Hair loss takes a real toll on confidence, for men and women both, and the most common driver in men is androgenetic alopecia hair loss caused by DHT (dihydrotestosterone) binding to receptors on the hair follicle. Over time that binding shrinks the follicle, shortens its growth cycle, and eventually starves it of the nutrients it needs, which is what leads to visible thinning and balding. Genetics plays a large role too, and this hereditary pattern isn't linked to any underlying medical condition. Hair transplant surgery works around that by moving healthy, DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area usually the back or sides of the scalp into the thinning or bald zones, individually or in small groups depending on the technique. At Dadu Medical Centre, the two most established techniques are used: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), alongside DMC's own refined approach, DMC-Golden Touch®. A full session typically runs 4–6 hours, and cost in Delhi ranges from ₹50,000 to ₹1,50,000, scaling mainly with graft count:
(Per-graft cost generally runs ₹20–₹120 depending on donor-site health; figures above are estimates and exclude applicable taxes.) Available at Dadu Medical Centre Vasant Vihar (South Delhi) & Rajouri Garden (West Delhi).

Book a free online consultationthe surgeon sketches and proposes a hairline placement based on the patient's face shape and degree of hair loss, and the donor area is assessed
administered to both donor and recipient areas to minimise bleeding and discomfort
healthy follicles are removed either individually (FUE, using a specialised device) or as a single strip that's later dissected under a microscope (FUT)
in FUT, the strip is divided into individual follicular units under magnification; in FUE, extracted grafts are sorted and kept viable for implantation
each follicle is placed into the recipient area at a precise angle and direction for a natural growth pattern
most patients go home the same day and resume regular activity within 1–2 weeks
transplanted hair sheds within the first 2 weeks (normal and expected), followed by a dormant period before new growth begins
most visible around the 9-month mark, with density continuing to improve after that
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) works by lifting individual follicular units straight from the donor site using a specialised device, one graft at a time. There's no incision, no sutures, and no linear scar which is why it's the preferred route for patients who keep their hair short or who are looking to camouflage scarring from an earlier procedure. Recovery tends to be quicker for this reason.
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) takes a different route a single strip of donor skin is removed, then dissected into individual follicular units under a microscope before implantation. It leaves a linear scar at the donor site (typically covered by surrounding hair) but tends to deliver a higher graft survival rate, which matters more in cases needing a very large number of grafts in one sitting.
DMC-Golden Touch® is Dadu Medical Centre's own refinement layered on top of these techniques it emphasises the aesthetic side of the procedure as much as the technical one, since a technically sound transplant can still look unnatural if the hairline design and implantation angle aren't handled with real precision. This is where surgeon experience tends to matter most: getting graft placement direction and density distribution right is what separates a "transplant that looks like a transplant" from one that doesn't.
It's a very safe procedure overall, though like any surgical intervention it carries some risk of bleeding, infection, or scarring which is part of why choosing an experienced surgeon matters.
Avoid strenuous activity, alcohol, smoking, touching or scratching the grafts, heavy lifting, swimming, and direct sun exposure for at least a week.
It's best to wait at least 2 weeks before touching the transplanted grafts, to give them time to properly settle.
Yes this is normal. Transplanted hair typically sheds within the first 2 weeks, then regrows over the following months as the follicles establish themselves in their new location.
Costs range from ₹50,000 to ₹1,50,000 depending on graft count, technique, and the surgeon's experience confirmed exactly during consultation.
Look for someone trained and experienced specifically in hair transplantation ideally with an aesthetic eye as well as surgical skill, since hairline design plays a big role in how natural the final result looks.
