Hair loss is already stressful enough. Add to that half-baked advice from friends, scary Google searches, and dramatic YouTube videos—and suddenly, the idea of a hair transplant feels confusing, risky, and overwhelming.
So what’s the truth?
The reality is, most fears around hair transplants come from myths. People believe stories based on outdated information. They hear bad experiences from poorly done procedures and think them to be the forever truth. But the reality of the treatment is slightly different, and better. When done correctly, by an experienced doctor, a hair hair transplant is one of the most reliable and natural solutions for permanent hair loss.
Let’s bust the most common myths - one by one - with facts that actually make sense.
This is probably the biggest and most damaging myth.
The truth?
Modern hair transplants look incredibly natural.
The fake-looking transplants people remember are from decades ago, when large “plug” grafts were used. Today, techniques like FUE involve implanting tiny follicular units, placed carefully at the correct angle, depth, and direction.
When the hairline is designed properly, the result blends so well that even your barber won’t know you had a transplant—unless you tell them.
Let’s clear this up, it’s not.
Hair transplants are done under local anesthesia. You’re awake, comfortable, and relaxed throughout the procedure. Most patients say the surgery itself is surprisingly easy.
You might feel:
This myth scares people the most, and for good reason.
Here’s the fact:
Transplanted hair is permanent.
The follicles are taken from the donor area (usually the back of the head), which is genetically resistant to hair fall. Once transplanted, they retain this resistance.
Yes, the transplanted hair sheds initially, but that’s part of the natural growth cycle. The root stays intact and grows new hair over time.
So no, your transplanted hair does not fall out permanently.
Absolutely false.
Hair transplants are equally effective for women who suffer from:
In fact, women often experience dramatic improvement because the transplant restores volume and framing around the face.
The key is however, only proper diagnosis and planning.
If only it worked that way.
Hair transplants require patience. Hair grows in cycles, and transplanted follicles follow the same biological timeline.
Typical timeline:
So if someone promises “instant hair,” or says that you will get solid new hair immediately...that’s a red flag—not a benefit.
When performed by a qualified, experienced doctor, hair transplants are extremely safe.
It’s a minimally invasive procedure:
Complications usually arise only when the procedure is done in poorly equipped clinics or by untrained hands.
Safety always depends on who is doing the procedure.
This is a dangerous misconception.
A hair transplant is not just about placing grafts—it involves:
That’s why it should always be performed by a trained dermatologist or hair transplant surgeon, not technicians alone.
Let’s be honest—hair transplants are not cheap.
But they’re also not as expensive as people think.
Most people spend years investing in:
All of which require ongoing spending.
A hair transplant is a one-time investment with permanent results. When you see it from a long-term perspective, it often turns out to be more economical.
Once your transplanted hair grows fully, you can:
There are no restrictions once the healing phase is complete.
Most myths about hair transplants don’t exist because the procedure fails—they exist because the procedure is done incorrectly.
This is where choosing the right clinic becomes critical.
At Chandra Clinic, under the expert care of Dr. Urvashi Chandra, patients receive:
Dr. Urvashi Chandra works differently. She is of the opinion that hair transplant should be recommended only when it’s truly needed. If medicines or therapies can help, those options are explored first. This ethical approach builds trust. And when treatment is based on trust, it always leads to better outcomes.
Patients often say the experience feels reassuring, transparent, and surprisingly comfortable. There’s no pressure—only clarity.
Hair transplants have come a long way. What once seemed risky, painful, or artificial is now a safe, predictable, and life-changing solution. But the core remains the same, the best results come when done by the right hair transplant doctor.
The biggest mistake people make is believing myths instead of facts.
If hair loss has been affecting your confidence, don’t let outdated stories stop you from exploring a solution that genuinely works.
Educate yourself. Ask the right questions. Choose an experienced doctor.
And if you’re looking for a place that combines medical expertise with honesty, care, and natural results, Chandra Clinic is a name you can trust.
Because when it comes to your hair, you deserve facts—not fear.
