Frequently Asked
Questions
A hair transplantation is a very detailed procedure that takes up to months! Here is what most people ask before deciding to undergo a hair transplantation…
How long does hair transplantation take?
Among the most frequently asked questions about hair transplantation: how long does it take? The duration of hair transplantation treatments may vary according to the number of grafts extracted and the performed method. Based on average, a hair transplant treatment takes up about 6-9 hours.
Where do the hair follicles come from?
The hair roots (follicles) placed in the area to be transplanted are the grafts that belong to the client. It is not possible to use a hair follicle taken from someone else in hair transplantation. The grafts are usually taken from the back of the scalp. In cases where this region is not sufficient, it is possible to make the beard region as a donor. However, the first choice is always the back of the head.
What is FUE hair transplantation?
FUE, follicular unit extraction, is one of the most well known and preferred techniques in hair transplantation. After shortening all hair of the client to 3mm length, the donor area is numbed with local anesthesia. The grafts are loosened with a device called an FUE motor and collected with a tweezer-like instrument. The canals where roots are placed are opened using a hollow, sharp, pen-like instrument. The grafts that are collected contain some tissue fragments. These fragments are separated from the follicles and are placed in the canals. In the last stage, the donor area is covered by bandages.
What is the best season for hair transplantation?
Hair transplantation is a procedure that can be applied in all seasons. However, it is necessary to protect the designated area from direct sunlight especially during the summer months. On top of that, swimming and sweating are also out of order.
How many grafts are needed for hair transplantation?
The number of grafts needed for hair transplantation is not clear. Each treatment is individual. The number of hair follicles you need varies depending on the size and condition of the region requiring the transplant. Therefore, the most effective way to discover the number of hair follicles you need is to be determined by our hair specialist personnel…
Are there celebrities who had a hair transplantation?
What are the side effects of hair transplantation?
Oedema occurring during the recovery period and small crust formation around the hair roots in the planted area are possible side effects. Slight tingling and pain only after the treatment are among the side effects of hair transplantation. But this only lasts for a day. The client will receive all sorts of postoperative care products.
What are the latest technologies used in hair transplantation?
The technology that develops and advances every day also positively affects hair transplantation procedures. Recent developments include the sapphire blade and needle-free anesthesia alternatives. Furthermore, clients have the opportunity to be treated while in a state of natural sleep with our new sedation system Dexmedetomidine.
Does hair transplantation give permanent results?
Hair transplantation is the process of permanently re-hairing the areas where you previously experienced hair loss. DHT hormones are the main cause of hair loss especially with males. DHT hormone accumulates in the hair follicles when it is secreted too much and prevents the nourishment of the follicles. This process is the basis of hair loss. This is the main reason that the donor region is almost always the back of the head, because the hair follicles in this region are insensitive to DHT hormone and are not prone to letting go. After adapting to their new location, the new situation continues and you will have your permanent hair for life if you strictly follow our aftercare program.
