After the Spring Festival holiday, many patients with hair loss called the consulting doctors of雍禾植发(Yonghe Hair Transplant), telling them about various troubles during the festival, such as family pressure to get married, being outperformed in career by classmates, and failed blind dates, etc. These problems are commonly faced by middle-aged and young people, and patients with hair loss, due to their poor appearance, are even more disadvantaged in matters of love and career. Just after the Spring Festival, Yonghe Hair Transplant experienced a small peak in the reservation of hair transplant surgeries.
For patients with hair loss, hair sources are precious, and any behavior that wastes hair follicle resources will have serious consequences, ranging from worsening hair loss, wasting money and energy, to causing significant psychological trauma. Therefore, choosing a hair transplant hospital after the Spring Festival becomes particularly important.
Yonghe Hair Transplant was founded in 1999 and has cured over 30,000 cases of hair loss both domestically and internationally. It owns China's only hair follicle stem cell transplantation research laboratory, China's only ISO9001:2008 internationally certified hair transplant technology, and China's most advanced and safest ten-thousand-grade laminar flow operating room, along with numerous internationally renowned hair transplant experts. Although hair transplant surgery may seem "small," it is performed on the human head and must not be taken lightly. It requires extremely high standards for hardware, software facilities, and personnel skills. Yonghe Hair Transplant considers what patients need, importing all equipment from developed countries like the United States and Germany. The operating room parameters follow international advanced standards, and all experts hold valid certifications, mastering solid hair transplant techniques.
Experts at Yonghe Hair Transplant introduced issues to pay attention to after a hair transplant:
Here, the experts at Yonghe remind everyone: patients who have already reserved a recent hair transplant surgery should reduce social drinking after the Spring Festival and consider quitting smoking. Those familiar with hair transplants know that it is a microsurgical cosmetic surgery performed 2-3mm below the scalp surface, with bleeding during the procedure. To ensure proper coagulation of the scalp after surgery, patients should avoid alcohol beforehand, especially considering the likelihood of heavy drinking after the Spring Festival. These situations should be avoided in advance to prevent excessive alcohol from affecting the scalp's coagulation function and the use of antibiotics.
As for the impact of smoking on hair loss, studies show that while smoking does not directly cause baldness, it can exacerbate hair loss. Researchers from authoritative hair loss research institutions conducted long-term tracking surveys on thousands of men and found that if they smoke daily, these individuals are much more likely to experience severe hair loss. Researchers pointed out that smoking might damage hair follicles, affect blood and hormone circulation in the scalp, or lead to increased estrogen levels. Compared to European and American men, Asian men are less affected by baldness, but smoking removes this advantage. Experts at Yonghe Hair Transplant advise men showing early signs of hair loss to consider quitting smoking to prevent further deterioration.
For those who have not yet booked a hair transplant hospital, let's review the key factors to consider when choosing a hair transplant hospital after the Spring Festival:
1. Internationally renowned hair transplant institutions: planting hair, enjoying service
Brand value creates core competitiveness. Yonghe Hair Transplant has gathered a large number of medical elites skilled in autologous hair transplantation and has always adhered to the conscience and ethics of doctors, strictly following the "Hippocratic Oath." They deeply care for every patient at Yonghe. Many patients who underwent hair transplant surgeries at Yonghe mentioned the brand philosophy of "caring, integrity, and upholding conscience." As patients said, at Yonghe, you plant hair and enjoy VIP treatment.
The people of Yonghe Hair Transplant have written history with noble medical ethics, warm-hearted services, and exquisite skills. Today's Yonghe people will use "advanced science and technology and sincere humanitarian care" to build an internationally first-class hair transplant institution.
2. World-leading hair transplant technology, internationally recognized ISO certification, leading China's hair transplant development
After locking on a price range for hair transplant hospitals, the next step is to choose the technology. Generally, the main promoted hair transplant technology by an institution is often the most mature one used by the institution and the most chosen by patients.
As mentioned earlier, there are only three internationally recognized hair transplant technologies: FUT, FUE, and FUE-APL1.0 scarless hair transplant technology. In 2002, Yonghe Hair Transplant was the first to introduce FUE hair transplant technology to China, bringing the domestic hair transplant industry into a scarless era without surgery. In recent years, Yonghe Hair Transplant has kept pace with international trends and independently developed the FUE-APL1.0 scarless hair transplant technology, which was improved based on the characteristics of Asian hair follicles. In 2010, it passed the authoritative certification of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), becoming the third hair transplant technology recognized by the international community after FUT and FUE.
3. Top international expert team, reputation builds the golden brand
In clinical operations, a hair transplant surgery requires a team of 6-8 doctors to complete, including preoperative detection physicians, senior designers, hair extraction doctors, planting doctors, and assistant nurses. Currently, many domestic hair transplant institutions do not meet the standards in terms of the number of doctors, doctor experience, and doctor qualifications. Many institutions hire "roving" experts; although these experts may have strong individual capabilities, they lack good teams to collaborate with them. Especially after the Spring Festival, many hair transplant institutions face staff reorganization, making it difficult to guarantee good surgical results without a stable team.
Since its establishment 13 years ago, Yonghe Hair Transplant has internally cultivated dozens of hair transplant experts who usually have rich clinical experience, master advanced hair transplant technology, and skillfully use the latest hair transplant instruments. They are star experts in China's hair transplant field and even the world's hair transplant industry. Currently, Yonghe Hair Transplant has one U.S.-trained hair transplant expert, four experts trained in Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong, four senior preoperative diagnostic physicians, three senior image designers, and five veteran planting physicians. Many of these experts have participated in the R&D of various hair transplant technologies both domestically and internationally and have attended international development seminars in the U.S. multiple times. They are member experts of the World Hair Transplant Conference.
4. Strict adherence to postoperative precautions, achieving satisfactory hair transplant effects
Good hair transplant results depend not only on the development of hair transplant technology and the experience level of the surgeons but also largely on proper maintenance within nine months or a year after the surgery. This must not be overlooked! For this reason, Yonghe Hair Transplant specially formulated a nine-month-long "one-on-one" hair follicle rehabilitation care guidance service provided by experts. During this period, Yonghe Hair Transplant experts will customize postoperative hair care instructions based on the patient's hair quality, duration of hair loss, and the selected hair transplant technology. They also provide corresponding drug treatment plans, including anti-inflammatory and swelling drugs, painkillers, and internal/external growth-promoting drugs. Regular instant care guidance is provided at various time points (such as the 5th day, 7th day, 10th day, 20th day, one and a half months, three months, six months, one year, etc.).
After the Spring Festival, activities increase. Besides avoiding tobacco and alcohol, Yonghe experts also remind patients who have undergone hair transplant surgeries to try to let others drive when attending gatherings after the Spring Festival. Avoid strenuous exercise, lifting heavy objects, and getting water on the surgical area.
