What is FUE hair transplant and how does it work?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted one by one from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp) using a micro-punch tool, then transplanted to areas of thinning or baldness. It is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure, leaving only tiny dot scars at extraction sites. FUE sessions typically last 2–4 hours; larger sessions may take 10–12 hours. At Jata Hair Sciences, FUE is performed by Dr. Vinay Chouksey, MBBS, MS (General Surgery), with 18+ years of surgical experience.

What is the difference between FUE, FUT, and DHI hair transplant?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) extracts individual follicles leaving tiny dot scars. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) removes a strip of scalp, leaving a linear scar but allowing harvesting of more grafts in one session. DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) uses a Choi implanter pen to simultaneously extract and implant follicles, offering more precise angle and direction control. Jata Hair Sciences offers all three techniques; the best choice depends on the patient's degree of hair loss, donor density, and desired coverage.

How much does a hair transplant cost in Mumbai?

Hair transplant cost in Mumbai varies based on the number of grafts required (typically 1,000–4,000+ grafts for moderate to advanced hair loss), the technique used (FUE, DHI, Sapphire Blade), and the surgeon's expertise. At Jata Hair Sciences in Andheri West, pricing is personalised after a consultation and assessment of hair loss grade. Contact the clinic at +91 77770 19446 or book a free consultation at jatahairsciences.com for a specific quote.

Is hair transplant permanent?

Hair transplant results are considered permanent for the transplanted follicles, as they are taken from DHT-resistant donor areas and retain this resistance after transplantation. However, native (non-transplanted) hair may continue to thin over time due to ongoing Androgenetic Alopecia, potentially requiring additional sessions or medical maintenance therapy.

What is the recovery time after a hair transplant?

Most patients can return to desk work and light activity within 7–10 days of an FUE hair transplant. Strenuous exercise and swimming should be avoided for 2–4 weeks. The transplanted hair sheds (shock loss) at 2–8 weeks post-procedure, which is normal. New hair growth begins at 3–4 months and full results are visible at 12–18 months.

What is Sapphire Blade FUE hair transplant?

Sapphire Blade FUE is an advanced variation of standard FUE where channels (recipient sites) are created using blades made from synthetic sapphire rather than steel. Sapphire blades allow smaller, more precise channels, reducing tissue trauma, minimising scabbing, and allowing higher graft density. This results in faster healing and a more natural-looking outcome. Dr. Vinay Chouksey at Jata Hair Sciences is trained in Sapphire Blade technique.

What is Regenera Activa and how does it treat hair loss?

Regenera Activa is a CE-marked, minimally invasive non-surgical hair restoration treatment. A small punch biopsy (2–4 mm) is taken from a healthy area of the scalp, processed into autologous micrografts rich in progenitor cells and growth factors, and injected into areas of hair loss. The procedure takes about 45 minutes, requires no downtime, and results are typically visible within 2–3 months. Jata Hair Sciences offers Regenera Activa as a non-surgical alternative to transplant for early-stage hair loss.

Can women get hair transplants?

Yes. Women with stable female pattern hair loss (Ludwig classification) and sufficient donor hair density can be candidates for hair transplant. Jata Hair Sciences evaluates women for both surgical and non-surgical options including FUE transplant, PRP therapy, QR678 injections, Regenera Activa, and prescription treatments such as Spironolactone. A detailed trichoscopy assessment is conducted before recommending a treatment plan.

What is PRP therapy for hair loss?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy involves drawing a small amount of the patient's blood, centrifuging it to concentrate platelets and growth factors, and injecting the plasma into the scalp. The growth factors stimulate hair follicles, prolonging the growth phase and improving hair thickness. PRP is used for early-stage hair loss, as a standalone treatment, or as a complement to hair transplant surgery. At Jata Hair Sciences, PRP sessions are performed by trained medical professionals under Dr. Vinay Chouksey's supervision.

What causes hair loss in women?

Hair loss in women can be caused by multiple factors: Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL/Androgenetic Alopecia), thyroid disorders (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism), Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), Alopecia Areata (autoimmune), nutritional deficiencies (iron, ferritin, vitamin D), extreme stress (Telogen Effluvium), crash diets, post-pregnancy hormonal changes (postpartum alopecia), and certain medications. Jata Hair Sciences offers specialised diagnosis and treatment for all these conditions.

Does thyroid disease cause hair loss?

Yes. Both hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) can cause diffuse hair loss across the scalp. This occurs because thyroid hormones regulate the hair growth cycle; an imbalance can push follicles into the resting (telogen) phase prematurely. Jata Hair Sciences diagnoses thyroid-related hair loss through blood tests and trichoscopy, and treats it with a combination of medical management and hair restoration therapies.

What is Scalp Micro Pigmentation (SMP)?

Scalp Micro Pigmentation (SMP) is a non-surgical, cosmetic procedure that uses specialised micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp dermis, replicating the look of shaved hair follicles or adding the impression of density. It is used for complete hair loss (alopecia totalis), to camouflage FUT scars, create a defined hairline, or add the appearance of density to thinning areas. SMP is a semi-permanent treatment available at Jata Hair Sciences in Mumbai.

How do I know if I am a candidate for hair transplant?

Good candidates for hair transplant include individuals with stable hair loss (Norwood Grade III–VI for men, Ludwig I–II for women), adequate donor hair density at the back and sides of the scalp, good general health, and realistic expectations. Age, scalp laxity, hair texture, and degree of loss are also evaluated. Jata Hair Sciences offers a free consultation with Dr. Vinay Chouksey to assess candidacy. Call +91 77770 19446 or book at jatahairsciences.com.

What is QR 678 hair treatment?

QR 678 is a proprietary growth factor cocktail developed in India as a non-surgical hair regrowth treatment. It is administered as a series of scalp injections containing a combination of growth factors that stimulate hair follicles and promote regrowth. It is used for Androgenetic Alopecia, Alopecia Areata, and diffuse hair thinning in both men and women.
