What is a hair transplant?

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure generally performed on people who suffer from baldness or hair loss. In this procedure, healthy hair follicles are transplanted from the patient’s hairy areas into the bald or sparsely haired areas. A hair transplant is usually performed using hair follicles taken from the back or sides of the scalp; because the hair in these areas has usually strong hair follicles, which are not at risk of hair loss.

Duration of treatment

The hair transplant is performed in the following main steps:

1. Examination and planning: First, the doctor examines the patient and determines the causes of hair loss. The patient’s current hair structure and degree of hair loss are assessed. After this evaluation, the suitable hair transplant method for the patient is determined.
2. Graft removal from the donor area: Hair follicles are taken from the donor area (usually the neck or behind the ear). This procedure requires local anesthesia.
3. Preparation of the transplants: Hair follicles taken from the donor area are examined under the microscope and prepared for transplantation.
4. Opening channels to the transplant area: In the area where the hair transplant is performed, channels are opened in which the hair follicles are placed. The angle and depth of these channels are very important to achieve a natural look.
5. Placement of the transplants: The prepared hair follicles are carefully placed in the recipient area. This step takes the longest time.

Hair transplantation methods

A hair transplant can be performed using various methods:

• FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): In this method, a thin strip of skin is removed from the donor area and the hair follicles are separated under the microscope. These roots are then transplanted into the recipient area.
• FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): In the FUE method, which was developed as an alternative to the FUT method, hair follicles are removed individually and transplanted into the transplanation area. This method leaves fewer scars and the healing process is faster.
• DHI (Direct Hair Implantation): In this method, hair follicles are transplanted directly into the recipient area using a special pen (Choi Implanter pen). This method usually delivers more intense and natural results.

Thanks to modern techniques, hair transplantation has now become a painless and simple procedure. However, the success rate and durability of the results depend on the quality of the clinic and the technique used. For this reason, it is important for people considering a hair transplant to choose the clinic and doctor carefully.

Who is suitable for a hair transplant?

A hair transplant offers a permanent solution for many people suffering from hair loss. However, not every person is a suitable candidate for this procedure. Determining suitable candidates for a hair transplant depends on various factors:

1. Degree of hair loss:
   • People with hair loss of a certain degree, for example people with level 2 and above according to the Norwood-Hamilton scale, are generally good candidates.
   • Women who experience hair loss at stage 1 or higher according to the Ludwig scale may also be suitable.
2. Status of the donor area:
   • For hair transplantation it is important to have hair follicles of sufficient density and quality. The hair in the donor area must be strong and healthy.
   • The donor area is usually the back of the head and must contain a sufficient amount of hair follicles.
3. Age factor:
   • In general, people aged 25 and over are suitable candidates for hair transplantation because they have a more stable hair loss pattern.
   • For younger candidates, it may be advisable to wait as hair loss may continue.
4. General health:
   • Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure, so people in good general health are preferred.
   • Candidates who do not have chronic illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease or bleeding disorders are more suitable.
5. Realistic expectations:
   • People should have realistic expectations about the results of the procedure.
   • You should know that hair transplantation does not give immediate results, but the maximum results can be seen in a few months.
6. Previous hair transplant:
   • Candidates who have already undergone hair transplantation and require revision may also be suitable for this procedure.
   • However, it should be assessed whether the previous transplant failed or not and what the current condition of the donor area is.

To determine whether you are suitable for a hair transplant, a detailed assessment should be carried out by a specialist. Since the situation and characteristics of hair loss are different for each person, an individual approach is required. This assessment is based on the results of various examinations and analyses carried out in the clinic. In this regard, clinics in the Side Antalya region evaluate the candidates in detail using the latest technologies and experienced specialists.

Hair transplantation using FUE technique

The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique is one of the most advanced and modern hair transplantation methods used for people suffering from hair loss. FUE is a minimally invasive procedure in which hair follicles are removed individually from the donor area and transplanted into bald or sparse areas. The fact that this method leaves no stitches or scars is one of the reasons why it is preferred over other techniques.

Stages of FUE technique:

1. Preparation and planning:
   • A hair analysis and an assessment of the donor area are carried out.
   • The hairline is determined and the areas to be transplanted are marked.
2. Local anesthesia:
   • The donor and the area to be transplanted are anaesthetized locally so that the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure.
3. Removal of the transplants:
   • With the help of a micromotor, hair follicles are removed individually from the donor area.
   • Follicles are protected under special conditions to prevent damage.
4. Opening of channels:
   • In the area where the hair transplant will be performed, microchannels are opened and the areas where the follicles will be placed are prepared.
5. Transplantation:
   • The collected hair follicles are placed individually into the opened channels.
   • The transplanted hair follicles are intended to provide a natural appearance.

Advantages of the FUE technique:

• Natural look: The individually transplanted follicles ensure a natural hairline and natural hair density.
• Minimal scars: Since no cutting tools are used, there are no puncture marks or large scars.
• Speedy recovery: The recovery time after the procedure is shorter than with other techniques.
• Painless procedure: Thanks to the local anesthesia, the patient feels no pain during the procedure.
• Flexible donor area: Hair follicles can be taken not only from the scalp, but also from other parts of the body if necessary.
