The Science Behind Hair Transplants: How It Really Works

I’m Dr. Mayank Singh, lead surgeon at Crown Hair Transplant Experts Clinic in Delhi. With years of experience and a deep understanding of hair restoration, I’ve helped hundreds of clients regain their confidence through modern and minimally invasive procedures.

 

In this blog, I’ll explain how hair transplants actually work, and how we deliver some of the best results right here at our clinic.

A hair transplant is a surgical technique that moves hair follicles from one part of the body (called the donor area, usually the back or sides of the scalp) to bald or thinning areas (called the recipient area). It’s a long-term solution for conditions like male pattern baldness, female hair thinning, and even beard or eyebrow restoration.

The Two Main Techniques: FUE and FUT

At Crown Hair Transplant Experts Clinic, we use the latest and most advanced techniques to ensure safe and natural-looking results. The two primary methods we use are:

1. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)

This is a minimally invasive technique where individual hair follicles are extracted one by one using a micro punch tool. These follicles are then implanted into the bald area.

Why patients love FUE:

  • No visible scarring

  • Faster recovery

  • Ideal for short hairstyles

  • Precise and natural-looking results

2. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)

Also known as the strip method, this involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area, from which follicular units are extracted and implanted.

Benefits of FUT:

  • Higher graft yield

  • Better for large areas of baldness

  • Often more economical

At our clinic, the choice between FUE and FUT is based on your hair type, extent of hair loss, and desired results. We explain all options clearly during your consultation.


How the Procedure Works — Step by Step

Here’s a breakdown of the entire process:

1. Consultation and Planning

We begin with a detailed consultation. We assess your scalp, hair type, and medical history. Based on this, we design a custom hairline and plan the number of grafts needed.

2. Preparing the Donor Area

The donor area (usually the back of your scalp) is shaved and numbed using local anesthesia. In FUE, grafts are removed one by one. In FUT, a strip is removed and then follicles are separated.

3. Graft Preparation

Each extracted follicle is carefully cleaned and stored in a temperature-controlled solution to maintain its health and viability.

4. Implanting the Grafts

Tiny slits are made in the recipient area, and each follicle is delicately placed at the correct angle and depth to match your natural hair growth.

5. Recovery and Growth

You may return to work within 2-3 days. New hair growth starts in 3-4 months, with full results visible in 9-12 months. The transplanted hair is permanent and grows like natural hair.
