Advanced Hair Transplant Guide: From Scalp Science to Design Perfection

Hair loss is no longer an end, but a new beginning. Modern hair transplantation is a highly advanced procedure combining precise medical technology and artistic reconstruction. AINI Clinic focuses not only on the engraftment rate of hair follicles but also on every subtle detail that determines one's impression.

Accurate type identification is crucial for optimal transplant planning.

• Male Pattern Hair Loss (AGA): Typically begins with a receding M-shaped hairline or thinning at the crown. DHT hormone is the primary cause.
• Female Pattern Hair Loss: Characterized by a decrease in overall hair density, primarily around the part.

Beyond general hairline, AINI Clinic specializes in special area transplantation requiring high expertise.

• Eyebrow Transplant: Eyebrows are the 'roof' of one's facial impression. We adjust the subtle angle and direction of hair growth to create a natural, three-dimensional look, just like your original eyebrows.
• Sideburn Transplant: A key element in making the face appear slimmer. We design considering the natural flow extending to the jawline and the gradual change in hair thickness.
• Non-Shaven Non-Incisional Procedure: By selectively harvesting only the necessary hair follicles without shaving the back of the head, there are almost no signs of surgery immediately after the procedure, allowing for an immediate return to daily life.

To achieve optimal results, maintaining existing hair before and after hair transplantation should be combined with other treatments.

1. Medical Hair Loss Care: Oral medications (finasteride/dutasteride) and topical medications fundamentally block DHT, the cause of hair loss.
2. Scalp Mesotherapy: Essential nutrients for hair growth are directly injected into the scalp's dermal layer to improve hair thinning.

AINI Clinic doesn't just transplant; we create a 'soil' where hair can grow well.

1. Exosome Injection: Highly concentrated growth factors help wound healing and promote hair follicle growth.
2. PRP Autologous Blood Treatment: Growth factors extracted from one's own blood suppress the progression of hair loss in existing hair and strengthen hair roots.
3. PDRN Injection: Promotes regeneration of damaged scalp tissue and improves the microenvironment around hair follicles to increase engraftment rate.
4. Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): Increases scalp blood flow after surgery, enhancing engraftment rate and alleviating inflammation.

The success of hair transplantation is the aesthetics of patience.

• Month 1 (Shedding Phase): This is the 'shedding phase' where transplanted hair temporarily falls out. The hair follicles are safely engrafted, so there's no need to worry.
• Months 3-4 (Regeneration Phase): Fine new hairs begin to grow.
• Month 6 (Transition Phase): Hair density noticeably increases, and approximately 50-70% of the final result is visible.
• Month 12 (Completion Phase): This is when a rich density and natural design are completed.

Q. Will transplanted hair fall out later?

A. Since hair follicles from the occipital area, which are not affected by hair loss, are transplanted, the transplanted hair is maintained for life.

Q. When can I shampoo normally?

A. Gentle washing is possible from the day after the procedure, and you can shampoo as before after 2 weeks.
