What do you think is the most important step in hair transplantation?
We are quite sure that the answer that always pops into people's minds is the day of hair transplant procedure. At Namnin, the doctor will be the one who perform a graft-by-graft implantation to fill in hair loss and thinning areas. But actually...hair transplant doesn't end on the day hair grafts are inserted...This is to say, no matter how well the doctor implanted the hair grafts, the outcome cannot be guaranteed. In the absence of proper care, newly grown hair will weaken and are at risk of falling out.
Therefore, it can be said that the continuous care after hair transplantation is as important as the transplant day. There are no shortcuts for this time-consuming process!! Due to the fact that new hair will grow according to the natural cycle that takes up to one year, a “hand-in-hand mission after hair transplant” of both doctors and patients needs to start and continue to help the newly implanted hair survive and grow strongly, from day 1 to day 365.
Do you know what will happen if we neglect the post-transplant care steps just because we think that the hair transplant is finished and there is nothing to be done after?
- First of all, imagine your hair grafts have just been implanted and the hair follicles are not yet strong or firmly embedded into the scalp, blood vessels are not yet connected well enough for nutrients delivery. Therefore, there is a risk that the hair roots will become inflamed, weak and fall out easily, in other words it’s called a failure. This is caused by improper activities and practices such as too much exercise or strenuous activity, itching or scratching, improper sleeping position, or even hair washing mistakes.
- Next, even if you have undergone a hair transplant, you may unexpectedly experience “baldness” at other areas of the head. Commonly, this is found in patients with hereditary baldness. DHT or Dihydrotestosterone is the key factor that causes the pores to become small abnormally, so the hair becomes smaller, shorter, thinner and weaker as well. Eventually, it leads to hair loss.
Please note that, even though the doctor has removed the hair grafts from the Safe Donor Area (occipital area), which has DHT-resistant property, and implanted in the problem area, the original hair in other area of the head is the old one that is still influenced by DHT hormone. However, with a proper care after hair transplant, it will help to slow down the loss of the original hair in these other areas as well.
365 days after hair transplantation are certainly an important period for doctors to periodically monitor and follow up the results closely as well as providing personalized advice according to the nature of problems that varies from person to person. In the meantime, the patient's cooperation is a must. The hair and scalp need to be treated well according to the doctor's recommendations. As you know, a hair transplant is considered an investment that takes time and money, discipline and attention is required to make this once-in-lifetime investment worthwhile and successful.
With a better understanding of the nature of the hair growth cycle and the needs of our patients, Namnin has designed services and products that will help the path to dense and healthy hair go smoothly with the satisfactory outcome.
Start by using mild hair cleansing products like Mojelim Elixir Shampoo, a hypoallergenic hair care product developed by a Korean hair hospital and clinically tested to contain no ingredients that cause skin irritation. In addition to being suitable for both dry and oily hair, this shampoo also helps maintain a balance between oil and moisture on the scalp. This will result in soft, smooth, and clean hair. Most importantly, it helps reduce the risk of hair loss. Commonly, doctors often recommend using it together with Mojelim Elixir Treatment to deeply nourish the hair.
Next step, restore your healthy from within with an excellent serum, namely Elixir Hair Serum by NEAT HAIRNUE that will directly nourish the hair to stimulate hair regeneration and at the same time reduce falling out and loss of newly grown hair. The highlight of Elixir Hair Serum is its key ingredients that are 100% natural extracts from butterfly pea flowers, horsetail grass, wheat seeds, and cattails, which all help nourish the hair to be shiny, black, and look healthy.
A variety of vitamins is one of the things that directly influence the strength of the hair. Dr. Nin has researched and selected beneficial vitamins and make a multivitamin capsule named VITA H. In addition to being easy to consume, you will also get full benefits from natural extracts that are sources of various vitamins. Extracts from brown rice and cactus fruits help reduce oiliness, acne, and scalp inflammation. D-Biotin helps strengthen the hair structure. Zinc Gluconate helps repair hair tissue and improve hair growth. Iron Amino Acid Chelate helps nourish the hair roots to be strong so it reduces hair loss as well. Finally yet importantly, Vitamin B Premix helps in revitalizing and restoring healthy hair.
Not only that, Namnin would like to present a treatment program that utilizes scalp injections to directly nourish the hair and scalp. Premium Hair Booster Treatment is a treatment which help you revitalize the hair and stimulate hair follicles. This allows new hair to grow better and faster. At the same time, the original thin hair that was once limp will be nourished and then becomes thicker, denser, shinier, and healthier, and doesn't fall out easily. From the very first treatment, results can be seen.
Another advantage of Premium Hair Booster Treatment is the convenience that patients receive because it is a treatment that is not complicated at all. Without any side effects, no recovery is needed, no scars remain. You will be handled by the doctor with the utmost care to ensure your safety. In some cases, you will be recommended receiving other treatments simultaneously for better results.
At Namnin, you could rest assured that all the services and products provided by us are under the supervision and evaluation of doctors based on patient-centered principles because we truly understand that each patient has different problems and severity, including different needs and expectation.
All of this is a 365-day mission after hair transplant that requires cooperation and understanding of both doctor and patients so that the newly implanted hair can fully grow with strong hair roots. Just don't forget to pay attention to the post-operative care. It may take a bit of time but it can lead you to worthwhile results of naturally beautiful hair and confidence restored.
