FAQ (add JSON-LD for rich-snippet)
Q. Which clinic is best for 100 % shaved-head-free transplant?
A. Ashu Skin Care (Cuttack) and HairFree & HairGrow both offer no-shave long-hair FUE; Radiance also has “partial” no-shave for smaller sessions.
Q. Will the transplanted hair fall again?
A. Donor hair is taken from permanent zone; it lasts lifetime. Continuing medical therapy (finasteride/minoxidil) protects existing native hairs.
Q. Can I claim insurance?
A. Hair transplant is cosmetic; standard policies don’t cover. CGHS/ESIS exception: HairFree & HairGrow and Medispa give bills acceptable under CGHS (accident or burn cases).
Q. How soon can I join office?
A. Desk job: next day. Helmet or cap permissible after day 7. Strenuous gym: 3 weeks.
