.
Follow-up visits are scheduled shortly after surgery to remove bandages and check the grafts.
💊 2. Medications
Antibiotics may be prescribed to avoid post-surgical infections.
Pain medications and anti-inflammatories are provided to manage discomfort and swelling.
In certain cases, a mild steroid medication might be given to manage or prevent post-surgical swelling.
💼 3. Returning to Work (Day 4–5)
Most patients feel well enough to return to work and perform light activities within 4 to 5 days after the procedure.
You may still notice some scabs or redness where the transplant was done; however, these usually diminish and disappear in the following days.
🧼 4. Hair Shedding Phase (Weeks 2–4)
Around the second or third week after surgery, the transplanted hair typically begins to shed. This shedding phase is a typical part of the hair regrowth cycle and should not raise alarm.
This phase, often called “shock loss,” is temporary and does not indicate failure of the grafts.
Hair follicles stay embedded in the scalp and will start producing new strands in time.
🌱 5. New Hair Growth (Months 3–4)
New hair growth generally starts becoming noticeable around 3 to 4 months post-transplant.
At first, these new hairs are usually thin and soft but gradually become thicker and fuller with time.
📈 6. Significant Results (Months 6–9)
Between the 6th and 9th months, about 60 to 70% of the final hair growth will be visible.
You will notice denser hair, a more natural-looking hairline, and an overall enhancement in appearance.
This is often the time when many patients begin receiving compliments on their new look.
✅ 7. Final Results (12–18 Months)
The full, final results of your hair transplant usually appear between 12 to 18 months after surgery.
Your hair will look completely grown-in, natural, and blend seamlessly with the surrounding hair on your scalp.
These results are durable and long-lasting, assuming that the underlying cause of hair loss remains stable.

FAQ’s
From the patient’s perspective, a hair transplant is a straightforward and mostly painless procedure. The procedure is done under local anesthesia, ensuring the patient remains comfortable. However, it is a highly skilled surgical technique that demands an experienced surgeon to achieve natural and successful outcomes.
Absolutely. Today’s advanced hair transplant methods, such as FUE and FUT, are specifically designed to replicate natural hair growth patterns. When carried out by a qualified surgeon, the transplanted hairline and overall hair density appear natural and blend seamlessly with your existing hair.
The results of a hair transplant are generally long-lasting. The transplanted follicles continue producing hair throughout a person’s life. However, it is important to understand that the native, non-transplanted hair may continue to thin or fall with age, so ongoing follow-up or maintenance treatments might sometimes be necessary.
The cost of 3,000 grafts varies based on the clinic, surgeon’s skills, geographic location, and method used. It generally ranges between ₹60,000 and ₹1,50,000. For an exact quote, Skinaite Clinic offers personalized consultations.
Thanks to local anesthesia, the surgery is typically pain-free. Some tightness or soreness might be felt afterward, but medications can ease these symptoms.
Hair transplant success rates are high, often reaching 90–95%. The outcome depends on various factors such as the surgeon’s skill, the method used, post-operative care, and the patient’s overall health and hair condition.
Transplanted hair is typically permanent and can last a lifetime. Since the grafts come from areas that are resistant to balding, they maintain their natural growth cycle. Following proper scalp care and maintenance is key to preserving your hair transplant results long term.
