Goals of Natural Pro
Natural Pro hair transplant techniques aim to provide a minimally surgical approach, natural looking results and high transplant success rates, which shortens the patient’s recovery time and minimizes the impact on their post-operative life.
Requirements for Natural Pro
To perform minimally invasive hair transplant techniques, certain requirements must be met, such as harvesting the grafts by direct anatomical extraction , which allows for the minimally invasive harvesting of healthy hair tissue.
Advantages of Natural Pro
Minimally invasive hair transplant techniques offer many benefits to patients, including a shorter post-operative recovery period, minimal scarring, and a natural appearance, which increases patient satisfaction and improves their quality of life after surgery.
- Do not use a scalpel
- Possible even on stiff scalps or scalps with little mobility
- Short recovery period
- No special care of the extraction site is required
- The scratches are small and not noticeable
- Less pain
- High densityIt is transplantable and gives a natural finish.
- No need to visit a hospital
Flow and Key Points of Natural Pro
Preoperative preparation
Contraindications
Preoperative care includes a clear definition of the indications and contraindications for surgery, including which patients are good candidates for surgery and which should not undergo surgery.
- Health problems
- Severe heart disease, diabetes, bleeding disorders, autoimmune diseases (e.g. alopecia areata), etc.
- Scalp and hair condition
- If there is a lack of hair in the donor area, inflammation or infection of the scalp, or progressive hair loss
- Psychological factors
- Unrealistic expectations, severe mental illness (e.g. depression)
- Temporary situation
- Pregnancy/breastfeeding, taking anticoagulants, sunburn or skin damage
- Lifestyle
- Smoking and excessive alcohol use (which can decrease the success of surgery)
If these apply to you, surgery should be carefully considered.
Surgical planning
Hair line
As part of the surgical planning, the line of the transplanted hair will be determined, depending on the patient’s facial shape and individual features.
Area Calculation
Surgical planning involves calculating the size and shape of the grafted area, which involves assessing the shape and size of the recipient area and determining the appropriate graft area.
Determining the number of hair units or hairs in the donor area
During the surgical planning process, we determine the number of hair units or hairs to be harvested from the donor area, which allows us to accurately calculate the amount of grafts required .
Implant planning and quantity calculation
The surgical plan will take into account the volume and density of the hair to be transplanted and calculate the number of grafts required , ensuring that the materials necessary for a successful transplant are adequately prepared.
Determining the diameter of the hair shaft
The surgical plan will determine the diameter of the hair shaft to be transplanted, which will ensure that the transplanted hair has a natural appearance.
Surgical management
Surgical management considers many aspects related to how surgery is performed in the operating room and patient safety. Important factors include monitoring the patient during surgery and cleanliness of the operating room.
Patient’s desired surgical site
Patient-specific part: Surgery
This section focuses on your unique needs and requests. Prior to surgery, a surgical plan will be tailored based on your individual circumstances and wishes. This will take into account your hair condition, face shape and desired look.
Obtaining explicit patient consent
Prior to surgery, explicit consent must be obtained from the patient. The doctor will explain the risks and benefits of the procedure, expected outcomes, and alternatives to the patient, and ensure that the patient understands and agrees. This will ensure that the patient’s consent is obtained and that the procedure is ethically and legally appropriate.
Photographic documentation of hair restoration surgery
During hair restoration surgery, we take pre- and post-operative photographs to document the patient’s condition and the results of the surgery, allowing us to compare the results before and after surgery and monitor the progress, allowing us to objectively understand the effectiveness and progress of the surgery.
Complete or partial shaving of scalp hair
During hair restoration surgery, scalp hair in the surgical area may be shaved completely or partially to ensure adequate visibility and access to the surgical area, improving the efficiency of the procedure.
Surgical intervention
Skin disinfection and infiltration anesthesia
The first stage of surgery involves proper disinfection of the skin at the surgical site and administration of infiltration anesthesia, which ensures that the surgical area is kept clean and the patient is comfortable.
Surgical removal of donor hair
Hair is surgically harvested from the donor area using techniques such as the FUE method, and a healthy unit of hair is selected.
Creating the incision at the recipient site
In the recipient area, an incision is made to accommodate the transplanted hair unit, which allows for precise placement of the transplanted hair for a natural appearance .
Implant placement
The hair units to be transplanted are placed into the recipient area, which improves the density and appearance of the patient’s hair.
Results of treatment
After surgery, the results of hair restoration will be evaluated, including any improvement in growth, density, and appearance of the transplanted hair .
Adjuvant Therapy for Hair Transplant
Some patients will need to undergo adjuvant therapy after hair restoration surgery, which may include medications or phototherapy.
