この記事の概要

For those who are concerned about thinning hair, those who have had no effect with hair growth products, and those who have various other hair concerns, this section introduces the features, advantages and disadvantages of the three hair transplants offered at HIRO CLINIC, as well as the process of the procedure.

Hiro Clinic offers three types of hair transplants

Many people who are troubled by thinning hair are interested in autologous hair transplantation , which involves transplanting their own hair into the thinning areas . There are two main types of autologous hair transplantation : the FUT method, in which hair follicles are isolated and transplanted one by one, and the FUE method, in which hair follicles are extracted one by one using a special punching device.

Hiro Clinic offers three hair transplant methods to suit the needs of each patient . Each method has different characteristics, allowing you to choose an effective approach to hair loss treatment. There are three options: Natural Pro Non-shave method, Natural Pro Shave method, and PRP therapy. Hiro Clinic will suggest the most suitable treatment method based on your symptoms and wishes.

The Natural Pro method is a hair transplant technique that is an advanced version of the FUE method, which is a hair transplant using your own hair . One of its features is that it is less painful and leaves smaller scars after surgery.

1.Natural Pro Non-shave method

The Natural Pro Non-shave method is a hair transplant method that does not require cutting the hair . Hair follicles are carefully extracted one by one from the scalp and transplanted into the thinning areas . Hair follicles from the donor area (usually the back of the head) are harvested with a small punch tool, resulting in very small scars and quick recovery. Approximately 2500 hairs can be transplanted at one time , and if more are required , a second surgery will be performed on a different day. This method is recommended for those who want to maintain a natural look.

2.Natural Pro Shave Method

The Natural Pro Shave method is a hair transplant method that involves shaving the hair . The Natural Pro Shave method is characterized by its shorter surgery time and lower costs compared to the non-shave method. As with the non-shave method, hair follicles are taken from the donor area and transplanted into the thinning area . Approximately 2,500 hairs can be transplanted at one time , and if more than this number are required , another surgery is required. The Natural Pro Shave method is a good choice for those who value cost-effectiveness.

3. PRP Therapy

PRP therapy is a treatment that uses platelets extracted from your own blood to promote hair growth. Your blood is collected, centrifuged to concentrate the platelets, and then injected into the thinning areas. PRP improves the health of your hair roots and supports hair growth. Treatment requires multiple visits over several months, but is an effective method for those looking to regrow their hair naturally. Anesthesia is used to reduce pain, so you can receive treatment with peace of mind.

Advantages and Disadvantages of the Natural Pro Method

The Natural Pro method is a hair transplant method that achieves a natural look . While the Natural Pro method offers long-term results and a natural finish, it also has disadvantages such as high costs and long recovery periods. It is important to take these points into consideration when choosing a treatment.

merit

The biggest advantage of the Natural Pro method is that it uses your own hair, so the results look very natural. The transplanted hair will continue to grow for the rest of your life, making it a long-term solution to hair loss treatment. Once the transplant is successful, natural hair will last with little to no special care. Another advantage is that the Natural Pro Non-shave method, which does not cut the hair, and the Natural Pro Shave method, which is less noticeable, hide the scalp after the transplant with hair, so the scars of the surgery are less noticeable.

Disadvantages

On the other hand, the disadvantage of the Natural Pro method is the high cost of treatment. This can increase even more, especially if large-scale transplants are required. It is also important to consider that full recovery can take several weeks to several months, which will impose certain restrictions on your life during that time. In addition, the limited amount of hair in the donor area may not be enough for extensive hair loss . The surgery also carries the risk of infection, bleeding, and the loss of some of the transplanted hair .

Advantages and disadvantages of PRP therapy

PRP therapy is a treatment that uses platelets extracted from one’s own blood to promote hair growth. This method is characterized by a wide range of applications and relatively mild side effects, but the risks and costs must also be considered.

merit

The advantage of PRP therapy is that it can be applied to both men and women, and it can be expected to be effective for various types of thinning hair . Since PRP therapy uses the patient’s own blood, there is a low risk of allergic reactions and it is considered to be highly safe. In addition, since PRP therapy does not involve surgery, there is relatively little pain or recovery time, and it hardly interferes with daily life. In addition, it has the effect of improving the health of hair roots and promoting hair growth, so you can expect long-term improvement in thinning hair .

Disadvantages

The disadvantages of PRP therapy are that, although side effects are mild, temporary swelling, redness, and pain may occur at the injection site. In addition, post-treatment care is required, and it often takes several months for results to appear. In addition, PRP therapy often requires multiple treatments, which is time-consuming and expensive.

The process of hair transplant treatment at Hiro Clinic

At Hiro Clinic, we provide hair transplant treatment tailored to each individual patient. The treatment is divided into several steps, from pre-treatment counseling to donor cell collection and graft transplantation. Specialists provide careful support at each step, aiming for natural, satisfying results.

Pre-treatment counselling

During the pre-treatment consultation, we ask patients to bring family photos (especially photos of relatives with a history of hair loss) to confirm their family history. We also ask for details about the hairstyle they want and the area to be transplanted. This is because the number of hair follicles required varies depending on the area to be transplanted , so we carefully consider how much hair to transplant in which area . In addition, we measure the hair density in the donor area to confirm how much hair can be transplanted . Through this consultation, we provide the best treatment plan for the patient.

Deciding and voting on the treatment date

Once counseling is complete, we will decide on the date for the actual treatment. We will book the treatment date according to the patient’s schedule and proceed with the necessary preparations before the surgery. We will also take a blood sample before the surgery to check your health. This will ensure that we are fully prepared to provide a safe and effective treatment. Before the scheduled treatment date, we will instruct the patient on the appropriate care and prepare to get the best results.

Collection of donor lines

On the day of the procedure, local anesthesia is administered and the collection of donor grafts begins. A specialized machine with a diameter of about 1 mm is used to remove hair roots from the back and sides of the head, where hair loss is less likely to occur, and the grafts are harvested. In the case of the shave method, the donor and recipient areas are shaved, leaving about 1 mm of hair between them, but the non-shave method is characterized by the fact that the hair is harvested without being shaved. Both methods ensure high-quality grafts while minimizing the burden on the patient.

Graft transplantation

The harvested donor hair (graft) is carefully transplanted into the thinning hair area During this process, utmost care is taken to ensure that the transplanted hair looks natural. The scars on the donor area will heal naturally and will become barely noticeable within a week. The transplanted hair will grow and blend in with the original hair, providing a natural and satisfying result for the patient.

summary

Hiro Clinic offers hair transplantation methods tailored to the needs of each patient . Each treatment, such as the Natural Pro method and PRP therapy, has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to choose the most suitable treatment through proper counseling. In addition, by carefully following the precautions before and after the procedure, you can minimize risks and achieve safe and effective results.

At Hiro Clinic, our experienced specialists use the latest technology to achieve a natural finish. If you are considering hair transplantation , please feel free to contact us. We will help you resolve your hair problems and regain your confidence.
