Mr. Karan Patil | 34 year-old, Male | Sales Manager

History

Karan first noticed mild hair shedding in his late 20s, which gradually progressed despite trying topical lotions and dietary changes. A family history of baldness was present on his father’s side, with similar patterns of hair loss in male relatives. He had no major medical conditions, did not smoke, and maintained a moderately active lifestyle. His past attempts included herbal oils and anti-hair fall shampoos, none of which provided lasting improvement.

Diagnosis

After a detailed scalp analysis and trichoscopy, Karan was diagnosed with Advanced Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenetic Alopecia), classified as Norwood Grade V. The assessment revealed significant thinning in the frontal and crown regions, while the donor area at the back of the scalp retained strong, healthy follicles suitable for transplantation. Blood investigations ruled out nutritional deficiencies or hormonal disorders, confirming that the hair loss was primarily hereditary in nature.

Treatment Plan

Karan was advised to undergo Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Hair Transplant. A total of 3,200 grafts were planned to restore the frontal hairline and crown density. The strategy included designing a natural hairline, ensuring proper graft distribution, and supplementing the transplant with oral medication and PRP sessions for better follicle survival.

Procedure

Under local anesthesia, individual follicular units were extracted from the donor area at the back of the scalp. Each graft was carefully implanted into the thinning frontal and crown regions, following the natural growth angle. The session lasted about 6 hours, with minimal discomfort reported.

Patient Feedback

I’m extremely satisfied with my results at Dermatrix. The team gave me not just hair but my confidence back. The procedure was smooth, recovery was easy, and the outcome looks completely natural.
