Q13 What roles do doctors with plastic-surgery, dermatology or other backgrounds play in hair care?
Different roles, the same pay for the same work. Doctors with a plastic-surgery background focus on surgical procedures and reconstructive work, such as large-area transplantation, scar repair and revision procedures. Doctors with a dermatology background focus on diagnosing hair disorders, medication and long-term follow-up, and may also legally perform hair transplantation. All five doctors use the same scalp-transplant fee schedule, regardless of specialty background or seniority.
The registered scopes of all five doctors are publicly listed and can be verified by name in the National Health Commission's registration system (https://zwfw.nhc.gov.cn/cxx/). Our scalp-transplant price schedule applies equally to all five.
A different professional background does not imply greater or lesser skill and is not a reason for a different price. Choose a doctor based on your procedure, treatment area and aesthetic preferences, not their title.
Explain your main concerns when booking. The clinic will match you with the relevant doctor: Liu Chi for large-area hair transplantation for men and body-hair transplantation; Zhang Ying for eyebrow and women's hairline transplantation; Zhang Mei for women's hairline and fine-hair transplantation; Wu Kaiyu for hair-loss diagnosis and treatment, hairline transplantation and pain management during hair transplantation; Jin Yuqing for scar-area hair transplantation and revision of unsuccessful hair transplants.
