Hair follicles may weaken due to many factors such as genetics, aging, lack of regular nutrition and stress. Not only the weakening of the hair follicles, but also the decrease in hair density and retention can cause baldness problems in people. Today, hair transplantation is among the most preferred treatments in aesthetics in recent years.

One of the most important factors that directly affect human health and psychology is hair. For this reason, hair transplantation is not only aesthetic beauty. It is one of the treatments performed to help people regain their self-confidence and positively affect their mental health.

Hair transplantation is a microsurgical method performed in a hospital environment. Although it is a much lighter procedure than a normal surgical procedure, it is also a procedure that can cause health problems in wrong applications. Therefore, it should be done under the supervision of a doctor.

Hair transplantation is an effective and permanent solution for androgenic type, that is, male type hair loss. It is also extremely effective and permanent in androgenic type spills that appear in women.

In addition, hair transplantation is the definitive solution to areas where there are scars or losses due to other reasons.

Hair Transplant Process

• Initial evaluation and determination of patient expectations

 When our patient applies to us, the donor areas and the opening to be transplanted are evaluated in the first stage. In the second stage, the general examination of our patient is performed. In the general examination, we collect and record information about whether the patient has a chronic disease, whether he or she has regular drug use, whether he has any allergies and whether he has had any previous operations. As a result, if we consider the general condition of the patient suitable for the operation, we listen to our patient's expectations from the hair transplant operation. If the condition and expectation of our patient's hair match, we can proceed to the operation phase.

• Hair transplantation and method decision

When deciding on the hair transplantation method, the patient's to be transplanted area is very important. We can examine the evaluation made while making a decision in 3 stages:

1) If the area to be planted is fully open, we prefer the FUE sapphire method. It is possible to reach a higher number of grafts with this method.

2) If the patient has hair but it is sparse or if the patient is a woman, we prefer the DHI method.

3) In some cases, both methods are used in combination. If the front row is completely empty, a few rows of FUE sapphires are channeled and planted, while the other parts can be planted with the DHI method.

In the evaluation interview with the patient, we explain all the methods in detail and decide on the method to be done with the patient.

• Pre-operation preparation process

Before the operation, the patient's blood tests are done. Vital signs are evaluated with blood pressure and pulse measurement, oxygen saturation measurement and EKG. If the values ​​are normal, the patient is shaved and the operation is started.

• Operation process

The patient should be followed up by the doctor throughout the operation. The patient's blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation, and ECG findings should be monitored.

• PRP application after hair transplantation

After the hair transplantation is completed, the blood taken from the patient is subjected to a special process and the PRP obtained is applied to the transplantation area. For detailed information, you can refer to the section about PRP.

• Recommended lotions, shampoos and medicines

Medicines, lotions and shampoos that the patient should use are given to our patients after the operation and also the information about their use is given. These are shampoos and lotions suitable for use after hair transplantation.

• Healing process

The first day after the operation is very important. When the risk of hitting the head is high due to the lack of coordination due to the effect of local anesthesia, special attention should be paid to the planting area and the transplanted area should be protected against impacts. On the 2nd day, the bandage is removed and the dressing is made. On the 3rd day, washing is started.

The first month is very important in the healing process. In order for the transplanted hair root to adhere, the transplanted area must be protected against external impacts and hard frictions.

12.-15. Crusts are poured between days and 1 more PRP is done if possible. Between 15 days and 45 days, the transplanted hair usually falls out (this is at the rate of 70%). Hair growth will continue. As of the 6th month, the transplanted hair will grow. The process will be fully completed within 1 year.

• How is patient follow-up done during the healing process?

The patient is invited to the clinic the day after the operation, and his control and his dressing is done.

Afterwards, if our patient lives abroad or outside the city and has returned home after the operation, photographs are requested at regular intervals for the first 2 weeks and followed up. 3,6,9,12 after 15 days. Photographs are requested and followed up every month.

We especially want our patients to contact us whenever they need it. They can get support from our doctor at any time by contacting us.

• When does the hair start to grow after hair transplantation?

You can get rid of existing crusts by washing your hair every day for a week after hair transplantation. After about 15 days, hair transplantation becomes unnoticeable in the treated person. After this process, hair loss can be seen up to 3 months. After the 6th month of the operation, new hair begins to grow in the patient.
