No two heads of hair are the same, so Dr Hair does not believe in one-size-fits-all transplants. Your treatment plan is built around your specific hair-loss pattern, donor area, hair type, graft requirement and the result you are hoping to achieve. Dr Hair works with Implanter Pen, Slit & Place (Needle), and Sapphire FUE, and your doctor will explain which technique is most appropriate after assessing your individual case.
Your doctor will recommend an approach after assessing your hair characteristics, donor supply, hair-loss progression, graft requirement and goals.
Grafts are implanted directly into the recipient area using a specialised pen-like device. This gives the doctor fine control over placement and works well when hairline design and density need to be dialled in precisely.
Recipient sites are created first with fine needles, following the planned hairline, angle and direction. Grafts are then placed one by one by hand using forceps. Because each graft is placed individually, this technique tends to take a bit longer than Implanter Pen.
A refinement of standard FUE that uses a sapphire blade instead of steel to create the recipient sites. The finer blade allows for more precise, controlled site creation.

There isn’t a single “best” technique — it depends on your hair characteristics, donor supply, how far your hair loss has progressed, how many grafts you need, and what you’re aiming for.
A structured process helps you understand what happens before, during and after the procedure.
Your doctor examines your hair loss, donor area, and scalp condition to confirm you're a good candidate.
Together, you'll work out a hairline and graft-placement plan that looks natural and gives appropriate coverage.
Follicles are carefully extracted from the donor area and implanted using the chosen technique.
You'll get clear aftercare instructions, any medications you need, and scheduled check-ins. A follow-up scalp cleaning is usually done around day 8 to support healing.
Every stage of the procedure is carried out by qualified doctors, under proper clinical supervision — not handed off to technicians. That's a deliberate choice we make at Dr Hair.
Your graft requirement, donor availability, existing hairline, and long-term goals all shape the plan — because what works for one person's hair loss won't necessarily work for another's.
Hair transplantation is generally an option for people dealing with pattern hair loss or other forms of permanent hair loss, provided there's an adequate donor supply. The only way to know for sure is a proper assessment of your hair loss, donor area, scalp health, and medical history.
Following the clinic's instructions and understanding the process are important parts of the hair-restoration journey.
