Hair transplant is a highly preferred treatment method for people who experience hair loss and serious hair loss. Hair loss problems that occur due to different reasons such as genetic factors and environmental conditions negatively affect individuals’ lives and self-confidence.
The person’s hair structure, the team that applies it and the specialist change the course of the treatment and success. Before making a decision, the specialist and the clinic should be researched very well because getting the results from hair transplant and achieving healthy and full hair depends on the pre- and post-procedure consultancy and the team’s attention.
There is a great demand for hair transplant, which is one of the most demanded applications in the world, both domestically and internationally for Turkey.
Low costs and Turkey’s success in hair transplant consultancy are effective in these demands. People who are considering having the procedure apply to the best clinics for hair transplant in Turkey.
First Consultation: Hair Analysis and Expectations
A patient who is considering having a hair transplant should choose an experienced specialist by doing research and examining the pre- and post-procedure results. The success of hair transplant depends on the selected clinic and specialist doctor. Before the procedure, research should be done about the best clinics for hair transplant in Turkey and after making an appointment for the interview, you should go prepared by writing down the questions in your mind.
Pre-operative consultation is, in short, a meeting between the patient and the specialist doctor before the hair transplant procedure. It takes place in the form of the patient asking the details of the procedure and the questions they are curious about. The specialist analyzes the hair loss, factors such as severity and skin structure are taken into consideration. The hair density in the donor area is checked for adequacy and it is checked whether it is suitable for the procedure.
Hair transplant first starts with an examination. Information is obtained about the patient’s general health, medications used, diseases, etc.
• The evaluation of factors such as hair structure, skin structure, shedding, age, gender is the first stage of the planning.
It is decided whether the patient is suitable for hair transplant. Things to consider in hair consultation:
• The density of the donor area for hair transplant is examined by the specialist. If the hair roots are sufficient, a personalized procedure plan is made.
• The extent of hair loss and the area it affects are analyzed.
• The patient is informed about hair transplant methods according to the patient and the structure of the donor area. He/she determines which of the FUE, DHI and FUT hair transplant methods he/she deems appropriate.
• The hair appearance and density that the patient expects after the procedure should be taken into consideration. If the patient has different and unrealistic expectations, he/she may not be satisfied with the result. Considering the conditions, the patient should be warned about the results and risks after the procedure.
• Hair transplant costs vary according to the person’s condition and the method to be preferred. Information about the cost is shared at this stage.
• Information is given about the things to be considered after the procedure.
• After the patient’s questions, they should be processed in writing and the patient will also see the plan of the operation in writing.
• If there are any questions about the specialist or the clinic, the patient can apply to other clinics at this point.
Creating a Personalized Treatment Plan
Hair transplant requires a personalized treatment plan. The patient, the patient’s health and hair structure, and expectations should be well analyzed by the specialist.
• In hair transplant, it is important to choose a method suitable for factors such as the extent of hair loss, genetic structure, hair density and donor area. The number of grafts needed varies according to the person’s expectations, the size of the donor area and the area of loss.
• The extent of loss is determined by the result of the procedure and whether the patient will need a re-transplant if the loss is very aggressive.
• A personalized, natural hairline design is made by considering factors such as genetic factors and the person’s hair structure.
A detailed personalized treatment plan should be made by taking these conditions into consideration. Although hair transplant promises permanent solutions to a large extent, each patient’s process progresses differently.
Choosing Between FUE and DHI Techniques
There are different methods used specifically for the person in hair transplant. The most popular of these are Fullicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Direct Hair Implantation (DHI).
Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. The treatment method should be selected according to the analyzes made in the patient consultation. Let me examine both methods:
-The DHI method is a more developed version of the FUE method. In this method called the direct hair transplant method, the grafts taken with a special pen are transplanted in a very short time.
• Those who experience hair loss in small areas may prefer it.
• Since this method is transplanted more frequently, a natural look is obtained.
• It is ideal for those who want a more natural result.
-The FUE method is suitable for those who experience more intense hair loss.
• The hair follicles are collected one by one and transferred to the area to be transplanted. A channel opening procedure is performed.
• The recovery period is fast.
Both methods are successful methods in hair transplant. There are differences in some minor points and which method will be preferred by the person varies according to the patient’s hair loss size, the hair structure and number of the donor area and the person’s expectations. Points to consider when choosing a method:
• If transplant will be done in large areas, the FUE method will be more suitable, and if a dense and more natural look is desired, the DHI will be more suitable. It can be preferred for scars and regional hair loss after injuries. The number of hair follicles transplanted in the FUE technique is higher. In the DHI technique, 1500-2000 grafts can be transplanted in a single session, while in the FUE method: 4000-4500 grafts can be transplanted.
• The naturalness of the hairline is an important point and is studied in detail in the DHI method. Therefore, it is possible to have a more natural hairline.
• The healing process is faster in the DHI method compared to the FUE method.
• The DHI technique is a more controlled procedure and since the transplant is done with a special pen, the risk of bleeding is less.
• While FUE hair transplant generally takes 6-8 hours, the procedure takes longer in the DHI method since the grafts are taken and transplanted one by one.
• Although it varies according to the region when compared in terms of cost – DHI is a newer and more advanced method, the cost is higher than other methods.
It would be better for you to decide on the method that suits you with the expert as a result of the expert’s analysis and opinions.
Healing Process and Post-Operative Support
In order to achieve efficient and targeted results from hair transplant, it is as important for the patient to follow the necessary instructions after the procedure and to take into account what the specialist says, as it is for the success of the operation.
Even if the operation is successful, mistakes made after the procedure may lead to undesirable results.
The healing process may vary depending on the preferred method, the person’s structure and compliance with the instructions, but it can take approximately 8-10 weeks. It is necessary to wait 1 year to achieve full results.
The first 15 days after hair transplant are especially critical. During this process, it is very important for patients to be careful and fully follow the specialist’s recommendations.
In summary, things to consider during the recovery process after hair transplantat:
• Although the procedure does not require lying down, resting in the first days will be better for your pain.
• The transplant area may itch, but you should avoid touching and scratching, this will delay your recovery process.
• A healthy diet will support your hair growth, during this process, you should stay away from harmful habits for the period recommended by the specialist.
• It is important to use the medications prescribed by the specialist regularly and not to skip them.
-Sun and hot environments can irritate your skin, you should stay away from them and protect the area.
-After the operation, some supportive treatments and supplements may be needed for the hair to grow healthier, thicker and stronger. Your specialist can guide you on this issue and your hair can become healthier with the appropriate method you need.
To support the hair transplant process:
• In addition to nutrition, vitamin supplements also accelerate your healing process and help healthy hair growth. Although vitamins C, B, zinc, iron and biotin are the most frequently preferred, the recommendations of the specialist are important.
• Special shampoos and lotions should be used after hair transplant.
• It is important to pay attention to the progress of the process not to skip routine doctor check-ups.
• Treatments such as PRP and Mesotherapy strengthen your hair roots, support and accelerate your healing process.
