What to Expect in a Hair-Transplant Course at KAAM

A hair transplant is a method of treating thinning of hair or balding. Approximately 85% of men and 40% of women suffer from hair loss. A hair transplant is a minimally invasive procedure that helps conceal bald spots by transplanting hair from the thicker parts of the scalp or other body parts. Different types of hair transplant surgeries include FUT (Follicular unit transplant) and FUE (Follicular unit extraction). FUE is most preferred nowadays due to its advantages over FUT.

Hair loss is a common problem, and hair transplantation procedures are gaining popularity worldwide. The demand for hair restoration/ transplantation procedures have been on the rise in recent years due to advancements in medical technology and science. This has led to the hair transplantation procedure being less -invasive, less painful and safe as it has become an outpatient procedure. Hair transplantation is no longer a surgery; it is more like an outpatient procedure. Hair transplantation procedures are in demand not only by men but women are also seen opting for hair restoration procedures.

Unfortunately, hair transplant, as a procedure, has never made it to the curriculum of medical schools; hence doctors are not well-versed in it even after completing their post-graduation and specialisation in dermatology- this can be attributed mainly to the scanty resources and unavailability of experienced and skilled surgeons to train the students. Due to the lack of expertise, only a few institutes train doctors in hair transplantation techniques.

At KAAM), we have expert hair transplant surgeons who teach and guide the students on the methodology of different hair transplant techniques and provide them with hands-on training on real patients.
