Hair Transplantation

Hair transplantation is a natural and permanent solution to the problem of thinning and baldness caused by hair loss. During a hair transplant operation, genetically resistant hair follicles are harvested from the nape of the neck and transplanted into channels opened in the bald or thinning areas. Hair transplantation is a microsurgical procedure performed under local anesthesia. Therefore, it should be performed in a hospital setting and under the supervision of an anesthesiologist.

Who is a Suitable Candidate for Hair Transplantation?

Candidates for hair transplantation are first evaluated based on their medical history and examinations to determine the suitability of the procedure. Individuals suitable for hair transplantation may include:

Those experiencing hair loss due to genetic or hormonal factors.
Those who have previously undergone hair transplantation but were not satisfied with the results.
Those with insufficient hair density or thinning hair.
Those who cannot dedicate enough time to hair care and treatments.
Those experiencing hair loss or thinning due to various health problems.
Those who are not pregnant.
Those without heart disease or chronic illnesses are suitable candidates for hair transplantation.

How is Hair Transplantation Performed?

Basic Stages of Hair Transplantation

Hair transplantation surgery is performed in three main stages:

1. Harvesting Hair Follicles

After the donor area is prepared for the procedure, hair follicles are harvested one by one using an FUE motor. It is crucial that the follicles are not damaged during this process. Each of these follicles, called grafts, contains an average of 2-3 hair strands.

2. Opening Channels

Opening channels of the correct size and depth, depending on the area, affects the success rate of the transplanted hair. Care should be taken to open channels suitable for the size and length of the hair follicles to be transplanted. The angle of the channel should also be well adjusted to achieve the most natural appearance.

3. Implanting Follicles into the Opened Channels

In the final stage, the harvested follicles are placed one by one into the opened channels at angles of 40-45 degrees, and the hair transplantation operation is completed.
