“Get a hair transplant” that meets your desire

Hair transplantation is different from other surgeries in that it cannot be repeated or modified as you like at any time. In addition, with a natural limitation, a hair transplant procedure requires the patient’s own hair with the special properties, located on the Safe Donor Area (the occipital area). Please note that this special hair is a nonrenewable source. Therefore, making a decision on a hair transplant is very cautious. Especially, as these days, there are plenty of advertisements of hair transplant techniques, to make a decision becomes even more difficult.

If you want to get a hair transplant which gives you the "hair" as expected, how should you choose? You must first understand that every step of "hair transplant" is crucial and affects the hair growth. You should study all information thoroughly before making a decision. To make it easier, we have gathered the considerations in this section.

Person who performs hair transplant procedures

From the first day you receive the service until the last day you get completely new hair, there is one important factor that will give patients the most confidence, that is, a “hair transplant surgeon” who works with you as a team from day one. A good hair transplant surgeon should professionally listen to patient’s voice, evaluate expectations and limitations, provide correct understanding, design a treatment path, perform implantation himself/herself, and provide post-op care continuously.

Expertise of the doctor and multidisciplinary team

Every step of hair transplantation affects the growth of new hair. This includes removal and implantation of hair follicles with reliable equipment, considering the size of each hair graft that varies from person to person. Expertise is a necessity because each hair graft is precious and means a lot to a hair transplant procedure.

Hair Grafts Removal Process

The process of removing hair graft takes approximately 3-6 hours. Dr. Nin will plan and supervise every step and process meticulously, starting from selecting the appropriate equipment, and supervising a multidisciplinary team closely at all times. After removing the hair grafts, they must be soaked in preservation solution immediately to maintain the best condition and special properties before implantation. If this process is not controlled well enough, the hair graft may be damaged or inactive which is a major cause of hair transplantation failure.

Every single graft is implanted by the doctor

During NEAT hair transplant procedure, the doctor will implant each graft herself to ensure that every graft will grow as planned. In this step, the doctor needs to rely on both science and art to insert each hair strand in the appropriate position, at a proper depth suitable for new hair growth. During the implanting step, the density, direction, and orientation of the hair must be taken into account in order to obtain the most natural-looking results.

Hair Transplant Aftercare

In addition to the day the hair transplant procedure is performed, another factor that is often overlooked when deciding to have a hair transplant is Hair Transplant Aftercare. We recommend that those receiving a hair transplant service should receive proper and appropriate advice from the doctor throughout the period of one year after undergoing a procedure because there are various conditions that may be encountered such as shock loss. Alternatively, receiving appropriate treatments is recommended

After Hair Transplant Care Set

At Namnin, once the hair transplant procedure is completed, the patients will receive specially selected After Hair Transplant Products so that they can use daily at home safely and comfortably.

Follow-up Care and Monitoring

For a follow-up after hair transplant surgery, Dr. Nin will personally evaluate and follow-up on the treatment. If you have any questions or concerns, you could consult her on the appointment day. This will make one-year period after undergoing a hair transplant procedure a time of peace of mind. Comfort and satisfaction guaranteed!

Are Hair Transplants worth it?

For those who have chosen hair transplantation as a permanent solution to the problem of hair loss and thinning hair and those who are about to decide which hair transplant clinic to receive a service from, one of the most important factors is the "price". These days, there are many different prices ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, to get a hair transplant surgery. The question is, do those prices reflect the effectiveness of hair transplants? Does paying more really mean more success?

In fact, the price seen may not be a complete indicator of 100% result of a hair transplant because marketing expenses are often added. What is more important than "price" is " worthiness”.

At this point, you may be wondering what you have to consider. Namnin therefore have made a checklist to assess if it is worth paying for a hair transplant surgery so that you can make a right decision carefully and worthily with complete information in hand.

Survey the opinions of customers who have already used services

Start by reading the reviews of hair transplantation services from real patients to see what feedback has been shared about their treatment experiences. Did the results really help solve their problem of hair loss and thinning hair? You may study the information given by doctors of each clinic to well know about different ways of giving advice. This is to initially assess the reliability in order to seek an opportunity to get a treatment that best suits your needs.

Who's Qualified to Perform a Hair Transplant Procedure?

This is a question that sometimes may be overlooked. But actually, this is one of the most important questions to be answered. The person who will perform the hair transplant procedure is not only a doctor possessing expertise in hair transplantation. A multidisciplinary team comprising skilled personnel is considered as the indispensable supporter. The level of qualifications, skills, and experiences required depend on the technique and treatment approach that the patient has chosen. Once we know who will perform the hair transplant for us, it will be easier to determine the worthiness of the price paid.

Talking with a doctor in person

Is the information or images seen on the internet true? It's time to prove it by stepping in to talk with a doctor at a hair transplant clinic. Let's see what your perception will be.

How much knowledge do doctors have and how do they convey that knowledge?
How well do doctors listen to and understand your problems and needs, which will lead to designing a treatment strategy together to best meet the patient's needs?
Is the doctor’s analysis personalized? As each patient has different and unique problems, a universal treatment does not exist.
Is the doctor sincere in giving advice based on reality? For example, in case where the hair problem is so severe that the hair cannot be implanted to restore its full density, how does the doctor tell us about that and suggest a solution?
Does the doctor have any interesting techniques for hair transplantation? How does it help us be more comfortable?
How reliable is the hair transplant procedure the doctor explained to you?

All of this will help us reduce anxiety in undergoing a hair transplant surgery and make it easier to choose the right clinic.

Standardized place & equipment

Be sure to check the cleanliness, and standardization of medical equipment as well as places where the hair transplant procedure is performed, to avoid the risk of infection. The equipment the doctor has chosen, that are instruments used for removing and implanting hair grafts and preserving solution, should be reliable and designed with modern technology. The doctor's adequate attention and meticulousness can be seen during removing hair grafts, preparing hair follicles, and implanting each hair graft. These are what Namnin recommended to observe.

Does the clinic help you get prepared for a Hair Transplant Surgery?

The worthiness of hair transplant services is not only measured by the end results but it can be noticed from the beginning of the treatment journey like the process of preparation. Imagine how nervous the patients would be about getting their first hair transplant surgery! However, if they choose a clinic and a doctor who can help them get "prepared" well, they will be free from worry.

A good clinic should be able to help you prepare in many matters. For example, the good clinic should explain about the hair transplant procedure in an easy-to-understand way that gives an overall picture of the entire process; give advice on DOs and DON'Ts such as food and medicine, things that should be avoided before the day of hair transplant, proper exercise, sleep, and clothing that should be worn on hair transplant day for convenience.

The day of hair transplant surgery...One day that will change you into a new person

The day of hair transplant surgery is a crucial day that you should study information and prepare in advance. This is because there are many factors that will help you more clearly assess the worthiness of hair transplants, for example, the treatment methods chosen by doctors and techniques designed to eliminate patient pain points which make the patients feel more comfortable such as wound-hiding hair removal, a technique to hide the wound occurred after hair transplant.

In addition, other factors you should consider include professional attention provided by the medical team and personnel, comfort and convenience in receiving services, and side effects such as pain, swelling, and bruising. A good medical team is the one that will help you feel at ease and rest assured throughout the treatment process.

One-year treatment path

Hair transplantation does not end on the day of the surgery. The journey must continue for another full year after that. As newly implanted hair needs time to gradually grow according to its natural cycle, it is therefore important to choose a hair transplant clinic that will not abandon the patient. A good clinic must look after patients; follow up on the results; give useful advice on recovery practice, selection of haircare product; as well as recommend treatment services, for reducing the risk of hair loss and increasing the survival rate. Moreover, a good hair transplant clinic should allow patients to consult and ask questions at any time, which is considered as a part of worthiness in terms of "time" and "attention" as well.

New hair, the outcome that satisfies you

Short-term and long-term outcome is a key indicator of the worthiness of investing in your hair transplant. Matters you should bear in mind are:
After undergoing a hair transplant surgery, your problem of thinning hair is solved and your hair looks denser.
The direction of the newly grown hair blends in with the original hair naturally, not grow in the wrong direction.
should be smooth with natural look and creates the brighter face framing
For hair implanted on the top of the head (the crown), it should grow in the same direction with the original hair.
The density of the newly grown hair should be appropriate, not too few grafts but not too many until the hair fall out easily.
The survival rate of newly grown hair is high and the hair doesn’t fall out abnormally.
The new hair is properly designed to suit the patient's gender, age, and needs.

This is a checklist that hair lovers should not overlook in order to evaluate the worthiness of hair transplant to be chosen. Please note that there is no right or wrong in hair transplant pricing. It all depends on whether or not the investment delivers the results that meet your expectation.

As this hair transplant may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you, choose the right one...

One day with NEAT Technique

If you are one of those who are experiencing the problem of hair loss, thinning hair or M-shaped hairline, "Namnin" asks for just one day of your valuable time to solve these problems with hair transplant using the NEAT technique.

NEAT changes an image of scary traditional hair transplantation that involve wrapping a cloth around the head, long recovery period and complicated self-care to a comfortable and convenient procedure.

The development of NEAT began with Dr. Nin’s idea. She desires to deliver the more meaning of hair transplantation, that is not just "the hair." NEAT Technique has been designed and developed on a basis of balanced combination of “Science and Art”, aiming to provide both beauty and convenience to our clients.

NEAT consists of various techniques. The first technique is called “stair-step removal”. A small device is used to delicately remove the hair follicles without shaving and wound left. With this technique, patients can resume their daily lives immediately after the hair transplant operation without any recovery time.

The next technique, the heart of the NEAT technique, is the use of 0.6 mm implanter pen. With this tiny device, it leaves small wounds, causes some amount of bleeding, swelling and bruising, no scab or very small scabs. Patients therefore are away from pain, long-recovery time, or taking a day off. You can live your live as usual without anything to worry about.

Besides the unique techniques, Dr. Nin's experience, meticulousness and attention is what makes us outstanding. Every single hair graft is implanted only by Dr. Nin no matter how many hours it takes to complete the entire operation. This is to make one day at “Namnin” your special day. NEAT will hand you the new hair that recalls your confidence and attractiveness in the most perfect way.

When a hair transplant is no longer difficult, suffering or a waste of time in life, please do not let your hair loss and thinning hair destroy your confidence anymore. Just open your heart and let NEAT help you regenerate "new hair" and transform yourself to become a new person who looks better than ever. Be ready for opportunities that will come into your life!

Ten hours of care and attention from the doctor for the new you

This is a ten-hour period that….

...some people have taken years in searching for information before making a decision;

…some people have called it an important investment, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity;

…many people look forward to being transformed themselves into a new person after this ten-hour period is completed.

That’s the reason why Dr. Nin of Namnin Clinic always dedicates and pays attention to this 10-hour period of hair transplant procedure for each of our patients. You may be curious why it takes up to ten consecutive hours. That’s because hair transplantation is a complex and delicate process that requires both medical science and artistic perspective. In addition, hair transplantation involves working with very small hairs that needs high level of carefulness and meticulousness

Therefore, hair transplantation is not a task that anyone can do. At Namnin, only the true doctors with expertise and experience can perform this delicate task. This is the ten hours of work that the medical team has to perform to transform you into a new person as you desire.

Planning a treatment together

30-40 minutes

Dr. Nin begins the process by discussing with the patient to know and understand his/her concerns, needs and expectation well enough. Then the hair problem analysis will be performed for further designing a personalized treatment on the basis of patient-centered principle. As each patient comes to us with different problems and causes, those differences need to be understood and clarified. Some patients have just been noticing a sign of thinning hair. Some have been worried about almost bald head. Some have insufficient hair at the Safe Donor Area, that is, the lower back of the head.

In this stage, Dr. Nin will evaluate the area to be implanted transplanted in order to calculate if there are enough hair grafts at the Safe Donor Area. In case of insufficiency, Dr. Nin will decide how to solve the problem, this is to say, averaged-dense implantation or specific selecting the most in-demand area.

In addition, Dr. Nin also draws a new frontal hairline on the forehead to adjust the facial proportion in line with the patient needs, using the Golden Ratio principle. Therefore, you can rest assured that the treatment has been mutually planned by the doctor and the patient.

Preparing the Donor Area at the occipital area

20-30 minutes

As the hair grafts have to be removed from the Safe Donor Area at the lower back of the head, that is, the area with DHT-resistant hair, the good preparation is one of the crucial steps that should not be overlooked. Start by cutting hair using a stair-step removal technique to avoid any concern that may arise after undergoing a hair transplant. This stair-step technique was developed for delivering the most comfortable and convenient experience.

Removing hair grafts from the donor area

3-6 hours

In the process of removing hair grafts from the occipital area, Dr. Nin carefully plans the use of various instruments such as an implanter pen, so that the least number of wounds will be left on the scalp.

To remove hair grafts, Namnin's multidisciplinary team, which has been intensively trained by Dr. Nin, will be the one who perform this important task under Dr. Nin's close supervision.

The removed hair grafts must be soaked in preservation solution immediately to maintain the natural properties before proceeding to the next step of graft selection and trimming. This is because each problem area requires different size of hair. For example, the frontal hairline requires hair grafts comprising small and thin hair strands, only one hair strand per graft. For the top of the head, larger hair strands are required, 3 - 4 hair strands per graft. Selecting and trimming the hair grafts is another key step that reflects the delicacy of Dr. Nin's hair transplant operation.

After the hair graft removal process, it’s the time for having a meal or a snack. Let your body recharge for 30 - 45 minutes so that it will be ready for the next step of hair transplantation procedure.

Strand-by-strand hair transplantation by a doctor

3-6 hours

Finally, it's time to implant carefully-prepared hair grafts into the scalp. Although there are thousands of hair grafts waiting to be punched, but all of them will be meticulously implanted by Dr. Nin alone. For the most satisfactory result, the following various factors affecting the survival of newly implanted hair graft will be taken into account:

The direction and orientation of each follicular unit must be focused so that the newly grown hair will be blended in with the original hair. One thing to keep in mind is that it usually takes several months to see the final outcome. When that time comes and your new hair has grown in the wrong direction, it cannot be fixed easily or it can be said that it cannot be fixed anymore. That’s why the direction and orientation of hair needs the special attention.
Depth of implantation: If hair grafts are implanted at a shallow depth, they may fail to survive. Ultimately, proper depth control is the key factor for graft survival because if influences the nutrient delivery.
Density of implantation: The hair grafts must be implanted at the right density. Too few hair grafts will not solve the problem. Too many hair grafts will cause the risk of the hair graft falling out.

At Namnin, we have used an imported state-of-the-art device, that is the 0.6 mm Implanter Pen. This technology allows hair transplantation to be done with more precision. It leaves small wounds with little bleeding, decreased swelling and bruising. With these advantages, patients can generally resume their normal daily routine almost immediately.

The actual time required for each case may vary with the problem complexity and the number of hair grafts used. There's no need to worry because the entire process will be under close supervision of Dr. Nin.
