Patient Background
Manith Lakmal Perera, a 34-year-old businessman from Sri Lanka, had been struggling with progressive hair loss for the past five to six years. Despite trying various hair care products, supplements, and treatments, he found that nothing provided a long-term solution to his receding hairline and thinning hair.
As someone who valued a well-groomed appearance, Manith wanted a permanent fix that looked completely natural. His search led him to IFT Hair Science in Jaipur, a clinic well-known for its Interlocking Follicular Transplantation (IFT) technique.
“I started researching hair transplant procedures online and came across IFT Hair Science on YouTube. The before-and-after results looked incredible, and I was surprised at how natural the hairlines looked. I wanted a transplant that wouldn’t look fake or obvious, and after reading reviews, I felt confident that IFT Hair Science was the right choice.”
Symptoms
- Receding hairline, especially in the frontal region
- Thinning hair on the crown and temples
- Decreased hair density, making the scalp more visible
- Gradual hair loss over the past five to six years
Diagnostic Method
Upon arriving at IFT Hair Science in Jaipur, Manith underwent a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Vikash, the clinic’s leading hair transplant expert. The diagnostic process included:
✔ Scalp analysis to assess donor and recipient areas
✔ Hair density evaluation to determine transplant feasibility
✔ Facial structure assessment for a customized hairline design
✔ Discussion of expectations and long-term hair growth projections
“The consultation with Dr. Vikash was extremely detailed. He examined my hair carefully, explained what was happening, and walked me through what kind of results I could expect. He even showed me a preview of how my new hairline would look, which was amazing! After that, I was 100% sure I wanted to go ahead with the transplant.”
Disease Diagnosed
Dr. Vikash diagnosed Manith with Androgenetic Alopecia (Male Pattern Baldness), a genetic condition that causes hair thinning and baldness over time. This condition is progressive and, if left untreated, would have led to further hair loss in the coming years.
Treatment Plan and Post-Surgery (Post-Treatment) Guidelines
Treatment Plan
Based on Manith’s hair loss pattern and desired results, Dr. Vikash recommended a hair transplant using the IFT (Interlocking Follicular Transplantation) technique. The procedure included:
🔹 Extraction of 2,800 grafts from the donor area (back of the scalp)
🔹 Precision implantation using the IFT technique to ensure high-density, natural-looking results
🔹 Customized hairline design to match his facial structure and age
🔹 Minimally invasive procedure, ensuring no visible scars or discomfort
“On the day of the surgery, I was feeling excited but also a little nervous. However, from the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel at ease. The procedure itself was totally painless, and I was awake the entire time. The clinic was highly professional, and everything was done with great precision and care.”
Post-Surgery Guidelines
After the procedure, IFT Hair Science provided Manith with a detailed post-care plan to ensure smooth recovery and optimal hair growth:
✅ Avoid touching or scratching the transplanted area for the first few days
✅ Use prescribed medications and antibiotics to prevent infection and support healing
✅ Refrain from strenuous activities and sweating for at least one week
✅ Attend follow-up visits for progress monitoring and post-operative care
✅ Regular PRP therapy sessions to strengthen hair follicles and accelerate growth
“The recovery process was much easier than I expected. I didn’t have any major discomfort, and there was no swelling or pain. The clinic gave me a step-by-step guide on how to take care of my scalp, and I followed it exactly. Everything healed quickly, and within a few weeks, I could see tiny new hairs growing!”
Outcome
By five months post-surgery, Manith began noticing visible improvements in his hairline and overall hair thickness. His previously receding hairline was now fully restored, and his crown had started filling in naturally.
“It has been five months, and I can already see a huge difference. My hairline is back, and the results look completely natural. Even my family and friends back home in Sri Lanka were shocked at how good it looks! They told me they wouldn’t have believed I had a transplant if I hadn’t told them.”
The IFT technique ensured even graft distribution, eliminating the risk of an unnatural or “plugged” look. The transplanted hair blended seamlessly with his natural hair, making it impossible to distinguish the difference.
Long-Term Expectation
Over the next 12-18 months, Manith’s hair will continue to grow, thicken, and blend in even more naturally. Since the transplanted hair is permanent, it will not fall out, and with proper scalp care and PRP treatments, the results will last for a lifetime.
“Dr. Vikash explained that my hair will continue to improve over time. I’m already so happy with the results at five months, so I can only imagine how good it will look after a year! This hair transplant has truly given me back my confidence and self-image.”
Patient Feedback
*”I cannot thank IFT Hair Science enough for this experience! From the moment I arrived in India, they made everything so easy. They took care of my airport pickup, my stay in Jaipur, and all my appointments, so I didn’t have to worry about anything.
The clinic itself was modern, well-equipped, and very professional. The doctors and staff were incredibly skilled, and the results speak for themselves. I would highly recommend IFT Hair Science to anyone considering a hair transplant in India, whether you’re coming from Sri Lanka, the Middle East, or anywhere else. It is worth every penny!“*
