As hair loss becomes an increasingly common concern among men and women, the demand for effective and lasting Hair Transplant in Mumbai solutions has risen sharply. To understand the science, safety, and success behind this evolving field of Hair Transplant in Mumbai, I met Dr. Deepam Shah, a highly respected Dermatologist and Hair Transplant Specialist in Mumbai, at his clinic — Viva Aesthetic Clinic, located in Andheri. Known for his precision, artistry, and patient-centered approach, Dr. Shah has earned recognition for offering advanced, minimally invasive procedures that deliver natural results with long-term satisfaction.
Dr. Deepam Shah is an experienced dermatologist and trichologist with a keen interest in aesthetic dermatology and surgical hair restoration. A graduate from the prestigious Lokmanya Tilak Municipal Medical College (Sion, Mumbai), he went on to complete his MD in Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprosy. He has undergone specialized training in Hair Transplantation from leading international academies, ensuring his practice stays aligned with the most updated global standards.
At Viva Aesthetic Clinic, Dr. Shah and his team focus on advanced hair transplant techniques such as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Direct Hair Implantation (DHI). The clinic’s setup is modern, hygienic, and patient-friendly — equipped with state-of-the-art instruments, magnification systems, and a dedicated sterilization protocol that minimizes risk and maximizes results.
A hair transplant involves the relocation of healthy hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp) to a thinning or balding area. Dr. Shah explains that the FUE method has become the preferred choice because it leaves minimal scarring and offers faster recovery.
During our discussion, Dr. Shah highlighted that success depends not only on the number of grafts transplanted but also on their survival rate, direction, and density — all of which demand surgical skill and an artistic eye. “It’s not just about placing grafts,” he said, “it’s about recreating a natural hairline that complements a person’s face and age.”
Doctors like Dr. Rajesh Rajputi and Dr. Madan Mohan are also recognized for their pioneering work in advanced hair restoration techniques. Dr. John P. Cole and Dr. Koray Erdogan has made remarkable contributions to refining FUE and DHI methods, attracting patients from around the world for their expertise.
Dr. Shah emphasizes that while international clinics offer cutting-edge options, India’s growing infrastructure and medical standards now provide comparable quality at a fraction of the cost.
