FAQs

Hairline design combines aesthetic science and artistry. At our Bangkok hair loss clinic, physicians specialize in creating hairlines suited to each individual, considering age, facial structure, and patient expectations. Our specialists are ready to help design your ideal hairline to restore youthfulness, boost confidence, and enhance your appearance. However, hairline design may have limitations, so patients should plan and consult with physicians beforehand.

The average person has over 100,000 hairs on their scalp, cycling through growth and shedding phases. During this cycle, losing 100-150 hairs daily is normal. In healthy individuals, most lost hairs regrow within 3-4 months. This natural process occurs in everyone and isn't cause for concern.
However, if you notice significant thinning or lose more than 200 hairs daily, you should consult Bangkok Hair Clinic for evaluation to determine the underlying cause and prevent progression that could affect your confidence.

FUT and FUE involve transplanting hair follicles from the permanent donor area at the back of the head to the desired recipient areas.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) or "Strip Surgery" is a long-established method involving surgical removal of a strip of scalp containing healthy hair follicles from the donor area. These follicles are then divided and transplanted to recipient areas, providing permanent results with follicles resistant to future loss. Due to the surgical nature, FUT leaves a small horizontal scar that can be concealed by growing hair.
Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) is a modern, widely-used technique offering excellent results without surgery. Similar to FUT but using individual follicle extraction from the donor area, FUE creates tiny 0.6-0.8mm wounds that heal within the first week without sutures. After 3-6 months, donor area hair grows back to provide full coverage, making this the preferred choice for most patients.

Implanter pens are specialized tools for the final hair transplantation phase (Implantation) of both FUE and FUT procedures. After graft extraction, these grafts are carefully inserted into the specially designed pen tip and directly implanted into the scalp. This process is sometimes referred to as Direct Hair Implantation (DHI).
Implanter technology increases graft survival rates by 10-15% compared to traditional FUE methods, as these specialized instruments reduce mechanical trauma that can occur during transfer, gripping, and implantation with standard medical forceps. The Implanter pen's precise design and smaller size, specifically engineered for hair graft implantation, ensures optimal fit—neither too loose nor too tight— resulting in complete grafts and denser implantation.

One of the most critical factors in hair transplantation is minimizing the time grafts spend outside the body during transfer from the donor area to the recipient area. The shorter the out-of-body time, the higher the graft survival rate.

At Bangkok Hair Clinic, our specialized physicians employ a proprietary methodology using custom-designed graft organizing containers. This ensures that grafts extracted first are implanted first, minimizing their time outside the body. Additionally, we use specially imported graft storage solutions that simulate body conditions, maintaining graft viability before implantation. This comprehensive approach ensures superior efficiency compared to other transplant clinics.

These permanent hair transplant procedures are generally suitable for healthy individuals of all ages and genders. However, patients should understand that hair transplantation isn't appropriate for all types of hair loss or conditions. Our physicians at Bangkok Hair Clinic offer free consultations, detailed scalp examinations, analysis, and diagnosis to determine the most effective treatment approach for optimal results.

We encourage you to schedule a free consultation to receive a professional diagnosis and comprehensive information about treatment options, ensuring confidence before proceeding with transplantation.

At Bangkok Hair Clinic, our medical team is committed to delivering optimal results for every patient. Our surgeons have over 10 years of experience designing hairlines appropriate for age, ethnicity, and gender. With a deep understanding of natural hair characteristics, they prioritize treatments considering multiple factors while ensuring new hairline directions align with existing hair patterns for noticeable improvements.

One of our most frequently asked questions has a reassuring answer: there's minimal discomfort. We've developed gentle, swift anesthetic injection techniques for transplantation procedures and work with meticulous care to prevent unnecessary trauma or discomfort for patients.

We prioritize ensuring patients feel relaxed, stress-free, and confident throughout their pre- and post-transplant experience. We believe that hair restoration can be life-changing without requiring significant discomfort.

In all cases, hair transplant results at Bangkok Hair Clinic achieve a density of 40-50 grafts per square centimeter using the Micrograft technique.

During consultation, physicians evaluate the donor area to calculate available transplantable hair follicles while avoiding over-harvesting that could thin the donor region. Physicians may recommend reduced density for patients with extensive thinning or depleted donor areas, to ensure effective and appropriate treatment outcomes.

Transplanted hairs continue to grow naturally like normal hair since they're transferred from the permanent zone at the back and sides of the head. Hair from these areas remains unaffected by dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for hereditary male pattern baldness.

Treatment can only utilize one's own hair follicles due to the body's immune response, which would reject follicles from other individuals, similar to organ transplant rejection with hearts or kidneys. However, you can transplant follicles from different areas of your body to various locations as needed.

The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery wants potential patients to understand that completely scarless hair transplantation doesn't exist, regardless of technique. While surgical scarring is inevitable, it can be minimized or concealed. At Bangkok Hair Clinic, we understand patients' concerns about scarring and employ refined techniques to help conceal any marks, ensuring confidence without worry about visible scars.

The number of treatment sessions depends on the severity of hair thinning, area size, desired density, and physician assessment. Typically, one surgical session can safely transplant 2,500-3,500 grafts. Physicians determine appropriate graft numbers to prevent donor area thinning (over-harvesting). For patients requiring more grafts than available from the donor area, treatment may be divided into two sessions spaced one year apart, allowing full scalp recovery between sessions. Each session takes approximately 6-8 hours, depending on case complexity.

FUT, FUE, and DHI techniques carry minimal risk of complications, especially when performed by highly experienced physicians. However, patients should understand potential risks before proceeding. Common complications may include:

• Facial swelling within 24 hours to 1 week post-surgery
• Allergic reactions to anesthesia or medications
• Numbness in donor or recipient areas (typically resolving within 6 months)
• Infection (<1%) or bleeding
• Natural healing processes requiring careful aftercare

Bangkok Hair Clinic's specialized physicians provide comprehensive pre- and post-care guidelines to ensure confident self-care throughout recovery.

Within 24 hours post-treatment, patients notice scalp scabbing in the recipient area as part of natural wound healing. These scabs shed within 4-14 days post-transplant. Transplanted roots secure firmly during the first two weeks, followed by natural shedding around week 4. New hair growth begins between weeks 10-16, with each transplanted follicle following its natural growth cycle thereafter.
