Men and women who experience hair loss can benefit from a hair transplant procedure. There are four different methods for transplanting hair in total. Nowadays, practically everyone gets a hair transplant procedure because of the advancement of technology. If you can locate a reputable clinic, this absolutely permanent operation is also highly dependable.
A hair transplant is a medical procedure in which hair follicles are removed from a donor site on a part of the body and placed in a recipient site for hair loss. The main condition treated with this approach is male pattern baldness.
Contrary to popular belief, women also have hair loss problems. This minimally invasive surgery places hair follicle grafts into the scalp from parts of the body that are genetically less prone to baldness, such as the back of the head.
A popular hair transplant technique is called FUE, or Follicular Unit Extraction. With this process, hair is taken from one part of the head and relocated to the balding area. Before the hair transplant operation, the hair is cut to a length of 1 mm, and the follicles are removed.
The hair strands are implanted in the balding area after a local anesthetic is applied to the transplanted area. The patient is pain-free. There is absolutely no wound or scar on the patient's scalp following the FUE procedure. It is everyone's favorite and most often used technique because of this.
The FUT method has been used for many years as a hair transplant method. Hair transplantation is applied to areas of hair loss after the scalp has been cut and removed from areas of firm hair without hair loss. The hair follicle is stripped and placed at the graft site. Local anesthesia is used, so there is no pain.
Although hair transplantation is very important, patients should take some precautions. This is because the surgery may fail if the patient does not pay attention to the pre-implantation process. Patients should know what to do and what not to do. First of all, patients should inform their doctor of any health problems.
They should avoid coffee and alcohol for at least 10 days before surgery. Using both can affect the effectiveness of local anesthetics that doctors apply to patients before surgery.
Smoking should also be avoided during the first week after surgery, as follicles need more nutrition than ever before. Additionally, it is recommended that you quit smoking to increase the health of your hair.
Do not consume caffeinated beverages, including herbal teas. Also, do not take blood thinners. Stop using hair products before undergoing hair transplant surgery. You should continue to grow your hair naturally.
Rest 2 weeks after hair transplant. Do not wash your hair, especially for the first week. The facility where you undergo the procedure will perform an initial wash. In addition to these two caveats, here are detailed instructions on what to do after a hair transplant.
Refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol after hair transplantation. Do not expose the graft site to direct sunlight. You should also avoid strenuous activity for several weeks. Avoid activities such as the sauna and the sea for the first few weeks. Try to avoid exciting and stressful situations as much as possible. Avoid gels and colorings for a few weeks. Avoid clothing that restricts head space or impedes the ability of the scalp to breathe.
After hair transplantation, attention should be paid to a regular sleep pattern. Getting enough sleep allows your body to produce the hormones it needs.
Sleep with your head and back elevated for a week after surgery. A special pillow is also available for this sleeping position. Your body produces hormones that are good for you while you sleep regularly. It is also important for controlling blood flow. This is because rapid or regular blood flow after hair transplantation is very important for the healing process.
During the healing process, the person needs to be patient. The follicles are moved during a hair transplant. After one week and ten days, the skin graft sections fall off, and three to four weeks later, the hair strands begin to rapidly fall out as cut hairs.
Before the surgery, the patient should be informed of their concerns. The informed patient reacts to these circumstances without becoming anxious or upset. These things occur because of how hair transplants function.
Because of this, waiting for the hair to grow following the transplant may be challenging, but it is a common operation that begins after an average of three months.
