The expanding magnetism of the
celebrities, growing stress on the physical appearance, social pressures, as
well as greater levels of aesthetic sense is enabling India to grow as a global
hub for hair transplant surgery.
In metros like Bangalore, Hyderabad,
Chennai, Delhi, and others, the clients of hair transplant is increasing at a
CAGR of 25-30%. The latest survey shows that the most of these clients belong
to the age group of 25-30 years when these youths are eager to tie the wedding
knot. But, the arising question is- ‘How far the process is safe in India?’ As
the technique is a bit complex, it calls for some after care measures for 4
weeks max.
However, with the emergence of
the FUE surgery method, the entire procedure turned into a stitch less one. As
a result, the client will not get any scars of stitches after the surgery has
been done. Although it always brings with it some side effects, but this fact
fails to dominate the market of hair transplant in India. In Frost and Sullivan, the programme manager,
Ankit Goyal said that the actual size of the market of the country’s hair
transplant was calculated in the financial year 2012-2013 to stand to Rs
453crore. Global clients visualise India as a promising market for restoring
hair through the surgical option.
Today, customers stress more on
‘quality’ as compared to ‘price’, efficient players, with latest procedures and
consistent systems, are trying their best to meet the growing preferences of
the customers.
In Indian society, issues related
to hair are very sensitive, especially for the women. The novelist Bharati
Mukherjee, in her novel, The Tiger’s Daughter, wrote- ‘hair and
deportment’ are ‘an Indian woman’s inner index.’ With the modernisation, the
suppressed concern of the females for their hair fall has gradually become an
expressed concern which has made them to go for hunting its solution.
Near about 10 years ago, the hair
transplant was not a viable option, but now it has become affordable and even
the middle class people are opting to it. In terms of the cost, it is much
lower than the Western powers. Hence, the Indian clinical cosmetology is
witnessing a great upsurge among the number of NRI clients. As it is the best
and safest solution till date, going for it really makes sense.
Although India is a talent-rich
country, yet it has many deceivers too. This is the only reason which is still
coming as a roadblock in the path of the rising Indian hair transplant market.
Finding the right clinic and getting the surgery done from an experienced
surgeon is a key factor in boosting the economic growth of the market.
Hair transplant is not like those
fancy traps which will give no result at the end. The state-of-the art procedure involved in it
let the Indian clients to regain their hair within minimum 9-12 months. However,
the procedure is costly, and hence the doctors generally advise the alopecia
patients to go for medicines. The strides and the advancement in the field of medical
science have made the surgery absolutely safe. There’s no need to say that this
‘hair growing experience’ has saved many Indian men and women to wear wigs and
from being a subject of others mockery. Its growth in the past five years has
proved that India is safe for hair transplant surgery.
