Hair Transplant

Hair loss is a common problem in both men and women and can become an aesthetic problem that can affect personal self-confidence. Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that allows the natural and permanent restoration of lost or thinning hair. As Center Clinic, we serve individuals who want to prevent hair loss and achieve a healthy, natural appearance with modern hair transplantation techniques.

What is Hair Transplantation?

Hair transplantation is the process of taking one's own hair follicles and transplanting them to balding areas. It is usually applied in areas where hair loss is common, especially in the hairline, crown and sides. This procedure offers natural, permanent and aesthetic results with the technologies provided by modern medicine. Hair transplantation is a process that requires personalized planning and careful application.

Hair Transplant Methods

Hair transplantation can be performed with different techniques. Each technique is determined by the patient's hair structure, hair loss level and personal preferences. The most commonly used hair transplantation methods are as follows:

1. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Method
   The FUE method is the most widely preferred hair transplantation technique today. In this method, hair follicles are taken one by one and transplanted to the areas of hair loss by opening micro channels. FUE attracts attention with its scarless and fast healing process. It is also possible to achieve a natural appearance.

2. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) Method
   Although the FUT technique is an older method, it can be preferred in cases where intensive hair transplantation is required. In this method, a strip is removed on the scalp and hair follicles are taken from this strip and transplanted. FUT is generally used in cases where large areas need to be transplanted.

3. DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) Method
   DHI is a derivative of the FUE method, but in this method, hair follicles are transplanted directly into the balding area with a special device. This procedure is less invasive and the recovery period can be shorter. In addition, the DHI method is suitable for achieving greater density and natural results.

Hair Transplant Stages

Hair transplantation is a procedure that requires careful planning and expertise. The procedure usually consists of the following stages:

1. Consulting and Evaluation
   The hair transplantation process begins with a comprehensive evaluation with a specialist doctor. At this stage, the cause of hair loss, the rate of hair loss and the area to be transplanted are determined. The most appropriate method is selected by taking into account the personal health status.

2. Hair Root Extraction
   Healthy hair follicles for hair transplantation are usually taken from the nape of the neck. The hair in this area is usually more resistant to hair loss. Root extraction is performed under local anesthesia, so no pain is felt during the procedure.

3. Hair Transplant
   The hair follicles are transplanted into the balding area with microscopic needles or special devices. During this process, placing the follicles at the right angle and density is extremely important for a natural appearance.

4. Recovery Process
   After the hair transplant procedure, the healing process may take a few weeks. There may be mild side effects such as swelling and redness in the first few days, but these are temporary. It is important to pay attention to the transplanted area and follow the recommended care instructions to protect the hair and reduce the risk of infection.

5. Results and Follow-up
   A few months after the hair transplant procedure, you will start to see your hair settling and growing in its new location. The results are usually fully visible within 6-12 months. Our specialists monitor the healing process with follow-up appointments and guide you on post-transplant care.

Hair Transplant and Natural Appearance

Hair transplants owe one of their greatest advantages to their natural appearance. Modern techniques ensure the correct shaping of the hairline, healthy placement of hair follicles and a natural appearance. After hair transplantation, the natural hair cycle continues and the transplanted hair does not fall out.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Transplantation

1. Is hair transplantation permanent?
   Yes, hair transplantation is permanent. Since the transplanted hair follicles are taken from the genetically non-shedding nape area, they grow healthy for many years.

2. Is the procedure painful?
   Since hair transplantation is performed under local anesthesia, you will not feel pain during the procedure. There may be a slight discomfort during the healing process, but this is usually short-lived.

3. How to care after hair transplantation?
   Important points to be considered after hair transplantation include protecting the transplanted area, avoiding heavy exercise for a certain period of time and using the medications recommended by the doctor.
