Hair Transplant and Treatments

For problems such as hair loss, the patient first undergoes a preliminary examination. Accordingly, it is decided which type of hair transplant will be performed.

Especially if people care about their appearance, they want to have thicker, shaped hair. If possible, people’s hair follicles are used in hair transplant. Thus, healthy and 100% natural-looking hair is obtained.

 

Excessive and profound hair loss occurs when the scalp is opened. Male hair loss is usually the loss of hair on the top and sides. What is hair transplant? For the hair transplantation process, a section of healthy hair that has not been shed is taken and transplanted to the section with the shed hair.

At the same time, if people have lost a lot of hair and have very little healthy hair, hair transplant can be done with different methods depending on the people’s wishes.

 

Hair Loss Causes

The causes of this problem should be known first to prevent hair loss. For this reason, if people feel that their hair is falling too much, they should have an examination. There are many reasons for hair loss. These:

 

1. Hormones
2. Drugs used in the treatment
3. Chemotherapy
4. Stress
5. Unbalanced and malnutrition
6. Sleep problems
7. Diet

What are the Hair Transplant Stages?

For a hair transplant to be carried out smoothly, the person must be examined and tested in a specialist and reliable centre. Thus, people can confirm why their hair is falling and receive the most appropriate treatment. In cases such as vitamin deficiency, hormone changes or pregnancy, the hair loss problem is resolved with drug therapy and vitamin supplements. However, a hair transplant is performed if women also experience male pattern hair loss.

 

To perform a successful and effective transplant operation, help should be sought from reliable centres operating under hygienic conditions. Thus, transplant is performed using materials to suit the scalp and hair structure of the people. If the transplant is to be done in individuals, the following steps are followed:

 

• First of all, people’s hair should be shaved.
• Local anaesthesia is applied so that individuals do not feel pain.
• The generally preferred hair transplant method is known as FUE.
• It is necessary to examine the hairlines of individuals and make the required measurements.
• Appropriately sized channels are opened for hair follicles taken from individuals’ hair.
• Appropriate roots are placed in the canals.
• The transplant is done, and the patient makes suggestions for rest.

How Much Are Hair Transplant Techniques?

For a hair transplant to be performed, individuals should be examined, and a method for personalized treatment should be determined. Since people’s scalp structures and roots are different, it may be necessary to use original techniques or materials. For this reason, the person who will make the transaction must be experienced and an expert in the field.

Thus, individuals can achieve entire, natural hair that appears as a result of healthy hair transplantation. Hair transplant techniques are divided into two:

 

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): It is the most applied hair transplantation method. The hairs on the nape of the individuals to be transplanted are taken in bunches. These roots are transplanted to areas with hair loss problems. The advantage of the FUE hair transplant method is that between 3000 and 7000 hair follicles can be transplanted.

 

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): Hair follicles taken from the donor area are cut into thin strips according to the FUT technique. The most significant advantage of FUT hair transplantation is that thin strips are taken, it looks natural, and the hair looks fuller.

How Should the Front Hairline Be in Hair Transplant?

Before hair transplantation can be performed, the person must first be examined. If individuals want a fuller appearance at every point of their hair, roots are obtained from the areas (leg, arm, chest hair) where hair follicles can be taken apart from the hair. The appearance of natural hair transplant depends on the creation of the hair front line. The hair front line must be adjusted correctly for natural and aesthetic hair transplant. There are criteria to be considered when determining the front hairline. These:

 

• Width and size of the balding area
• Hair structure and scalp of individuals
• Graft amount
• Physical characteristics and expectations of individuals

 

The hairline is also known as the region that shows whether the hair transplant procedure is successful or not. The hair front line should be determined following the head structure of the people. Unsuccessful and unaesthetic hair front line is among the criteria that indicate hair transplantation. If the front hairline is behind or forward, it requires correction.

These procedures are more challenging than hair transplantation. For this reason, if it is decided to have a hair transplant at the beginning, it is necessary to pay attention to the front line of the hair as much as possible.

How to Adjust Hair Density in Hair Transplant?

 

During hair transplantation, grafts are adjusted according to the expectations of the individuals and the procedure. Hair follicles are taken from the donor area, and channels are opened. Hair transplant is performed by adding hair follicles taken into these channels. The number of grafts to be taken may vary depending on the size of the hair loss problem.

People who want fuller-looking hair can have an average of 80-90 grafts transplanted. However, an average of 50 grafts is sufficient in a standard transplant procedure. Before the hair transplantation, individuals should be informed about how much hair will be transplanted. Thus, people should be ready for their appearance after the procedure.

Process After Hair Transplant

If you want to achieve a natural and healthy appearance after a hair transplant, there is a process that needs attention. Otherwise, the transplanted hair follicles may be damaged and shed. To prevent this and for a more natural healthy hair appearance, the processes should be as follows:

 

• After three days, the first wash is done, and the hair should be washed daily.
• After ten days, the crusts and wounds that remain after the procedure will heal. Hair starts to grow.
• After 20 days, the transplanted hair falls out temporarily. This process varies from person to person. These spills last for a maximum of 3 months.
• After three months, more permanent, robust hair follicles grow in place of the shed hair.
• After six months, it is seen that the transplanted hair follicles start to grow by 70%.
• After eight months, 90% of the hair will grow.
• After 12 months, all of the transplanted hair has a natural appearance.

 

The session rates increase if a hair transplant is done in a considerable area. Thus, a fuller hair appearance is achieved. The number of sessions should be determined by the advice of the specialist who will apply it. You can go to the hairdresser approximately one month after the transplant. However, there are some points to be noted. Haircuts should be done so as not to damage the hair root. Razor, scissors or shaving procedures should not be done on the scalp.

How to Do Hair Transplant?

Hair transplant results are affected by the cause of hair loss, hair type and scalp. New hair formation may be delayed, especially if individuals are losing hair after hormonal changes or essential diseases. If new hair has not yet grown when the condition is over and experts recommend, hair transplantation can be done quickly.

 

Hair transplant should be done by expert and experienced teams. If individuals have decided to have hair transplantation, a good specialist should research, the procedures should be examined, and the comments made about the clinic should be considered.

 

A hair transplant is performed in a medical environment and under hygienic conditions. One of the most frequently asked questions is whether it hurts during the hair procedure. If the person wishes, general anaesthesia is given, and he is put to sleep. Thus, the hair transplantation process takes place more easily. One of the most critical factors affecting the result of hair transplantation is hair structure. Different results are obtained on curly or straight hair.

 

At the same time, the genetic factor determines the frequency and density ratio of the hair. Individuals who have had hair transplantation should rest after the procedure and not be in tired and stressful areas as much as possible.

 

People recover faster when they have a sufficient, balanced diet and pay attention to their sleep patterns. Thus, the hair transplant results of individuals result in more positive results.
