COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2, Coronavirus) is a dangerous and fast-growing virus. This is a threatening disease that affects many people and takes several lives. As a medical clinic, we first feel obliged to publish about this virus in connection with hair transplant procedures.
In India, as in most of the world, “normal life” came to a halt while the governments and other stakeholders are handling the COVID-19 crisis. We are all aware that this is an alarming situation for all of us.
We are aware of how hair loss and scalp health problems negatively affect your quality of life, especially if someone is worried about your hair loss. For this purpose, we plan to stay available to take virtual and personal care of your hair recovery problems while taking reasonable precautions. Our steps include information about the virus, its current distribution status, and how we can limit it.
The sole purpose of publishing this article by Hairsure Clinic is to convey the current scenario in our practice and our approach. At Hairsure Clinic, we know that these difficult times require modern and unique safety precautions to keep our patients and staff healthy and healthy.
COVID-19:
COVID-19, a new type of SARS, mainly threatens people with respiratory or immune problems. Due to its rapid spread and lack of immunity is worrying; hence containment is the only choice.

COVID-19 symptoms last for one to two weeks, but severe cases last for up to six weeks. The symptoms include:
- Mild fever
- Body Pains
- Cough
- Nasal congestion
- Sore throat
Severe cases are rare. They usually occur in patients with weakened immune systems of lung, heart, liver, kidney and blood disorders. The symptoms are:
- Fever
- Severe cough
- Hard to breathe
- Lung infection
COVID-19 Impact on Hair Transplant:
India has a growing number of cases, with nearly one lakh confirmed cases as of today. We will follow all the new procedures and standards. So far, there are no government restrictions that affect hair transplantation surgery. Also, there are no COVID-19 cases after undergoing hair transplantation.
COVID-19 Safety Practices While Performing Hair Transplant:
Our priority has always been to offer our customers exceptional customer service and support. We currently comply with all safety measures, routine cleaning and deep cleaning. We are monitoring the entire system closely. We are following security measures as instructed by the authorities.
The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) has prepared extensive guidelines to stop the spread of COVID-19. We adopted and updated the following protocol at Hairsure Clinic.
Pre-screening:
We begin by pre-screening our clients during the time of appointments, and look for symptoms so that there are no surprises upon arrival. This information is sent by email, telephone. Virtual assistance is given if the patient falls into the high-risk category,
Sanitization maintenance:
Customers who have visited our clinic already know that we work diligently to get the cleanest hair recovery products. We have now intensified all cleaning techniques regularly at all entry points and patient care areas. We are now aggressively sanitizing doors, equipment, laboratories, examination rooms, reception rooms, waiting rooms and treatment rooms between each patient, repeated throughout the day to minimize further risk.
Social distance:
At Hairsure Clinic, we have created a culture where we treat each patient as a member of our family. An important part of this culture is the use of warm welcome by hand. Unfortunately, in today’s environment, we have switched from handshakes to hand waves, Namaste. This greeting is to maintain social distance.
Limitation on several guests:
We also ask our customers not to bring their friends and acquaintances, because we have limited the number of guests in our facilities to comply with the protocol. We fully comply with the extensive information provided by the ISHRS Medical Association and do our best to stop the spread of COVID-19 and will continue to do so.
How To Minimize COVID-19 Exposure:
For best practices for our customers and employees, we recommend that you follow these guidelines:
- Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds.
- Disinfect your hands with alcohol-based sanitizers.
- Do not touch your face, nose, or eyes to reduce the spread in your body.
- Avoid direct contact with buttons and doors, especially in elevators. Instead, try using the elbow or the back of the ankle.
- Cover a sneeze or cough on your elbow/arm.
- When you leave the house, wear a mask.
- If you have flu-like symptoms or feel uncomfortable in other ways, stay at home and rest.
Conclusion:
