WHAT IS HAIR TRANSPLANT?

One of the most common problems today is hair loss. It is normal to shed between 50 and 100 strands of hair per day. If there is more spillage than this, a specialist should be consulted. Hair transplantation, also known as a permanent solution to baldness, a process that has been applied for many years but now it is much faster and more practical with today’s technology. Hair transplantation, which is frequently used for hair to regain its fuller appearance, can be done with different methods. Although the differences between the methods change the hair transplantation technique, the goal in each procedure is to regain the hair follicles in the area where the hair has become sparse or completely shed.

HOW TO DO HAIR TRANSPLANTATION?

The purpose of hair transplantation is to transplant the hair follicles to the bald area. With the hair transplantation operation, genetically resistant hair follicles are collected from the nape of the patient and transplanted into the channels opened in the areas where baldness or thinning occurs. Hair follicles collected during hair transplantation are called grafts. Hair transplant operation is a microsurgical operation performed under local anesthesia and then the grafts are collected.

WHAT ARE THE FUNDAMENTAL PHASES OF HAIR TRANSPLANTATION?

Use of local anesthesia

The area where the grafts will be harvested and planted is anesthetized prior to the procedure for the patient’s convenience and comfort. Topical creams or specific anesthetic spraying equipment might be used for this treatment. During the local anesthetic technique, the patient’s degree of comfort is increased without the use of a needle.

Collection of follicles

To get a realistic appearance following hair transplantation, the appropriate amount of grafts must be obtained. Depending on the intended hair density and the diameter of the balding area, a different number of grafts may be used. The donor area, or the region from which the hair follicles are removed, must not be deformed during the transplant collection process. With a micro motor hand piece, the necessary grafts are individually collected.

Channel Opening

The depth and size of opening the channels appropriately for the location have an impact on how quickly hair grows. It is important to open a channel that is appropriate for the size and length of the transplanted hair follicle. To get the most realistic perspective, the canal’s angle should also be properly adjusted.

Transplanting Hair follicles into the channels

The hair transplant procedure is finished when the gathered follicles are implanted one by one at 40 to 45-degree angles in the opening canals.

ADVANCED HAIR TRANSPLANTATION TECHNIQUES

FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT

In the FUE (Folicular Unit Extraction) hair transplantation method performed with local anesthesia, individual grafts are collected from the donor area with a hand tool, also known as FUE micromotor. With the FUE hair transplant technique, 2000 to 5000 grafts can be collected in a single session. The collected grafts are transferred to the recipient area as soon as possible. It is the most common hair transplant technique.

SAPPHIRE FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT

The metal slit is replaced with a customized sapphire tip pen in the channel opening step of the Sapphire FUE hair transplantation procedure. These sapphire tips, which enable the opening of smaller microchannels and so speed up healing and lessen crusting, are what distinguish the approach from others.

DHI HAIR TRANSPLANT

Channel opening and graft placement are done concurrently during the DHI hair transplantation procedure, which is done without the use of incisions. The gathered grafts’ quality is unaffected in this way. First, a specific solution is applied to the grafts that were collected using the DHI procedure. After the graft collection procedure is finished, the grafts are taken out of the solution and transplantation is carried out without the need for extra channel opening.

MANUAL FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT

It is the original hair transplant technique and it can be referred to as the ancestor of all FUE hair transplantation methods now in use. It was created as an alternative to the FUT technique, which involves removing some skin from the donor area and leaving a horizontal suture scar that is clearly visible.

The skin surrounding the hair is cut and grafts are acquired by twisting the punches with the aid of fingers. In the method, which was initially carried out with big biopsy punches, the punches were also developed over time, reduced in size, and specialized for this task.

The ability to remove the grafts with the least amount of harm is a major benefit. The hair transplant surgeon controls every step of the procedure and carefully selects the hair follicles for each graft.

WOMEN HAIR TRANSPLANT

Women can undergo hair transplantation with or without shaving. The planting technique is chosen based on the individual’s preferences.

Women can have a single session of hair transplant surgery similar to men, with the option of a second treatment for increased density in 6 to 8 months.

PREPARATION FOR HAIR TRANSPLANT

The quantity of grafts is one of the most crucial factors to be decided upon before hair transplantation. The first time a patient visits the clinic, the doctor will examine them and determine how many grafts are required. The patient is next subjected to the required tests, including those for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hemograms, and PT (bleeding time) tests. Following these testing, a decision is made regarding whether to continue the procedure or to cancel it. In those who are HIV positive or have Hepatitis C, hair transplantation is not done.

WHAT IS PRP HAIR TREATMENT?

WHAT IS THE LIFE TIME TRANSPLANTED HAIR?

The transplanted hair remains safe and lasts a lifetime.

WHAT IS REGENERA ACTIVA?
