Hair Transplant in India for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia

Timing Hair Transplant for FFA

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) causes permanent follicle loss due to scarring. Surgery is usually deferred until the disease has been inactive for a confirmed period, as active inflammation can limit graft survival. Stability is verified through examination and, where needed, scalp biopsy.

• Confirmed inactive FFA by a dermatologist.
• Hairline recession that can benefit from targeted restoration.
• Eyebrow loss that may be addressed with an eyebrow transplant.
• Scarred scalp areas that may suit scar hair restoration.

In selected cases, follicular unit extraction (FUE) can be combined with regenerative therapy to improve scalp condition before and after graft placement.

Regenerative and Supportive Therapies

Non-surgical treatments can support scalp health in FFA, especially before or after a transplant. Alloroots provides injectable PRF, growth factor concentrate (GFC), low-level laser therapy (LLLT), and microneedling. These are adapted to the individual’s disease status and goals.

• Injectable PRF, using platelet-rich fibrin to stimulate local repair.
• GFC therapy, using concentrated autologous growth factors.
• LLLT to encourage scalp circulation.
• Dermapen microneedling to aid topical penetration.

Photographic documentation is only shared with patient consent. Results vary by individual biology, disease control, and adherence to post-care.

Consultation and Planning

The process includes scalp imaging, dermoscopy, and review of past medical history. Disease activity and donor area suitability are assessed, and realistic outcomes discussed. Consultation can be done in-clinic or online, giving patients across India access to Dr. Sahoo’s guidance. Plans cover hairline design, graft count estimation, and coordination with any ongoing medical therapy for FFA.

Patients are encouraged to book early if stabilisation treatment is in progress, and to bring biopsy results or medication records to their first visit. Clinic hours are by appointment to allow adequate time for evaluation and patient questions.
