NHT: a medical and qualitative approach to hair transplantation

Hair treatments: rapidly growing demand

Hair loss affects a growing number of men and women, for various reasons ─ genetic predisposition, hormonal upheavals, stress, medical treatments or natural aging. Although it remains medically harmless in most cases, it nevertheless generates psychological consequences for many people who suffer from it, and in particular a loss of confidence and self-esteem, sometimes to the point of affecting their professional and social life. This reality, long underestimated, explains the continued progression in the use of hair transplants, and the appearance of numerous structures offering hair transplants, with unfortunately very unequal levels of medical supervision. However, a hair transplant is above all a medical procedure, which requires a precise diagnosis of the cause of the loss, a rigorous analysis of the donor area and an ability to anticipate the future evolution of the alopecia - all elements which directly condition the success and sustainability of the result, well beyond the surgical procedure alone.

NHT: offering a fully medicalized patient journey

It is on this requirement that Natural Hair Transplant has built its positioning: refusing any standardized approach to the intervention. “A hair transplant remains, whatever some people think, above all a medical procedure and must be based on a real indication. This is why NHT can modify a project for safety or feasibility reasons, or even refuse it when demand is excessive,” indicates Doctor Antoine Alliez, director of NHT. Knowing how to say no can be surprising from a structure specializing in transplants. However, this is one of the clearest signs of its medical approach: the priority remains the safety of the patient, before the request itself.

This approach results in a structured care pathway, which is not limited to the surgical procedure. It begins with a pre-quote established from photographs sent by the patient, and each project is then studied during a physical consultation with a doctor, obligatory before any intervention. It includes three stages: a microscopic analysis of the hair and scalp, a complete blood test covering more than 30 parameters, then an appointment with an anesthetist, essential to secure the entire procedure.

These examinations make it possible to establish a personalized treatment plan, which takes into account the patient's morphology, their age and the probable evolution of their baldness. The operation is then carried out by a team of surgeons, assisted by nurses and anesthesiologists. Each graft, that is to say each small unit of hair taken, is analyzed under a microscope to check its quality. It is then re-implanted, follicle by follicle, on the scalp, to achieve a natural result. The objective is not limited to denser hair: it is also about preserving the balance of the face and anticipating the future development of hair loss.
