last year，A newspaper reporter sneaked into a clinic in Chaoyang District, Beijing，Unveiled the darkest tip of the iceberg in the hair transplant industry。
After the clinic training teacher accepts 6,800 tuition，Teach a great art-"FUE Seamless Hair Transplant"。however，The student has never studied medicine，The teacher is also a monk。In the end, this illegal clinic，Suspension of business for rectification、Penalty with a fine of 3000。
From niche surgery to a hundred billion future
Hair，It was a very niche surgery。
1985year，Shanghai Stomatologist Wang Shanchang went to the University of Pennsylvania to study，When learning oral and maxillofacial surgery techniques，"By the way" mastered "FUT Hair Transplant"。
but，Due to high investment、Low output，Not seen by doctors in the early years。
A hair transplant，Usually 2000-4000 follicular units are extracted from the patient’s back occiput，Transplant to the hair loss area，At least one doctor + multiple nurses must cooperate，It took a day or two in the early years。Medical staff can perform at most two operations a day。
Founder of Yonghe Hair Plant、President and CEO Zhang Yu，Experienced the earlier pioneering period of the private hair plant industry："At that time，No one pays much attention to the subdivision of hair transplantation，Do a hair transplant hospital，Better to be a plastic surgery hospital。”
2005Around the year，Yonghe、Kefayuan、Private hair transplant institutions such as Biliansheng have been established。the first，The survival of these private hair transplant institutions is not satisfactory。Take Yonghe as an example，2008When the annual monthly turnover is highest，Less than a million；Lowest time，Tens of thousands of dollars。
The change happened in 2007，Yonghe introduced "FUE Hair Transplant" to China。FUE no longer "scalp"，Instead, use a micro drill to remove the healthy hair follicles in the back occiput.，Reactive treatment，Transplant to the hair loss area like transplanting seedlings。
Compared to FUT，FUE small wound、Easy to use，Low patient pain、Fast healing。The Chinese dubbed FUE the reputation of "no trace hair transplant"，Quickly swept。
As demand increases，Technology and efficiency upgrade，Make the price of hair transplant surgery，From the unattainable 70,000 to 80,000 to 20,000 to 40,000。
China's hair transplant industry is beginning to rise，Since 2012，Biliansheng's revenue、profit，Start to maintain a compound growth rate of more than 50% every year；2013year，Yonghe Zhifa's revenue also exceeded 30 million for the first time。After that，Yonghe's performance doubled year after year，2018year，Be the first to break the 1 billion mark。
The corresponding is，2018year，China's hair transplant industry completed 500,000 operations，The amount of surgery exceeded 10 billion for the first time；2020year，The scale of China's hair plant industry is expected to exceed 20 billion。To this，Industry insiders also made no secret：The hair transplant industry has grown for 10 years，No problem。
Capital is keenly aware of the wind of the times。2017September，CITIC Industry Fund spends 300 million yuan to control Yonghe，Realize the "first investment" of industrial capital in the hair plant industry；A few months later，Huagai Capital also completed a 500 million war investment in Biliansheng。
now，The overall pattern of China's hair transplant industry is：Yonghe、barley(Kefayuan)、newborn、Large private hair transplant hospital represented by Biliansheng，Approximately 35% market share；General medical and aesthetic institutions and hair transplantation department of public hospitals，25% respectively、10%Market；30% left，Small clinic、Small institutions carve up。
Chaotic rivers and lakes
Hair transplant surgery is as small as seven or eight thousand、2-3 million at every turn，Price is one of the important factors considered by Fayou。The transplant price of each hair follicle unit in public hospitals is about 20-25 yuan；Chain hair transplant hospitals are 10-20 yuan。
But some small institutions、Small clinic，Offer a "breaking price" of 8 yuan，15% off at the event。There are also some hair transplant institutions，Take advantage of people's lack of medical knowledge，Initiate "technical flicker"。Claiming to master the "core technology" of hair transplant，Not only does FUE "continuously upgrade" every year，Also created NXX、SXX、PXX，Even 4D、5G、New technologies such as micro-diamonds、New patent，Pack a variety of new hair transplant concepts。
President of the Chinese Medical Beauty Branch of China Plastic Surgery Association、Yang Dingquan, Director of Hair Center of China-Japan Friendship Hospital, once said："Formal hair transplant technology，Only FUT、FUE two kinds，Exaggerated publicity on the market，It's all a gimmick，Essentially FUT or FUE。”
To this，Zhang Yu, President and CEO of Yonghe Hair Plant, once sighed："What the hair transplant industry lacks，Neither market space，Not technology，But norms and integrity。”
Chaos，Not accidental。such as，The emergence of "three days doctor"，It seems that some medical institutions practice medicine illegally；Deeper reasons，But it is the skyrocketing demand for hair transplants and the scarcity of regular doctors。
Hair transplant surgery is a "team battle"，Need a surgeon、Separator、Planter、Multi-person collaboration such as nurses。And as the soul of surgery，The surgeon must have cosmetic plastic surgery、Formal qualifications and surgical experience in microsurgery。
But so far，No medical school in China has officially opened a hair transplant major，Doctors can only transform from related surgery。Data show，There are currently thousands of hair transplants across the country，But less than 1/10 can do hair transplant surgery。
One side is the lack of hair transplant doctors，On the one hand, there is a huge increase in hair transplant institutions。
Enterprise check data display，As of December 2020，There are 811 hair transplant-related companies nationwide。among them，2019142 newly registered companies in the year；2020Suffered an epidemic，96 new companies were still added in the first three quarters。
To this，Large hair transplant institutions have long had solutions：One is to hire a public hospital，The second is to strengthen the internal training of doctors。
such as，Yonghe's Hair Transplant Technology Research Institute，Over the years, hundreds of hair transplant doctors have been trained，The "Whampoa Military Academy" in the industry。
But to eliminate the "three-day doctor" fundamentally，In addition to strengthening the training of regular doctors，Must strengthen industry supervision。
Hair transplantation is listed as "first-level surgery" in China，Low technical difficulty、Surgery with low risk。But due to its medical properties，Still constitutes a high knowledge barrier to the public。Typical case in this regard，It's "Micro-Diamond Hair Transplant"。
Some hair transplant institutions，Vigorously promote micro-diamond hair transplants imported from abroad，Weigh the small diameter(Only 0.6mm-1.0mm)，So the wound is small、Fast recovery、high density，It is the most advanced hair transplant technology in the world；The traditional tweezers have a large caliber(About 1.0mm-1.5mm)，Traumatic、Slow recovery...
then，The hair transplant market has set off "the smaller the hole, the better，The higher the density, the better"。
The maximum diameter of the hair follicle is about 0.32mm，Theoretically，It seems to be enough with 0.6mm size micro drill。But the repeated operation of the hair transplant doctor to extract thousands of hair follicles，Like holding a pistol with thousands of bullets：The target is big enough，Hit rate is high；Target is too small，The hit rate will drop sharply。
Use a 0.6mm micro drill to remove hair follicles，It is equivalent to giving the doctor a far and small target。In practice，Micro drills can easily chop up hair follicles、Cut hair，Tolerance rate is too low。In addition，Some hair friends have thick hair、Slightly larger hair follicles，Not suitable for micro drills。
Self-discipline、Transparent、specification
Chaos in the hair transplant industry，Has attracted the attention of regulators。
2017-2018year，Joint 7 departments including Health and Family Planning Commission，Launch a special operation to crack down on illegal medical beauty，For one year。
2020April，Health Commission issued another "notice"，Requires "further strengthen the comprehensive supervision and law enforcement of medical beauty"，For physician qualifications、Medical device management、Prominent issues such as medical beauty advertisements，Proposed industry-first self-discipline，Government strengthens supervision，And promote the formation of a reporting and supervision mechanism for the whole society。
2020November，"Hair Transplant Specification" group standard finalized release，Announcing that China's hair plant industry has entered a new era of technical specifications。
such as，"Regulate" the requirements of hair transplant institutions，Is there a medical beauty department or plastic surgery、General hospitals of dermatology and above、Medical Aesthetic Hospital、Clinics and clinics，All institutions that do not meet the requirements must be excluded。
Technically clear，Hair follicle extraction only FUT、FUE two technologies，Planting only forceps planting、Planting pen、Three technologies。
But for the doctor，Getting started with hair transplant，Difficult。A professional even said："Able to do and skilled，Are two different things。”
This makes formal hair transplant institutions attach great importance to doctors’ years of practice。
In a public hospital，It takes 5-7 years to train a hair transplant doctor；Hair transplant in Yonghe，The threshold of "Yongxiang·Dream Team" is as high as 10 years；The rigid rules for new hair transplants are，The surgeon must have more than 5 years of experience；barley(Kefayuan)Requires a doctor for more than 3 years to get started。
domestic，Was the first to realize "good hair transplant，The key to the core，Yonghe。
10Many years ago，Yonghe began to cultivate、Reserve a team of hair transplant doctors。Currently，Yonghe 49 directly operated hospitals，155 practicing doctors、899Nurse practitioner。Especially the doctor’s practice certificate number，All open on the official website，To make it easy for friends to go to the official website of the National Health Commission to check the authenticity。
And based on the long-term development of the industry，Suggestion by Zhang Yu, President and CEO of Yonghe Hair Plant：The whole industry should move forward hand in hand，Establish a unified "Doctor Alliance"，To improve the industry ecology。
One can realize the transparency of industry talents，It not only improves Fayou’s recognition of "good doctors"，Let the "Shadow Doctor" have nowhere to hide；Two can establish an industry-recognized evaluation system for physicians，Promote talent flow、Salary optimization and healthy development of the industry。
