Flow on the day of treatment – Natural Pro
medical examination
After completing the reception, you will first change into your surgical clothes. After that, you will be examined by the doctor in charge. After interviewing you about your physical condition on the day of the procedure, we will go over the details of your application, including the number of grafts to be transplanted, the extent of hair transplantation, and the design of the grafts.
(restaurant) bill
After your consultation, you will be asked to pay your bill. Payment can be made in cash or by credit card.
Pre-treatment and marking
You will be transferred to the operating room. The transplant site will be marked and prepared. In addition to the physician, several staff members are assigned to the preparation.
Mowing of the collection area
Basically, the occipital and temporal areas where grafts are to be harvested are clipped.
In the case of the non-shave method, the back of the head is not clipped.
Anesthesia prior to graft harvesting
Sedatives may be used to ease the physical and psychological burden. You will be in a dozing state. Local anesthesia is administered to the cropped occipital area where the grafts will be harvested. The anesthesia is injected with consideration for pain.
Collection of grafts (transplants)
Using a micro-punch blade, the grafts are quickly extracted by the doctor and several staff members.
*Since the anesthesia is well administered, you will not feel any pain.The harvested grafts are kept in the best condition based on research.
*The number of staff will vary depending on the number of grafts.
Mowing of the transplant area
Basically, the area to be grafted is clipped with clippers.
Depending on the fee, there may be cases where the grafts will not be clipped.
Anesthesia of the transplanted area
You will be asked to sit up, and then local anesthesia will be administered to the area where hair will be transplanted. To ensure that the anesthesia is effective and painless, we use different types of anesthesia depending on the patient’s constitution.
Transplantation of harvested hair
Each graft is an organ that produces hair. To ensure speedy hair transplantation, which is the key to a high hair growth rate, multiple staff members are used to transplant grafts. To avoid damaging the graft tissue, an implanter is used to push the grafts out with air pressure instead of grabbing them directly with tweezers or other instruments.
Postoperative Treatment
After disinfection and confirmation that the bleeding has stopped, the patient will return home. Gauze will be applied if necessary.
