What Is Hair Transplant?

Explained by Expert Dermatologists at Dr. Haror’s Wellness

What Is Hair Transplant and How It Works

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that helps restore hair in areas affected by thinning or baldness. At Dr. Haror’s Wellness, we provide advanced hair restoration solutions specially designed for both men and women. Our surgical procedures ensure natural volume and lasting results.

During the process, healthy hair follicles are carefully taken from a donor area. These are usually taken from the back or sides of a patient's scalp. They are then implanted into spots where the hair is sparse/less or missing.

Once transplanted, these follicles continue to grow naturally in their new location, gradually improving hair thickness and bringing back a fuller, more natural-looking hairline.

We at Dr. Haror’s Wellness clinic understands that deciding to undergo a hair transplant can be a deeply personal and sometimes challenging choice. That’s why we take pride in guiding our patients with complete transparency, ensuring they have all the information they need before making a decision.

History of Hair Transplant

Hair transplantation began in the 1950s when Dr. Norman Orentreich introduced the punch grafting technique. This is a method that involves transplanting small sections of the scalp to areas affected by hair loss. The punch grafting technique was later refined through the development of the strip harvesting technique. In this procedure a strip of the skin on top of the head where hair grows was removed and then carefully divided into smaller follicular units.

By the 1990s, Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) became the standard approach. FUT focused on the precise transplantation of naturally occurring clusters of one to four hairs. This hair transplant technique gave a more natural-looking result.

The early 2000s saw another major breakthrough. During this time the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) came into existence. FUE is a minimally invasive method that allows individual follicular units to be extracted directly from the donor area. This Hair transplant technique greatly reduced visible scarring and shortened recovery time.

Benefits of Hair Transplant

What Makes It the Best Solution for Hair Loss?

A hair transplant is one of the most effective treatments for thinning hair and receding hairlines in both men and women. And the benefits go well beyond just filling empty patches.

  • Permanent results –
    Hair transplant results are permanent. The transplanted follicles grow naturally for a lifetime.
  • Completely natural –
    Because it is your own hair, the new growth looks just like it is your natural hair.
  • Builds confidence –
    A full hairline makes daily life, work, and social moments easier to enjoy.
  • Thicker volume –
    A transplant restores density and makes your hair look fuller and healthier overall.
  • Reduces forehead size –
    With hairline transplant, one with a naturally high forehead can achieve a balanced look.
  • Low maintenance –
    You don’t need to maintain your hair extensively. You can cut, colour, and style it as you want.
  • Safe and reliable –
    Modern hair grafting uses advanced tools, meaning less pain and quicker recovery.
  • Customized plan –
    Every hair loss case is unique. Doctors create a plan that matches your goals and natural hair pattern.

Ideal Candidate for Hair Transplant

Hair transplant is well-suited for people who want natural growth with permanent results. It offers lasting results for different types of hair loss.

  • Men with thinning on the crown or receding patches
  • Women with reduced density or widening part lines
  • Those in the early to moderate stages of hair loss
  • Adults seeking a permanent solution to bald spots
  • Healthy individuals looking for a minimally invasive treatment

Who is not the right candidate?

  • People with advanced baldness and poor donor supply
  • Patients with untreated scalp infections or health issues
  • Individuals expecting very high density in a single session
  • Those who had a recent transplant and still need healing time

Advanced Hair Transplant Techniques

Every person has different hair concerns, and the right technique depends on those needs.

FUT – Follicular Unit Transplantation

FUT is a traditional hair transplant method where a narrow strip of scalp is removed from the back of the head. This strip is divided into follicular grafts and placed in the balding or thinning areas to restore the hairline. FUT is ideal for patients who need a smaller to moderate number of grafts and who have strong donor hair at the back of the scalp. However, it leaves a linear scar at the donor site and has a longer healing time.

Benefits:
  • Generally requires less shaving on the donor area
  • Helps preserve the donor area for future procedures, as follicles are taken from a concentrated strip
Ideal For:
  • Patients who need a smaller to moderate number of grafts and cases where scalp laxity is good and a strip approach is possible
Recovery:
  • Slightly longer recovery compared to FUE
  • Final results appear within 10 to 12 months

FUE – Follicular Unit Extraction

FUE is an advanced and minimally-invasive technique where we extract individual follicles using micro-punch tools. These grafts are then implanted in thinning or bald areas for natural looking regrowth. FUE is suitable even when scalp donor hair is limited because follicles can be taken from other areas like the beard or body. The recovery is quick and scarring is almost invisible. It gives results that look natural. FUE is an excellent option for most patients, including those in advanced stages of hair loss.

Benefits:
  • Minimally invasive and virtually painless
  • No visible linear scar
  • Natural-looking, long-lasting results
Ideal For:
  • Patients in advanced stages of baldness, such as Grade 7, who need a higher number of grafts to achieve better coverage
Recovery:
  • Most patients resume normal activities within 3 to 5 days
  • Full results appear within 9 to 12 months

DHT – Direct Hair Transplant

DHT is an advanced form of FUE where follicles are extracted and implanted immediately without storing them outside the body. This quick process preserves graft health and enhances survival rates.

Benefits:
  • Faster implantation process
  • Higher graft survival rate
  • Natural angle and direction of hair growth
Ideal For:
  • Patients looking for faster results with minimal graft handling
Recovery:
  • Healing within 4 to 5 days
  • Visible results within 6 to 8 months

UR-HT – Ultra Receptive Hair Transplant
Invented by Dr. Navnit Haror

UR-HT is a revolutionary advancement in hair transplantation – refined from the FUE method. It uses an instant and zero-touch implantation technique, where follicles are implanted immediately after extraction – preventing damage and improving survival. This guarantees healthier roots and faster growth with exceptional density.

Benefits:
  • Near 100% graft survival with zero-touch handling
  • 20–25% higher density and better coverage
  • 30–35% faster visible results
  • No visible scarring due to ultra-fine punches
  • Perfectly natural hairline with precise angle and direction
Ideal For:
  • Patients seeking the most advanced and results-driven transplant with faster recovery and maximum density
Recovery:
  • Healing in 3 to 4 days
  • Visible results within 3 months
  • Fuller growth achieved in 9–12 months

Which Hair Transplant Method Is Best?

Here’s a quick comparison to help you understand how each method differs.

Technique Ideal For Healing Time Density Cost Level
FUT Patients needing a moderate number of grafts or those looking for cheaper treatment option 7–10 days High Moderate
FUE Most hair loss stages, especially patients wanting a minimally invasive approach with no linear scar and higher graft counts 3–5 days Natural Moderate–High
DHT Those wanting quick implantation with minimal handling 4–5 days Very High High
UR-HT Patients seeking scar-free and high-density results using advanced zero-touch methods 3–4 days Maximum Premium

Cutting-Edge Hair Transplant Tools and Technologies

Hair transplant technology continues to improve, and we bring the latest innovations to our patients. At Dr. Haror’s Wellness – we rely on safe and FDA-approved tools that help us deliver natural and lasting results.

Sapphire blades

We use sapphire tips instead of regular steel. These create smaller, cleaner channels and reduce tissue damage. They also support faster recovery with denser outcomes.


Micro precision punches

We use ultra-fine punches, as small as 0.7 mm, to harvest follicles gently. They leave minimal marks and cause less discomfort during recovery.


Implanter pen

A special implanter pen allows us to place follicles directly. It gives us better control over angle, direction, and depth for a natural hairline.


High-magnification systems

Our team prepares every graft under strong magnification. This protects the follicle roots and ensures they remain healthy until implantation.


PRP support

We combine platelet-rich plasma with surgery to encourage quicker healing and stimulate new hair growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, the results can be subtle. We offer an unshaven hair transplant where you don't have to trim your hair to get a transplant. This way, no one will know about your surgery. Also, our results blend naturally with your existing hair, offering perfect angle and density for undetectable results.

Some initial shedding is normal in the first few weeks. However, the transplanted roots remain intact and regrow naturally after healing.
