From Patient to the First Student… ‘Dr.Warut’ guarantees
Effective hair transplantation is an Art
“The perfect result of hair transplantation relies on the doctor’s competence and ability. Hair transplantation is like a work of art, it requires the skills of a skilled artist.”
This is Dr. Warut Hompoonsap's confirmation that the hair transplantation is both a "science" and an "art". Dr. Warut, a general surgeon and a clinic owner, is not only one of the patients who underwent hair transplantation with Dr. Nin, but also the first student of NEAT (Namnin’s Exclusive Advanced Hair Transplant Technique) Training Course. Let's listen to Dr. Warut sharing his experience of transforming himself to look brand new.
“Originally I have a big forehead since birth. But it became evident at the age of 24-25. As my frontal hair moved backwards, it made the hair styling difficult. At that time I could that my face changed when the wind blew. Besides, when I took off the surgical cap, my hair looked flat. I am an easy-going man and don’t like hair styling. The hair problem became my difficulty, inconvenience, and destroyed my confidence.”
Previously, Dr. Warut had tried applying and taking some medicines hoping his hair problem would be solved. The medications help the new hair grow but it was just small thin hairs (stubble). Besides, there was no hair grown on his problem area (forehead). As Dr. Warut had known Dr. Nin well, he began to consult her about his anxiety. That was when the idea of hair transplant popped up.
“Dr. Nin showed me photos of her patients. What I saw was the wounds were very small. They looked much better. Dr. Nin gave me a lot of good advices while taught me many useful matters, such as the theory of hair transplantation, the proper density, what was good for men, what was right for women, including the originated and the latest techniques used in hair transplantation. Dr. Nin explained everything clearly and sincerely. She would say ‘No” to what was not right for each patient.
...I saw that 80-90% of those got the successful result so I thought it had to be good and last long.”
Dr. Nin began the procedure with designing the area to be transplanted, asking the patient the facial frame preferred in order to ensure that the patient’s expectation would be achieved. After that, Dr. Nin would supervise and oversee every step of hair transplantation, including local anesthetics injection, removing hair grafts by the professional assistants (for Dr. Warut's case, approximate 2,200 hair grafts were removed and implanted), and graft placement which required the meticulousness of Dr.Nin.
“During the graft placement process, Dr. Nin carried out this process by herself because she wanted to ensure that the hair grafts were inserted properly with the right number. Too many or too few hair grafts might lead to low survival rate and dissatisfactory result. This was all about Dr. Nin’s task.”
Importantly, he could continue his activities, work, or everyday routines right after the procedure.
“During the first two days, there was a little lymph and a few scabs, but it was not a problem at all. I could join the Dr.Nin’s hair transplantation training course the next day.”
Dr. Warut said that he was a bit anxious about the output. Especially during the “Shock Loss” stage when the new kept falling out naturally for consecutive 3-4 months. However, his hair regrew like Dr.Nin confirmed.
“It's dense and healthy. I think right now the grafts are perfectly embedded for over 90% and blend in my native hair naturally. When I take a shower, I don't feel weird or any difference.”
As the first student of Dr. Nin’s training course, Dr. Warut shared his impression with Dr. Nin. He told that Dr. Nin was very friendly. If you have any question or doubt, you can ask her. Her teaching technique was very interesting. The training participants had an opportunity to learn and study from the actual cases. Dr. Warut is planning to apply the knowledge and skills gained to help other people solve their hair problems.
“I think the hair transplant isn’t a too difficult science but it has a lot of details. Imagine that you are implanting 2,000 hair grafts, the designing is the key factor of successful or unsuccessful result. It's all about art.”
