When choosing a team to help you with your hair loss problem or condition, it is essential that you take certain factors into consideration. The level of expertise of the team will directly impact the success of the treatment. You should be realistic about the possibilities and understand how hair loss treatments work. Another important issue, for those considering a hair transplant, is the amount of donor hair available for transplantation, as this is crucial to both the extent and success of the surgery. You should carefully consider the following factors:
Donor hair
There is a limited number of follicles that can be harvested and transferred from the donor area. This number diminishes with each surgery performed.
Cost
The cost of the transplant should never be the determining factor. Preservation of good donor hair follicles is vital. A cheaper transplant by a team doing poor quality work may prove more expensive in the end than a top quality job done by an experienced professional team.
Respect
It is absolutely critical that donor hair is handled and treated with respect as no new hair can be created. At the end of the day, donor supply is the only limiting factor in hair transplants.
The surgeon
When choosing your transplant team start by considering the surgeon leading it. Does the surgeon work and live in his country of practice? If any problems or questions arise after the surgery, it is nice to be able to call and see your surgeon, or at least to know that he or she are based full-time at their clinic.
In some cases, non medical personnel are exclusively carrying out the entire procedure. While the role of the nursing staff and the hair technicians is extremely important throughout the surgery; certain elements should only be carried out by a trained surgeon.
Another important factor is the doctor’s surgical experience. Unfortunately a lot of people offering hair transplant surgery have little training in surgery and virtually no surgical experience.
The facility
Hair transplants are still being carried out in sites and clinics that are not equipped to carry out the procedure. In some cases, multiple clients are placed in the same procedure room, allowing for virtually no privacy. Our new state-of-the-art facility, with all the very latest technology, is conveniently located in one of Amman’s most exclusive neighborhoods.
A team of qualified nurses and technicians has been gathered together to assist the surgeon, who is the team leader. A considerable amount of time and effort have been put into the design of the facility so that the staff consistently perform top quality work.
Patient comfort
A lot of clinics will sedate their patients heavily so that they are in a semi-conscious state during the procedure. With our technique, very little- if any- pain is felt. We like our patients to be fully conscious so that they can communicate with the transplant team. The very latest entertainment equipment is provided for the patient to make the whole day a relaxing and pleasant experience. Patients are encouraged to bring their own entertainment material or they can choose from the several options that we provide.
