Hair Care

It is impossible to prevent hair from shedding after delivery, which has strengthened during pregnancy. If a woman suffers from hair loss during pregnancy, it means she has vitamin or mineral deficiency. Deficiency can be established with the aid of required tests, and can be restored with the proper treatment. Hair loss that occur out of the natural cycle, can be treated with Reversa.

Reversa treatment does not contain toxic substances

During pregnancy and postnatal period, local anesthetics should not be used as they are toxic to baby. The hair goes back to its normal routine 1 year after the delivery. In this period, Reversa treatment can be safely applied, as it does not contain any toxic substances.

It is of great importance both for men and women to have their hair cleaned with ozone therapy, because even if a person bathes every day, it is not possible to clean his hair and scalp equally. Ozone therapy aims to deep clean the scalp and purify the pores.

Ozone treatment is an easy procedure, which requires a bonnet to be put on the hair for 15 minutes. The follicles, where the hair strands grow, are of great importance, because the natural secretion of the skin, also called sebum, combines with the external contaminants, and clog the pores. These clogged pores disrupt the natural function of the follicles, and also fasten the male-pattern hair loss, because it contains DHT, which the testosterone transforms into.

Our hair is the mirror of our beauty. Even when we put on the best make-up or wear the most beautiful dresses, it is impossible to look good if we have unhealthy and neglected hair. For this reason, we have to take care of and protect our hair while we still have it. Here are the suggestions of Melike Külahçı, MD, who is the Medical Director of Transmed, to have healthier and better looking hair.

Boost your fine hair with silicone

Fine and limp hair is the most common problem among women, however, only a few of them knows the best solution to eliminate it. Heavy hair conditioners leave your hair limp. The best method is to use the silicone-based products containing cyclomethicone and dimethicone. Such products form a thin film-like layer on the hair, thus provide a voluminous look and eliminate the oily appearance. Even after it is washed off, silicone remains on the hair.

Beard and moustache have always been the symbol of masculinity from past to the present. With the hipster fashion taking the entire world by storm, beard and moustache are gaining solid ground.

Well, is there a solution for the congenitally less beard or moustache growth? The answer is yes! Melika Külahçı, MD, says:

We know how important hair is for a man’s appearance. However, beard and moustache are of great significance for a man’s self-confidence. Some men may not have as thick beard and/or moustache as they want to or his facial hair may not be distributed evenly.

1) It is your genetic inheritance:

It actually is your genetics to decide how much body hair you will have. The peach fuzz on the body is called “vellus”. This term derives from “fleece”, which means “polar” in Latin. The long, hard and pigmented hairs are called terminal hairs, and located on the eyelashes, eyebrows, scalp, chin, arms and groins. According to Professor Margaret E. Wierman at the Colorado University Medical Center, people of different races have different number of terminal hairs. Wierman says “the Asians have the least, while the Hispanics and Middle Eastern people have the most terminal hairs”.

Almost everyone, who suffers from hair loss, has the same questions in his mind.

Regardless of the location, whether they are from Istanbul, Ankara or Izmir; many people in Turkey and almost every country of the world look for the reasons of why their hair shed. This is followed by the searches to learn the solution methods. The most frequently asked questions about it are as follows: how is hair transplant done, where to get hair transplantation, who is eligible for hair transplant, how much does hair transplantation cost?  Unfortunately, there are many contradicting statements in many sources on the internet.

Most of our patients wonder when the transplanted part would heal and whether or not they would experience any pain during the operation after the hair transplantation. If the patient is anesthetized locally for the hair transplantation operation, the patient does not feel any pain or ache.  Following the hair transplantation, there will be a thin layer of crust and scab on the scalp, which is a normal.

This layer of crust and scab on the scalp heals and shed like dandruff within  10 days if the head is washed regularly everyday. The patient can wear a cloth hat during this period, and continue his daily and business life. At the end of 3 months the transplanted hairs start to grow slowly, at the end of 9 months, in almost 1 year the person embraces his new appearance with his transplanted hairs.

PRP supported hair transplantation, robotic hair transplantation, stem cell supported hair transplantation, motorized FUE, unshaven FUE… The list goes on and on! Well then, which of these hair transplantation methods is suitable for you?

In order to evaluate the hair transplantation methods, let’s first take a look at the step of a hair transplantation:

1. Shortening or shaving of hair
2. Planning on the transplant area
3. Application of local anesthesia on the area
4. Collection of the hair follicles
5. Preparation of the follicles for planting
6. Transplantation of the hair follicles to the new area

There are two different hair transplantation methods accepted in the medical literature The first method is the FUE method where the follicles are individually collected from the back of the head and the second methods is the FUT technique. Both methods are viable for the collection of the follicles.
