Premium Hair Booster The right solution for women with thinning hair

One of the common problems occurring in women in their 30s, other than backache, fatness, and worsening eyesight, is “Hair loss and Thinning hair”. Women are always concerned about their hair problem because the hair represents their attractiveness, youthfulness, and beauty.

Hair loss and thinning hair in women can be caused by genetic factors passed down from generations to generations in the family, hormone levels, aging, side effects of disease, stress, or pregnancy and childbirth, and nutrient deficiencies. In addition, daily habits, such as using too much heat or chemicals in hairstyling, and nutrient deficiencies, can lead to weak hair and falling out as well.

If you look closely, you will see that male and female hair loss is quite different. This is to say, male hair loss usually begins with receding hairline, bald spot on the top of the head, then bald head. But for female hair loss, it gradually begins at the hair part and then expands to the sides. Luckily, women never get bald heads like men does.

Although the severity of thinning hair in women may not seem as severe as in men, it can cause distress and undermine the self-confidence of women of all ages. Todays, some women begin to notice “Thinning Hair” at their early 20s. Every problem has a solution!

5 Must-knows before getting a hair transplant

Getting a hair transplant is a crucial decision, once in a lifetime, because it cab be called an investment. It is the matter of not only money but also own face and hair at stake! That’s why we often hear that before getting a hair transplant, you should get to know it well first. That is the factual advice that Namnin would like to give to hair lovers who are about to make a decision on hair transplantation or those who are about to undergo the hair transplant.

Here are five important facts that are the reason why we should study and understand the information in detailed before undergoing a hair transplant that may happen only once in a lifetime.

Fact No.1

An only opportunity that should not be failed

Hair transplantation is not like other cosmetic procedures that can be corrected as often as you desire because it needs the patient's own hair. Besides, the usable hair must be from the Safe Donor Area) which is located, limited in number, at the lower back of the head.

Firstly, let's simply understand the basic principles of hair transplantation. Have you ever noticed that in bald men, hair at the back of the head always remains? This area is known as Safe Donor Area. At Namnin we call it the beneficial hair because of its resistivity character towards the DHT effect, which is an important factor that weakens hair and causes hair falling out easily. Commonly, hairs taken from this safe donor area are used for implanting into the bald areas because the DHT-resistant property will retain no matter where they are implanted.

Even though we have a great helper standing at the back of the head, that doesn't mean all problems will go away. The amount of hair in the Safe Donor Zone is limited. This gives us only 1-2 times to get hair transplant in our lives. Due to this limitation, the surgeon cannot remove all of the beneficial hairs. Some hair must be kept to avoid thinning after removal. Please be reminded that the amount of hair at safe donor area decrease due to aging so don’t wait until its’ too late.

Therefore, understanding the information clearly will help you make a right decision to get the best hair transplant at the first time.

Fact No.2

Hair Graft: a technical term that you should know

Firstly, let’s understand more about how the hair at Safe donor area is removed. Hair is not removed one strand but a graft at a time. The word “graft” refers to a clump of one to four hair strands. One hair follicle on the scalp consists of one graft.

Why do we need to know about hair grafts? After the doctor analyze your hair problem, hair condition and related factors, the appropriate amount of hair graft needed will be calculated. Generally, about 55-60 grafts per square centimeter is recommended because it gives a proper density with a natural look. Too few cannot end the thinning problem but too dense implantation obstructs the nutrient delivery, leading to hair loss.

Importantly, once we understand what a graft means, it’s the time to estimate the number of grafts required so that we can be sure that the price we are about to pay is a truly worthwhile investment.

Fact No.3

Hair transplantation process - A shared journey between a doctor and a patient

Every hair transplant involves a number of detailed steps. If we understand the overall process, we will see a big picture of the changes that will be seen after its completion. As there are many crucial factors and limitations in every single case of hair transplant, a doctor and a patient need to work hand in hand to achieve the mutual goal.

Before starting each individual hair transplant case, the mutual discussion between the doctor and the patient is one of effective key to-do lists. At Namnin, we have aligned to patient-centered approach because the customer satisfaction is our first priority. After the expectation is determined, the initial processes will be performed i.e., facial framing design on the basis of the Golden Ratio principle, and hair graft calculation.

On the day of the hair transplant surgery, the procedure starts by penetrating and removing hair grafts from the back of the head. In this step, Namnin uses the stepped-removal method in which cutting or shaving hair can be forgotten. In addition, with the stepped-removal technique, there is no wound or scar to be concealed. Right after removal, the hair grafts will be put in a solution to preserve the quality. The hair grafts are then trimmed to suit the area where they will be implanted. This implantation is always meticulously performed by the doctor, one graft at a time.

Fact No.4

Why is it important to have a true doctor to perform the hair transplant surgery?

It's definitely important to have a qualified surgeon because the hair transplantation growing requires both medical science and artistic perspective in designing a treatment scheme and a perfect appearance harmoniously. This task therefore requires a true specialist who has sufficient knowledge and expertise.

While undergoing a hair transplant procedure, there are various factors that require extreme caution and attention. This includes the proper and accurate hair insertion, and selection of hair that has the right size and density, varied by scalp areas.

In addition, each hair graft needs to be implanted taking into account the proper direction and angle to guarantee that it will blend in with the native hair. You should note that hair that grew out in the wrong direction cannot be fixed.

Depth is another key factor to focus. The proper depth will ensure that the hair roots are well connected to the scalp, improving the delivery of nutrients. All above are the reasons why the doctor should be the one who performs graft implantation.

Fact No.5

Innovative and standardized equipment

To get the highest satisfaction, the expert doctor also needs excellent assistant that is an equipment. At Namnin, we have utilized the state-of-the-art equipment for penetrating and removing hair grafts from the scalp in order to ensure that the quality of hair graft is preserved well. In addition, an implanter pen, a tiny helper, is used for inserting each hair graft into the scalp at the desired area.

This Implanter Pen helps preserve the quality of the hair follicles that results in increased survival rate. Moreover, it allows the doctor to perform operation fast, meticulously and accurately and control the direction, orientation, and depth more easily. It also reduces pain or swelling which is a side effect in some patients.

This standardized equipment is therefore an important variable that will significantly increase the efficiency and success of hair transplantation.

All of these are five must-knows you need to study before getting a hair transplant so that you could see the overall image of the entire journey. If you are in the middle of making a decision to get a hair transplant, the price should not be your first priority. There are many important factors to consider as well. Please remember, the result of a hair transplant will last for the rest of your life and you have only 1-2 opportunities to undergo hair transplantation, so make a right decision and choose the best solution.

"Stress", a cause of "hair loss"

Every day, we face and struggle with personal problems such as tiring works, educational issues, family problems, and illness. These result in prolonged stress that can have serious long-term impacts on your mental and physical. “Hair loss” is one of them. Can the stress really trigger a hair loss?

Definitely, one of the major causes of hair loss is stress. As our hair is quite sensitive to emotional and hormonal changes that can be triggered by stress, you will face a hair loss resulting from cortisol which is often called the “Stress Hormone”. Stress-related hair loss is categorized into 3 types:

Telogen Effluvium

Telogen effluvium is a condition where trauma or stress causes hair follicles to enter a resting phase. You will notice a large number of hairs falling out, about 2-3 times more than usual, when brushing.

Alopecia Areata

Alopecia Areata is caused by chronic stress, one of the primary reasons. It is a condition that causes bald patches on the scalp, resulting from an autoimmune condition that occurs when the body’s immune system attacks the hair follicles.

Trichotillomania

This type of hair loss is not directly influenced by stress itself but the stress triggers destructive behaviors, also referred to as ‘hair-pulling disorder’. An individual with trichotillomania has a compulsive urge to pull or pluck out the hair from the scalp, eyebrows, or scratch the scalp when under stress or anxiety. Definitely, repeated pulling out of hair causes hair loss. For those who face this problem may need to consult a doctor for an anti-anxiety medication.

What’s more, stress has other adverse effects. For example, it can adversely affect sleep quality and duration, cause a depression, a weakened immune system, and trigger excessive oil production resulting in clogged pores. All of these adverse effects eventually lead to hair loss.

Each time you feel stressed, there are many ways to deal with it. You may take time out to relax your body and mind. Exercising, getting enough sleep, eating a complete and balanced diet, and taking essential vitamins, are simple but effective ways out.

Alternatively, to strengthen the hair and scalp, you can select any of these productive options.

Stop “oily hair” with gentle care

“Oily hair” is characterized by increased greasiness due to excessive amount of sebum produced by the glands of the scalp. Naturally, sebum is an oily substance that helps to hydrate and protect your scalp and hair. However, too much sebum can contribute to oily hair.

Overproduction of sebum varies by different factors including: age-related hormone fluctuations; hormonal changes during puberty; menstruation or pregnancy; behavior and lifestyle like too much or too less hair washing, improper washing and wrong product, and lack of proper care of hair and scalp.

Oily hair not only affects the physical appearance and personality but also leads to scalp problems such as clogged pores, acne or Seb Derm (Seborrheic Dermatitis) if it is left unattended.

Namnin has simple tips that anyone can follow to solve the problem of oily hair that is bothering you.

How to wash your hair properly: Select a shampoo for oily hair and scalp. Apply it to your hair and scalp and massage gently. Work the shampoo through your hair, but pay the attention to the scalp. Rinse your hair and scalp completely. Don’t scratch the scalp as it may cause flaking, cuts, or bleeding. After shampooing, apply the conditioner to your hair and Massage it into the length of your hair, avoiding the scalp. Please be reminded that using the wrong conditioner or incomplete rinsing will make your hair greasy faster.

Wash your hair properly, not too often or too seldom. If you are used to washing hair every day but it makes your hair greasy, try extending to every other day. Selecting another shampoo and conditioner that can help reduce the greasiness of the hair and scalp is suggested as well.

Keep your personal items clean such as hair brushes and combs, towels, shower caps, especially hair brushes and combs which have been used for a long time may be a source of grease or oil residue that causes oily and dirty hair.

Gentle hair nourishment and care can be done easily by yourself when shampooing, combing, styling and daily routine. What to avoid is scratching the scalp and pulling hair because it irritates the scalp and causes overproduction of sebum. If you seek for a gently deep care, Namnin recommends Perfect Hair Treatment that perfectly combines the science of scalp massage and hair treatment to nourish the scalp and rejuvenate the hair gently and deeply.

Namnin Perfect Hair Treatment is a comprehensive spa-like treatment that combines the science of scalp massage to stimulate blood circulation, together with quality hair products selected to help balance the scalp.

Warning signs of “Thinning Hair & Balding”

In general, the symptoms of hair loss, thinning hair, and baldness is a gradual process. And it can occur at a young age. It means that we can notice such symptoms at an early stage. The earlier you notice and consult a doctor, the easier you solve the problem, that's for sure. If you kick off early, the hair regeneration treatments as well as a hair transplant will have a potential to be successfully and satisfactory performed. Moreover, it will give an opportunity to draw a plan for prevention of hair loss, thinning hair and baldness that will occur by aging.

...Let's get to know the small warning sings so that you could check yourself if there is any early sign of hair loss and balding?

Hair shedding is considered a normal condition. Daily, hair that comes to the end of the hair growth cycle fall naturally, about 70 - 100 hair strands a day. It may seem a very small amount when compared with the amount of hair wholly on the head that are about 90,000 - 140,000 hair strands. But if you look at the comb, on a pillow or in the shower, and see the hair falling out in greater numbers, this may be a warning sigh of hair loss.

Every morning when you look in the mirror, try observing the frontal hairline along the forehead to see if it has started receding. Simply check by measuring the distance from the middle of your eyebrows straight up to the middle of your hairline, which should be no wider than 6.5 centimeters.

Mostly in men, M-shaped hairline is the most common hair pattern because the thinning hair always occurs on both temples first. To determine if it is a warning sign of balding, measure the distance from the head of an eyebrow up to the hairline on the temple on the same side, at the deepest M-shaped concave. If the distance obtained is more than 8 centimeters, it can be said that the symptom starts to be worrisome.

Thinning hair on the top of the head: It usually takes several years for thinning hair to develop into baldness. Based on some research studies, Asian men experience thinning hair on the top of the head rather than on the frontal hairline.

Gradually thinning hair all over the head: This could happen as well. As the pattern of hair loss and thinning hair can be said to happen to everyone without any limitation. There is no specific area of problem. However, this pattern is more common in women than men.

While combing or styling your hair, do not forget to pay attention to the hair parting that may be widen until it becomes a prominent parting. This is a good way to spot hair loss and thinning hair in women. If the parting is more than one centimeter wide, it can be deemed an early-stage thinning hair.

Slower hair growth when compared with the past. Normally, our hair grows six inches per year. So whenever you notice that from the last time you had a haircut and it seems to take longer time to have the same length of hair, it is likely to be an effect of declining performance of hair follicular function which results in weak hair and easily-falling out hair.

Last but not least, a warning sign of hair loss and thinning hair may come in the form of a human voice from someone close to you like friends or family members who can notice the normality or abnormality of your hair easier than you do. Don't forget to double check following our recommended methods so that you can start dealing with your hair problems early. Start early before it's too late.

Getting a hair transplant - Why do you have to be attentive to "Hair at Safe Donor Region"?

If you are one of those who is diving into hair transplantation techniques, surely you'll hear the phrase "beneficial hair" (hair grown at the lower back of the head) repeatedly. Why is the beneficial hair such an important factor? Let's make it clearer so that we, together with an expert doctor, can make an effective treatment plan to stop the hair loss and thinning hair smoothly and perfectly.

Each hair strand matters

Each of us has different hair type and condition. Genetic factor plays a role in these differences, such as thinning hair, thick hair, and frizzy hair. Sebum, a natural oil constantly produced by your sebaceous glands, is another significant factor. Excess amounts of it can give you an oily scalp. On the other hand, too less sebum causes a dry scalp. Getting worse when using hot tools and chemicals and exposing your hair to high heat that weakens the hair shaft leading to increased breakage.

Another characteristic that plays the important role in hair transplantation is the density of the hair. Some people have thick hair but some have thin hair. This is determined by follicle (called hair graft) which is a group of hair strands consisting of 1-4 strands. The different number of hair strand in each hair graft influences the availability of beneficial hair located in the safe donor area, which can vary the implantation outcome.

Beneficial hair is the hair grown in the safe donor area that is located at the lower back of the head. Fortunately, the hair grown in the Safe Donor Region has a special property of resistance to DHT hormone (Dihydrotestosterone hormones), which can shrink your hair follicles and shorten the hair growth cycle, resulting in hair loss or even baldness.

Due to the special property of DHT hormone resistance, donor sites are most commonly the scalp areas at the back of the head. Naturally, this special property will be retained regardless of where it is implanted.

However, this healthy beneficial hair is limited in the amount. It is irreplaceable! As previously stated, each person has different amount of beneficial hair located in the safe donor region (some have only 1-2 hair strands per graft), this can be an obstacle that triggers the limitation on hair transplantation.

How to use the beneficial hair productively.

How does an expert doctor analyze and manage the limited beneficial hair for each patient? In the early stages of hair transplantation, your doctor needs to assess the area and severity of your hair loss. Then the amount of hair graft needed will be calculated based on the recipient area. Importantly, the hair grafts to be removed must be accurately calculated for the most effectiveness and worthiness, with a reminder in mind that the beneficial hair is limited and irreplaceable. It needs to be retained for another hair transplantation in case of necessity.

Therefore, the hair grafts must be removed properly and sufficiently to end the problem. In the case that there are some removed hair grafts left, the doctor will implant them all. However, the doctor will do the best not to remove hair grafts redundantly. This is to avoid the appearance problem and to ensure that the patients have sufficient hair grafts for another hair transplantation just in case they need it.

As said before, the beneficial hair is therefore deemed as an important variable in planning a hair transplant. It requires thorough and careful analysis. If you are going to a hair transplantation service recipient, you are recommended to make yourself understand the entire process and various techniques of hair transplantation. Talking and consulting with an export doctor is a helpful way that helps you use, and at the same time, save your preciously limited resources so that the procedure will be performed worthily and effectively.

The right hair transplant with the right doctor Every single strand matters

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.

An effective hair transplant procedure relies on the medical expertise, experience and specialty. Don’t put your expectation on an unreliable person. Please remember that your hair problem ends if you choose things properly. Let Namnin help you find out the right answer for each of you.

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.

One pleasant year, the path to beautiful hair with Namnin

Hair transplantation is not just about inserting a new hair graft into the scalp. It’s not simple like that!

When using the word “plant”, it certainly means “Things take time”. Different phases and stages of a hair transplant are all you need to pay attention to, starting from removing the healthy hair grafts from the back of the head (occipital scalp), implanting meticulously, and looking after properly until the transplanted grafts firmly anchor to the scalp.

To make the newly-transplanted hair cycle live with us permanently for our entire lives, this usually takes one full year of aftercare.

You may wonder, “Why does Namnin have to take up to one year for aftercare?”, “What will happen to our new hair?”, “How difficult is it to take care of ourselves after getting a hair transplant?”, or even, “Will the doctor still be with us until reaching the goal expected?”

Let’s together explore the one-year journey to the gorgeous hair, meeting the “new you” at the finish line....

NEAT

The starting point of meticulousness

... Well begun is half done.... To step into the field of beauty, Namnin is ready to be your supporter to hit the road to the destination of beautiful hair, with the uniquely-designed NEAT technique whose meaning is Namnin’s Exclusive Advanced Hair Transplant Technique.

The dominance of the NEAT technique could be seen at the first step that a patient comes to consult with Dr. Nin. Friendly and attentively, she talks and asks questions to understand the patient’s problem thoroughly. As we are aware that each of our clients comes with different problems, conditions, limitations, needs, and expectations, a fixed formula cannot be used for treatment. All the patient’s information needs to be assessed, analyzed so that a tailor-made personalized treatment will be designed specifically for each case.

During this step, the surgeon checks the availability and readiness of beneficial hair grafts located at the back of the head (occipital scalp), called “Safe Donor Area”, whose special property is durability and falling-resistance. Commonly, the surgeons use hair grafts removed from this safe donor area for implanting into the problem area. The number of hair grafts required must be calculated accurately for the most effective and worthwhile utilization.

In the meantime, the surgeon helps design and draw your new hairline or facial framing, applying the Golden Ratio principle that makes a woman look sweet and gentle, and makes a man look smarter and more masculine. Most importantly, this new facial frame also helps you look younger instantly.

At this starting point, the surgeon starts implanting each hair graft strand by strand to guarantee the neatness of the NEAT procedure performed. This starts from counting, sorting and trimming the hair grafts to be ready for transplantation. To complete this step, a tiny implanter with 0.6 millimeters in sizes is used allowing the precise and gentle insertion of hair grafts.

The surgeon always takes into account various factors that can contribute to the survival and beauty of the newly transplanted, for instance, choosing a right size or even angle of hair appropriate for each recipient area to ensure that it blends in with the native ones. The right number of grafts and the proper depth of placement is another key factor contributing to the success because it influences the delivery of nutrients to hair follicles significantly. These mentioned factors are all rely on advanced medical skills as well as the meticulous practices.

The close monitoring all the way through the hair transplant journey by the True Doctor

After the hair transplant procedure has been completed, the journey of hair care that lasts up to one full year officially begins. That's because the new hair takes time to grow gradually through a natural cycle. However, you will never walk alone! The expert doctor will schedule an appointment to periodically follow up the results of the hair transplantation, and in the meantime provide you some helpful tips to prevent premature hair loss. To achieve the best result, a self-care kit will be provided as well so that you could simply take care of your hair at home.

This is the timeline of natural hair growth cycle that will be constantly monitored by the doctor. During the 2nd week after hair transplantation, stubbles with 2-4 millimeters in length can be observed on the scalp. About two weeks or one month after hair transplantation, newly transplanted hair will fall out resulting from the normal hair growth cycle.

After that in 4th - 6th month, the hair will grow back and grow continuously. In the 9th month, the number of hair strands increases obviously and grows naturally. Within one year after the hair transplant, the hair becomes dense and fully grown.

Stop by to boost your hair with high-quality treatments

After hair transplant, Namnin take care of clients with productive treatment services like LLLT or Low- Level Laser Therapy, with a suitable wavelength in the range of 650 – 680 nm. This red-light therapy stimulates blood flow and improves the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles that results in the enhanced capability of hair follicles. The hair will become denser and stronger. Besides, it also helps in wound healing as well as reducing inflammation for those who have recently undergone hair transplantation.

LLLT is deemed a safe and well-recognized treatment innovation because it utilizes low-frequency waves radiated on the skin tissue or epidermis only without causing any pain or irritation. The side effects can be forgotten.

Another treatment that helps restore the cellular strength is Hair Growth Treatment, which nourishes the hair by stimulating the hair follicles actively, repairing and strengthening the hair follicles to recall a perfect cycle of hair growth.

Hair Growth Treatment - it utilizes the Growth Factor of each patient to promote the function of hair follicles. The patient’s own blood is collected, extracted to get the growth factor, empowered by concentrated vitamins, then injected into the scalp. This treatment is another right choice for those who have undergone a hair transplant as it helps the newly transplanted hair to be thicker, stronger and in the meantime helps the healing process faster. Most importantly, this treatment is safe, non-chemical, non- surgery, and none of recovery is needed. It is therefore a convenient service for hair transplant aftercare.

“The New You”

Cross the finish line beautifully

Although a one-year period sounds like a long journey, it's worth the wait. Especially when having an attentive doctor by your side, who always gives you useful advice, consultation and guidance, you can be sure that what is waiting for you at the destination is the beautiful, dense, strong, healthy and natural- looking hair. Now you can have any hairstyle you love!

Not only that, the friendship between the doctor and patients is another issue which is unanimously approved by our clients. A treatment is not only about a doctor and a patient but also a friend and advisor. One-year period of hair transplantation is now completed. The doctor and the patient are still close friends though.

The reward that awaits you at the finish line is the “New You” who looks younger and good-looking, charming in your own style. Be ready to step out to live your life confidently.

NEAT - the True Worthwhileness in hair transplantation

Hair transplant differs from other types of surgery in that you cannot have it as many times as you want. The most significant factor in hair transplantation is that it needs your own hair which is healthy and strong, and limitedly available at the Safe Zone. The “Safe Zone” or the safe donor area is used to call the area of temples and the lower back of the head. It is about 10-12 inches long and about 3 inches wide, which is about a quarter of the entire scalp. On this safe donor area, there are only about 12,500 hair grafts usable, out of over 50,000 hair grafts.

Why only the hair from the back of the head is useable? That's because the hair in this area is the strongest and most resistant to falling out. The hair follicles in the Safe Zone has a very special property of resistance to DHT (dihydrotestosterone hormone) which causes the hair follicles become smaller, weaker, thinner and shorter, and eventually leads to hair loss, thinning hair, and baldness. Luckily, this special property still remain with the hairs regardless of where they are transplanted.

In the hair transplant process, your doctor will first assess how severe your hair problem is, calculate the exact number of hair grafts to use before removing them. To remove the hair grafts, the appropriate distance of each removal must be precisely defined so that the remaining hair follicles at the safe donor area will not be too few for another hair transplant in case it is needed in the future.

As you know that the number of hair grafts at the Safe Zone is limited, if the area to be transplanted is quite large, only the hair from the safe zone may be insufficient. In the second hair transplant, you may need to use the hair from other areas like the frontal hairline and the top of the head. Accordingly, you have to bear a possible risk of hair falling out, especially if you are experiencing the hereditary hair loss, as the hair follicles which are not from the Safe Zone lack the DHT-resistant property.

Due to the limitation of the strong and healthy hair at the Safe Zone, mostly we can have only 1-2 hair transplants in a lifetime. Importantly you need to study and understand the various methods and techniques clearly before making a decision so that your first hair transplantation can give you the most “worthwhile” results.

Healthy Hair with LLLT

Currently, new innovations have been invented continually for the excellent hair nourishment and treatment. LLLT is one of the best-known innovations. You may have heard this name but doubt its performance.

...Let's clear up any doubts or misconceptions about LLLT you may still have.

Low Level Laser Therapy or LLLT is a form of medicine that applies low-level (low-power) lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to the surface of the body. The optimal wavelength is in the range of 650 - 680 nm (visible in red with the naked eye).

When the laser therapy is performed on the scalp area, it will stimulate hair follicles and hair growth by boosting blood circulation to optimize the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles and improve the cell functionality, which is the heart of healthy hair. This brings us the denser and healthier hair.

The solid result to come is the faster growth of hair, lesser hair fall and denser hair. With LLLT, hair loss and thinning hair caused by hereditary factors, abnormalities of the scalp and hormones influence can be cured safely. However the result varies by different condition of scalp and original hair, color of the scalp and hair, including the hair density.

Beneficially, this low-level laser also helps nourish the scalp especially after you have recently undergone hair transplantation. It can stimulate the healing of wounds on the scalp as well as reduce inflammations influencing the hair regeneration and fall.

Before undergoing LLLT therapy, washing hair is suggested for a better result. LLLT treatment is recommended to be performed with a frequency of 2-3 sessions per week at 15-30 minutes each time. To reach the expected result, the patients should continually undergo LLLT therapy for 4-6 months. However, please keep in mind that too much LLLT therapy can cause dry scalp.

LLLT treatment only stimulates cell growth and supercharges hair follicles without any new hair follicle increased, as a result, this treatment is not the right solution for those who are experiencing severe baldness (no hair roots remains).

LLLT therapy is recognized as a safe and standard technology without any side effects because it applies low-frequency waves to stimulate the hair follicles all over the scalp (on its surface only). It also does not cause irritation or pain during the exposure.

LLLT treatment is an effective innovation selected by "Namnin" to be an optimal choice for those who are experiencing hair loss, recently have undergone hair transplantation, or having a shock loss after hair transplantation. Your weak or damaged hair follicles will be repaired and boosted resulting in healthy and dense hair recalled.

“Hair Thinning” from “A habit of pulling out” A signal of a psychiatric disorder

In some cases, hair loss and thinning is not caused by heredity but behavioral disorder or physical or mental illness. We may notice that we ourselves or those around us have a habit of “repeatedly hair-pulling out” (compulsive hair pulling). Some people pull out their hair intentionally to relieve tension or distress but some pull out their hair without even realizing they're doing it, such as when they are enjoying doing things. Did you know that this habit of hair-pulling is a symptom of a psychiatric disorder known as “Trichotillomania” or “Hair-pulling disorder”?

“Trichotillomania” is a condition that gives some people strong urges to pull out their own hair repeatedly, both intentionally and unintentionally. It is classified as an obsessive-compulsive related disorder. In addition, it may be caused by other conditions such as depression, anxiety, stress, chemical imbalances in the brain, scalp disease or even heredity.

Besides the hair, people with trichotillomania also pull hair out at the root from places like eyebrows, eyelashes, or even beard and mustache. Although this condition affects the personality and mental state, it hasn’t been well recognized in Thailand. Only few patients have seen a doctor to get a treatment.

To take a closer look at the symptoms of "Trichotillomania" or “Hair-pulling disorder”, it is categorized into two types:

Conscious (focused) hair pulling

The patient will concentrate and focus on pulling out their hair under different circumstances. Some people may have cumulative stress or anxiety. Some feel itchy and uncomfortable. Some may just see that the hair looks not smooth. When their hair are pulled out, they feel better, more relaxed, and relieved.

Unconscious (automatic) hair pulling

This type often occurs during doing or enjoying activities such as watching TV, reading books, or working, and then pulling out the hair unintentionally.

However, most cases are mixed hair-pulling behavior. The patients do not pulling out their hair continuously for a long period of time, but repeatedly and frequently do. Some patients may not admit to their condition.

Regarding the consequences of this hair-pulling behavior, the distinctive one is losing self-image, followed by anxiety, stress or depression. Worse than that, some patients may eat their own hair that adversely affects the intestinal function. Moreover, repeated hair-pulling out may cause deformed and unhealthy hair due to scalp inflammation, and lead to hair thinning or bald patches.

Patients with “trichotillomania” or “hair-pulling disorder” can either try themselves to change or seek medical treatment, depending on the severity of symptoms as follows:

In the event that a patient is unaware of this disorder or have an unconscious (automatic) hair pulling behavior, what to do first is to make such patient accept his/her disorder. Then the control of their behavior can begins.

Patients and those close to them should mutually observe and point out when and in which circumstance the hair-pulling behavior tend to occur, for instance, when bored, sad, or stressed, or during doing any activity. This helps us handle the patient behavior more precisely.

Avoid scolding or complaining the patients because it may cause them more frequently pull out their hair. The best way is to use the proper warning methods.

Attempting to evoke the behavior change could heal some patients. However, some may need to go see a doctor for a specific symptom assessment or figuring out the mental disorders. The doctor may prescribe a medication as well. “Trichotillomania” or “hair-pulling disorder” should be treated as early as possible because the younger patient means the easier treatment to complete. One of the ways to restore your attractive appearance and recall your confidence is “hair transplantation” by a medical professional. Your pulled-out hair will be replaced naturally with the new dense and healthy hair. Then the patient with trichotillomania becomes ready for any other proper medical treatment.
