Hair Transplant
FUE hair transplant in Indiranagar, planned around your hair loss, your donor area and the hairline that suits your face. The aim is density that looks natural, not an obviously transplanted hairline.
A hair transplant in Indiranagar is a big decision, and the result depends as much on the planning as on the surgery: how much donor hair you have, how your hair loss may progress, and where the hairline should sit on your face in ten years, not just next year.
What is an FUE hair transplant?
FUE stands for follicular unit extraction. Hair follicles are taken one by one from the back and sides of the scalp, where hair naturally resists balding, and placed into thinning or bald areas. It leaves tiny dot scars that stay hidden in short hair, rather than a long linear scar.
Are you a good candidate?
- Hair loss that has become stable, usually confirmed over the past year.
- Enough healthy hair in the donor area at the back and sides.
- Realistic expectations about density, especially for large bald areas.
- Good general health, with any scalp conditions treated first.
If your hair loss is still early or changing quickly, PRP hair treatment and medication may be the better first step.
The procedure day
- The new hairline and the areas to fill are planned and marked.
- Local anaesthetic numbs the donor and recipient areas.
- Follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area.
- Tiny openings are made in the recipient area at the right angle and direction.
- The follicles are placed, and you go home the same day with aftercare instructions.
Recovery and results timeline
- First week: small scabs form and fall off within about seven to ten days.
- Two to six weeks: the transplanted hairs usually shed. This is expected, and the follicles stay in place.
- Three to four months: new hair starts to grow.
- Nine to twelve months: most of the final density and length are visible.
What decides hair transplant cost in Indiranagar
Cost depends on the number of grafts needed, the size of the area, the density you want and whether the beard, moustache or eyebrows are also treated. It is quoted after the consultation, once your donor area and hair loss are assessed.
Hair transplant in Indiranagar: common questions
The area is numbed with local anaesthetic, so most people feel the injections at the start and little after that. Mild soreness for a few days is common.
Transplanted follicles come from areas that resist balding, so they usually keep growing long term. Your original hair can still thin, which is why medication or PRP is often continued.
Most people return to desk work in about three to five days, once swelling settles and the scabs are less visible.
Yes. Beard, moustache and eyebrow transplants use the same FUE method. See hair treatments.
PRP protects and thickens existing hair, while a transplant fills areas that are already bald. Many people need both. Read PRP vs hair transplant.
Yes, when it is planned and done properly under local anaesthetic. Swelling, scabbing and temporary shedding are normal. The main risks come from poor planning, such as an unnatural hairline or over-harvesting the donor area.
Failure usually means poor graft survival or a result that does not match expectations. Careful graft handling, a realistic plan and treating ongoing hair loss with medication or PRP reduce that risk.
Some can, especially with a stable thinning area or a high hairline. Many women with diffuse thinning do better with medication and PRP first, which the consultation decides.
It depends on the number of grafts and the area. At Theory of Skin, Indiranagar, a hair consultation is ₹849, and the transplant is quoted after your donor area is assessed.
