What is Hair Transplantation? What are the Methods?

Although Hair transplantation dates back to ancient times, it has become more widespread especially in our country in the last 15 years. One of the biggest reasons for this is that people today pay more attention to their appearance and aesthetics. For this reason, hair transplantation is the right and healthiest choice. Hair is one of the elements that significantly affects the appearance and attracts the most attention at first glance, regardless of whether it is a man or a woman. And, perhaps, men are the ones who suffer the most from hair problems.
Regardless of the age factor, men face many problems such as hair loss, thinning or baldness more than women. As such, the recent intense demand for hair transplantation, especially by men, is directly proportional to this situation. However, hair problems appear as a serious problem experienced by many people due to different reasons such as genetic structure, health reasons, stress... regardless of whether they are men or women. It has consequences that lead to unhappiness and even lack of self-confidence.
In the field of hair transplantation, the FUE method is the only method that is accepted all over the world and provides the most natural and efficient results. Over time, DHI and SAFIR techniques have been developed within the FUE method in order to adapt to every hair structure and every scalp, and these techniques, which will be decided by considering the expert's advice, will bring you the most natural, most efficient and best result.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is one of the most widely preferred hair transplantation methods. In this method, hair follicles are taken one by one from the donor area and transplanted to the area to be transplanted. Since there is no surgical incision in the FUE method, the risk of scarring is very low. In addition, the healing process is fast and the patient can return to his/her daily life in a short time. The FUE method is frequently used to achieve natural and aesthetic results.
The Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) method is considered an advanced technology of FUE. In the DHI method, hair follicles are implanted directly into the area to be transplanted using a special pen (Choi implanter). The advantage of this method is that the hair follicles are transplanted in a shorter time, thus minimizing the time the follicles remain outside. Also, with the DHI method, the angle and direction of placement of the hair follicles can be better controlled, resulting in a more natural look.
The sapphire FUE method is a variation of the traditional FUE method using sapphire blades. Sapphire blades are sharper and more durable than steel blades. This allows for smaller and smoother incisions, which speeds up the healing process and minimizes scarring. Sapphire FUE method is an ideal option for those who want to achieve a more dense and natural look in hair transplantation.
The healing process after hair transplantation usually consists of several stages and includes some important points that patients should pay attention to. In the first few days, mild swelling, redness and tenderness may be observed in the transplanted area. During this period, it is important to follow the medications and care instructions recommended by the doctor. The first week is a critical period for the hair follicles to settle, so it may be necessary to wrap the head with a protective bandage and avoid direct sunlight. From the second week onwards, hair follicles may start to fall out, which is a normal process and makes room for new hair to grow. During the healing process, heavy physical activity should be avoided and the scalp should be treated gently. After about three months, new hair begins to grow and within a year the transplanted hair will look completely natural. Being patient during this process and following the doctor's recommendations is crucial for a successful outcome.
Hair transplantation in Turkey has a wide price range and these prices may vary depending on various factors. Factors such as the technology used between clinics, the experience of the doctor, the patient's need for hair transplantation and clinic services are the main factors affecting prices. Generally, it is recommended that patients considering hair transplantation should first evaluate the services offered by the clinics, their experience and patient satisfaction. The quality of service received during and after the hair transplant procedure can determine the success of the results as well as the price.
