Permanent hair transplant surgery is a minor surgery that takes up to 10 hours, and in a person’s lifetime, they can only have 3 full hair transplants. In addition, human hair roots that can be used for hair transplants are limited and cannot grow back. Therefore, choosing a good hair transplant clinic is very important. Choosing a good hair transplant clinic will help those receiving treatment receive safe and satisfactory results.
3 Guidelines for Choosing a Hair Transplant Clinic
1. Have a discussion and consultation with the doctor who will perform the hair transplant directly Since hair transplantation is a medical treatment, patients should have a discussion, consultation, assessment, and direct advice from the doctor who will perform the hair transplant in order to receive complete and correct information and prevent miscommunication through a middleman. Also, in cases where there are doubts or different expectations, patients will be able to talk and ask questions directly to the doctor.
2. Know the exact amount of grafts to be planted Because A person can have a hair transplant 3 times in their life because we have a limited number of hair grafts. In reality, each hair transplant has a limited number of grafts. Therefore, buffet hair transplants do not exist and are a misunderstanding. Collecting too many grafts will result in the scalp at the back of the head (Donor Area) having thin hair because the grafts that have been collected will not grow back to replace them.
Therefore, every hair transplant requires the doctor to assess and calculate the grafts in detail.
- There should be a camera to examine the hair roots to assess the health and readiness of the hair grafts in the nape of the neck.
- Calculate the amount of grafts that need to be kept to be “enough” for a hair transplant with natural density.
- Calculate the amount of grafts that need to be kept to “Not too much” that the nape of the neck looks thin
- The precise calculation of the amount of grafts makes the use of hair graft resources forpatientspatientssave time and save costs
Patients should therefore know how many grafts were actually collected and planted on the day of the hair transplant, because this information is an important part of the medical history that patients should keep with them in case they need to seek treatment from another doctor in the future, so that they can provide accurate information.
3. There is a discussion about the use of drugs Drug treatment is an important part of treatment in conjunction with hair transplantation because the use of drugs helps strengthen the hair roots, preventing hair loss and making the hair roots stronger and thicker, which will result in a higher rate of hair grafts growing. It also prevents hair loss in the long term after hair transplantation, allowing the transplanted hair to stay with the patient for a longer period, reducing the need for repeated hair transplants in the second round.
