Different questions are being raised by fans and followers of Dr John Watts are flooding his series of hugely popular educational videos with queries related to hair transplants and hair growth issues.

In this educational video, noted dermatologist & trichologist and one of the Best Hair Transplant Surgeons in Hyderabad Dr John Watts answers select shortlisted questions of viewers related to hair growth, hair hall and hair transplant. He has performed over 2000+ hair transplant surgeries successfully.


Harshwardhan asks: Sir if I use 1% Darkenyl will my grey hair turn black? Similarly, I wanted to know if I use Redensyl 3% will it make my hair dense and strong? Please explain.

In his response, Dr John Watts tells Harshwardhan not to believe the names of brands as literal truths when it comes to hair growth oil, serum or lotion-based products. “The names could be misleading as by ‘Darkenyl’ one could assume that the grey hair would turn dark, or one could read ‘dense’ in Redensyl to mean that hair would become dense after use. This is not the case,” explained Dr John Watts.

If that logic was true then one would have found in Mysore in ‘Mysore Bajji’ and one would have turned actually turned fair after using “fair & lovely” creams, he reasoned.

For hair growth, only two US FDA-approved drugs – Minoxidil & Finasteride – are available in the market but for controlling grey hair, Dr John Watts said that one needs to take medication.

“If one is facing greying of hair at a young age, then one needs to consult a dermatologist to check if one is deficient in Vitamin B 12, Vitamin D or Serum Ferritin and take Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) tablets for controlling greying of hair,” informed Dr John Watts.

While there won’t be 100% results by taking these supplements, Dr John Watts said that completely erasing grey hair is impossible but one can definitely control further greying of hair. “Even if 75% of your grey hair turns black, the remaining 25% grey hair will become noticeable,” explained Dr John.

While answering his second question, Dr John Watts said that one may use medically approved drugs like Minoxidil and Finasteride, followed by mesotherapy including GFCs, stem cell treatment, PRPs and derma roller. “But, Redensyl alone cannot give you dense hair,” explained Dr John.

Hyper Nawab asks: Sir, how much would a 9000-hair graft transplant cost? Please explain.

In his response, Dr John Watts straightway asked Hyper Nawab as to the criteria he followed to arrive at the 9000 hair grafts needed for his hair transplant. “You cannot do 9000 hair grafts transplants in one sitting. Furthermore, for such a huge number of grafts, you need ample donor hair region,” explained Dr John.

Explaining further, he tells Nawab that he may actually not require any hair transplant at all. “You must consult a dermatologist for an expert opinion to see if you really need a hair transplant or your condition may be treated by simple medication,” he advised.

G Swamy asks: Sir, can I use dermaroller to control my hair fall problem? Please explain.

In his response, Dr John Watts tells Swamy that dermaroller can be used to control hair fall problems. However, it is not regarded as the first line of treatment. “You must try to find out if your hair fall is due to simple reasons such as nutritional deficiency or if is it genetic in nature. If it is simple, you may need good nutrition and medication,” he said.

If making lifestyle changes including changes in nutrition and medication does not improve, one may need mesotherapy including stem cell treatment, GFCs, PRPs and then dermaroller. “The last option is to undergo a hair transplant procedure,” explained Dr John Watts.
