A decade ago to this day, Srinath Jinadasa wasn’t particularly surprised to hear that a plane had crashed into the building he worked in.

Its upper floors were vomiting black smoke, flames and debris.

Dr. Haren Jayasinghe painstakingly sows row after row of hair in their tidy little follicular units. Patiently, he builds a new hairline. The technique he uses is known as Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE. Having recently returned from an extended stay in Britain, Dr. Jayasinghe now runs Sri Lanka’s only FUE hair transplant clinic – the Prosper Clinic in Battaramulla.
