Hair transplantation

What is hair transplantation?

One of the most common cosmetic problems today is hair
loss. Although it is thought to be specific to men, it is a problem faced
by women from time to time. Shedding between 50 and 100 hair strands on a
daily basis is normal. If there is a spillage in numbers above this, a
specialist should be consulted. Although hair loss can be reduced or
prevented with various hair treatments such as hair laser and PRP, hair
transplantation operation is performed as a permanent solution for people with
extensive hair loss.

Hair transplantation is a natural and permanent solution to the problem of thinning
and baldness caused by hair loss. With the hair transplant operation, hair
follicles that are genetically resistant to shedding are collected from the
nape of the patient and transplanted into the channels opened in the baldness
or thinning parts. Hair transplant operation is a microsurgical surgery
performed under local anesthesia. For this reason, it should be done in a
hospital environment and in the presence of an anesthesiologist.

Basic steps of hair transplantation

Hair transplant operation is performed in three basic stages;

1. Collection of hair follicles

After the donor area is prepared for the procedure, the
hair follicles are collected one by one with the FUE motor. In the
meantime, it is very important that the roots are not damaged. Each of
these roots, called grafts, contains an average of 2-3 hairs.

2. Opening the channels

Opening the channels in the right size and depth
according to the area in which they are located affects the growth rate of the
transplanted hair. Care should be taken to open a channel suitable for the
size and length of the hair follicle to be transplanted. The angle of the
channel should also be adjusted well in order to obtain the most natural view.

3. Planting the roots in the opened canals

In the last stage, the roots collected are placed in the
opened canals one by one at an angle of 40-45 degrees and the hair
transplantation operation is completed.

The Latest Hair Transplant Technique: FUE
method

The most up-to-date technology in hair transplantation is
the FUE technique, which is a micro-surgical procedure performed under local
anesthesia where the roots are collected with the help of a micro
motor. This technique is the basis for all hair transplant methods.

The basic steps are the same in all hair transplant techniques. Roots
are removed, channels are opened and the roots taken are planted in these
channels. The differences that distinguish hair transplantation methods
from each other are caused by the device used when the roots are taken, the
medical devices used while the canals are opened and during the
transplantation, and these differences lead to the different naming of hair
transplantation techniques.

Techniques used in hair transplantation

Today, the following hair transplant methods are
successfully applied. Each method is specially selected according to the
needs and demands of the patient. The common opinion of the doctor and the
patient about which method to apply is effective.

1. Robotic Hair Surgery

In the robotic hair transplant method,
hair follicles are collected by the hair transplant robot. After the
canals are opened with the hair transplant robot, the collected roots are
transplanted manually.

2. Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation

In the sapphire FUE hair transplant method,
a special sapphire-tipped pen is used instead of metal slit in the channel
opening phase. What makes the method different are these sapphire tips that
allow smaller micro channels to be opened, thus accelerating the healing
process and reducing scabbing.

3.DHI Hair Transplant (Unshaved)

In the DHI hair transplantation method, also
called direct hair transplantation, using a medical pen named choi,
channel opening and transplantation are performed at the same time. Since
the hair follicles to be transplanted will stay outside for a shorter time, the
grafts are more likely to remain healthy.

4. Normal FUE Hair Transplant

In the FUE hair transplant method, hair follicles collected and separated using a micro motor are transplanted into manually opened channels.

2nd day post process

The spray solution with moisturizing, germicidal and
wound healing properties is applied with very light touches by spraying 10-15
times every 3 hours for 6-7 days after hair transplantation. 9-10 days
after the hair transplant, the scalp is almost completely healed and sheds.

Getting full results takes between 6 months and 18 months.
