Introduction

A hair transplant in India is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring hair growth in areas affected by baldness or thinning. It involves the removal of healthy hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back or sides of the head) and transplanting them to the recipient area with less hair or no hair. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort for the patient. India offers a wide range of experienced specialists and advanced clinics that perform hair transplant procedures. Patients considering this treatment should consult with a qualified specialist to determine the best approach for their specific needs and expectations.
