Hair thinning is not limited only to men. Women face it as well. Although the size of problem experienced by women is smaller, it lowers the confidence level and disturbs your mind undeniably. Many women therefore have chosen the hair transplant as their long-term solution. As the hair loss and thinning hair in male and female is different, the approach to their hair transplantation should be different too. Let's see how the women can have the beautiful hair through a hair transplant.
Let's start with the most common problem of thinning hair in women. If the hair around the parting is thinner than the others, it is called "Christmas Tree” pattern". If this “Christmas-Tree Thinning Hair” is abandoned, it will get wider and wider until you will the baldness. Or in some cases, thinning hair is seen all over the head. Another common pattern of hair loss and thinning is an “M” shape, which adversely changes the facial proportion. No matter what type or pattern it is, it makes you feel annoyed when you cannot do your preferred hairstyle. Of course, your confidence seems to be gradually decreased.
The perfect and beautiful outcome starts with taking a closer look at the face shape and original hairline. Women and men have different face shapes. For women, most common face shapes are oval face shape, heart face shape and round face shape, with curve or heart-shaped hairline. First things first, the surgeon will design a facial frame which goes well with the patient’s face shape. The patient’s preferences are the first priority, supported by the Golden Ratio principle. Generally, the women's hairline is curved or heart- shaped, with slight frontal forelock making the face looks more naturally beautiful.
The implantation technique used by doctors is gradation of thickness and the number of hair strands in each graft. Hair implantation and insertion based on this gradation principle help in meeting the expected beauty. The hair orientation is another very delicate step because the hair direction cannot be fixed after the hair transplant is completed. That’s why, at Namnin, the surgeon will implant every single hair herself to guarantee that the hair direction and density is perfectly right.
What makes the NEAT technique superior is the use of a tiny device, only 0.6 mm in size, in removing the hair grafts from the back of the head in a stepped manner. With this technique, shaving or cutting hair is not needed. As the tool is very tiny, you won’t feel pain at all. Besides, the wounds that occur after the surgery are small, without swelling (only some scabs are left). No recovery is needed so you can do your daily activities as usual the next day after getting the hair transplantation.
After the surgery is completed, the doctor will closely look after you because you will have to go through some worries. Some patients may experience ‘Shock Loss period’ 2 weeks after hair transplantation, which is the phase of hair loss occurred naturally. There are 3 typical conditions of hair falling out: the first is hair falling out wholly before entering the resting phase, ready for the functional hair growth cycle; the second is no hair falling out; and the last one is hair stubbles. Don’t worry if you experience these matters as they are very normal cycle found. Within 4 months after getting the hair transplant, you will gradually see your new hair as you have dreamt of.
You will have an appointment with the doctor to follow up on the results of the treatment periodically. In the visits, you will also be given many useful advice and daily practices. In the meantime, a variety of treatments is recommended to stimulate the growth of hair follicles like Hair Growth Treatment or LLLT. To meet your desired goal, the recommendations, precautions, and practices should be followed strictly so the 18-month period is worth waiting.
No matter you get the hair transplant to solve hair loss and thinning, or to redefine your face shape for enhancing the confidence, it is important to do a thorough research before making a decision. Honestly, only a true medical professional can provide the most precise picture and information as each problem, need and limitation is different. The hair transplantation must be ‘personalized’ to have the ‘right solution’ at the ‘right place’.
