What Is a Scalp Hair Transplant?

A scalp hair transplant moves follicles from a stable donor zone, usually the back of the head, to areas on top that have thinned. On our site it sits under female services because most of these patients are women with diffuse thinning. Men with thinning on top can also have it.

Female thinning rarely leaves a smooth bald patch. It spreads along the part and over the crown while many native hairs remain. That changes the surgery. Grafts are mostly single and double hair units, and they are set between existing hairs without harming them. The goal is more density and less visible scalp, not a new hairline shape. For women with diffuse thinning, this is often the most useful form of hair loss treatment in Lahore once medicines alone stop helping.

Scalp Hair Transplant Candidates

• Widening centre part: early to moderate female pattern thinning (Ludwig I to III).
• Stable thinning: hair loss that has slowed, with thyroid, iron or hormone causes checked first.
• A usable donor zone: enough density at the back of the head to supply grafts without leaving a gap.
• Scar or traction patches: areas thinned by tight hairstyles or old scalp injuries.
• Clear expectations: you want thicker coverage and know native hair may still need medical support.

Scalp Hair Transplant Techniques in Lahore

Scalp Hair Transplant Procedure

1. Thinning assessment: Dr. Aneel maps where density is low, checks donor quality and reviews any blood tests.
2. Technique choice: FUE or FUT is chosen based on your graft need and how you wear your hair.
3. Local anaesthesia: the donor and thinning areas are numbed. You stay awake and comfortable.
4. Graft harvesting: the doctor takes grafts from the donor zone and they are sorted into fine units.
5. Placement between native hairs: sites are opened at the angle of your existing hair so current follicles are protected.
6. Aftercare plan: you leave the same day with medicines and advice on washing and styling.

Scalp Hair Transplant Recovery Timeline

Day 1 – 3	Tightness and mild swelling. Your longer hair can often cover the area.
Day 5 – 10	Small crusts lift with gentle washing. Many women return to work.
Week 2 – 8	Transplanted hairs shed, and some nearby native hairs may shed too.
Month 3 – 5	Shed native hair returns and new grafts begin to grow.
Month 6 – 9	The part looks narrower and less scalp shows under light.
Month 12 – 18	Full density and texture are reached.

Temporary shedding of nearby hair is common in women and usually recovers. See our post-op instructions for care steps.

Do I have to shave my head?

Most women prefer to keep their length. We discuss partial or no-shave options at consultation, as they depend on your technique and graft count.

Is a scalp hair transplant suitable for diffuse thinning?

It can be, if the donor area is stable and dense enough. If the back of the head is also thinning, we may suggest medical treatment first.

Will my existing hair be damaged?

Sites are opened at the angle of your current hair to protect it. Some temporary shedding can happen, and it usually grows back.

Can men have a scalp hair transplant?

Yes. It treats thinning on top of the head in both men and women. Men with a receding hairline may also look at our FUE hair transplant page.

Should I combine it with PRP?

Many women do. PRP costs PKR 8,000 to 20,000 per session and may help support the native hair around the grafts.
