What is a Hair Transplant?

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that moves healthy hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp) to areas affected by hair loss or baldness. The transplanted follicles are genetically resistant to DHT — the hormone responsible for male and female pattern baldness — which means the results are permanent.

Hair Transplant Techniques Available in Karachi

1. FUE — Follicular Unit Extraction (Most Popular)

FUE is the gold standard in modern hair restoration. Individual follicular units are extracted one by one from the donor area and implanted into the recipient area.

  • No linear scar — only tiny dot scars invisible to the naked eye
  • Faster recovery — most patients return to work within 5–7 days
  • Natural results — grafts placed at the correct angle and density

2. FUT — Follicular Unit Transplantation (Strip Method)

A strip of scalp is removed from the donor area, dissected into individual grafts, and implanted into thinning areas. FUT allows more grafts in a single session but leaves a linear scar.

  • Higher graft yield — ideal for advanced hair loss (Norwood 5–7)
  • Lower cost per graft compared to FUE

3. PRP + Hair Transplant Combined

At Alkhaleej Clinics, we combine Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy with hair transplant surgery to accelerate healing and improve graft survival rates by up to 30%.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is hair transplant painful?

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia so you feel no pain during surgery. Mild soreness for 2–3 days after is normal and managed with prescribed painkillers.

Is hair transplant permanent?

Yes. Transplanted follicles are taken from the DHT-resistant donor zone and remain permanently in the new location.

Can women get a hair transplant?

Yes. Female hair loss can be treated with FUE when there is adequate donor hair. Our team has extensive experience in female hair restoration.
