About Hair Transplant Surgery
I see hair transplant surgery as an art, not just a medical job. My goal is always to make sure your new hair looks so natural that people just think, "Wah, kya baal hai!" (Wow, what hair!). No one should be able to tell you’ve had anything done.
How I Work
- Hairline design is everything. I never do those straight, fake-looking lines. Instead, I use a zigzag pattern and mix in single hair follicles, just like your natural hairline.
- I focus on the right density, not just packing in as many hairs as possible. It’s about what suits your face and age.
- Your donor area is precious. I’m careful not to over-harvest, so you don’t end up with patchy spots at the back.
My Main Method: FUE
I mostly use the FUE hair restoration technique, especially Sapphire FUE. The sapphire blades let me make finer cuts, which means less pain and faster healing for you.
Handling Tough Cases
- If you’ve had a bad transplant before, I do hairline correction surgery to fix pluggy or unnatural results.
- For those with less donor hair, I can use beard hair for a beard hair transplant option. Scarring is minimal, and it gives more coverage.
Synthetic Hair: The Real Story
- Synthetic hair implant pros and cons? It’s instant, but it doesn’t grow and needs regular touch-ups. It’s high maintenance and costs more, but for some, it’s the only option.
What Happens After
- First week: Healing starts.
- 7 months: You’ll see real growth.
- 12-24 months: Full, mature results.
I’ll be there with you through every step, but patience is key. Good things take time, yaar.

My Story
Hey, I’m Dr. Malay Mehta. Dermatologist, hair transplant surgeon, but honestly, I just want folks to feel good about themselves. That feeling when someone walks out with confidence - pure Ānanda. I’m obsessed with making things look real, like ‘Hair Transplant aisa karo ke 4 log bole “Bhagwan ne kya mast Baal diye hai”’ (Do a hair transplant so good, people say ‘God gave amazing hair’). My team - feels like family, and my actual family keeps me sane. My work? It’s my sādhanam, my daily grind, chasing harmony, step by step.
My Work
Dermatology & Hair Restoration - I do Sapphire FUE hair transplant, beard extraction, corrective work, synthetic hair implantation, and treat hair loss like Alopecia Areata.
Natural Results, Always - Obsessed with natural hairline restoration, never overdone fillers. Subtle, real, undetectable is the vibe.
Straight Talk - I’ll always explain pros and cons, like yearly fallout in synthetic hair implantation or what’s still unknown about new treatments.
It’s a Team Thing - Not just me - my #teamMM, we’re tight. Patients come from all over, and we make sure each one gets honest care.
