Hair Transplant

There are three different methods to prevent hair loss problems.

• FUE Technique

The FUE technique which stands for Follicular Unit Extraction is a common hair transplant method. In this procedure, hair is removed from a specific area of the head and transplanted to the balding area. The hair is cut to 1 mm in length before the hair transplant procedure and the follicles are removed. After applying anesthesia to the transplanted location, the hair strands are placed in the balding area. The person doesn’t feel any pain. In the FUE technique, there is no scar or wound on the patient's scalp in any way. For this reason, it is a very common, preferred technique by everyone.

• FUT Technique

The FUT Technique has been used as a hair transplant technique for many years. A hair transplant is applied to the area where there is baldness after the scalps are cut and removed from the areas with solid hair and no hair loss. The hair follicles are cut out in strips and inserted into the transplanted location. Local anesthetic is used, and for this reason, there is no pain experienced.

• DHI Technique

The person's nape's bushy hair is chosen while using the DHI Technique. The hair follicles are checked with the equipment before this treatment. In this procedure, the micromotor device, an innovative technical gadget, is used to remove the healthy hair follicles from the neck, and the excised hair follicles are transplanted one at a time to the area where the baldness is. Before the procedure, a local anesthetic is applied to the patient and his/her head is numbed. For this reason, the patient doesn’t feel any pain. The creation of a unique hairstyle is essential before applying the DHI procedure. Each hair follicle is positioned in this way, one by one, toward the direction that the hair will grow out.

Before a Hair Transplant

A hair transplant operation is quite important, but a patient has to take some precautions. Because if the patient does not care about the process before a hair transplant operation, the operation could fail. The patient should know what to do and what not to do. First, the patient should inform the doctor if she or he has any health problems. You must avoid coffee and alcohol at least ten days before your surgery. Using both could affect how well the local anesthetics your doctor administers to the patient before the surgery. Smoking lowers blood flow to the scalp by constricting blood vessels and reducing nutrient availability to the follicles. For the same reason, smoking should be avoided.

Smoking should also be avoided for the first week following surgery because your follicles need to get enough nutrition at this time more than ever. To increase the health and density of your hair, it is also advisable to give up smoking for good.

You shouldn’t consume caffeine-containing beverages, including herbal tea. You shouldn't also take blood thinners. Please stop using any hair products before having a hair transplant. You should let your hair continue to grow naturally.

After a Hair Transplant

After a hair transplant, you should rest for at least two weeks. Please, avoid washing your hair, particularly during the first week. The facility where you are having the procedure will perform the initial washing process. In addition to these two cautions, we have included detailed instructions below on what you should do after a hair transplant operation.

You should give up smoking and alcohol after hair transplant surgery. The transplanted area shouldn't be exposed to direct sunlight. You should also refrain from strenuous activities for a few weeks. Avoid activities like saunas, and the sea during the first few weeks. You should try to avoid excitement and stressful situations as much as possible. For a few weeks, you should refrain from using gel and dye. Avoid dressing in anything that restricts your head area or hinders the scalp's ability to breathe.

After hair transplant operations, you need to be attentive to your regular sleep pattern. The body can produce the required hormones if you get enough sleep.

Until one week following the operation, you should sleep with your head and back elevated. For this sleeping posture, specialty pillows are also an option.

The body produces hormones that are good for it while sleeping with regular sleep. Additionally, it is important for controlling blood flow. Because a speedy or regular blood flow after hair transplant surgery is crucial for the healing process.

Healing Procedure

The person must be patient in the healing process. During a hair transplant, the follicles are transplanted. The skin graft portions come off after one week and ten days, and three to four weeks later, the hair strands start to shed dramatically as cut hairs.

The patient should be made aware of the worries before the procedure. The knowledgeable patient does not become nervous or disturbed in response to these conditions. Because of the way hair transplants work, these things happen.

Due to this, it may be difficult to wait for the hair to grow after the transplant, but it is a typical procedure that starts after an average of three months.

Every day, a hair strand grows by 0.05 cm; every 10 days, 0.5 cm; and every month, 1.5 cm. Because of this, it could take up to a year or more to see the benefits of your seeding.
