Hiro Clinic Hair Transplant
Hiro Clinic recommends Natural Pro FUE treatment, which can be used on hairless areas where oral medication or injection therapy is ineffective, and leaves barely noticeable scars. Hair roots are harvested from the back of the head and partially shaved, making post-operative care easier, and only the required number of hairs are transplanted with a natural finish. It is a same-day procedure using local anesthesia, and provides gentle, gradual hair growth at an affordable price, making it a safe option in Japan.
