Neoplatinum Hair Transplant

The Legacy of Dr. Nav Vikram in Hair Transplant Evolution

Dr Nav Vikram started to write the story of modern hair transplantation in Chandigarh. He started his hair transplant journey when he inaugurated his pioneering clinic in Chandigarh’s Sector 10, an iconic location opposite Hotel Mount View.

Phase of Experimentation and Learning: Early days of Dr. Nav Vikram were dedicated to his practice of the FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) technique. Those were the days when hair transplantation used to be not so widely accepted socially. Patient were hesitant to talk about and seek surgical remedies for their receding hairlines. There were few flaws with fut hair transplant. There were surgical stitches in donor area, these stitches were to be removed around 12-15th days. Nri clients were not comfortable with such a long stay. Second there was a bog scar on back of head. This scar was clearly visible after a hair cut. Some cases reported continuous loss of senstaion and numbness below and above the scar. Due to these factors Dr nav vikram shifted to fue hair transplant in 2012. 

It was the year 2012, the paradigm shift was evident. The broader public started seeing the tangible benefits of hair transplantation. The global NRI community, always on the lookout for quality medical procedures, began considering India, and particularly Dr. Nav Vikram’s clinic, as their preferred destination.

AFter 2012 Neograft hair clinic was exclusively doing fue hair transplant. But still 100 percent satisfaction wasnot there. although client feedback was good and people were happy but Dr nav Vikram was not satisfied. Reason being low density in some cases and some unnatural gaps in hair line. Than he started searching for possible flaws.  Major culprit that turned up was extraction equipment. Traditional dental motor was used for extraction. During extraction only , there was damage of upto 15-20 percent at graft level. Second culprit was holding material , in which garfts were placed outside body. Third was method of slitting or space creation on bald donor area. 

Collaborative Breakthroughs: Instead of accepting these limitations, Dr. Nav Vikram turned to collaborative scientific inquiry. With insights from colleagues from PGI Rohtak’s histology department, he identified that traditional extraction methods were particularly detrimental for patients with thinner follicular units, leading to graft losses of up to 20 %

In collaboration with experts from friends who were at IIT,  Dr. Nav Vikram heralded the age of nano motors in hair transplantation. These were not just smaller but also significantly more precise than the previous dental motors. The introduction of the “trumpet punch” further minimized the trauma during extraction, ensuring better graft survival. This innovation-led approach was named as “Neo Platinum FUE” technique, setting new industry standards.
