Hair loss or baldness, as it is popularly called, is a common problem especially for men today. In the world, 7 out of every 10 men face hair loss problem. Factors such as genetic structure, stress, health problems, advanced age and accidents are among the leading causes of hair loss. Hair loss, which we can define as hair thinning or complete loss of hair in one area, affects people’s psychology; It is a situation that reduces self-confidence and life motivation. Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure in which hair follicles are taken from a healthy area and transplanted to the areas where hair loss or baldness occurs..
Hair transplantation is a surgical intervention performed on people with hair loss or baldness in order to regrow hair. This procedure involves taking hair follicles from areas where hair follicles are more dense and transplanting them to sparse or shedding areas. In hair transplantation, the patient’s own hair is usually used and the results provide natural-looking hair regrowth. This procedure is a widely used treatment method to solve hair loss problems in both men and women.
Hair transplantation treatment can be considered and applied in the following cases:
There is a suitable hair transplant treatment option and technique for every situation. Hair transplantation in Turkey is performed according to a personalised plan, taking into account the person’s general health status, hair structure and expected results.
Candidates for hair transplantation are first evaluated for the applicability of this procedure as a result of their medical history and examinations. Individuals who are suitable for hair transplantation can be as follows:
A detailed examination by a hair transplant specialist or plastic surgeon is required to assess whether you are a suitable candidate for hair transplantation. However, in general, suitable candidates for hair transplantation should meet the following criteria:
The hair transplant operation is performed in three stages;
1. Collection of hair follicles
After the donor area is prepared for the procedure, the hair follicles are collected one by one with the FUE motor. In the meantime, it is very important not to damage the follicles. Each of these follicles, called grafts, contains an average of 2-3 hair strands.
2. Opening the channels
Opening the channels in the right size and depth according to the area where the transplanted hair is located affects the growth rate. Care should be taken to open the appropriate channel for the size and length of the hair follicle. The angle of the channel should be adjusted well to achieve the most natural appearance.
3. Transplanting the roots into the opened channels
In the last stage, the collected roots are placed one by one in the opened channels at 40-45 degree angles and the hair transplant operation is completed.
Hair transplantation is performed with different methods in the light of modern technological developments in the collection and placement of grafts. These methods are applied in accordance with the size of the area to be transplanted and the needs of the patient. These techniques used in the collection and transplantation of hair follicles have been developed to achieve precise and natural results in hair transplantation. Hair transplantation methods we apply in our clinics:
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplantation is a modern hair transplantation method in which hair follicles are extracted and transplanted one by one. In this method, healthy hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area (nape or sides of the head). Each follicle is a unit with natural groups and contains 1 to 4 hairs. These follicles are transplanted to the required areas. The advantages of the FUE method include minimal scarring, fast healing process and natural results.
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplantation is a hair transplantation method in which hair follicles are directly implanted using a special pen, the Choi Pen. Choi Pen performs the processes of taking, storing and transplanting hair follicles with the same device. With this method, the grafts can be placed more precisely, so that the natural appearance of the hairline can be better shaped. The DHI method is preferred for fast recovery, minimal scars and natural results.
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) is a hair transplantation method in which hair follicles are taken in strips and grafts are obtained from these strips. The grafts are separated into natural hair groups and transplanted to the required areas. In the FUT method, since hair is removed from a certain area, a stitch scar may remain in this area. However, this scar can usually be covered with hair. FUT can be preferred in cases where large graft amounts are required.
In the field of hair transplantation, different hair transplantation techniques are being developed with the ever-evolving technology and techniques. These techniques aim to optimise hair transplantation results by improving existing methods or adopting different approaches.
Each hair transplantation method has its advantages and disadvantages. To decide which method is most suitable for an individual, factors such as hair structure, personal preferences, expectations and the surgeon’s recommendations should be taken into account. Before making a hair transplant decision, it is important to have a comprehensive consultation with a specialised hair transplant doctor.
