As Tet (Lunar New Year) approached, Xuan Tung, 39, a software designer in Hanoi, became increasingly anxious about his thinning hair. Determined to restore his youthful appearance, he opted for a hair transplant, willing to spend tens of millions of VND for the procedure. Tung’s long hours in front of the computer had taken a toll on his skin and hair, with colleagues calling him “uncle” due to his aging appearance. Despite trying various hair growth products with little success, Tung turned to a clinic offering a 50-million-VND transplant, hoping for visible results by the New Year.
Similarly, Huy, 43, a real estate director, struggled with hair loss for years. Thinning hair affected his confidence, and after trying multiple treatments, he also sought a hair transplant in November for over 11 million VND, hoping for a new look by Tet.
The demand for hair transplants among men is rising, especially around the New Year. Social media groups dedicated to hair restoration are thriving, with members mainly aged 30-55. Dr. Le Thai Van Thanh, head of dermatology at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital, noted that men are increasingly seeking cosmetic procedures to combat aging signs like hair loss. “Hair loss makes men feel older and can affect their confidence and performance at work,” he said.
Hair transplants involve transferring healthy hair follicles to balding areas, with results visible within months. The procedure costs between 40-50 million VND, but it’s not suitable for everyone, especially those with immune issues or severe hair loss. Dr. Thanh cautioned that while effective, results may not be permanent.
Increased interest in hair restoration procedures reflects a growing desire among men to regain a youthful appearance and boost self-esteem.
