Best Hair transplantation in Chennai
Hair transplantation is a technique that removes hair follicles from one part of the body, called the ‘donor site’ (usually the back of the head), to a bald or balding part of the body known as the ‘recipient site’. The technique is primarily used to treat male pattern baldness. A hair transplant in Chennai is a minimally invasive procedure where grafts containing hair follicles that are genetically resistant to balding (like the back of the head) are transplanted to the bald scalp. This procedure can also be used to restore eyelashes, eyebrows, beard hair, chest hair, and pubic hair and to fill in scars caused by accidents or surgery.
Since hair naturally grows in groupings of 1 to 4, current techniques harvest and transplant hair “follicular units” in their natural groupings. Thus, modern hair transplantation can achieve a natural appearance by mimicking the original hair orientation. At Hande Hospital we use the modern and more reliable and effective methods of hair transplantation in Chennai like the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure. Therefore, you do not have to worry about too much pain or scarring. The recovery is easier, quick, and poses fewer to no risk of complications.
The recovery period after is procedure is around 2 weeks and will require the stitches/staples to be removed by medical personnel unless absorbable sutures are used.

Pre-Operative Assessment And Planning
At an initial consultation, our surgeon analyzes the patient’s scalp, discusses their preferences and expectations, and advises them on the best treatment approach. They also personally study each case and determine the number of sessions required to achieve the desired results, set clear goals and expectations, and identify the potential risks and/or complications, if any.
For a successful and risk-free hair transplant in Chennai, the patient is required to refrain from smoking, consuming alcohol, and taking certain medications like blood thinners for at least two weeks before the treatment. This significantly reduces the risk of potential complications like bleeding, improper healing, and unwanted drug interactions.
Understanding the Procedure of Hair Transplant in Chennai
Hair transplant operations are performed on an outpatient basis, with mild sedation (optional) and injected local anaesthesia. The scalp is shampooed and then treated with an antibacterial agent before the donor scalp is harvested.
As previously mentioned, at Hande Hospital we use only the Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method to provide the best hair transplant in Chennai.
With Follicular Unit Extraction harvesting, individual follicular units containing 1 to 4 hairs are removed under local anaesthesia; this micro removal typically uses tiny punches of between 0.6mm and 1.0mm in diameter. The surgeon then uses very fine needles to puncture the sites for receiving the grafts, placing them in a predetermined density and pattern, and consistently angling the wounds to promote a realistic hair pattern. The technicians generally do the final part of the procedure, inserting the individual grafts in place.
FUE may take place in a single long session or multiple small sessions and is more time-consuming than the traditional strip surgery method. The surgery duration varies according to the surgeon’s experience, speed in harvesting, and patient characteristics. It can take several hours and typically takes 6 – 8 hours to transplant 3500 to 400 hairs. The patient is fully awake during this time and may be given something to drink or eat in between. With the FUE hair transplantation in Chennai, there are restrictions on patient candidacy.
Because individual follicles are removed, only small, punctate scars remain which are virtually not visible and any post-surgical pain and discomfort is minimized. As no suture removal is required, the recovery period after Micro Grafting FUE is very short.
The procedure is physically demanding.
There are several applications for hair transplant surgery, including:
- Androgenetic alopecia (the most common reason for balding).
- Eyebrow transplant
- Frontal hairline lowering or reconstruction (naturally high hairlines without an existing hair loss condition)
If donor hair numbers from the back of the head are insufficient, it is possible to perform Body Hair Transplantation (BHT) on appropriate candidates who have available donor hair on the chest, back, shoulders, torso and/or legs. Body hair transplant surgery can only be performed by the FUE harvesting method and, thus, requires the skills of an experienced FUE surgeon. However, there are several factors for a potential BHT candidate to consider before surgery. These include understanding the natural difference in textural characteristics between body hair and scalp hair, growth rates, and having realistic expectations about the results of BHT surgery.
