To be Number 1 on a roll
Making a career last longer with hair transplantation
You probably know Sumeth Ong-Art or Khun Met who is a talented artist and actor with a casual, friendly, and affectionate look. Before getting hair transplantation at Namin Clinic, he rarely paid attention to his own hair problems!!
“Actually, I didn't really notice my hair problem. I just felt itchy on my head and saw my hair falling out, it didn’t worry me though. I thought that I was about to turn 50 and would be retired in a little while, switching to doing background work. So it didn’t matter to me.”
And this was the turning point that made Khun Met realized his hair problem and stood up to defeat it at the age of 51.
“During the coronavirus (COVID -19) outbreak, my staff set up a live streaming, without makeup and hair styling at all. During that time, my hair was quite long that made the thinning or balding area obvious, especially on the forehead (frontal hairline) and at temples, as well as on the back of the head. So the staff said “Khun Met, you should do something. It's too thin."
Khun Meth got advices from the people around him, saying that there was still a way to make his career last longer. With his acting ability, we often see Khun Met playing the role of fathers. Khun Met thinks that if he could end his problem, he could be one on a roll.
“As everyone said ‘Hey bro, you can still be famous for many more years’. When I met my friends, colleagues, or respected persons, they said that if I could maintain my hair, do it now. When the hair was still on your head, your career would last longer (decades). So I thought that if it was good for my job, it would be worth getting the hair transplantation. Frankly, I didn’t want to play the role of grandfathers (as there were fewer scenes and chances).”
Namnin Clinic was the only option that Khun Met had chosen because he saw his friends and colleagues in the entertainment industry who had undergone hair transplantation with the satisfactory results (they looked younger) (Khun Met imagined that he might become a main character instead of fathers, if he looked much younger after hair transplantation) The impression with Dr. Nin's treatment is another reason.
“I talked with Dr. Nin about the treatment procedure. It was so good. She explained the treatment process easily to be understood. The whole process looked safe and there was side effect.”
Khun Met shared his experience on the day of undergoing hair transplantation. He said that it was a treatment in a comfortable atmosphere. After local anesthetic injection, it didn't hurt at all. Dr. Nin supervised and handled every step carefully, especially when using a 0.6 mm device (implanter pen) in graft placement process. It took full 10 hours on that day. The recovery time was shorter than he thought.
“I resumed my work the next 2 days. After hair transplantation, I stayed home for a day but it was not like a patient who had undergone an invasive surgery. I did my everyday activities with an extra care of the head. That’s all. Then the next day, I went to work, filming 2 works of drama series.
Talking about the results of treatment, Khun Met said that there was no wound in the transplanted area. Apart from that, the wounds in the donor area could be concealed with hair easily. Today, his hair almost grows perfectly.
“Now my head is full of healthy hair. Only a few grafts falling out. I think it's ok now. Dr.Nin told me that the newly grown hair is definitely strong and healthy because it is removed from the lower back of the head where the healthiest hair grows. Anyway the native hair existing requires a good care as well.”
His fans, now, can be sure that they will definitely see him on various entertainment channels and media, showing off his dense and healthy hair for a long time.
“To me, hair helps my career last longer. Let’s say that I’ll have a job to do without a retirement date (as this job feeds me and my family). I can work until age 70 - 80. I’m sure that my body is strong and healthy enough. The only concern is the hair that makes me look old or young. So having the real hair is the best.”
