Hair Transplantation

What is Hair Transplantation

Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that allows permanent hair restoration in individuals experiencing hair loss or baldness. This procedure is performed by taking hair follicles from the donor area (usually from the back or side of the head) and transplanting them to areas with balding or sparse hair. Hair transplantation is suitable for both men and women and offers natural-looking results. Here’s what you need to know about hair transplantation:

Hair Transplantation Methods

1- FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation):

Method: A strip of skin is removed from the donor area, hair follicles are separated from this strip and transplanted to the area to be transplanted.
Advantages: More grafts (hair follicles) can be obtained.

2- FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction):

Method: Hair follicles are taken one by one from the donor area and transplanted to the area to be transplanted.
Advantages: It leaves less scars, the healing process is faster.

3-DHI (Direct Hair Implantation):

Method: It is similar to the FUE technique, but the hair follicles are placed directly into the transplantation area using a special pen (Choi implanter).
Advantages: More intense and natural results can be achieved, the healing process is short.

4- Sapphire FUE:

Method: In this method, which is a more advanced version of the FUE method, incisions are made using sapphire blades.
Advantages: Provides less tissue damage, faster healing and natural-looking results.

Hair Transplantation Process

1-Consultation:

During the first meeting with the doctor, the hair loss situation is evaluated, the appropriate hair transplantation method is determined and a treatment plan is created.

2-Preparation:

Necessary health checks are performed before hair transplantation.
The donor and the area to be transplanted are prepared and local anesthesia is applied.

3-Collection of Grafts:

Depending on the chosen method, hair follicles are taken from the donor area.

4-Opening the Channels and Placing the Grafts:

Channels where the hair follicles will be placed are opened in the area to be transplanted and the grafts are carefully placed in these channels.

5-Post-Operative Care and Recovery:

Post-procedure care instructions are given.
It is important to rest for the first few days and follow the doctor’s recommended care instructions.
The first hair usually falls out within a few weeks and new hair begins to grow within 3-4 months. Full results are seen between 12-18 months.

Things to Consider After Hair Transplantation

Rest: It is important to rest and avoid physical activities for the first few days.
Head Washing: Hair should be washed as and when recommended by the doctor.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Here's Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Transplantation

What is hair transplantation?

Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves moving hair follicles from one part of the body (usually the back or sides of the scalp, known as the donor area) to the balding or thinning areas (the recipient area). This technique is commonly used to treat male and female pattern baldness.

What are the advantages of hair transplantation?

Advantages include permanent and natural-looking results, improved self-confidence, minimal downtime, the ability to use your own hair, and the potential to restore hair in various areas, including the scalp, eyebrows, and beard.

Will I feel pain during the treatment?

During the procedure, local anesthesia is administered to ensure you do not feel any pain. You might experience some discomfort or soreness post-procedure, which can be managed with prescribed pain medications and proper aftercare.

How long does a hair transplantation procedure take?

The duration of the procedure depends on the number of grafts being transplanted. Typically, it can take between 4 to 8 hours.

How long do the results of hair transplantation last?

The results of hair transplantation are generally permanent. The transplanted hair follicles are resistant to the effects of DHT (the hormone responsible for hair loss), so they should continue to grow for a lifetime.

What should I do after the treatment?

After the treatment, follow your surgeon’s post-care instructions, which may include avoiding strenuous activities, not touching the grafts, washing your hair gently, and attending follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.

Does hair transplantation provide natural-looking results?

Yes, hair transplantation is designed to provide natural-looking results by precisely placing each hair follicle in a manner that mimics natural hair growth patterns, ensuring a seamless blend with your existing hair.

How is hair transplantation different from other hair loss treatments?

Hair transplantation involves surgically moving hair follicles to balding areas, providing a permanent solution. Other treatments, such as medications or laser therapy, aim to slow hair loss or stimulate hair growth but do not offer permanent results.

Who is a good candidate for hair transplantation?

Good candidates for hair transplantation are individuals experiencing hair thinning or hair loss who have sufficient donor hair on the back or sides of the scalp, are in good overall health, and have realistic expectations about the results.
