What is Hair Transplant?

People of all ages and genders can face the problem of hair loss due to various reasons such as hormonal imbalances, seasonal cycles, iron or vitamin deficiencies, genetic predisposition and so on. Hair transplantation is preferred as it offers a permanent solution to hair loss that cannot return on its own for these or other reasons.

Hair transplantation is performed by transferring the hair follicles located in the neck or any other part of the body to the places where there is baldness and sparsity. During this procedure, which is carried out by specialists in the operating room under sterile conditions, the resulting gaps are treated by removing the hair follicles one by one from the stronger parts after local anesthesia and transplanting them to the necessary places. This process is not painful and can take around 4-6 hours depending on the size of the area to be transplanted. It is extremely important that the transplanted hair adapts to the skin and grows healthily.

What should be considered in hair transplantation?

Hair transplantation is a treatment in which the hair follicles taken from the person's body are transferred to the head area. As with any surgical procedure, hair transplantation should be done by specialists and performed in a sterile environment.

The hair transplant recovery process may vary from person to person. Normally, the patient can return to their normal life two to three days after the hair transplant is over. After hair transplantation, the crust formed in the transplantation area falls off by itself within ten days. The redness and itching symptoms that occur in the first few days disappear in a short time. After two to three months, a shock detachment phase occurs. After this completely normal process, the transplanted hair begins to grow rapidly. The hair transplant process takes about a year to complete, although it varies from person to person. Following the advice of the specialists plays an important role in the healing process in order to achieve a lasting treatment result.
