Dr. Ashwini — Surgeon & Founder

Dr. Ashwini is the founder and lead surgeon of Sapphire Roots Hair Transplant Clinic in Wakad, Pune. A specialist in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (MDS, OMFS), Dr. Ashwini brings the precision, sterile technique, and anatomical expertise of a fully qualified surgical specialist to every hair restoration procedure — a standard that distinguishes Sapphire Roots from clinics where procedures are delegated to technicians.

With over 4 years of dedicated specialisation in hair transplant surgery and more than 1,000 successful cases completed, Dr. Ashwini has developed exceptional expertise across the full spectrum of hair restoration — from first-time hairline restoration at Norwood Stage II to complex multi-session mega sessions, female DHI transplants, eyebrow and beard restoration, and repair of previous transplant results.

Our Philosophy

Sapphire Roots was founded on three non-negotiable principles:

01
Surgical Excellence

Every procedure at Sapphire Roots is performed directly by Dr. Ashwini — not delegated to technicians. The surgeon who consults you is the surgeon who operates. Graft survival, naturalness, and outcomes are our metrics of success.

02
Honest Communication

We never oversell, never inflate expectations, and never proceed with a procedure that is not in the patient's best interest. Every consultation includes an honest assessment of what is achievable and what is not.

03
Comprehensive Care

Our relationship with patients doesn't end when you leave the clinic. Follow-up appointments, WhatsApp support, and medical management continue throughout your recovery and beyond — for as long as you need us.

04
No Compromise on Technique

We invest in genuine sapphire blades, premium CHOI pens, proper graft holding solutions, and quality biological preparations. We do not cut costs in ways that compromise your results. Every detail matters.

The Sapphire Roots Team

Behind every successful hair transplant at Sapphire Roots is a dedicated team of trained professionals who support Dr. Ashwini through every stage of your procedure and recovery:

  • Trained Hair Transplant Technicians: Our technicians are specifically trained in graft handling, sorting, and quality assessment — working under Dr. Ashwini's direct supervision throughout every procedure.
  • Nursing Staff: Experienced nursing professionals manage patient care before, during, and after procedures — from pre-operative preparation to post-operative monitoring.
  • Patient Coordinators: Our coordinator team ensures your journey from first enquiry to follow-up is smooth, clearly communicated, and supported at every step.
  • Lab & Processing Team: Dedicated to PRP, GFC, and other biological preparation protocols — ensuring growth factor preparations meet quality standards before every session.
