Dr. Sharma brings extensive clinical experience to surgical hair loss treatment, with training spanning multiple countries, including the United Kingdom, Italy, France, the United States, and Canada. His approach combines advanced surgical techniques with a detailed understanding of hair growth patterns, donor region anatomy, and treatment of various forms of hair loss, including male-pattern baldness and female-pattern baldness. Most importantly, it is his blend of artistic eye with surgical technique that has afforded him the trust and privilege of working with thousands of clients experiencing hair thinning and baldness from across the world.
His extensive expertise in facial aesthetics, spanning across Europe and North America, has made him well-versed in understanding facial harmony and how to frame the face, whether it be for beard transplants, moustache restoration, or eyebrow transplants. His comprehensive knowledge ensures that each procedure not only restores hair density but also enhances the patient’s natural features.
These photographs document actual results from surgical hair transplants performed by Dr. Sharma for patients experiencing various forms of hair loss, including receding hairlines, bald spots, and pattern baldness. Patient outcomes vary depending on individual factors, including scalp condition, donor hair density, healing response, and adherence to post-operative care instructions. Each case represents a unique surgical plan developed to address specific hair loss patterns.
The cases shown demonstrate procedures for treating male-pattern baldness and female-pattern baldness, with follow-up documentation ranging from 6 to 18 months post-surgery. Results reflect the natural progression of hair growth following transplantation that restores hair density.
All before-and-after photographs and testimonials featured are of real patients who received treatment from Dr. Sharma for various forms of hair loss. Individual outcomes vary based on hair characteristics, scalp condition, and healing factors.
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure in which hair follicles are removed from a donor area and transplanted to regions affected by progressive thinning, receding hairlines, or bald spots. Dr. Sharma performs both the strip method and the extraction method, selecting the most suitable approach based on the condition of the scalp, the availability of donor hair, the pattern of hair loss, and the long-term goals for hair density restoration. All grafts are meticulously extracted and placed by hand using surgical magnification.
The procedure relies on the principle of donor dominance, meaning that hair follicles taken from the back and sides of the scalp retain their genetic resistance to DHT even after being transplanted to areas affected by androgenetic alopecia, male-pattern baldness, or female-pattern baldness. This results in a permanent restoration of hair in areas of loss and an improvement in overall hair density.
At our Calgary clinic, all hair transplant procedures are physician-led and based on comprehensive medical evaluation. Dr. Sharma carefully determines the most appropriate surgical method, following a detailed assessment of your hair loss pattern, donor area stability, scalp condition, and long-term density goals.
This technique is a precise method for hair transplantation, though it is not considered minimally invasive. In FUE, individual hair follicular units are extracted using a 0.6 to 0.7 mm punch and transplanted into thinning areas or receding hairlines. This approach suits patients seeking shorter hairstyles, avoiding linear scars, or facing limited donor hair availability, as careful graft selection is necessary for optimal hair density.
The follicular unit extraction technique enables the selective harvesting of high-quality follicular units while preserving the surrounding donor hair. Each graft is individually assessed for viability before placement, ensuring optimal hair density. Patients can typically return to their normal activities within a few days, although exercise restrictions are in place during the initial healing period.
This involves removing a narrow strip of tissue from the donor zone and dissecting it under magnification to isolate individual follicular units for transplantation to areas affected by pattern baldness or extensive hair loss. This technique may yield more grafts in a single session and is often recommended in cases requiring high graft numbers to achieve significant improvements in hair density.
Closure is performed using the trichophytic technique to minimize scarring. The follicular unit transplantation method allows for harvesting of large numbers of grafts while preserving the overall donor area for potential future procedures addressing progressive hair loss.
Beard transplants restore hair density to patchy or scarred areas of the beard, jawline, or moustache using follicular units harvested from the scalp donor area. Dr. Sharma uses primarily single and double follicular units to match the natural direction and angle of beard growth. Each graft is placed individually under magnification with careful attention to emergence angle and growth direction.
Natural angulation is critically important in beard transplantation, as understanding how the grafts will exit and how they will sit determines the final aesthetic outcome.
Eyebrow transplants involve surgically implanting single-hair grafts into the brow region. This technique addresses issues such as thinning, overplucking, or scarring while creating optimal facial framing.
Not every patient experiencing hair loss is an ideal candidate for surgical hair restoration. A transplant evaluation includes a comprehensive review of your hair loss history, pattern baldness progression, donor supply assessment using trichoscopy, and detailed discussion of long-term hair density goals. Patients with active shedding, inflammatory scalp conditions, or limited donor density may not be eligible for surgery at the time of initial consultation.
Dr. Sharma evaluates each patient individually, considering not only the current state of hair loss but also the predicted progression of pattern baldness and available treatment options. Some patients may benefit from medical therapy to stabilize hair loss before surgical intervention.
If you are interested in this, please consult your family doctor to obtain a specialist referral first. For patients with underlying medical conditions or those under dermatological care, it is strongly recommended that they complete all medical treatment protocols prior to consulting with Dr. Sharma. Currently, we are unable to provide medical dermatology opinions at our hair transplant clinic.
“On the actual day of the surgery, I could not have asked for a better experience. All the staff are so knowledgeable, and work in unison like a well-oiled machine. They truly care about your experience and want to ensure that you are comfortable.”
Every surgical plan starts with a thorough medical consultation.
During the consultation, factors like donor density, scalp health, and hair loss patterns are assessed through trichoscopy and clinical examination. If you’re a suitable candidate for Follicular Unit Extraction or Follicular Unit Transplantation, Dr. Sharma will explain what to expect at each stage of the procedure, including healing phases and timelines for visible improvements.
