Hair loss and baldness are very common problems, but fortunately, there’s a solution. Dr Hitesh Laad offers most advanced FUE and FUT Hair transplant procedures at Authentic Hair Transplant and Cosmetic Centre, Pune, that can help people with these issues get back their confidence in themselves once again!
Principle of Hair transplant: Basic principle of Hair transplant is that the hair on the donor area (Back of your scalp - occipital zone) are not affected by hormonal and genetic influences which are the main cause of Hair loss in most of the patients. Thus they are resistant to fall under genetic and hormonal influences. These hairs when transferred to the recipient area, they do not show the same tendency to be lost under genetic or hormonal influnces.
In the present scenario FUE or FUT hair transplant are the most commonly recommended techniques for the correction of androgenic alopecia in male or female patients. Out of these two techniques FUE Hair transplant is more in vogue for it’s less invasive nature. These are very safe and reproducible procedures for hair restoration in male or female pattern hair loss or alopecia.
In hair restoration surgery, trained hair transplant surgeons remove hair follicles along with Hair roots and transfers them to other part of the scalp / balding areas to ensure growth. There are two main types:
FUE is a type of hair transplant surgery where the surgeon takes individual follicles from skin and implants them onto your hair deficient areas on scalp.
FUT is a type of hair transplant surgery where the surgeon takes a strip of skin along with hair follicles, then dissects hair follicles from this strip of skin and then trasnfers individual hair grafts or follicular units to hair deficient areas /bald areas on your scalp.
Details of these procedures are given in further on same page.
Hair Transplant is a very safe and reproducible procedure for hair restoration in male or female pattern hair loss or alopecia.
FUE technique of Hair transplant is also known as follicular unit excision technique or Follicular unit extraction technique. FUE Hair transplant is the most common technique opted by most of the patients at present. Here individual follicular units are picked up by the operating surgeon using a motorised punch system. This is avery skilful procedure to ensure pick up of all units intact. These units are picked up in an irregularly irregular pattern, from your donor site (back of the scalp). This does not involve the removal of any piece of skin to harvest hair, hence no stitches are required in this procedure. It is right to say that this is a “stitch less procedure”.
This procedure leaves multiple punctate spots in the donor area which are usually inconspicuous. Therefore using the word “scarless Hair transplant” is considered nonscientific as per the various national and international societies for Hair transplant.
Recovery after FUE hair transplant surgery is usually very fast and smooth.
Your dressing is removed after 48 hours of Hair transplant. In most of our patients we observe that healing is completed within 24 hours due to the surgical technique we adopt and with the use of appropriate size of punches at our center.
Usual recovery process is further explained on this page as a separate heading.

“Authentic Hair Transplant and Cosmetic Centre” is one of the best centre for FUE hair transplant surgery in Pune India.
FUE hair transplant is usually done under local anesthesia so that you won’t feel any discomfort. Dr Hitesh Laad will use a motorized punch to harvest the follicles and then collect them using atraumatic techniques. The doctor and his Team will then place these precious hair follicles into micro slits made on the recipient area.
In Follicular Hair transplant (FUT) or strip surgery a long transverse piece of skin is removed from the donor area from one side of the scalp to the other side of the scalp. The resultant defect is closed in layers and the external skin layer is closed by using a single running suture (Stitch). This external suture usually dissolves at its own in 15 to 21 days of time. From the harvested skin piece (strip), individual follicular units are dissected by the operating team and these isolated units are then transferred to your recipient area on the scalp.
It is a misconception that any one technique is better than the other technique. Both the techniques are good and have advantages over each other. Usually it is considered by the patients that FUT hair transplant is inferior to the FUE hair transplant as it involves stiches. Some people consider that this is an obsolete procedure. This is a wrong presumption.
FUT technique also has some advantages over FUE technique. These advantages are that during FUT all harvested hair come from permanent and more stringent safe donor area. Scar heals very inconspicuously when performed correctly in favorable patients. It also adds to the total no of grafts that can be harvested from the given donor area. When there is a need for a higher number of grafts and donor area is not sufficient, in such cases to meet the demand of high number of hair grafts, adding FUT surgery can be very useful. FUT surgery has a unique advantage in female patients. In female patients doing FUT procedure can prevent them from undergoing significant shaving in the donor area. Higher no of grafted can be harvested from a small area shaved on the back of the scalp with the help of FUT surgery technique. It is easy to understand the advantages associated with FUT surgery in a female patient. Another option in female patients is long hair (unshaven) hair transplant. this is adifferent procedure than FUT and it resembles to FUE surgery.
FUE has some advantages over FUT in being a stitch less procedure. It has a little faster and comfortable recovery in comparison to FUT. It also avoids a transverse cut scar in the donor area. That is why most of the patients opt for FUE procedure.
For the same reason at Authentic Hair Transplant and Cosmetic Centre most of the surgeries are performed by the most advanced FUE technique only but at the same time Dr Hitesh Laad and his team also performs FUT hair transplant procedure in a select few patients with equal ease and successful outcome. Authentic Hair Transplant and Cosmetic Centre is one of the best centre in Pune - India for your hair transplant or Hair restoration surgery.

It is also done in cases of Bear or moustache reconstruction when these areas are thin or have absent hairs
FUE Hair Transplant: FUE is a type of hair transplant surgery that uses extraction devices to remove individual follicles from the scalp and then transplants them into another area. Local anesthesia will be used for comfort during this process, which means you won’t feel any pain or discomfort as your surgeon works!
FUT Hair Transplant: Dr Hitesh Laad will first administer local anesthesia to ensure that you do not feel any discomfort as we perform this procedure on your head. Then Dr. Hitesh will harvest hair from the donor area and carefully dissect it in order to transplant these precious strands into slits made onto target areas!

Recovery after FUE hair transplant surgery is usually very fast and smooth.
Your dressing is removed after 48 hours of Hair transplant. In most of our patients we observe that healing is completed within 24 hours due to the surgical technique we adopt and with the use of appropriate size of punches at our center.
Minor swelling may be present on the forehead during the initial few days of your recovery. This is due to the gravity effect on anesthesia solution used during surgery. This is a normal physiological condition. There is nothing to bother about it at all. This swelling, if present, is not associated with any pain or discomfort. This is observed very rarely at our center due to advanced techniques of giving anesthesia and the surgical care we provide.
You need to take some medicines in the early post-operative period for 5 days or so.
You are also suggested to sprinkle normal saline solution on the recipient area a few times in a day to keep transplanted hair moist.
You are provided with surgical caps to keep your operated site protected from environment, dust or pollution. This is to be worn for the first 5 days or so.
Your dressing is removed the next day or two days after surgery, by that time your donor area is healed completely. With the appropriate size of punches, usually the donor area seems to be healed in 24 hours only but some micro lesions are still present, so it is better to keep it covered for a minimum of 48 hours or so as a precautionary measure. There are no visible operative scars on the recipient area. Appearance of punctate scars or Hypo pigmented dots in donor areas is a rare possibility. This depends on multiple factors including your healing tendency. Your operating surgeon will be able to comment on this after examining you.
For the first 3 months after FUE hair transplant surgery, there is a shedding phase, in which the external shaft of newly implanted hair falls out. All the transplanted roots are viable and live under the skin. Gradually these hair roots enter into the growth phase and you start observing growth of the transplanted hairs.
Shock loss is temporary hair fall after Hair transplant surgery. This happens secondary to the effect of surgery. In this condition some hair (non-transplanted hair) enters into the resting phase or falling phase after hair transplant. After a period of around three months these hair return back to the growth phase and get restored on your scalp. With better technique and advancements this effect is no longer seen commonly. At the Authentic Hair Transplant and Cosmetic Centre this is a very rare condition to be observed. Consult your Hair transplant surgeon to understand it in detail.
Usually only 30 % hair growth is visible at the end of 3 months. Nearly 50 % to 60% of hair growth is visible by the end of 6 months. Around 70 to 80 % growth of transplanted hair is visible in 9 months and you can see a near complete result nearly by the end of 1 year of your FUE Hair transplant Surgery. There can be individual variations in visible growth pattern depending on hair quality of donor area and surgical management of the patient. Some hair growth may be seen even upto 15 months or so.
In case of FUT Surgery: suture lione generally heals in 7 to 10 days of time. you can start washimng heads from 5 th day itself once clearance is given by operating surgeon. With advance techniques of closure, we call it Trichophytic closure, there is hardly any scar visible at operated site. and with minimal hair length in donor area No scar is visible. that is the fantastic aspect of this Surgery.
