What is PRP?
PRP uses extra strength of Synthetic Growth Factors which increases PRP effects 5 times and additional use of Zinc and Biotin in this further enhance its effects on hair structure. Also less sessions are required in PRP than conventional PRP with a long gap in between.
You need to do a full blood test and provide the doctor with the test results and your medical history. A week before the surgery, the patient should stop using blood thinner pills, vitamins, aspirin, antidepressants and herbal pills. Alcohol and smoking should be avoided a week before and after the surgery. Lastly have a positive mind and realistic expectations!

Are you a suitable candidate for Hair Transplant?
There are various factors that can determine the eligibility of a hair transplant. Age is a very important factor for AGA patients; its always advisable for a patient to wait for their hair loss to stabilize before they have a hair transplant. Patients who are in their initial stages of hair loss about 18-25 are discouraged to have the hair transplant surgery.
The patients expectations also matter, many patients have this dream of regaining back thick youthful hair with a hair transplant; which in most cases is not possible. The amount and density of coverage depends on the size of the bald area vs the donor availability.
The cause of hair loss can also determine if you are a suitable candidate. Some forms of alopecia cannot be corrected by hair transplant. Medical history of the patient also plays a role in defining the eligibility of a patient; patients with bleeding problems, allergic reactions, keloid susceptibility should be well tested first to avoid complications in the surgery and healing. In general, AGA patients with healthy medical records and sufficient donor hair are good candidates of hair transplant.
How many grafts do you need?
This is a very common question raised by many patients. A graft is a naturally existing group of single hairs on one follicular unit (FU). A graft can contain 1 to 4 hairs. This is the main determinant of density of a person’s hair.
There are patients with an average of 3-4 hairs per FU who have thick dense hair, while other patients have only 2 hairs per FU who have thin sparse hair; an average estimate of hairs per FU for most people with average thickness is 2.7.
So depending on the size of the bald area and the available donor density and amount, we can estimate how many grafts are needed to bring out a sufficiently satisfactory result. In general Norwood 2-3 patients would need about 2000-2500 grafts, 3-4 patients need about 3000-3500 grafts and as the baldness advances, Norwood 5-6 patients would then need 2 sessions of a total of 4000-5000 grafts. This is just a rough estimate; you would need to go to a hair transplant specialist to get the exact estimation.
What is Scalp Micropigmentation??
Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) creates the appearance of a full head of hair by carefully and meticulously placing microdots of pigment amongst existing hair, replicating natural hair follicles.
When delivered by a skilled practitioner, SMP can restore receded hairlines, thicken remaining hair, camouflage hair transplant scars and create the look of close-cropped hair.
SMP is non-invasive, suitable for men and women, and, unlike other hair loss treatments, it’s affordable. But the best part is this procedure gives you immediate results with no downtime!
THE SMP – HAIR LOSS TREATMENT FOR MEN?
SMP (Scalp Micropigmentation) is a highly detailed process that creates an incredibly natural looking simulation of micro hairs. Our sophisticated scalp application is administered to the head, usually over 2-3 sessions spaced about a week apart, to create what many are now calling the ultimate modern solution for hair loss. For sufferers of regular hair loss or alopecia, SMP offers an effective cosmetic hair loss solution. Competent application of the SMP technique results in the appearance of a cropped hairstyle, regardless of your hair loss situation. Even clients who are completely bald can have a natural looking hairstyle again. The SMP technique involves no surgery, no scarring and no hair pieces. Very little ongoing maintenance is required, although many of our clients do return to our clinic from time to time following treatment to adapt their new style. Our consultations and treatments are backed by our unrivalled knowledge and experience of the Scalp Micropigmentation. process, and our world-leading client aftercare and support program.
Despite their world-class quality, FUE surgeries at Hairage Clinic are attractively priced compared to other countries. That’s of course because the cost of living in Pakistan is 60% cheaper than in London or New York City, but also because Dr Zahid Iqbal loves what he does and wants as many people as possible to benefit from his high-quality surgeries.What about low-cost clinics?
While Hairage Clinic can make you benefit from a much lower cost than most renowned clinics in the world, it is certainly not a low-cost clinic. Before considering FUE surgery, you should ask yourself what is the most important: getting great results, or saving money? If your answer is money; we suggest that you avoid hair transplant altogether.
Some clinics quote a very low fixed price for unlimited amount of grafts. While it can be initially attractive from a purely financial standpoint, is it really a good choice? Let’s look at the 6 most important points to consider.
Does the surgeon have an extensive experience of FUE surgery?
FUE surgery requires expert skills and while any doctor can learn how to do it, they must practice for years under the guidance of an experienced specialist. Doctors working in ultra-low cost clinics may or may not have the required background and may even have no specialization at all.
Is the surgeon a qualified hair transplant surgeon?
A good analysis of the scalp properties and donor area health is required, something which can only be adequately performed by a specialist. Other medical doctors may or may not have the extensive knowledge and experience required.
Is the surgery performed by the surgeon himself?
FUE surgery is a time-consuming procedure and doctors need to put in long hours themselves. In most ultra-low cost clinics, several surgeries are done at the same time, and medical doctors are only checking patients for a few minutes, then leave the assistants to do the work.
Do they perform natural pattern grafting?
During the procedure, the distribution of grafts is extremely important. Ultra-low cost clinics perform the same distribution and implantation angles on everyone, resulting in linear patterns which look totally unnatural -you hairdresser will be too polite to tell you- poor graft survival rate and possible complications after surgery.
Do they give you all the information you need?
Hair Transplant Surgery requires an understanding of the patient’s desires as well as the ability to give advice on what can be realistically achieved depending on each case. A good FUE surgeon is not selling dreams, but should instead transform them into reality and explain what is possible.
Do they optimize graft survival?
How the grafts are handled after they have been harvested is extremely important. Depending on the way they are handled, the survival rate can be divided by 2! What matters is actually not how many grafts you get, but how many remain alive after the procedure.
How many days do you need to stay in Pakistan for the procedure?
The patient should arrive 1 day before the surgery for a comprehensive consultation session. The surgery happens the next day and takes a full day 8-10 hours from 08:00 to about 18:00. You cannot travel back the same day after the surgery; you need to have a post op consultation with the doctor the following day after surgery. In this session the doctor checks up the healing process of the patient, the nurses do the washing and afterwards, the doctor gives you detailed post op care instructions. You are free to travel back afterwards. Therefore, you need a total of at least 4 days; travel dates included.
