Why Add Hair Transplant Surgery to Your Practice?

Hair loss affects millions across India and the demand for surgical restoration continues to outpace the number of trained specialists. For dermatologists, hair transplant is one of the most natural and high-value skills to add to an existing practice.

High & Growing Demand

Hair loss affects millions in India and patient demand for surgical restoration is outpacing the supply of trained specialists.

Significant Revenue Potential

A single FUE session commands INR 60,000 to 1,50,000+, making it one of the highest-value additions to any aesthetic practice.

Builds on Your Existing Skills

As a dermatologist, you already understand skin, anatomy, and wound healing, making hair transplant a natural extension.

Set Up Your Own Clinic

Our training includes a complete equipment list and post-training support to help you launch your own hair transplant service confidently.

What Doctors Say After Our Training?

I travelled from Nepal specifically to train at AK Clinics and it was absolutely worth it. The 12-month fellowship gave me comprehensive exposure to FUE surgery, patient counselling, cosmetology, and non-surgical procedures — all under one roof. Dr. Kapil Dua and Dr. Aman Dua are genuinely invested in each trainee's growth. I returned to Nepal with the skills and confidence to offer hair transplant services to my patients for the first time.

Dr. Saujan Subedi

Joining the 12-month fellowship at AK Clinics was the best decision I made for my career. Coming from Arunachal Pradesh, where access to advanced surgical training is limited, the live FUE exposure and hands-on learning under Dr. Kapil Dua gave me a level of confidence I simply could not have gained anywhere closer to home. I returned with the skills and the roadmap to build something meaningful for my patients.

Dr. Mukta Sharma

Even being based in Delhi, I had not found a hair transplant training program that offered real surgical depth — until AK Clinics. The 12-month fellowship is genuinely hands-on from day one. Dr. Kapil Dua's attention to technique, hairline design, and patient outcomes is exceptional. I now perform FUE cases independently and the post-training support made that transition far smoother.
