What are the things to consider before deciding to have a hair transplant? Today we will present 6 important things to consider before deciding to have a hair transplant.
1. The most important thing is the patient’s problem. The service recipient should know first what the hair root problem is. And what kind of treatment should be given? Is it really necessary to treat with permanent hair transplant? Permanent hair transplant will treat baldness or adjust the face frame.

If it is thinning hair, hair loss cannot be treated with permanent hair transplantation. For hair loss problems, if the recipient still has hair loss, the doctor will recommend treatment to stop hair loss first. Because if hair still falls out, after the hair transplant, hair can still fall out. As a result, permanent hair transplantation does not give the desired results.
If it is a problem of thin hair, most people with thin hair tend to have thin hair all over their heads, which results in the hair roots at the nape of the neck being harvested being thin and thin as well. If we harvest hair roots that are thin and thin to transplant, it may result in the hair not growing or growing in a way that is thin and cannot cover the scalp, resulting in not getting the desired results. Including the area around where the hair will be transplanted, if there is a problem of thin hair, hair transplantation will increase the density of the hair roots, but will not be able to help the hair in the original area that is thin and thin become thicker. The appropriate treatment for thin hair is to use medication to make the hair thicker, which will give more satisfactory results than hair transplantation.
2. Is the condition of the patient’s hair roots suitable for hair transplantation? This is another important point that is consistent with the first point. In patients with general thin hair, hair is not suitable for hair transplantation because the hair roots at the nape of the neck that will be collected tend to be thin and thin as well. If we collect hair roots that are thin and thin to transplant, it may result in the transplanted hair not growing or growing in a way that is too thin to cover the scalp, resulting in not getting the desired results. Factors that cause hair roots to be weak and thin include age, genetics, and smoking. If these factors are present, the patient should receive medication first to nourish the hair roots to be strong for a period of 3-6 months before bringing the hair roots at the nape of the neck for hair transplantation.

3. Age of the recipient. Normally, when people get older, the tendency of hair root problems will increase. As a result, it is necessary to use more hair grafts for planting. At the same time, the condition of our hair roots tends to deteriorate with age and the quantity also decreases. Therefore, age is an important factor in determining whether we should have a hair transplant when we are not too old and not too young. Because planting more hair than necessary in a young person will result in a decrease in the quantity of hair roots at the back of the head. It may not be possible to have hair transplants in the future if it is necessary to have a second or third round.

4. How many grafts are needed? One important concept for considering the number of grafts is that people should transplant as little hair as necessary or Minimal Necessary because the patient should reserve hair roots in the future in case there is a need to transplant hair again in the future in the 2nd or 3rd round.
5. Post-hair transplant care: How to take care of it? Another important point is to choose continuous treatment after hair transplant to preserve the original hair or Natural Hair. This part will be treated by using medicine, including oral medicine, topical medicine or injection medicine, which is important in preventing hair loss and future hairline recession to reduce the risk of having to have a second round of hair transplant.

6. The results and experience of the doctor who actually performs the hair transplant Since permanent hair transplantation is a major procedure that takes a long time to treat, and there are many factors that affect the results of the treatment, the teamwork of the medical team is an important part, including the experience of the medical team. Therefore, service recipients should choose a clinic where they can meet and discuss with the doctor about the details of the treatment, including meeting and talking with the doctor who actually performs the hair transplant procedure, and seeing examples of cases that the doctor has actually transplanted and succeeded at the clinic.

For those who want to have a hair transplant, you can consult a doctor at a clinic in the MP network first. The doctor will examine the condition of the hair roots and talk to the service recipient in detail about the expectations of the service recipient so that the service recipient has complete information to help them decide.
