Hair loss is something many men and women silently struggle with, but I decided to stop hiding under hats and do something permanent about it. After months of research, I chose JJ Aesthetics in Islamabad for my hair transplant, and this is my honest experience—from consultation to recovery.

If you're considering a hair transplant in Islamabad, especially at JJ Aesthetics, this real-life account might answer the questions you’ve been asking.

Why I Chose JJ Aesthetics in Islamabad

Like most people, I started losing hair gradually in my late 20s. By my early 30s, the front hairline had thinned considerably, and there was noticeable balding at the crown. I looked into clinics in Lahore, Karachi, and even Turkey, but I kept coming back to JJ Aesthetics—a well-reviewed hair transplant clinic in Islamabad led by Dr. Jawad Jahangir, an ABHRS-certified surgeon.

Their website looked professional, with real patient results and in-depth information on FUE, DHI, and PRP treatments. Plus, JJ Aesthetics had a branch just 20 minutes from my home in G-8/4 Islamabad.

The Consultation – Transparent and Personalized

The first consultation was free and surprisingly detailed. Dr. Jawad and his team examined my scalp using digital trichoscopy, assessed my donor area, and explained my options. They recommended FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) because I wanted minimal downtime and a natural look.

I appreciated that they didn’t push for expensive procedures. Everything was clearly explained—number of grafts (~3,000), estimated cost (around PKR 150,000), and realistic expectations. No false promises. That transparency gave me the confidence to proceed.

The Day of the Hair Transplant

My hair transplant at JJ Aesthetics Islamabad was scheduled for a Friday, giving me the weekend to rest. The procedure started at 9 AM and lasted about 8 hours with breaks. Here’s how it went:

1. Preparation: My scalp was shaved, sterilized, and marked for the new hairline. Local anesthesia was administered (slightly uncomfortable, but not painful).

2. Extraction Phase: Using a micro punch tool, the team extracted individual follicles from the back of my scalp (donor area). I lay face-down for about 2 hours.

3. Implantation Phase: After lunch, the grafts were implanted one by one into the frontal and crown regions. Dr. Jawad personally oversaw the hairline design, which made a big difference.

The staff was professional, attentive, and even offered tea and snacks during breaks.

Post-Op Recovery – Faster Than Expected

I left the clinic the same evening with a post-op kit, including painkillers, antibiotics, and a saline spray. Here’s how the recovery went:

• Day 1–3: Mild swelling and redness. I had to sleep on my back with my head elevated. JJ Aesthetics scheduled my first hair wash on Day 3, which they performed in the clinic.

• Week 1: Scabs formed around the grafts, but there was no pain. I avoided direct sunlight and heavy workouts.

• Weeks 2–3: Some of the transplanted hair shed—a normal part of the hair growth cycle known as "shock loss."

• Months 1–3: The donor area healed completely, and new baby hairs started appearing.

• Month 6 onwards: Visible, thicker hair growth. My friends and colleagues began noticing the change.

By Month 9, my hair looked fuller, especially the hairline—natural, dense, and undetectable.

Total Cost of the Procedure

My FUE transplant cost PKR 150,000 for 3,000 grafts. JJ Aesthetics also offered PRP sessions (PKR 10,000 each) to speed up growth, which I opted for monthly during the first 3 months.

While not the cheapest in Islamabad, the value and professionalism made it well worth the cost. Other clinics quoted lower prices, but I wasn’t confident in their hygiene or transparency.
