Direct Hair Transplant

What Direct Hair Transplant does

Direct Hair Transplant, operating under the legal entity AKS Clinic, is a privately-held, founder-led hair restoration clinic founded in 2008 by Dr. Akhilendra Singh (MD, PGIMER Chandigarh) and Dr. Khusboo Singh (UCSF program). The clinic offers surgical hair restoration using FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), its proprietary DHT/Trichofusion technique, HD FUE (pioneered in India by Dr. Akhilendra Singh), Biostimulated FUE, body hair transplant, and facial hair restoration (beard, moustache, eyebrow). Non-surgical offerings include PRP therapy, GFC therapy, Exosome therapy, and Dutasteride mesotherapy. The clinic also provides cosmetic adjuncts such as scalp micro-pigmentation, semi-permanent makeup, and eyelash lift/tint. An AI-powered scalp scan is used for revision case assessment.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer, consultation-driven model with two physical clinic locations (Gurgaon headquarters in Sushant Lok 1, and a secondary Delhi clinic), generating revenue through one-time surgical procedures priced on a graft-based quote determined during in-person consultation, plus recurring non-surgical treatment services. Marketing is distributed across a content-rich website, SEO blogs, social media (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter), Google reviews, earned media features (Mid-day, Business Today, Hindustan Times), and word-of-mouth referrals from a base of 3,200+ prior transplant patients and 6,290+ non-surgical treatment recipients over 17+ years.

The clinic is a bootstrapped, non-investor-backed single-geography (Delhi NCR) medical practice with a team of 11–50 employees. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are individual consumers (SMB-segment patients) experiencing male/female pattern baldness, scarring alopecia, revision cases, and facial hair restoration needs. The company has no external funding, no subsidiaries, no M&A history, and no disclosed partnerships.
