When it came to getting a hair transplant done for himself, Harjit Singh Lodwal, 40, an NRI based in Chicago, US chose India after a lot of meticulous research.
Lodwal says he selected a cutting-edge clinic in Jaipur for two reasons: the expertise of its surgeons and equally importantly, the high standards of hygiene implemented there.
