Patient Profile
-
Name: Jugal Aariwala
-
Age: 37 years
-
Gender: Male
-
Location: Surat, India
Mr. Jugal experienced progressive hair fall for three to four years, with visible recession and thinning over the last two to three years. At presentation, he showed hair loss mainly in the frontal and temporal regions, while the mid-scalp remained relatively dense, corresponding to Grade III–IV androgenetic alopecia.
He had no family history of baldness and no medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, or thyroid disease. There was no history of allergies, surgeries, or keloid formation, making him a suitable candidate for hair transplantation.
Previous Hair Loss Treatments
Before visiting our clinic, the patient had tried multivitamins and oral supplements. These provided a short-term reduction in hair fall but failed to improve density or halt progression.
The patient had a consultation at the Hair Free and Hair Grow Clinic.
Mr. Jugal consulted Dr. Jinkal Kunjadiya, a dermatologist at the Hair Free and Hair Grow Clinic, Surat. A detailed scalp and hair analysis was performed, including donor area evaluation and trichoscopic assessment.
The procedure, recovery timeline, expected growth phases, and post-transplant care were explained in detail. After understanding the treatment plan, the patient decided to proceed with surgery.

Step-by-Step Hair Transplant Procedure
Hairline Design and Planning
A natural hairline was designed according to the patient’s facial proportions and hair loss pattern. The frontal area was carefully marked.
Trichoscopic examination confirmed good donor density with thick, black hair, suitable for achieving optimal coverage.
Preoperative Preparation
An anesthesia sensitivity test was performed and found to be negative. The scalp was shaved and cleaned under sterile conditions. Local anesthesia was administered using a modified block technique with vibration support to minimize discomfort.
Recipient Site Creation
Recipient sites were created using sapphire tip blades:
-
1.2 mm for the hairline
-
1.4 mm for other frontal areas
Proper slit angle and direction were maintained to ensure natural hair growth.
Graft Extraction
Follicular units were extracted using a 0.8 mm sharp serrated titanium punch under magnification. Extraction took approximately 80 minutes.
Graft composition:
-
15% single-hair grafts
-
85% multi-hair grafts (double and triple units)
A good number of triple-hair grafts helped achieve better density.
Graft Storage and Implantation
Extracted grafts were preserved at 4°C in Ringer’s Lactate solution using a graft chiller.
Implantation was performed with K.E.E.P. implanters for single, double, and triple follicular units. Implantation time was approximately two hours.
Post-Procedure Care
After surgery, a dressing was applied, and medications were prescribed. Detailed postoperative instructions were given. The patient also received direct contact details for medical follow-up.
Post-Transplant Hair Growth Timeline
Shedding Phase (0–3 Months)
Around 70–80% of transplanted hair sheds, which is expected. One PRP session was given every two months. Existing mid-scalp hair showed improvement, and hair fall was reduced. The donor area healed completely within 30 days.
Early Growth Phase (3–5 Months)
New hair growth began gradually after three months. A second PRP session was administered to stimulate follicle activity. By five months, trimmed hair provided a visibly fuller appearance.
Active Growth Phase (6–9 Months)
From six months onward, transplanted hair entered the active growth phase. Nearly 90% of grafts showed growth. Density was sufficient for styling. A booster PRP session was given at nine months.
Final Hair Transplant Result (12 Months)
At 12 months, the final result was achieved. The hairline appeared natural, density was evenly distributed, and both donor and recipient areas blended well. The patient could style his hair freely and had multiple haircuts without concern.
He was advised to continue minoxidil and opt for PRP sessions in the future if required to maintain existing hair.
Patient Outcome and Satisfaction
Mr. Jugal Aariwala was highly satisfied with his hair transplant results. The procedure restored both his appearance and confidence. His case demonstrates why Hair Free and Hair Grow Clinic is the best hair transplant clinic in India, trusted for consistent outcomes and ethical medical care.
