Among the various factors that influence the success of each hair transplant, a “doctor” is considered the heart of hair transplantation, who determines the satisfactory outcome.
Hair transplantation
When a subtle science meets a delicate art
As Namnin has always emphasized that hair transplantation requires both science and art. Thankfully, nowadays the innovative techniques and state-of-the-art technologies have been created and improved continuously to fulfill the patients’ needs and expectations. However, another factor which is crucial to the effective procedure is the art of creating a handcraft representing in the form of doctor’s expertise.
Hair, a part of the body that seems not that important, but in fact, it is an organ that plays an important role in the body in living. It is as complex as other organs so there must be a doctor who specifically studies about the nature and function of the hair. In addition, nowadays, hair care trends are becoming more and more popular. People of all genders and different ages have begun to choose hair transplant to stop their hair loss and thinning hair more and more. Hair transplantation is not only for men or the elderly as in the past. What we can see now is that the leading hospitals in many countries accelerating the development of hair transplantation techniques, and in the meantime practicing, training and sharing and exchanging knowledge amongst them. This is to enhance the skills of the doctors to be able to effectively perform every single step of all the delicate treatment procedures. That’s why the science of hair transplantation is now immensely popular.
To perform a hair transplant surgery, not only medical skills but also artistic perspective is required. As the hair is about the appearance and image. It can be seen as a reflection of personality and identity that influences the self-confidence, pride or even inner happiness.
Dealing with hair loss and thinning hair is not just a treatment to solve the hair and scalp abnormality, but it is a kind of an art to improve the appearance of its owner in order to enhance or restore the confidence through the aesthetics approach.
Meeting the needs of patients,
The Heart of Treatment
In providing the hair transplantation service, Namnin always adheres to the patient-centered principle, which the patient will experience from the first visit. During consultation, the patient's problems and needs are heard and understood attentively so that a treatment plan will be made effectively, meeting the patient's needs as well as the medical principles and standards simultaneously.
Thoroughly, the doctor understands the different conditions and problems of each patient that a single fixed formula cannot be used. The doctor needs to design and create a tailor-made treatment for each of our patient in order to achieve the most excellent outcome.
For patients with a receding frontal hairline, the doctor will design and draw a new hairline (called facial frame) on the basis of the Golden Ratio principle. This step requires aesthetic art to improve or enhance the beauty of face and recall the youthfulness, varied by gender and needs, for instance, gentle and feminine look for women; smart and bold look for men.
The hair in Safe Donor Area Another Key Success Factor
Many people still misunderstand that a hair transplant can solve hair loss and thinning hair completely no matter how severe it is. Some may misunderstand that they can get hair transplantation anytime they desire. It is not like that! One of the challenges of hair transplantation is the readiness of hair in the Safe Donor Region, located on the lower back of the head. Commonly the hair from this Safe Donor Area is used in a hair transplantation because of its special property of DHT hormone resistance which is a cause of hair loss and premature shedding.
Besides, each person has the number of hair strands per graft differently. “Hair graft” here refers to a hair clump that consists of 1-4 hair strands. For people with only 1-2 hair strand per graft, it may cause some difficulties when getting a hair transplant is needed.
As explained, we all have a limited amount of beneficial hair (hair in Safe Donor Area) so we may be able to undergo a hair transplantation no more than 1-2 times. In addition, if you let your hair loss and thinning hair unsolved until it becomes severe baldness, no one guarantees if your superpower hair is left at Safe Donor Region sufficiently.
At this point, an expert doctor plays an important role in analyzing the condition of hair loss and thinning hair problem to see how severe it is. How many hair grafts are needed? Does the patient have sufficient beneficial hair? How should it be managed properly? Worthily, the doctor will calculate the exact amount of hair grafts to be removed.
Before removing a hair graft, the doctor must consider and ensure that after removing the hair graft, the problem must be solved and at the same time the hair at the lower back of the head must be maintained sufficiently. To avoid visible wound and indent on the head, Namnin utilizes a stepped-removal technique to remove the hair graft beautifully. This technique helps our patients free from worry and any hairstyles are possible after undergoing the surgery at Namnin.
Hair Transplantation served by a True Doctor
When it comes to the most important step of “Implantation”, no one can do this better than a skilled surgeon. This step requires the professionally medical skills combined with the art of hair grafting. The utmost delicacy and attentiveness are crucial in completing this process because the doctor needs to select, dissect and sort hair grafts properly, taking into account the size, thickness, angle, direction and orientation of hair. This step is considered as a success indicator. Please keep in mind that a wrong direction of hair cannot be later corrected so choose the right one to avoid irreparable failures.
In addition, in implanting each hair graft, there are many matters to be controlled properly like the density and spacing. That is to say, if the hair grafts are implanted too rarely, the problem will not be gone. If too dense, the implanted hair will eventually fall out. In addition, the depth of implantation must not be overlooked because too deep implantation would make hair follicles to die after some time.
At Namnin, our doctor is the one who performs the crucial step of implantation, from the first graft to the last one. Therefore, the patient can be assured that your hair transplant surgery is performed attentively with a strand-by-strand practice.
One-year Post-Op Care
The journey of doctors and patients is not over yet. After the hair transplant procedure is completed, your hair will gradually become firmly embedded into the scalp and hair growth cycle continues functionally. Before the final picture can be seen, one-year consultation and monitoring is therefore necessary.
After undergoing a hair transplant surgery, the patients will be provided a variety of hair care products as well as productive treatments like Exosome injection and Low-Level Laser Therapy. These help to reduce hair loss and at the same time stimulate the function of hair follicles. You can be assured of the safety of the treatments because every step will be under the supervision and advice of a doctor closely.
Skill, expertise and abilities of an expert doctor along with the attentive care are the key success factors of Namnin, as we truly believe that the happiness and satisfaction of the patient must always come first.
