Dr. Hairneva Hair Transplantation Center Specialists, under the supervision of Current Öztürk, state that today hair transplantation results can result in a much more natural appearance.

Hair transplantation techniques offer a much more successful, natural and effortless operation compared to traditional methods. There are suitable treatment options for men and women who cannot find a solution to the problem of hair loss with medical treatments and have permanent baldness. Here are 7 things you need to know about hair transplantation:

 

Hair transplant is not just for men

 

You can choose prosthetic hair instead of hair transplantation, but it is usually associated with men who are looking for a cure for male pattern hair loss, but the number of women who have hair transplantation is also increasing. The majority of women seek support from hair transplant surgery to bring down the front hairline or increase the density of hair surrounding their face.

 

Not everyone experiencing hair loss may be a good candidate for a hair transplant.

 

Although a hair transplant can make a big difference for many people who experience hair loss, the procedure is not for everyone. The person must have enough donor hair to be transferred to sparse or balding areas. The type of hair loss that the person has can also affect the hair transplant operation. Androgenic hair loss (male pattern baldness) caused by high levels of the male hormone androgen is usually the most suitable type for this procedure. The donor hair should also not be in the process of reduction, that is, they should not be shed. Donor areas in the body of patients in this situation can also be used. In order to find out if the person is a suitable candidate for hair transplantation, he or she should get specific information from the hair transplant specialist.

 

There are two ways to get healthy hair follicles.

 

The purpose of all hair transplantation techniques is the same, to provide an evenly distributed hair density. The difference is the way the hair follicles are taken and transplanted. All techniques are performed under local anesthesia. There are two different methods used for removing hair follicles. After being anesthetized, healthy hair follicles are harvested from the donor area – the back of the head. Hair follicles can be taken in a small layer in the form of an ellipse. Or using the micromotor technique where the hair is taken one by one. FUE technique is a technique in which hair follicles are taken one by one. And the FUE group has many subgroups of DHI (direct hair transplantation technique).

 

The procedure can take up to eight hours.

Patients must afford to spend the majority of their day at their surgeon’s medical centers, and if their surgeon uses mild sedation for their patients, they need a friend or family member to drive them home. The hair transplant procedure is an all-day procedure that takes between five and eight hours. It is performed under local anesthesia and the patients are in a comfortable position. They can spend most of the day watching movies in a semi-reclining position in a chair. Results must be waited for. Existing hair can be preserved with techniques such as the DHI technique, which do not require shaving the hair. It may take several months for the new hair to grow completely.

Hair transplantation can look completely natural as long as the right surgeon is chosen.

Hair transplant candidates may be worried about the attractiveness of their results, but with a skilled and qualified surgeon, it will not be obvious that you have had a hair transplant. When done by a trusted doctor, the results can look completely natural. Technically, any doctor can perform a hair transplant, so when looking for this trusted doctor, it is recommended to look for someone with extensive surgical hair transplant experience. Every man and woman has different hair density, hair caliber, hair color, hair curl, hairline. The angles and directions of the patient’s hair follicles are also different. In order to have the most natural look, all of this must be in harmony with natural hair.

Before the new hair is fully grown, a shock shedding process is experienced.

Although hair transplantation is a relatively low-risk procedure, most people who have hair transplantation panic during the shock loss process. As the hair follicles start to grow again, it enters a temporary shedding process of approximately 10 to 20 percent and returns to the natural hair cycle. This may continue up to a few weeks after the hair transplant procedure, and it may take about six months or more for the transplanted hairs to complete their growth process.

 

Hair transplantation can also be done on the eyebrow, beard and mustache.

The head area is not the only area that can benefit from a hair transplant. It is also becoming more and more popular to transfer eyebrows, beard, mustache follicles. In these areas, hair, chest or leg hair can be used as a donor area.
