Alopecia Treatment in RIIHT – Radha Institute of Hair Transplant

About the clinic

Treatment for alopecia at the Radha Institute of Hair Transplant (RIIHT) in Visakhapatnam, India, is led by Dr. Radha Rani. Dr. Radha Rani is the first surgeon in India to hold dual certification from the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) and the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS).

Expertise in hair restoration

Dr. Radha Rani brings over 20 years of experience to the clinic, having performed 5,000+ hair transplants. A fellowship at the National Skin Centre in Singapore and training under Dr. Damkerng Pathomvanich shaped her surgical approach. Every procedure at RIIHT follows a surgeon-led model, meaning Dr. Radha Rani personally performs the surgery rather than delegating to technicians. The clinic uses sterile operating rooms that meet international standards and applies individual facial mapping to create natural hairlines for every patient.

Surgical treatment options

The clinic provides several surgical methods to address different stages of hair loss. All procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home or to their hotel the same day.

  • FUE hair transplant. This minimally invasive method uses ultra-fine micro-punches and high-magnification tools to extract individual follicles. It results in minimal scarring and natural-looking density.
  • FUT hair transplant. Also known as strip surgery, this involves harvesting a donor strip and dissecting grafts under a stereo microscope. This technique is often used for advanced hair loss to achieve a high graft yield.
  • Mega session (FUE+FUT). This hybrid approach combines both extraction methods. It is designed for patients who need maximum graft counts and high-density coverage in a single session.
  • Hair transplant repair surgery. This correction procedure uses graft redistribution to fix poor results from previous transplants at other facilities.
  • Cicatricial alopecia and scar repair. This specialized grafting technique places follicles into scarred or damaged scalp tissue to restore hair growth over patches.

Aesthetic and non-surgical restoration

Beyond scalp restoration, the clinic offers precision grafting for facial hair and regenerative therapies to improve hair quality. These options help balance facial proportions and strengthen existing follicles.

  • Facial hair restoration. These surgeries include beard, moustache, and eyebrow reconstruction. Single-follicle grafting ensures symmetrical and natural growth patterns.
  • Frontal hairline lowering and temple reconstruction. These procedures use graft placement to redefine temple points and advance the hairline for better facial symmetry.
  • Female hair transplant. This service uses precision grafting tailored to the specific thinning patterns often seen in women.
  • PRP and GFC therapy. These non-surgical regenerative treatments use injections of platelet-rich plasma or growth factor concentrates. They help boost scalp health and follicle thickness over multiple sessions.

RIIHT – Radha Institute of Hair Transplant: more details about the clinic

India, Visakhapatnam

RIIHT – Radha Institute of Hair Transplant is a private, surgeon-led clinic in Visakhapatnam, India. The facility focuses on hair restoration and dermatology across two departments. Also known as the International Institute of Hair Transplant (IIHT), the clinic guides patients from consultation through surgery and follow-up care.

Recognitions and Medical Expertise

Dr. Radha Rani leads the clinic with around 20 years of clinical experience. She is the first surgeon in India to hold dual certification from the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) and the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS).

Patient safety follows the IIHT Standard. Under this protocol, Dr. Radha Rani personally performs or directly supervises every surgery. The clinic does not outsource surgical steps to technicians. This approach has supported over 5,000 successful hair transplants since operations began.

Surgical Hair Restoration Techniques

Specialists offer several surgical options for scalp and facial hair restoration. Each procedure begins with individualized aesthetic planning, including facial mapping to set precise angles for hairlines and temples. Available surgical methods include:

  • FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) – individual follicle harvesting for minimal scarring
  • FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) – strip harvesting for high-volume graft needs
  • Mega Session – combined FUE and FUT for maximum density coverage
  • Repair and Correction Surgery – refining or fixing suboptimal results from previous transplants

Surgeons also apply these techniques for beard and eyebrow enhancement. All procedures take place in sterile operating theaters that meet international standards.

Non-Surgical Hair Loss Treatments

The clinic provides medical therapies for patients who don't need surgery or want to support existing follicle health. These treatments improve hair density and scalp wellness through biological regeneration:

  • PRP Therapy – platelets from the patient's blood stimulate growth
  • GFC (Growth Factor Concentrate) Therapy – a highly concentrated growth factor treatment
  • Hair Wellness programs and medically managed hair loss protocols

These therapies often accompany surgery to improve graft survival and speed healing. Dr. Radha Rani oversees all medical treatments. Her background includes dermatology training at Andhra Medical College and a fellowship at the National Skin Centre in Singapore.

Excellent overall experience with the team at this clinic. Dr Radha is very professional and unlike many other places where lot of small patient tasks are delegated, she actually takes care of all patients and every part of procedures. The staff team were also very friendly and helpful, kudos to the hardworking and loyal team.

I was referred to Radha International Institute of Hair Transplant, Visakhapatnam by my dermatologist and it turned out to be the best recommendation. I underwent a hair transplant using both FUT and FUE methods about a week ago and my experience has been very satisfying. Starting from consultation to the surgery and post-operative care, everything was smooth. Dr. Radha explained the treatment procedure and expectations clearly and patiently to both me and my parents. It's very inspiring to see her passion for her craft. The clinic maintains good hygiene and has a positive environment. Dr. Radha has a wonderful team and they were all very supportive and made me comfortable throughout the process. My recovery has been going well so far and I am grateful to Dr. Radha and her team for their care, kindness and guidance throughout this journey. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone considering a hair transplant - you'll be in the best hands.

I recently underwent a hair transplant with Dr. Radharani madam, and I’m very satisfied with the experience. She explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. The procedure was smooth, and the staff was very supportive. The hairline design looks natural, and I’m already seeing good progress in the early months. Post-surgery guidance has also been very helpful. Overall, a great experience and I highly recommend her for anyone considering a hair transplant.

I can’t recommend this clinic enough. From the very first consultation to the follow-ups after the procedure, everything felt smooth, well-organised, and genuinely professional. Dr Radharani clearly knows her field inside out. What really stood out to me was how transparent she was—she took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense, without overpromising results. That honesty made a big difference and gave me real confidence going into the procedure. Another thing I really appreciated is that Dr Radharani personally performs the procedure herself, rather than handing it off to staff. That level of involvement gave me even more trust and reassurance. The care and attention throughout were excellent. One moment that really stayed with me was how patient Dr Radharani was with my wife. She was quite anxious about the whole process, but Dr Radharani took the time to calmly walk her through everything and address all her concerns without rushing. Even after the surgery, the support has been fantastic. The team has been quick to respond to any questions during recovery, which made the whole experience much less stressful. If you’re looking for a clinic that values clear communication, supports both patients and their families, and is upfront and honest, Dr Radharani and her team are absolutely worth considering.
