Hair Transplant
Why does hair loss happen?
One of the most important causes of hair loss is genetic coding; however, it can also occur as a result of advancing age, traumatic injuries or various medical conditions. Hair transplantation is successfully applied to all people who have sufficient hair follicles in the donor area after the diagnosis is made with a doctor’s control.
The transplantation method can be successfully applied not only to the scalp but also to all areas of the body that have hair such as eyebrows, mustache or beard.
How is hair transplantation done?
In the application, hair follicles taken from the nape of the neck are usually transplanted to the targeted balding area. These hair follicles are called grafts. Rarely, in some cases, there is not enough healthy hair in the nape of the neck or temple area. In such cases, hair follicles can be harvested from other areas containing hair such as the arms or chest wall. The application takes place in a few hours depending on the amount of hair loss. If the balding area is very large, several sessions may be required to complete the treatment.
Which methods are used for hair transplantation?
In hair transplantation procedures; FUE method, which does not leave a scar, or FUE method, which can leave a slight scar on the nape of the neck, are successfully applied. In the FUE method, hair follicles are taken one by one and transplanted to the missing areas, while in the FUE method, a skin line containing hair is removed from the nape of the neck. The person to undergo hair transplantation should have healthy hair on the head and sides to be used as a donor area. Other factors such as hair color, degree of hardness, wavy and bushy hair also affect the result of the procedure.
What is the most important factor for hair transplantation?
Hair transplantation is a serious surgical procedure. In order to minimize the risks of hair transplantation, it should be performed in a hospital environment. It is very important that it is performed by well-trained and experienced plastic surgeons in order to get the best results. In order for the hair transplantation to be successful in the operation, the transplanted hair follicles must bleed quickly in the area where they are placed, that is, they must “hold”. If a correct technique is applied, the success rate of hair transplantation is quite high. For a natural appearance, it is very important to transplant the hair to the bald areas at the right distance, at the right angle and at the right density.
