Research
Together with Co-Founder Dr. Pradeep Sethi, she described Direct Hair Transplant (DHT) in their 2013 research paper, “Direct hair transplantation: a modified follicular unit extraction technique”, published in the Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery. In DHT, extraction and implantation happen at the same time, so grafts stay outside the body for under 30 minutes, compared to 3 to 6 hours with conventional FUE.

A second paper, published in 2019, covers the use of implanters in premade sites.

Her approach
Every plan begins with an assessment of what the patient’s own donor area can provide over a lifetime, not with a target graft count. Hair loss can progress, so the plan accounts for the future as well as the present. Her guiding principle is simple: do it once, do it right.
