1. The Truth About Graft Survival Rates

Many clinics claim "100% survival rate". This is medically impossible. Even in the best hands globally, the survival rate of transplanted follicles typically ranges between 90-95%.

Our Promise: We consistently achieve 95%+ survival because we use the Pen Implanter Technique, which reduces handling of the grafts and ensures they are out of the body for the shortest possible time.

2. Who Should NOT Get a Hair Transplant?

Not everyone is a candidate. We will refuse to operate if:

  • You are too young (under 23) with unstable hair loss.
  • Your donor area (back of head) is too weak/thin.
  • You have unrealistic expectations of "density like a teenager".
  • You have medical conditions like unchecked Alopecia Areata.

We prioritize your long-term appearance over short-term profit.

3. Healing Timeline: What to Really Expect

Day 1-3

Mild swelling on forehead. Tiny scabs form.

Day 7-10

Scabs fall off. You stick to our specific washing instruction.

Month 1-3

Shock Loss Phase: Transplanted hair sheds. This is normal! Do not panic.

Month 4+

Permanent growth begins. Visible results start appearing.

4. Pricing Transparency

We charge per graft, not per "follicle" (some clinics count strands to inflate numbers). One graft can contain 1-4 hairs.

Our packages are all-inclusive: Procedure + PRP Session + Post-op Care Kit.

5. Who Performs Your Surgery?

In many hair transplant clinics in Bangalore, the surgeon consults you and then hands the procedure over to a trained technician. At Sanjeevani Cos Derma, the lead surgeon performs your entire procedure personally — from extraction to implantation.

This matters because graft placement angle (30–45°) and the hairline design are the two factors that determine whether your result looks natural or artificial. These are medical decisions that require a doctor's judgement — not just technical skill.

Our Commitment: Every procedure at Sanjeevani is doctor-led, not technician-performed. When you book a consultation, you meet the same surgeon who will do your hair transplant in Bangalore — and that doctor is present from start to finish.

6. PRP After Hair Transplant — Why We Include It

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is not a sales add-on at our clinic. We include one PRP session in every hair transplant package because clinical evidence shows it reduces shock loss and accelerates follicle anchoring in the first 30 days — the most critical period for graft survival.

PRP involves drawing a small amount of your own blood, concentrating the growth factors, and injecting it into the recipient area on the same day as your transplant. It is autologous (from your own body), so there is no risk of allergic reaction.

Many clinics in Bangalore offer PRP as a paid add-on at ₹5,000–₹15,000 per session after surgery. We believe this is a medically necessary part of a complete hair transplant — not an optional extra.

7. Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Transplant in Bangalore

How many sessions does a hair transplant take?

One session is sufficient for most patients with Norwood Grade 2–4 hair loss. Patients with Grade 5–6 or larger bald areas may require two sessions spaced 12–18 months apart to allow the donor area to fully recover between procedures.

Is hair transplant permanent in Bangalore's climate?

Yes. Transplanted follicles are taken from the occipital (back of head) donor zone, which is genetically resistant to DHT — the hormone responsible for male-pattern baldness. Bangalore's climate does not affect this genetic resistance. Your transplanted hair is permanent.

What is the difference between FUE and the Pen Implanter technique?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is the harvesting method — individual follicles are removed from the donor area using a micro-punch. The Pen Implanter is the implantation tool used to place those grafts precisely into the recipient area. We combine FUE extraction with Pen Implanter implantation, which achieves better graft survival than traditional forceps because the follicle spends significantly less time outside the body.

What is the recovery time for hair transplant in Bangalore?

Most patients return to office work within 5–7 days. Redness and scabbing resolve by Day 10–14. Light exercise is safe after 3 weeks and all activities including swimming can resume by Week 6. Full, final results are visible at 10–12 months.

Why does shock loss happen, and is it permanent?

Shock loss (telogen effluvium) is a temporary shedding of both transplanted and native hairs triggered by the trauma of the procedure. It typically begins at Week 3 and resolves by Month 3–4. Transplanted hairs re-enter the growth phase from Month 4 onward. Shock loss is not permanent — it is a normal, expected phase of the healing process.

8. Medical Standards — What Happens Inside Our Clinic

We operate under strict sterility and safety protocols aligned with dermatological surgical standards in India. Here is exactly what happens at our clinic:

  • Pre-procedure blood work — Every patient undergoes a basic blood panel (CBC, blood sugar, hepatitis screening) before surgery to confirm fitness for the procedure.
  • Local anaesthesia only — Hair transplant does not require general anaesthesia. We use tumescent local anaesthesia. You remain awake and comfortable throughout the entire session.
  • Graft hydration — Extracted follicles are stored in chilled saline solution throughout the procedure to preserve viability and maximise survival rate.
  • Post-op care kit included — You leave with a post-operative kit containing a gentle saline spray, antibiotics, and detailed written care instructions.
  • 48-hour follow-up call — Our medical team contacts every patient within 48 hours of surgery to check healing progress and address any concerns.

We serve patients from across Karnataka and beyond — including those specifically seeking a hair transplant in Bangalore performed by a qualified dermatologist. Our Rajajinagar clinic is open six days a week for consultations.
