Hair loss, which is a common condition in men, may develop due to aging or various diseases. It does not create an aesthetically pleasing image and may negatively affect social life. Thanks to the modern techniques developed today, hair transplantation can be performed and a much more aesthetic appearance can be achieved.
Hair loss, which is a cosmetic problem, is mostly a condition that occurs in men, but it can also be seen in women from time to time. A normal shedding is between 50 and 100 hairs per day. However, in cases where the shedding is much more than these numbers, the situation should be examined by a specialist. Today, although PRP or laser treatments reduce hair loss to a minimum, hair transplantation is required for a permanent solution in people with intense shedding.
In cases where the hair is thinning or completely bald, hair transplantation helps to gain a natural and aesthetic appearance. In hair transplantation, hair follicles that are resistant to shedding are collected from the nape area and transplanted into channels opened in areas where there is little or no hair. Hair transplantation, which is a microsurgical operation, is performed under local anesthesia.
Lip aesthetics is the name given to all the operations that are planned according to the needs of the person and include more than one technique.
The procedures applied during hair transplantation differ according to the method to be applied. For example, in some methods, patients need to be shaved, while in some methods, shaving is not required. In general, the steps followed in all methods are as follows:
These stages may differ according to the different methods used in hair transplantation. Although the FUE method is the most up-to-date and frequently used method in hair transplantation, different methods can be used when deemed necessary.
The most commonly used methods in hair transplantation are FUE, Sapphire, DHI and unshaven hair transplantation. At the same time, female hair transplantation can also be performed. The details of these methods are as follows:
In the FUE method, called Follicular Unit Extraction, no cutting or sewing is required. Only microsurgical instruments are used during the procedure. With these tools, hair follicles are extracted one by one from the upper part of the ear or the nape, where the hair density is high, and planted in areas where there is no hair. While this procedure can be performed without anesthesia or sedation, this may change according to patient demands. There is no scar after the procedure and the procedure is risk-free. The time to return to normal life is extremely short.
Sapphire hair transplantation, which is one of the most frequently used methods to achieve a natural result, uses sharp-tipped pens made of sapphire. Thanks to this method, which is an advanced FUE procedure, the maximum number of grafts can be transplanted.
DHI or Direct Hair Implantation, In the DHI method, special medical pens are used and these pens are called Choi. With Choi pens, both the graft collection rate and the success of the operation are at a high level. There are no procedures such as incision or channel opening. In other words, there is no scar on the head after the procedure. For this reason, the time to return to normal life is also short. There is no obligation to cut the hair in the DHI method, and people with long hair can also benefit from the DHI method. In the DHI method, which is applied in two stages, both the hair gains an intense appearance and the quality of the hair is increased.
These are the 3 basic methods used in hair transplantation. Some of these methods are also used for unshaven hair transplantation and female hair transplantation.
