Everything You Need To Know About Hair Transplant

The purpose of hair transplantation is to transfer hair to an area on your head that is thinning or prone to baldness. So, where is the hair to be used for transplantation obtained? The hair follicles required for hair transfer are taken either from the area with dense hair on the scalp or from other suitable parts of the body.

Does Hair Transplant Really Work?

Hair transplant procedures often provide better results than other hair treatments. However, there are some factors to consider and pay attention to:

• Transplanted hair also gets thinner over time like normal hair.
• Transplants may be less effective in people who have dormant hair follicles, ie sacs under the scalp that contain hair but do not grow hair. However, in such cases, plasma therapy combined with hair transplant treatment can help the transplanted hair to grow back up to 75 percent or more.
• Most hair transplants are done with your existing hair follicles. For this reason, if you have experienced hair loss due to chemotherapy or other drugs you use, the success rate in obtaining a positive result from the treatment is low.

How is the Cost Determined in Hair Transplant Prices?

There are many factors that determine the price of hair transplantation. Factors such as the session to be taken, the number of procedures included in the transplant procedure, the surgeon's experience, the preferred surgical technique, and aftercare medications determine the final cost.

How to do hair transplantation?

In its simplest terms, hair transplantation is done by transferring the hair you have to the hairless area. The graft, ie the tissues to be transplanted, are usually taken from the back of your head. If enough grafts cannot be obtained from this area, it can be taken from other parts of your body.

Before starting the transplantation process, your surgeon sterilizes the area where the hair will be taken and numbs it with local anesthetic. You may also request sedation to stay asleep for the procedure. Then your surgeon performs your hair transfer with one of the FUT or FUE methods.

After your surgery is complete, your bandages are carefully removed by your surgeon. The area may be swollen, so your surgeon may inject triamcinolone into the area to reduce swelling.

What Should Be Considered After Hair Transplantation?

• Do not rush to wash your hair. You can perform the first hair wash a few days after the surgery. For the first few weeks, use only mild shampoos recommended by your surgeon.
• You can continue your routine life in about 3 days after the operation.
• Be careful not to press on the newly transferred grafts with a brush or comb for at least three weeks.
• Do not wear a hat or clothes that are difficult to put on and take off, such as sweaters, until your doctor gives permission.
• Do not exercise for about a week and avoid heavy movements.
