Hair transplantation is a complex process that requires the expertise of a qualified doctor and team.A personalized treatment must be developed in order to provide a healthy and reliable hair transplantation process.Performing hair transplantation in a sterile and hygienic hospital or clinic environment will minimize the risks of hair transplantation.An experienced surgeon and a professional team are essential for a healthy and successful hair transplantation.

Hair Transplantation Implementation 

Hair transplant is an operation that takes 6-8 hours with local anesthesia. In the first stage of hair transplant, hair follicles are collected by doctors. Then the channel is opened to place the collected roots and finally the roots are planted one by one.

In any hair transplant operation performed by a specialist doctor and an experienced team, there is no thinning in the areas where the roots are taken.

Which Methods Are Used in Hair Transplantation? What are the Types of Hair Transplantation?

There are two different hair transplantation methods accepted in the medical literature. First one It is the FUE method in which the roots are collected one by one from the nape and the second is FUT technique. Both methods are applicable for the collection of roots.However frequently in internet searches and self-promotion of medical centers alternative methods are mentioned by different names. All other treatment

shapes; They are different variants of FUT or FUE technique.

• Unshaven FUE: In this method, the hair is not scraped; according to the convenience of the medical guest, the roots are collected as they are and placed in their new places. Its advantage is that the person can return to his social life faster after the intervention. The downside is that the attempt takes too long and can be damaged while rooting.
• PRP Supported Hair Transplantation: In this method, our medical guest’s own blood cells are supported. Just before the hair transplantation, the blood taken from our medical guest is separated by a special method and the resulting plasma is applied to the head. Its advantage is to increase the survival rate of the newly transplanted hair in their new location by about 5% from the already high 90%. The downside is that it cannot replace a hair transplant.

The Most Important Factor to Be Considered in Hair Transplantation!

Hygiene is the most important factor in hair transplantation and must be done in a clinical environment under the supervision of specialist doctors to reduce any potential risks. At the same time, in order for the hair follicles to hold their place during the operation, that area needs to be blooded. The technique that the doctor will apply according to the hair analysis of the patient is also important. Thus, the success rate of hair transplantation applied at the right density, angle and distance will be quite high.

Success in Hair Transplantation: Natural look after recovery 

To ensure a successful hair transplant, the transplanted hair follicles should be inserted quickly in the blooded area where they are put; this is known as holding.

Correct application increases the chance of success of hair transplantation. For a natural look, it is very important to plant the hair at the right distance, at the right angle and at the right density to the bald areas. The doctor’s experience in this field is important for a natural-looking hair transplant result following the healing process.

Although hair transplantation is a relatively comfortable procedure operation conducted performed for aesthetic reasons, especially with the advancement of technology in recent years, it should not be ignored that it is a surgical operation.
As with any surgical procedure, patients may have temporary discomfort as a result of the hair transplantation procedure, but each of them is normal and expected.
