Hair Transplant
Hair Transplant
Hair transplant is applied to eliminate the problem of sparseness and baldness as a result of hair loss. It is a permanent treatment method. Generally, the hair follicles collected from the nape of the patient are transplanted to the area where they are needed. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Therefore, you will not feel any pain. This surgery is a microsurgery. For this reason, the procedure must be performed in a hospital environment and by an experienced doctor.
If you have a hair loss complaint, you should first undergo a health screening. This way you can find out if there is a health problem causing hair loss. Some health problems, such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies and hormonal problems, cause hair loss. If these problems are detected, treatment should be applied first.
Types of Hair Transplant
There are three different hair transplantation techniques that are frequently applied. These are FUT, FUE and DHI hair transplantation techniques. In all three methods, live hair follicle transplantation is performed. The methods applied are performed under local anesthesia. The reason for the division of the methods into three is the difference in the way of hair removal. The best hair transplantation method is determined by the hair transplant specialist depending on many reasons such as the rate of hair loss of the person, the location of the donor area.
FUE Hair Transplant
FUE hair transplant (follicular unit extraction) is used worldwide to permanently solve hair loss and hair loss problems. It is a very up-to-date technique. It is a three-step process. However, it is carried out by planting the hair follicles collected from the hairy area on the back of the head to the balding areas where thinning is seen. Thanks to FUE hair restoration, people who experience hair loss only spare 7-8 hours. In this way, you can have natural, healthy, and lush hair consisting of your own hair follicles that you can use for a lifetime. FUE hair transplant is among the most preferred aesthetic applications of men today. This technique allows women as well as men to achieve healthy, painless, fast and comfortable hair that looks as natural as their own.
FUT Hair Transplant
In this procedure, your doctor removes your hair follicles from your donor area in a strip. Then it sows these hair follicles in the area to be transplanted. However, with the development of technology in recent years, the FUT method has left its place to the FUE method. However, the FUT method is also applied from time to time. If you have permanent hair loss, this method may be suitable for you. However, you must be over 22 years of age to have hair transplantation. Because you can relive the problem of hair loss after the procedures performed before this age. For this, it is useful to be over a certain age limit when having the procedure.
DHI Hair Transplant
DHI hair transplant is the most frequently applied method after FUE hair transplantation. In this process, hair follicles to be taken from the nape of the neck are usually preferred. DHI method is considered to be one of the most advantageous methods in terms of shortness of recovery time and the possibility of performing many hair transplants in a single session. This process aims to close the balding areas by condensing them without damaging the hair and healthy roots on your skin. Thanks to this method, you will have a much more frequent and natural hairstyle. Before the procedure, your doctor examines your hair follicles in detail with high-resolution imaging devices.
