Clinique de Paris aims to alter the stigma of hair loss for a new generation of confidence
Throughout history, Filipinos have embedded layered meanings towards their hair, rooting them within a range of symbolisms from beauty to social status along the various tribes of the archipelago. Aside from this, Filipinos also take pride in how their hairstyles not only accentuate their identities but also reflect significant life events such as one’s coming of age.
With that, the presence and conversations that surround the natural phenomenon of hair loss tend to affect a person’s overall self-perception, regardless of whether it was unforeseen or not. However, with the growing relevance of hair restoration procedures, such changes should instead serve as an opportunity for those looking to find assurance through the personalized process of its services.
Regardless of the stigmatization regarding hair transplantation, Clinique de Paris now stands to redefine the procedure’s perception to instead mark a new beginning for one’s scalp and confidence.
For the brand, their process begins with research; In their respective lifetimes, 85% of men and 50% of women become subject to hair loss with most cases being rooted in genetics and hormonal changes. Taking such information into consideration, the clinic then aims to blend its use of modern medicine and aesthetic applications with its emphasis on extensive research to create personalized treatments for their clients no matter the case.
This is followed through by the assurance from its surgeons’ detailed explanations of their technique as well as guiding each patient through their respective recovery processes as a means to alleviate the intimidation behind the processes of direct implantation.
Apart from its in-house technique of Direct Hair Implantation, the brand also seeks to educate and uplift its clientele through its catalog of articles ranging in topics from explaining the root causes for hair loss to research-based tips for restoring one’s natural hair.
“Our primary role is to educate our audience on hair loss prevention,” shares Medical Director Dr. Rafael Fortus as he expounds on the brand’s priority on client care and service. “Each hairline design and measurement should be treated like a well-tailored garment, giving respect to its proportion and shape to augment one’s facial features gracefully.”
Despite its main prerogative, Clinique de Paris aims to change the impressions of hair transplantation among its male audiences. “Hair density, style, and self-perception can be indelibly intertwined. More than just vanity, hair restoration can signify a new beginning or chapter in a man’s life,” Dr. Fortus shares.
The brand also encourages its audience to practice proper hair care through its consultations and educational content before anything else, letting its services be the quality alternative instead. “Hair care is the forgotten element of skin care. There are many ways to improve scalp health, which, in turn, cultivates healthier hair,” Dr. Fortus expounds.
After nearly a decade in the hair restoration industry, the brand has taken to translate its brand’s identity along the details in its newly moved-in space at Makati City’s business district as seen from its organic artwork mimicking the hides of various wildlife as well as the ambient lighting at the clinic’s lobby to set a hospitable atmosphere. Among these, the clinic takes pride in its position being floors above the city streets as it is described to simulate “the new horizons” its clients can face with a renewed sense of self.
Looking toward the future, Clinique de Paris aims to grow in its understanding of the relationship between one’s hair to both their character and amour propre. “Overall hair is more than a physical attribute, it can symbolize connection to tradition, gender, as well as individual flair,” the medical director shares.
