5 things every medical tourist should know

Each year, millions travel abroad for healthcare. With personal choice, however, comes responsibility. Here's what every prospective patient should know before going overseas for treatment.

1. Find out from a qualified medical professional if you are fit to travel overseas with your medical condition.

2. Make sure the hospital you select is licensed and preferably accredited by a recognized international organization that audits medical quality.

3. Check the credentials and experience of the doctor who will treat you.

4. Decisions on treatment can be made only after you meet with your doctor. It is unrealistic to expect that any doctor can guarantee treatment or surgery without first examining you to determine the appropriate approach. In most cases, patients do get the procedure they travel overseas for. But it is possible that your doctor, upon examining you, may decide you are not fit for surgery, or recommends treatment different from what you planned.

5. Any complaints about your treatment will be resolved in the country where you are treated, according to its laws and procedures.

Procedure of the month - Hair Transplant


Hair transplantation is performed as an out patient surgery under twilight local anaesthetic. You will be discharged 15 minutes after the procedure is completed. The procedure usually last 4-8 hours depends on the amount of grafts being transplanted.

Modern techniques of surgical hair transplantation can restore lost hair and replace or re-shape your hairline with your own natural, growing hair, which need no more care than the ordinary washing, styling, and trimming you have always done. Transplantation can be done today so well that often a barber or stylist cannot even tell that grafts have been placed.

Hair transplantation involves removing permanent hair-bearing skin form the back and/or sides of the scalp (donor area). Then, using magnification, the tissue is dissected into follicular unit grafts (containing 1-4 hairs each). These small grafts are then meticulously planted into the bald or thinning area of the scalp (recipient area) so as not to injure any follicles already existing in the area and at the same exact angle as the other hairs present. The creation of very small follicular unit grafts has enabled the hair surgeon to create very natural, feathered hairlines, which do not have the abrupt, "pluggy look" that was commonly seen in hair transplants of years past. I prefer to transplant exclusively with follicular unit grafts, while others feel that placing the multi-follicular unit grafts into the central areas of the scalp allows them to better create central density. Depending on the degree of balding in the frontal, mid-scalp, and vertex (crown) areas, usually 2-3 procedures are performed, with the number of grafts used varying tremendously, based on the area of potential alopecia, the patient?s "safe" donor supply, the textural characteristics of the patient's hair, whether or not multi-follicular unit grafts are used in addition to follicular unit grafts, and the specific goals of the patient. Hair transplant surgery today is remarkably well tolerated. Within 24 hours small crusts will form on each graft that are then shed in approximately 4-14 days. The grafted hairs will often start to grow by 10-16 weeks after the procedure and will continue to grow for most, if not all, of one's life. (As men and women age, in many there is a slight loss of hair density all over the head, which would naturally also affect the transplanted hairs).

Hair transplantation is on an out patient basis with no need to stay in the hospital. You can go back to your hotel after observation of about ˝ hour. The usual process of is as follows:

Day 1 for Initial consultation
Day 2 for surgery
Day 3 for follow up and shampoo, you may go back to your country on this day or you may want to stay for a few days, it?s up to you.

The regular cost is 120 Baht/graft. Scaling discount for large number of grafts.

(Exchange rate is 1 AUD = 28 Baht) The exchange rate is fluctuated everyday.
