HAIR TRANSPLANTATION

Male pattern hair loss is very common in our society. Since hair is a very important part of beauty, hair loss in women causes serious problems. Women may also experience male pattern hair loss or it may be due to hormone disorders, aging, burns, etc. trauma or diseases. Hair transplantation is the only option in some patients. There are three methods of hair transplantation: FUE, FUT, and DHI. In the FUE method, hair grafts are taken from the side and back of the scalp in the form of follicular units. No scars and incisions. The grafts are placed in the openings in the areas where hair transplantation will be performed. In the FUT method, a long ellipse-shaped scalp is removed from the neck. Small hair grafts are obtained from this region. The area taken from the skin is sewn. There will be a surgical scar. The grafts are placed in the areas where the hair will be transplanted. FUT technique is not preferred today. In the DHI method, for the hair roots / grafts taken from the donor area, no punctures are made in the areas where the hair will be transplanted and the hair roots are directly planted with special tips. All three methods are performed under local anesthesia. After completion of the procedure, the patient goes home and does not wash his hair for 24 hours. Then he starts to wash with special solutions. The transplanted hair is shed after a while. It reappears after 2.5-3 months. Depending on the size of the area requiring planting, hair transplantation can be repeated.
