What is a hair transplant?

Hair transplant is a permanent solution for people with regional baldness or hair loss. It consists of transplanting healthy hair follicles to areas where the hair follicle no longer functions and where balding occurs, using microsurgical methods. In hair transplantation, the patient’s own healthy hair follicles are implanted in the shed part. Hair transplantation is planned and applied completely for you. Since it is not done in the same way for everyone, you should definitely get information from your doctor.

How is hair transplant done?

Hair transplant surgery is actually a small operation. It is usually done by collecting hair follicles resistant to shedding in the nape of the patient and placing them in the channels opened in the thinning or completely shedding parts. Thus, a natural and aesthetically perfect appearance is obtained after hair transplantation. There are two types of this procedure, fue and fut hair transplant.

What is Fue hair transplant?

Fue hair transplant is a graft collection method. It is the latest major technical advancement in hair surgery. Fue stands for Follicular Unit Extraction. This method was first used in Japan in 1988. In the Fue method; hair follicles are taken one by one from the area selected as the donor area and implanted in the desired area. Hair follicles taken from the donor area are transplanted one by one to the desired area in the same way. Thanks to this operation, there are visible and satisfactory aesthetic differences between hair transplant before and after in 1-1.5 years. The points to be considered before this operation are as follows:

First of all, the hair in the area to be removed should be shortened to 1 mm.
Your hair should be clean and not oiled before the operation.
Not applying chemicals such as jelly.
Avoiding alcohol if possible in the weeks before the operation.
If possible, reduce or completely abandon smoking 1 week in advance.
Avoiding work that will tire the body 1 week before the operation.
It is necessary to have a sufficient breakfast on the morning of the operation day and to be absolutely full during the procedure.

The most positive aspect of this treatment is that there are no cuts or stitches in the area where the hair is taken. Afterwards, there is very little pain and the recovery time is very quick. Scratches can only be found in the area where the hair follicles to be transplanted are taken, but they also heal very quickly.

What is graft in hair transplant?

While we are describing the FUE procedure, the graft is a structure that contains skin and hair roots. The skin ratio in the graft determines the number of hair follicles. They are available in single, double, triple and quadruple types. After your doctor’s examination, the number of grafts to be used is determined while the hair transplant is applied.

How does hair transplant work?

After consulting your doctor, hair transplant is applied to you according to the type of procedure you choose. Your doctor takes grafts or small pieces of skin from areas of the neck that contain healthy hair. This area is called the donor site. The grafts are moved to the balding parts of the scalp. After the transplanted skin heals, the hair continues to grow. “Does hair implants hurt?” The answer to the question is that you will not feel it thanks to the medicine applied to you. Although the effectiveness of hair transplant may vary according to the health of the person’s hair follicles, it is very successful. Those who have had hair transplant experience say that the results are really worth it.

When to get hair transplant?

There are many reasons why you might lose your hair. Sometimes hair loss is temporary but can be permanent. Hair implants can help with permanent hair loss caused by:

Alopecia areata (an autoimmune disease that attacks hair follicles)
Thyroid diseases
Hormonal imbalances
Traumatic injuries or burns.
Genetic factors

If there is no risk for the patient’s health and visible hair loss, this operation can be performed on everyone except babies and the very old.

How long does a hair transplant take?

A session in hair transplantation takes about 6-9 hours. A single session hair treatment is completed within a maximum of 9 hours. However, if the number of sessions is more than one, the total time will of course be extended accordingly. The most important factor playing a role in this period is the type of hair transplant and hair type applied to your hair. In the next 2-3 months after the operation, the hair starts to grow slowly and it takes 1 year to become completely desired.

How much is a hair transplant?

This procedure, which is in high demand, has prices according to the country where it is performed. In addition, prices vary according to hair structure, material used, number and quality of grafts. The cost will increase when the area to be planted is large. It varies between $4,000-$15,000 on average in the United States. In European countries, it is between 4450 € and 5850 €. Hair restoration is usually not covered by insurance, so you have to pay all of cost from your own budget. For this reason, patients make a choice by learning the prices in other countries. Turkey, which is the only country where the hair implant cost is the lowest and the success rate is quite high, stands out here.

How much is a hair transplant in Turkey?

In general, Turkey hair transplant cost is the lowest when compared to other countries. It is the most popular treatment address for many patients with reasonable fees ranging from $1,400 to $3,500. The reason why hair transplant cost in Turkey is low is not because it is insufficient. On the contrary, Turkey is one of the countries with the highest number of medical graduates. Moreover, according to the 2015 statistics of the Turkish Health Tourism Council, 60,000 patients come to Turkey for hair transplantation every year and leave the country with very satisfactory results. At the same time, clinics in Turkey do not just offer you an operation package:

blood tests
FUE hair transplant
all medicines
hair wash
barber service
post-operative care
accomodation
airport transfer
interpreter support

They also offer packages with a number of important benefits such as above.

How to sleep after a hair transplant?

Hair transplant aftercare is an issue that requires a lot of attention. The most important period is the first fifteen days. Touching the treated area is not allowed for the first two days and this includes showering. At the same time, on the 2nd day of the operation, your scalp is thoroughly checked and cleaned against the risk of inflammation in the clinic. In the first two weeks, all sports activities, activities such as sauna, spa or solarium are prohibited. All kinds of supplements or blood thinners are considered risky in this process and are not recommended to be taken. It is recommended to wear clothes with zippers or buttons to avoid contact with the head.

From the end of the operation, it is necessary not to travel by car or use such vehicles for 6-10 hours. In terms of protecting the transplanted area and the donor area, the pillow must be chosen accordingly during sleep. Stiff pillows that can damage the hair follicles should not be used. Sleeping in the supine position can be beneficial. Care should be taken not to get any blows to the head and heavy sports should definitely not be done.

How effective is hair transplant?

It has been revealed that the majority of people who have FUE application performed in many parts of the world, combining body or beard hair with scalp hair, are satisfied. The overall satisfaction score among 79 participants is 8.3 out of 10. This means that hair transplant surgery is a very effective and possible procedure to achieve successful results. In hair transplantation, the form and cause of hair loss play a role rather than age. At the same time, the strength of the hair follicles in the grafted part is also an important factor. However, since this procedure is performed by specialist doctors, they find the most suitable and healthy hair follicles for you and prepare a highly effective treatment plan. 90-95% of transplanted hair grafts survive and the probability of the procedure being successful increases.
It may take a long time for the final effects of hair transplantation to appear. The full effects of a hair transplant are usually seen after 12 months, although in rare cases it can take up to 18 months. If we look at the issue from another window here, the disadvantages of hair transplant are very few and their probability of occurrence is very low. First comes the scar, but it can become invisible later. Another issue here is that the drugs given have side effects, but these side effects are not a cause for concern as they are also included in any pain reliever. As a result, hair transplant is really successful and gives satisfactory results in the long run.

In summary, the hair transplant process has really great success. Doctors perform operations in line with the patient’s health and wishes. Since this process is very expensive in many countries, Turkey is the most preferred country. It attracts all patients due to its affordable prices and the high privileges of the packages it offers, as well as the serious success rate of the doctors. The process takes a short time and clearer results are obtained with developing technologies.

Make sure that the center where the hair transplant will be done has the features approved by the Ministry of Health. The hair transplantation center where the operation will be performed must have an equipped operating room in accordance with the hygiene rules. At the same time, it should be ensured that there are specialist personnel and emergency equipment that can be intervened in an emergency. There will be many issues that you need to pay attention to after your procedure. One of them is not going out in the sun and not sweating. As a result, hair transplantation is generally recommended in the spring and autumn months. It is a surgical procedure performed with local anesthesia, so it is not painful.

You should also know that in most cases, the transplanted follicular hair sheds two or three weeks after the intervention. However, in no case should this be an alarm signal and should not assume a shock to the patient. Because after three months, new hair will grow and hair follicles will become stronger. In short, hair transplant or hair restoration is a treatment method developed for patients who have not found a medical remedy for hair loss.
