Inspiring Trichologist of India
Economic Times · Doctor's Day Conclave 2023The Surgeon
Two Decades of
One Singular Focus
Dr. Arihant Surana has spent his entire post-graduate career doing one thing: hair restoration surgery. While most dermatologists add hair transplants as an ancillary service, Dr. Surana chose early on to specialise exclusively — a decision that has given him a depth of technical mastery that generalists simply cannot match.
He holds an MBBS degree and a Diploma in Dermatology from Mumbai, and has undergone advanced surgical training with some of the world's leading hair restoration practices. His formal collaboration as Medical Director of Alvi Armani India from 2008 to 2020 — one of the most prestigious hair transplant brands globally, headquartered in Beverly Hills — placed him at the intersection of international best practice and the unique hair characteristics of Indian patients.
"I have always believed that the surgeon's hands should never leave the procedure. When you delegate extraction to a technician, you lose control over the most critical variable in a hair transplant — graft quality. That is a compromise I have never been willing to make."
— Dr. Arihant Surana, Founder, Monaris Hair ClinicBefore founding Monaris Hair Clinic, Dr. Surana served as Medical Head of DHI India from 2008 to 2012, building expertise in direct implantation techniques that would later inform his proprietary AHT (Autologous Hair Transplant) method — a technique that significantly improves graft survival by preserving follicles in autologous growth factor solution immediately post-extraction.
In recognition of his contribution to hair restoration in India, Dr. Surana was awarded the Economic Times Most Inspiring Trichologist of India — a reflection not just of clinical outcomes, but of his role in educating patients and raising standards across the industry.

Global Training
12 Years with Alvi Armani —
Beverly Hills to Delhi
Alvi Armani is one of the most respected hair transplant practices in the world, founded by Dr. Baubac Hayatdavoudi MD in Beverly Hills. The clinic is known globally for natural hairline design, high-density procedures, and surgical precision that has served celebrities, athletes, and executives across the US and Europe.
From 2008 to 2020, Dr. Surana served as Medical Director of Alvi Armani India — bringing this global standard of care directly to Indian patients at his Defence Colony clinic. The collaboration involved direct technical exchange, shared surgical protocols, and regular training visits to Beverly Hills.
This is not a franchise arrangement. It was a working clinical partnership — which is why the techniques, the standard of care, and the insistence on surgeon-only procedures at Monaris are directly informed by 12 years of operating within one of the world's best hair restoration practices.

Surgical Expertise
Techniques Performed
by Dr. Surana
Every procedure — extraction, implantation, hairline design — is performed personally by Dr. Arihant Surana. No steps are delegated.
AHT – Autologous Hair Transplant
Monaris's proprietary gold-standard. Grafts are preserved in autologous growth factor solution immediately after extraction, maximising survival rates and delivering denser, more natural results. Developed from Dr. Surana's decade-long experience across DHI and Alvi Armani protocols.
Learn about AHT →FUE – Follicular Unit Extraction
One of India's first FUE surgeons. Individual follicles extracted with sub-1mm microsurgical tools, leaving no linear scar. Ideal for patients who want shorter hairstyles post-procedure. Dr. Surana has performed FUE for 16+ years — longer than most Indian clinics have offered it.
Explore FUE →DHI – Direct Hair Implantation
CHOI implanter pen technique for precise angle and depth control. Dr. Surana led DHI implementation across India as Medical Head of DHI India. Recommended for hairline reconstruction cases where millimetre-level precision is the primary goal.
Read about DHI →Hair Transplant Repair & Correction
Correcting failed or unnatural results from other clinics is one of Dr. Surana's most requested services. Pluggy hairlines, poor graft survival, visible scarring — each presents a different surgical challenge that demands the kind of experience most Indian surgeons do not have.

Why High-Performance Athletes Choose Dr. Surana
Professional cricketers face unique demands. They appear on broadcast television watched by millions, under high-definition cameras and changing light. A hairline that looks even slightly unnatural is immediately visible — and permanent. The margin for error is zero.
That is precisely why international players like Harshal Patel (Indian T20I team, Punjab Kings), Stuart Binny (Indian international), and Hanuma Vihari (Indian Test cricketer) chose Dr. Surana at Monaris — because his record of natural, undetectable results at scale is unmatched in Delhi.
