Nutrition & Hair Health: Helping Your Hair Transplant Thrive in Guwahati
Introduction
At Downtown Arogyam Hair Transplant Clinic in Guwahati, Dr. P.J. Mazumdar has been leading the field since performing the first FUE transplant in Northeast India in 2012 . A successful outcome depends not only on surgical expertise and safety—but also on proper post-transplant nutrition. Let’s explore how what you eat supports recovery and long-term hair growth.
1. Why Diet Matters for Transplant Success
A nutrient-rich diet is vital to support healing, tissue repair, and strengthening of transplanted follicles. Nutrients like protein, vitamins, and minerals contribute to faster recovery and reduce the risk of complications
2. What to Eat: Top Nutrients & Foods to Include
• Lean Proteins & Keratin Builders
Eggs, chicken, fish, yogurt, legumes, and lean meats provide essential protein for hair structure and repair
• Vitamins A, C, D & E
These support collagen formation, scalp health, and follicle function. Orange, mango, carrots, citrus fruits, broccoli, and olive oil are great sources
• Biotin, B-Vitamins & Folate
Biotin (B7), riboflavin (B2), folic acid (B9), and B12 help boost keratin production and cell division. Found in leafy greens, whole grains, dairy, and fruits
• Iron & Zinc
Key minerals for oxygen-rich blood flow and follicle repair. Include red meat (if non-vegetarian), lentils, nuts, seeds, spinach, and whole grains  .
• Omega-3 & Healthy Fats
Avocado, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and fatty fish (like salmon) help reduce inflammation and nourish scalp tissue  .
• Hydration
Water, herbal teas, coconut water, and nutrient-packed smoothies support scalp health and internal healing
3. What to Avoid for Better Outcomes
• Processed Food & Sugary Snacks
These can slow healing, increase inflammation, and weaken follicles
• Alcohol & Excess Caffeine
Alcohol may impair blood flow, while caffeine can increase bleeding risk and interfere with healing—best avoided in the early recovery phase  .
• Spicy, Salty & Sugary Foods
These may irritate the scalp, cause sweating, or dehydrate the body, potentially affecting graft survival  .
5. Arogyam Clinic’s Supportive Approach
With advanced tools like 6× Heine Loupes, Choi implanters, and a hospital-based setting ensuring safety , Arogyam Clinic pairs surgical excellence with guidance on post-op nutrition—helping your transplanted hair flourish.

Arogyam Hair Transplant Clinic takes several steps to ensure that quality is maintained for each and every patient. The key to quality maintenance is to implement quantizable quality standards and maintain proper documentation and review of processes. Downtown Hospital is an ISO 9001:2008 and NABH accredited hospital which demands strict adherence to quality control.Steps taken are:
Safety assurance: all procedures are done in the main OT of Downtown Hospital with its full complement of anesthesiologists and critical care specialists. Hence patients are assured of full safety standards at the same level as that of major surgeries including transplant surgeries.
Sterilization assurance: since procedures are done in the major OT full sterilization is maintained. Fumigation is done every week and swab tests are done to check for contamination.
Best instrumentation: Arogyam Hair Transplant Clinic uses the best available instruments like 6X Heine Loupe for precision and accuracy, Blunt Titanium punches which avoids damage and transection of the Follicular Units, Choi implanters to standardise the process of planting and prevent damage during planting, Major OT level sterilization, fumigation and autoclaving of all instruments, etc.
Efficiency count: Efficiency counts for FUE like transection rates and speed of transplant are noted and documented for each case and reviewed every 10 cases. Arogyam Hair Transplant achieves international standards of transection and speed consistently.
Counting trays: Counting trays are used to contain the follicular units and all patients are given photographs on their mobiles which they can use to easily count the number of follicular units taken out so that they can be sure that they have received the correct number of FU's.
Dr. P. J. Mazumdar is the first and only American Board Certified Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and all procedures are done following the ethical and technical guidelines of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and the International Society for Hair Restoration Surgery. As such, patients can be assured of receiving full professional care as per International standards approved by the ABHRS and ISHRS.
Correct recepient density: To ensure correct recepient density, 'density stamps' are used to ensure proper density is achieved. Angle and direction of hair is meticulously maintained.
Out of body time: The out of body time, the time for which the follicular unit is outside the body, is the most critical factor for success in hair transplant. Aroyam Hair Transplant follows a special procedure to ensure that this time is the minimum. This is done by doing only 1000 follicular units at a time and then replanting them. This ensures that time out of body is less than or equal to1 hour only. This is the shortest period acheivable. Many centers do upto 2000-2500 follicular units at a time so that time out of body goes upto 4-5 hours. We are proud of our time out of body quantum. Though this may cause some sacrifice of time but results are more important.
Follow up: follow up period is critical for the patient when there are many doubts and anxieties in his mind. In our clinic, Dr. P. J. Mazumdar will remain always accessible to the patient directly on his personal mobile for any questions the patient may have during this period.
