What is Hair Transplant

Men and women who complain of hair loss prefer hair transplant treatment. Hair transplant is the process of transplanting the patient's own healthy hair with microsurgical methods to areas where the hair follicles are not active, or the hair is scarce on the scalp.

In hair transplant, the strongest hair follicles in the nape area are preferred. The difference between male and female hair transplant is the shaving procedure before hair transplant. Shaving is necessary before hair transplantation in men, although it is not necessary in women. As it is a surgical procedure, it must be performed by specialist doctors. As a result of the procedure, the goal is to restore the natural appearance of the hair of the patient in a comfortable process.

Studies show that the vast majority of men who undergo hair transplant surgery are satisfied with the results. Another study revealed that men felt an increase in self-esteem after surgery.

Various hair transplant surgeries have been developed to help lost hair grow back. The follicular unit extraction technique (FUE technique) and the direct hair implantation technique (DHI technique) are the most common of these techniques.

During FUE, a surgeon removes follicles directly from your scalp. In both surgeries, the follicles are implanted in the bald parts of the scalp

Hair Transplant

How does a hair transplant work?

In the hair transplant process, hair follicles, which are usually collected from the nape and called grafts, are implanted in the target area. If the grafts in the patient's nape are not dense enough, hair follicles can be collected from other areas such as the arm and chest. The duration of the procedure varies depending on the level of hair loss. 

Before the hair transplant begins, the area where the hair will be taken is sterilized. Local anesthesia is used primarily for the procedure. However, if you want to stay asleep, you can request sedation. Once the process is complete, the implanted area is bandaged. The patient can be discharged a maximum of 2 hours after the procedure. After the procedure, home rest is required for 3 days

How long does a hair transplant last

WhatsApp Image 2022-10-14 at 3.18.13 PM.jpeg

Generally, the permanence rate after a successful hair transplant is 95%. The reason for this is the hair follicles extracted from the donor area, which are genetically resistant to hair loss. Newly implanted hair that is resistant to hair loss remains on the scalp for life. 

On the other hand, hair loss can be observed in the following days after hair transplant. Although hair transplant is permanent, it is necessary to pay attention to the transplanted hair after the transplant process.

Hair is not washed for the first three days after hair transplant. In the following days, the washing begins, the doctor's instructions are followed, and the success rate is very high if procedures that wear down and damage the hair are avoided. In the following periods, the transplanted hair may thin, but no fall occurs.
