Who can have hair transplantation?
Those who do not have a serious chronic disease (cardiovascular, kidney diseases, uncontrolled diabetes, bleeding and clotting disorders such as hemophilia, etc.), have sufficient hair for transplantation in the area where the hair will be taken. Adults who have hair and do not have any skin disorders in the area to be transplanted can have hair transplanted.
When will the results be received?
Hair transplanted within 2-6 weeks after transplantation. Most of the hair is lost. However, the hair follicles remain under the skin. Approximately 10 weeks after transplantation, new hair begins to grow from existing hair follicles. Rarely, the hair in transplanted hair grafts continues to grow without falling out.
8-12 months after hair transplantation is the best time to evaluate the result of hair transplantation. From the time the hair first begins to grow until this date, the hair gradually becomes thicker and approaches the thickness of the hair on the nape of the neck.
When should it be done?
Hair loss usually causes aesthetic anxiety in people. and the person may feel very uncomfortable due to the hair loss problem. If the person first determines his/her expectations regarding hair transplantation, the results may be more promising. After hair transplantation, thick hair as if born to the mother can never be achieved. If the person knows this, his expectations will be more realistic and he will not be disappointed after the hair transplant.
People who want to have a hair transplant may have the wrong idea that all their hair should fall out and then they will apply for the hair transplant. Because hair transplantation is the transplantation of the hair on the person's head to the areas where the person needs hair transplantation. Once all the hair is lost, no hair can be found for transplantation. For this reason, you need to consult a doctor after your hair loss begins.
Can women have a hair transplant?
The hair loss problem seen in women is different from that seen in men. The level of testosterone hormone in women is naturally much lower than in men.
For this reason, the problem of hair loss in women is based on very different reasons. For this reason, the doctor first investigates the cause of this problem together with the patient. As a result of the examinations, if the doctor finds the person suitable for the operation, the same area is applied in women as in men (between the two ears and on the top of the neck). The remaining area) is used as the donor area and the hair follicles taken one by one with the same technique are placed one by one in the open area in the same way.
If weakness is detected in the hair in areas where there is no loss problem, hair strengthening treatments can be applied after the operation.
What should be taken into consideration after hair transplantation?
Newly transplanted roots are very sensitive. Especially in order for the new follicles to adapt smoothly, people who have had a hair transplant must strictly avoid contact with water and the use of cosmetic products for the first 2 days after the operation. On the 3rd day after the hair transplantation, the first wash is given to the patient in the center where the transplantation is performed, and on the following days, the patient is shown practically how to wash.
Thin blood leaks occur from the holes opened in the hair transplantation areas, and these clot and form on the scalp. It appears as crusting. Removing or tampering with these crusts may cause damage or even dislocation of the newly planted roots that are in the adaptation process. For this reason, crusting is never intervened.
In the first days after the operation, it is recommended to apply ice compresses as much as possible. Thus, swelling that may occur after the operation is prevented.
People who have had hair transplantation are prohibited from entering the pool, sea, solarium and sauna or doing sports for 1 month.
For those who have had hair transplantation in the summer months, sun exposure is prohibited. A hat can be used to protect from light and heat.
It is recommended that the patient lie on his back for a week after the transplantation and avoid touching the transplanted area to the pillow as much as possible.
For 5 days after the hair transplantation operation, Antibiotics and painkillers recommended by the doctor should be used.
WHAT ARE THE HAIR TRANSPLANTATION METHODS?
Today, the most common methods are FUT (Follicular unit transplantation), FUE (Follicular unit extraction). Hair transplantation is performed using different techniques. In some patients, both techniques can be used together. In the FUT technique, a spindle-shaped piece of skin that does not create tension on the scalp is removed from the healthy hair area on the nape, paying attention to the angle of the hair follicles. Then this The piece of hair is divided under the microscope into hair grafts containing 1,2 or 3,4 hair follicles. The area where the skin was removed is repaired with surgical stitches. A scar in the form of a thin line is formed in this area, which can be covered with hair. The FUE method, developed later than the FUT method, is a more comfortable method in which hair grafts are removed one by one by a special tool. With this method, there is no scar left on the area where the hair is taken, and it is possible to take a graft from the scalp over the ear. In addition, hair transplantation can be performed with the FUE method for patients who have had several sessions of the FUT method and cannot undergo the FUT method again.
In both methods, the hair grafts taken are divided into groups according to the hair follicles they contain and prepared for transplantation. The front hairline is determined in the area where hair extraction will be performed. Small holes are opened by paying attention to the direction of the existing hair in the area. During this process, the hair follicles in the area are not damaged and holes are opened by paying attention to the hair density in the area. Hair grafts containing 1.2 roots are preferably used to create the front hairline. Grafts containing more hair follicles are used to increase the density of hair in the hair spiral created in the crown area. After the transplantation, the area is cleaned.
WHAT IS THE FUE TECHNIQUE?
With the developing technology, the technology used in hair transplantation has reached its peak with the Fue hair transplantation method. It literally describes the way the hair follicle is harvested. It defines that the hair follicle is taken one by one, not in blocks as in FUT hair transplantation.

Hair loss affects both men and women in society. It is a common health problem that affects people's social life and has negative effects on them. There are many reasons for hair loss. The most common type of hair loss we see is "androgenic alopecia", also known as male pattern hair loss, which is caused by genetic predisposition. This type of hair loss usually begins with hair loss towards the back on both sides of the forehead. Then the front hairline is distorted. This causes the person to spend more time in the mirror straightening their hair in the morning. Sometimes, hair loss on the top of the head is added to the picture after a short time. Hair loss, which begins in a similar way in women, usually does not cause deterioration in the front hairline. It manifests itself with a general thinning from the front hairline to the crown area. The earlier hair loss begins, the faster the development of baldness. Hair loss can be stopped by using medical treatments such as various shampoos, creams and ampoules.
The "minimally invasive" method in hair transplantation is FUE hair transplantation, and it has less tissue damage and associated work than the old methods. It does not cause loss of power. FUE hair transplantation method is not a surgery like other hair transplantation techniques and does not carry general surgery risks such as pain, wound, infection, bleeding, wound opening and scarring. Since the graft taken in FUE hair transplantation is standard and uniform, transplantation can be done without cutting the skin in the area to be transplanted and by giving the hair at the desired angle. FUE hair transplantation style gives the hair the closest appearance to nature. According to hair transplantation experts, one of the most important differences between FUE hair transplantation and FUT hair transplantation is that the angle of hair transplantation is in the hands of the hair transplantation specialist.
But when the treatment is stopped, hair loss continues. A permanent and effective solution is hair transplantation in suitable patients.
