Announcement

In 2002, NHI New Hair, an American hair transplant specialist, first published a paper on non-incisional hair transplantation (FUE) in the Journal of Dermatologic Surgery. Since the announcement, there has been a great fever around the world for non-invasive hair transplantation, and it is now possible to find hospitals that easily perform non-invasive hair transplantation in Korea.

However, the search impressions about non-incisional hair transplantation felt on the Internet portal site are, in a word,’over-advertising’ and’overheating of marketing’. Even if I wash my eyes and look, I am concerned that consumers will be able to sort out the stones in the sea of ​​information that is only light contents.

Is non-incisional hair transplantation simple and easy enough to be performed in all hospitals? Has it been reduced to a marketing tool that attracts patients as if advertising an industrial product with the feature of’non-incision’? With a lot of information, let’s check out some things you need to know before you go to surgery or visit a hospital.

Most of all, if you are a hair loss patient who is about to undergo a non-incisional hair transplant, is’non-incisional hair transplantation’ right for me? It is necessary to worry about whether I can receive the treatment unconditionally if I want it. Even if I buy a single home appliance, I think carefully about whether it is suitable for the purpose I need, and it goes without saying that it is a surgery on my body. In addition, a hair loss patient suffers from each hair that cannot be changed with money.

Not all non-incisional hair transplants can be applied to hair transplant patients. This is not a simple question as to whether or not it is a situation where you will have to cut your hair short for non-incisional hair transplant surgery.

The non-incisional hair transplant applied to a patient who is not suitable for this procedure is, in a word, a’disaster’ itself. In the process of collecting hair follicles one by one, it is necessary to obtain all intact and healthy’anatomical hair follicle units’. If that is not possible, the word’disaster’ is not excessive for a hair loss patient who should cherish even a single hair.

The answer to’Is non-incisional hair transplant possible for me?’ is bound to be heard from a hair transplant specialist. This is because there is no way to judge by yourself. When I go to the hospital and ask a doctor, I have no choice but to expect the doctor to answer ethically and objectively between’the patient’s needs’ and’what is possible’.

However, if you go through a’non-incisional hair transplant test’ before deciding on a non-incisional hair transplant, you can determine whether the non-incisional hair transplant is suitable for the patient. This is because it is not possible to predict how much success rate can be achieved during the entire transplantation by collecting about 10 hair follicles as a sample and checking the cutting rate of the hair follicle or the condition of the hair follicle. Since this test procedure is the same as the actual surgical procedure, the hair follicles collected by the test can be transplanted where necessary to prevent the hair follicles from wasting.

There are reasons for non-incisional hair transplantation that can be judged by the naked eye, such as when the hair is too thin or extremely curly, but there are problems that cannot be known before actually collecting it, so it is important to test it as much as possible.

Even if it is determined that non-incisional hair transplantation is suitable through the test, it is necessary to check for abnormalities under a microscope for all hair follicles to be transplanted during the actual surgery. This is because it is impossible to check the presence or absence of hair follicles only by visually grasping them.

If transplanted right away without microscopic inspection, the operation time could be shortened, but it is the same stupid thing to resent only the’field’ and’weather’ where the crops do not grow by sowing seeds that you do not know whether they are dead or live.

Since hair transplantation is performed only with local anesthesia, the process of checking one’s own hair follicles through a microscope can be checked directly during surgery. Before deciding on an operation, it can be a criterion for choosing a good hospital to check whether there are more than 5 microscopes in the operating room of the hospital.

Due to the advantage of rapid recovery and non-invasiveness, the demands of patients are increasing, and accordingly, inexperienced hospitals are also increasing. It is difficult for patients to sort out boulders on their own, and when looking for information with the desperate feeling of a hair loss patient, it is easy to be dazzled by hype advertisements floating on the Internet.

If you think that it is rude to ask a doctor in person and choose a hospital timidly, the damage to the waste of each and every hair that is like your life will be yours in the end.
