Expertise
Advanced FUE Hair Transplant
Dr. Malhotra is a specialist in Advanced FUE, a minimally invasive technique where individual hair follicles are extracted and implanted using precision implanters. This approach ensures 100% natural results with maximum density, minimal trauma, and fast recovery, often allowing patients to resume daily activities the next day. Unlike many clinics, every procedure is performed by Dr. Malhotra herself, not by technicians.
Instant Follicular Hair Unit Transplant (IFHUT)
A unique technique exclusive to her clinic, IFHUT involves extracting and immediately implanting grafts using implanters, keeping them out of the body for just a few seconds. This maximizes graft survival and ensures dense, natural results, with the implantation done personally by Dr. Malhotra.
