What is hair transplantation?
What is hair transplantation procedure? We need to explain the nature of the procedure before we delve into the details of what hair transplants in Turkey are like.
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure by which we restore hair in areas with total or partial hair loss.
There are several techniques developed to restore hair, but hair transplant remains the most used and trusted and the one that gives the best outcome.
Hair transplant procedure involves harvesting hair follicles from areas rich in hair in the scalp, to implant it to other areas suffering from hair loss.
Hair loss reasons
The prevailing theory has always blamed poor blood circulation in the scalp for hair loss, or the lack of certain vitamins or dandruff, or even the continuous wearing of hats and headwears.
But all these theories have been proven wrong, and you can realize this by looking at any man who has exceeded fifty and does not suffer from baldness or hair loss, and you can also predict that he will not suffer baldness anymore!
Hair loss mainly can be explained by a number of causes, including changes in hormones, and the genetic predisposition of hair follicles to be affected by these hormones, which is evidenced by the presence of several family members who suffer from this problem.
As a general rule, the more hair loss begins at an early age, the greater the chance that the situation will be worse with age.

Experts estimate that one out of five women suffers from some kind of hair loss due to old age besides some problems such as hormonal changes after the menopause.
Hair loss in women is often a partial loss of hair and not total as in men. To address this problem, some women may have to use hair extensions or some topical treatments.
However, all what these treatments do is to prevent more hair loss, but it does not reverse what has already been lost, and some women may find a cure for this problem through hair transplantation.

Hair transplant procedure step by step
Before getting your hair transplant in Turkey, your doctor will give you precise instructions as to how to prepare for the procedure, instructions involving eating, drinking or smoking, and taking your medications, if you have any.
Following these instructions will contribute to increasing the success rate of the procedure, and if you are a smoker you will have to stop smoking at least a week or two before the operation, smoking reduces blood flow to the tissues and affects the process of healing.
Hair transplantation is most often performed in your surgeon's clinic, as it is considered an outpatient procedure and does not require hospitalization.
Hair Transplant Procedure Timeline
The patient's hair is completely shaven, however, it is sometimes possible to do the procedure without shaving, then the scalp is washed with a sterile solution, and the scalp is injected with a local anesthetic.
At this stage, we use the micromotor device to extract the follicles from the donor area, without damaging the structure of the hair, Which increases the number of extracted healthy follicles that can be implanted successfully.
After extracting the follicles, they are kept in a special solution, which is the same solution used to preserve organs during transplant procedures, to keep grafts healthy.
In DHI technique using Choi pens, fine slits are opened and the grafts implanted in the same step, while in the SAPPHIRE FUE technique, a sharp-headed tool made from sapphire stone is used to open the fine slits, and this tool has the advantage of opening the fine slits so smoothly causing no damage or scars, then the grafts are implanted into those fine slits.
In this step, the extracted follicles are Implanted into the opened slits, and given that the last couple steps are the most important ones, they require high skills, as the surgeon takes into consideration, the density, esthetic results, and natural hair growth.

Hair transplant progress
Hair transplantation involves harvesting hair follicles from the donor area, and transferring them to the recipient areas that suffer from thin hair or baldness. These follicular units may vary in size and shape depending on the technique used.
In general, it may take more than one session to reach satisfactory cosmetic result, and the sessions may be far apart, depending upon the doctor's judgement.
The number of follicular units implanted in one session may reach 700 unit or more depending on the technique to be used.
Just before the operation, the donor area is prepared by cutting the hair shortly to facilitate the process of reaching and extracting hair follicles, sometimes the hair follicular unit is harvested using a pointed tool to extract a very small follicular unit out of the scalp, each of which holds a small number of hair follicles to be implanted in the same session into recipient areas.
Your surgeon carefully extracts and implants hair follicles without damaging the donor areas, taking into consideration the direction of hair so it can grow in natural and consistent angles.
