Before kicking off your hair transplant
Those who are interested in getting hair transplantation contact Namnin clinic to make an appointment for a medical consultation.
On the appointment date, the doctor will let the patient ask questions freely to clear up their doubts, concerns or anxieties. The detailed steps of treatment will be explained so that the patients can see the overall picture of "hair transplantation". Most importantly, all the problems and needs of the patient will be heard and placed in the first priority because the needs and problems of each patient will never be identical. The doctor and the patient need to work together to create the best personalized treatment, the heart of success.
'Patient-centered treatment’ or called ‘Customer Centric’ is applied to ensure that each individual problem will be solved perfectly, meeting the needs of our patients.
Set a day when it’s convenient for you. The whole process will be completed within just 1 day.
On the day of undergoing hair transplantation
The procedure of transforming you into a new person starts with designing a hairline (forehead hair line). Of course, the hairline design cannot be done by the only doctor’s view. The needs of patient and the Golden Ratio principle are the key things which cannot be overlooked. The new hairline not only solves the problem of receding hairline, but also delivers a better natural look. Hairline design is not just a simple process. It is a kind of art requiring the professional artistic perspective.
The Golden Ratio in the beauty industry, known as the natural beauty ratio of the face, is the ratio derived from a mathematical theory discovered by Leonardo Fibonacci. It is widely used in various fields of art and design. The hair transplantation applies it as well.
Welcome to the operating room, where patients are advised to wear comfortable clothes, button front top is recommended. In this step, the patient will lie down comfortably. Then the surgeon will perform the hair graft removal, using a tiny instrument called ‘implanter’.
At Namnin, the surgeon utilizes a stepped-removal technique to hide the wound. Hair grafts will be removed appropriately in order to ensure that the wounds will not be seen. So the patients can be free from worry.
A hair graft (hair follicles) is a group of hair strands consisting of 1-4 strands. Commonly, hair grafts will be taken from the lower back of the head because of their special property of DHT hormone resistance. With this special property, the implanted hairs will be strong regardless of where they are implanted.
The patient's hair graft will be well treated and preserved in the excellent solution. Then surgeon’s assistant will gradually extract, clean, and sort the hair grafts according to the number of hair strands to be appropriate for each recipient area. For example, 2-4 strands per graft is required for an area on the top of the head, but 1-2 strands per graft is best fit for the frontal area.
While the medical assistants are concentrating on the graft preparation, it's a lunch break for the patient before moving on to the next step which is the most important moment.
At Namnin, the surgeon is the only one who inserts each hair graft into your scalp. As the hair implantation is a very delicate process, the one who can complete it must be an expert surgeon only. There are different significant issues to consider.
Selecting an appropriate hair graft must consider the number of hair strands per graft, the size and thickness of the hair. The surgeon then carefully implant each hair graft taking into account the proper density of the newly transplanted hair grafts, as well as the perfectly right hair direction and orientation.
Angle of each follicular unit is another key factor influencing the final result. The surgeon must select the hair follicles with the right angle to be implanted into the recipient area.
The depth of graft directly associated with blood circulation and nutrients delivery which significantly influences the growth of new hair.
Hair direction and angle is an important factor that the surgeon always pays special attention to because the wrong direction of transplanted hair cannot be fixed at all. Noted that the wrong direction of hair will not be seen until the hair grew – that’s too late to fix it.
The handy assistant in this step is called the Implanter, only 0.6 millimeters in size, imported from abroad. This tiny helper allows the surgeon to implant each hair graft precisely and meticulously. In addition, it leaves only small wounds, reduces bleeding and pain, and speeds up the wound healing.
When grafting has been completed, the patients will be provided the hair cleansing service and the completeness assurance. Then the patient can leave the clinic, continue doing daily activities or return home delightfully
After undergoing the hair transplantation
On the next day, the patient should go see the doctor again to receive hair cleansing service as well as the instructions and practices for proper care hair at home. The patient will be provided the Namnin Hair Care set consisting of hair and scalp care products made from 100% natural extracts.
The hair transplantation procedure does not end in the operating room. To reach the desired goal, another 1 full year of post-op care is strongly needed. Your expert surgeon will closely monitor the progress through the follow-up appointments in which the patient will be given not only the useful advice but also the various supportive hair treatments. As mentioned before, the hair transplantation is a combination of "science" and "art" in which the doctor and patient must work hand in hand from start to finish, with same destination of the New You.
Science and Art-based treatment is the heart of Namin’s NEAT technique, a state-of-the-art technique to solve the hair problems and meet the expectations of patients.
