Nella Hair Transplant Clinic

A focused surgical hair-restoration clinic

Nella Hair Transplant Clinic is an appointment-only practice at 629 Dien Bien Phu Street, Ban Co Ward, Ho Chi Minh City. Unlike a general dermatology department or multi-service cosmetic centre, its published scope is concentrated on hair restoration: scalp hair transplantation, eyebrow and beard transplantation, restoration within scarred areas and non-surgical hair-loss programmes. The clinic displays Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health operating licence 07110/HCM-GPHD on its website.

The practice presents Dr Hien Nguyen as its Medical Director and states that he personally manages consultation, planning, the transplant procedure and follow-up. His profile lists medical study at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City and Pham Ngoc Thach University of Medicine, membership of the Ho Chi Minh City Society of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, and more than 15 years working in aesthetic surgery and hair restoration. These are provider-published credentials; prospective patients should still ask to see the current licence and confirm who will perform extraction, recipient-site creation and implantation in their individual case.

Choosing an assessment before choosing a graft number

Nella promotes Sapphire Micro FUE, describing follicle extraction with 0.6–0.8 mm punches followed by recipient channels made with sapphire blades. The name of a technique does not by itself establish candidacy or the result. A useful consultation should first examine the pattern and cause of hair loss, donor-area density, hair calibre, scalp health, medical history and the likelihood of future thinning. Patients should ask what alternatives exist, including observation or medical management, and what may happen to non-transplanted hair over time.

The clinic also offers eyebrow, beard and scar restoration. Each has different planning constraints: eyebrow and beard work depends heavily on direction and angle, while scar tissue may have a different blood supply from unaffected skin. Ask whether the doctor recommends a staged procedure, how the donor area will be selected and how many follicular units—not simply individual hairs—are proposed. Vietnam Clinic’s comparison of hair-transplant clinics in Vietnam provides a broader framework for comparing surgeon involvement, techniques and follow-up.

Questions to settle before travelling or paying a deposit

The provider highlights individual hairline design and transparent graft counting. Before booking, request a written plan recording the estimated graft range, donor zone, recipient areas, technique, named doctor and what is included in the fee. Clarify whether trimming is required, how long the procedure is expected to take, what anaesthesia is used and which team member performs each stage. Published survival percentages and before-and-after photographs describe selected provider material, not a guarantee for a new patient.

International patients should also request a complete timetable: in-person assessment, surgery, first wash, donor and recipient checks, safe travel date and remote follow-up. Do not schedule an inflexible flight immediately after the procedure. Ask what would cause surgery to be postponed, how a change in graft count affects the price and what refund or rescheduling terms apply. The medical-tourism planning guide for Vietnam covers records, insurance, travel timing and continuity of care.

Appointment access and communication

Nella publishes +84 909 390 187 for telephone, WhatsApp and Zalo contact and states that it operates by appointment from Monday to Saturday. It does not publish exact daily opening and closing times, so patients should obtain written confirmation of every visit. The website identifies an English-speaking doctor, alongside Vietnamese service information; confirm that English support will be available for the full consent process, operative instructions and follow-up rather than only for initial messages.

The address is on Dien Bien Phu in the Ban Co area. Send the booking team the planned arrival method and ask for a map pin, especially because long streets in Ho Chi Minh City can cross several wards. Bring identification, a medication and supplement list, allergy information, details of previous scalp procedures and clear photographs or records of earlier treatment. Disclose bleeding disorders, keloid history, diabetes, immune conditions and medicines that affect clotting, but do not stop prescribed medication without instructions from the treating clinician.

Recovery planning and when another specialist is needed

A transplant plan should include written instructions for wound care, sleeping, washing, sun exposure, exercise and the use of prescribed medicines. Ask which swelling, crusting or temporary shedding is expected, when the donor area can be touched and how urgent concerns are handled outside appointment hours. Patients returning overseas need a defined contact route and should know whether follow-up photographs are sufficient or an in-person examination may be required.

Not every form of hair loss is primarily a transplant problem. Sudden patchy loss, scalp inflammation, scarring, pain or shedding associated with systemic symptoms may require dermatological or medical investigation before surgery. A transplant redistributes existing follicles and does not diagnose an underlying disorder. Readers who first need medical assessment can compare dermatologists in Ho Chi Minh City. After any procedure, uncontrolled bleeding, rapidly worsening pain, fever, spreading redness, pus, facial swelling that affects breathing or vision, or signs of a serious allergic reaction require prompt medical attention rather than waiting for a routine online reply.
