Hair loss affects millions of men and women, impacting confidence and self-esteem. Dr. Karan Shetty offers state-of-the-art hair transplant solutions using the latest techniques to restore natural-looking, permanent hair growth. Whether you're experiencing male pattern baldness, thinning hair, or receding hairlines, Dr. Karan Shetty can help you regain a fuller, more youthful appearance.
The Science Behind Success
Hair transplant works by moving your own healthy hair follicles from areas of dense growth (donor zone) to thinning or bald areas (recipient zone). Since these are your own follicles, they grow naturally for life.
The most popular modern technique. Individual hair follicles are extracted one-by-one from the donor area using a micro-punch tool (0.6-1.0mm). This leaves tiny dot scars that are virtually invisible, even with short hair.
A strip of scalp is removed from the donor area, dissected into individual follicular units under microscope, and transplanted. Leaves a fine linear scar that is hidden under hair.
Dr. Karan Shetty assesses your hair loss pattern, donor density, scalp laxity, and discusses your goals. Together, you'll design a natural hairline and determine the number of grafts needed.
You may receive PRP therapy or scalp preparation to optimize graft survival. Avoid alcohol, smoking, and blood-thinning medications.
Done under local anesthesia (you're awake but comfortable). Follicles are extracted, prepared under microscope, and meticulously implanted at precise angles and densities for natural results. You can watch TV, listen to music, or rest.
Transplanted hair sheds in 2-4 weeks (normal "shock loss"), then begins regrowing at 3-4 months. Significant density visible at 6 months, with final results at 12-18 months.

Enhance and maintain your hair transplant results:
"Hair restoration is not just about transplanting follicles—it's about understanding the patient's unique hair characteristics, designing an age-appropriate hairline, and creating results that look completely natural. My goal is for people to never know you had a transplant, only that you have great hair."

Don't let hair loss hold you back. Schedule your consultation with Dr. Karan Shetty and discover your hair restoration options.
Book ConsultationYes! Transplanted hair is genetically resistant to balding hormones (DHT) and grows for life. However, you may continue to lose non-transplanted hair, which is why medical management is often recommended.
When performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Karan Shetty, results are indistinguishable from natural hair. Proper hairline design, graft placement angle, and density are critical.
Depends on the size of the balding area and desired density. Typical range: 1500-3000 grafts for moderate hair loss, 3000-5000+ for advanced baldness. Dr. Karan Shetty will assess during consultation.
Done under local anesthesia with minimal discomfort. You may feel slight pressure during extraction/implantation, but no pain. Most patients find it much easier than expected.
Most patients return to work in 3-5 days (FUE) or 7-10 days (FUT). Swelling peaks at day 2-3, then resolves. Avoid strenuous exercise for 2 weeks. You can wash your hair gently after 48 hours.
If you have sufficient donor hair density, are in good health, and have realistic expectations, you're likely a candidate. Age 25+ preferred (hair loss pattern stabilized). Women with diffuse thinning may benefit from PRP or PDRN instead.
