Hair Transplant
FUE hair transplant
Baldness is not a sentence. Undoubtedly, one of the most demanded procedures is hair transplantation (transplantation). Most of the male population of Turkey is faced with the problem of baldness early enough, therefore, research is constantly being carried out on this topic and modern technologies are being introduced.
Often, trichologists identify 2 main factors that contribute to the development of alopecia: genetic and hormonal. The FUE method is one of the most modern hair transplantation methods, when individual hair follicles are transplanted.
This procedure is carried out in specialized clinics. Transplantation allows you to transfer hair from donor areas to those that need replenishment of vegetation, and to improve the patient’s appearance, restoring his youth and beauty.
The duration of the procedure depends on the number of transplanted hairs and takes several hours. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, which means that the FUE transplant is completely painless for the patient. During the procedure, no incisions are made on the patient’s skin, which leaves the scalp clean and smooth, without scars.
Small wounds at the sites of hair extraction and penetration completely heal in 2-3 weeks. Consequences such as swelling, numbness, pain and the like in patients do not occur. After 2-3 weeks, even with a short haircut, no one will guess that you have done a hair transplant.
Things to consider before treatment:
- delivery of a preoperative package of analyzes of biological material for the presence of infectious diseases (HIV, hepatitis B and C, syphilis, etc.), a clinical blood test. Laboratory tests are carried out in our hospital before the procedure
- You must stop using Minoxidil one week before FUE hair transplant.
- Do not drink alcoholic beverages 10 days before treatment.
- Avoid taking vitamins B and E. 7 days before hair transplantation, avoid taking medications that reduce blood clotting (for example, aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs)
How is the procedure going
The FUE procedure is carried out in two stages:
At the first stage, it extracts hair follicles that will be used as grafts (usually from the occipital area, where hair is resistant to hair loss) and treats them with a special composition that stimulates subsequent growth.
On the second stage, the treated hair follicles are implanted into the baldness area.
Extraction of follicles is carried out under local anesthesia and using a special instrument called a needle-punch. The diameter of this needle is selected in accordance with the patient’s hair thickness, the hair density in the donor area, and the patient’s skin structure. As a rule, at this stage, the doctor uses needles of different diameters. The extracted follicle-grafts are placed in a special solution, where they are sorted.
How is the procedure going
- Upon completion of the surgical intervention, a bandage is applied to the donor area. You need to wear it for about 2 days.
- The patient should wash his hair 24 hours after the operation. If possible, this should be done in our clinic. Our specialist will explain how to properly care for your hair after transplant.
- Within a week, the crusts formed in the places of collection of donor hairs and in the area of transplantation are rejected on their own.
- The first hairs from the transplanted follicles begin to grow approximately 2-3 months after the hair transplant.
- The full visible effect of hair transplantation occurs in 12-14 months.
