Arogyam Hair Transplant Clinic is situated in Guwahati, Assam, in Rukminigaon. It is a part of Downtown Hospital, Guwahati and all procedures are done in the main OT of Downtown hospital, Guwahati

Dr. P. J. Mazumdar, MS, FICS, Diplomate ABHRS is the hair transplant doctor of Arogyam Hair Transplant clinic. All consultation and procedures are done by Dr. P. J. Mazumdar, Hair Transplant specialist. He is the only US Board Certified hair transplant doctor in the North East.

At Arogyam, the most modern hair transplant method, Blunt Motorised Blunt FUE, is used, in combination with other techniques used in direct implantation like Choi implanters, modern hairline, minimal out-of-body time, etc.. This minimises hair injury thus allowing the healthiest and best growth of hair. This method was first introduced in 2006 by Dr. Sam Harris, the founder of modern FUE. Dr. P. J. Mazumdar trained under Dr. Sam Harris in 2016.

Cost is of course always an important consideration in cosmetic procedures.

Cost in Hair Transplant depends on the number of grafts to be done. The number of grafts needed in turn depends on the area that is empty and also on the desire of the patient. Patients having larger bald areas will require more grafts. Also the patient’s desires like how much density he wants and the area he wants to cover all affect the price. Some centers nowadays quote a lump sum to patients or quote price in terms of square centimetres but this is not fully honest as the patient then does not know exactly what he or she is going to get. Also, quoting price in terms of hairs rather than grafts and offering discounts are other ways of confusing the patient. Although some centers nowadays quote a lump sum to the patient or in terms of square centimetres or in hairs instead of grafts, in all reputed AHRS accredited clinics cost is calculated in terms of grafts which ensures total honesty and transparency.

At Arogyam Hair Transplant Center we are committed to offering a straightforward honest appraisal for costs and also to keeping the costs at the lowest possible rate for the people of the Northeast.

Hair transplant is in general very safe procedure. Hair remains in the skin itself, and so the only thing that is dealt with in the procedure is the top layer of the skin. There is therefore little risk involved at all in any part of the procedure.

The main risks are: infection, allergic reaction to the medicines, hypotension and uneven results. All these risks can generally be avoided safely if done in a proper OT setting and hence it is important to check the status of the clinic before doing a procedure.

The FUE method is  safer than the strip method. In the strip method, a strip of skin is cut out and the edges have to be sutured. Though even this method is very safe, yet there is slight risk of excessive bleeding, wound infection, nerve injury leading to long term pain, etc. In FUE, even these risks are minimized. A specialized small drill is used to remove the hair and special implanters are used to plant it back in the new site – risks involved in this procedure are relatively small.

The number of hairs that are needed by an individual patient will vary widely. This can be assessed only after seeing and examining the patient. Most early stage bald patients will have a 1000 to 2000 graft transplant, while those in the middle stages of balding may do 2000 to 4000 grafts. Later stage baldness requires more than 4500 grafts including beard and chest hair donation.

Pain is minimal in FUE hair transplant.

The whole procedure is done under Local Anesthetic. Pain during procedure is quite bearable as HT has been done in our clinic on a patient as young as 14 years (a burn case) and upto 76 years old. Postoperatively also, FUE causes much less pain than the earlier strip method and this pain is easily controlled by analgesics which have to be taken for about three days. In strip method, since there is an incision and there is also a stitch, pain is much more severe in the post operative period. Analgesics have to be taken for a longer time in the strip method.

The latest technology of needleless injectors has been introduced in Arogyam for further pain control, this is a first in the North East. Pain is further minimized with this technique where the injector does not have a needle.

No, it will not. That is the point of using hair from the safe zone. The hair in this safe or permanent zone are genetically programmed to last throughout your life. (Look up here to see what the safe zone is.) Hence when this permanent hair is transplanted to the bald zone, it will grow there throughout your life, you can expect this hair to remain there till your death!

Yes, the donor zone will have reduced density of hairs. But hair from here is taken in such a way that the reduced density is not appreciable. The safe zone has a thick density of hair. Only around one out of eight hairs is taken. This loss of density is not visible and after the procedure, no one will be able to make out that you have reduced hair in this part. Besides, since it is at the back of the head, the hairs growing down from the top cover up this area anyway.
