Crown Hair Transplant in Thailand – Restore Volume and Coverage at the Top of Your Head
he crown—also known as the vertex—is one of the most common and challenging areas affected by hair loss. Often forming a bald or thinning circular patch at the top or back of the scalp, crown hair loss can progress gradually and become highly visible over time. A Crown Hair Transplant in Thailand offers a permanent, natural-looking solution by restoring density and coverage to this critical area.
At Bangkok Health Service, we help patients access top-rated clinics in Bangkok, Phuket, and Chiang Mai, where specialists perform FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) crown transplants with remarkable precision. These advanced methods ensure minimal scarring, natural whorl pattern recreation, and long-term success—even for patients with advanced-stage hair loss.
Understanding Crown Hair Loss
Crown thinning often begins as a small patch and gradually expands, leaving a visible bald spot. In many cases, this area continues to recede and requires more grafts to achieve good coverage. The crown’s spiral hair growth pattern, known as a whorl, makes it more difficult to restore than other parts of the scalp—requiring skilled placement of follicles at precise angles.
Our affiliated clinics in Thailand perform careful assessments to determine:
Your level of crown hair loss
Graft count required to achieve your goals
Whether a combined crown + mid-scalp treatment is needed
A strategic plan is then designed to ensure long-term density and natural hair flow.
Why Get a Crown Transplant in Thailand?
Thailand’s hair transplant clinics offer a combination of international-standard care, experienced doctors, and affordable pricing. Crown procedures are performed using the latest micro-surgical tools and magnification devices to recreate the natural spiral shape and flow of crown hair.
For many patients, a crown transplant in Thailand is part of a broader hair restoration plan—often paired with hairline or mid-scalp treatments. Our clinics offer tailored packages to match your needs, all while providing luxury-level comfort and post-op support.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is a crown hair transplant?
A crown hair transplant targets hair loss at the top/back portion of the scalp, known as the vertex or crown. It involves implanting individual grafts into thinning or bald areas to restore coverage and the natural whorl pattern of hair growth.
Is crown hair restoration more difficult than other areas?
Yes, the crown requires a more complex design due to its natural spiral growth pattern. Skilled surgeons must carefully angle each follicle to recreate the whorl. It often needs higher graft density to achieve a full appearance.
How many grafts are needed for a crown transplant?
Depending on the extent of hair loss, between 1,500 and 3,500 grafts are typically needed to restore the crown area effectively.
Will a crown transplant work if I have advanced hair loss?
Yes, but success depends on donor hair availability and your long-term hair loss pattern. In severe cases, the crown may be treated in stages or as part of a larger full-scalp restoration plan.
How long until I see results from a crown transplant?
Initial hair growth begins around 4 months post-surgery. Most patients see full, visible results between 9 and 12 months, with ongoing thickening over time.
Can a crown transplant be combined with other areas?
Yes. Many patients choose to address both the crown and hairline or mid-scalp areas during a single session or across multiple treatments. Your doctor will recommend the best approach.
