| natural hair transpantation |
Natural follicular unit hair transplantation is ideal for growing hair in the bald area or thinning
part of the
scalp.
This is a modern process of medical biotechnology by transplanting follicular hair cells from
the permanent area of hair at the back of the scalp (donor site) to any thinning area or bald area
(recipient site). The follicular hair cell will rest or incubate about 3 months before starting to
grow as new hair.At 6-8 months, almost all of the newly transplanted hair will grow. |

follicular unit hair transplantation steps:
1. Consultation: to find out exactly what can be done;
the amount and density, number of sessions, etc.
2. Morning of surgery: shampoo with an antiseptic shampoo
to kill all the germs in the scalp.
3. Dr. Vong draws the Line Thai Micro Hairline and locates
where to transplant hair.
4. Hair transplantation surgery is performed at Dr. Vong's
office following strict sterilized techniques.
5. Anesthesia:
 Clients can be either asleep or fully conscious using
a local anesthetic cream and spray with an injection.
6. Donor harvesting: removing permanent hair from the
back of the scalp.
Strip harvesting: using the follicular splitting technique
to avoid damage to the hair root.
Or Follicular Unit Extraction (F.U.E.): extracting only
the hair root to avoid scars after surgery.
7. After the skin and hair root is obtained from harvesting,
the scalp's skin is further dissected into smaller follicular
units using a microscope.
Follicular units can be 1 hair unit, 2 hair units, 3 hair
units,and infrequently 4 hair units.
Follicular units from the body can be 1 or 2 hair unit(s).
8. Donor harvesting: removing permanent hair from the
back of the scalp.
Strip harvesting: using the follicular splitting technique
to avoid damage to the hair root.
Or Follicular Unit Extraction (F.U.E.): extracting only the
hair root to avoid scars after surgery.
9. Implanting or inserting the follicular unit into the slit
hole from the first FU to the last FU; 500-5000 follicular
units.
10.Dressing the wound: light dressing or no dressing
depending on the style of hair and amount of follicular
units transplanted.
11. Clients leave Dr. Vong's office with pain medications
and antibiotics.
12. The next morning, come back to Dr. Vong's office for
a shampoo.
13. Some clients will experience swelling of the forehead
for 2-7 days.
14. The red dots from the hair transplantation are scabs
(dry blood from surgery) and they will fall out in
10-14 days.
15. Return 7 days after surgery to Dr. Vong's office for
stitches to be removed (clients who use absorbable
stitches will not need them removed).
16. In 2-3 months, new hair will start to grow and clients
may have some cysts or acne like lesions on the
transplanted area. About 5% of the transplanted site
will develop into a cyst. The cyst will completely
disappear after all the new hair grows. A cyst may be
caused by:
Ingrown hair.
Oil accumulated under the skin from a newly
functioning sebaceous gland that cannot get through
the skin's surface because there is no hair shaft.
Clients can use a hot pack on the cyst to help or just
leave it alone and wait it out.
17. 3 months after surgery, new hair will start to grow.
6-8 months after surgery, 95% of the newly
transplanted hair will have grown. The remaining 5%
will keep growing within 3-5 years.

With each transplantation session, it is possible to perform 500-5,000 grafts (1,000-10,000 hairs).
After the hair transplantation, the follicle will go to the telogen or incubation stage for 3-6 months.
Then, hair will start to grow.
