Treatment options and scope for hair loss can vary depending on individual needs. Hair transplantation is a recommended solution for hair loss, involving the transfer of hair follicles from the back of the scalp or any other body area to areas with thinning or baldness. This procedure is performed in a sterile environment by experts in a surgical setting. After local anesthesia, healthy hair follicles from stronger regions, typically the crown and forehead, are individually harvested and meticulously transplanted to the recipient sites. The procedure is not painful and can take approximately 4-6 hours, depending on the size of the transplantation area.
Hair Transplant
Sapphire FUE
Sapphire hair transplantation is an advanced and minimally invasive version of the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique, performed using special surgical pens with sharp tips made from sapphire gemstone. Hair transplantation operations, which provide a permanent solution to hair loss, have become widespread with the development of the FUE technique. The channels created by sharp sapphire blades are much smaller. The smooth surgical incision significantly shortens the healing process, reduces tissue deformation, and helps us achieve much more natural hair transplantation results.
DHI
DHI, derived from the initials of “Direct Hair Implantation,” stands for direct hair transplantation. The distinguishing feature of this procedure is the direct and immediate implementation of the hair transplantation process. In the DHI method of hair transplantation, hair follicles harvested from the donor area are directly implanted into the recipient area without creating any incisions. This means that both the extraction of hair follicles and their transplantation occur simultaneously in this method.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for the results of a hair transplant to show?
The results of a hair transplant can vary from person to person, but generally, the growth of new hair may take a few months. Hair may initially fall out within the first few weeks, but afterward, new hair follicles will start to grow. Full results typically become apparent within 9 to 12 months.
Is there any pain or discomfort during a hair transplant?
Pain during a hair transplant is minimal and can be tolerated by most individuals. Local anesthesia is typically administered, reducing the sensation of pain during the procedure. Additionally, prescription medications may be used to minimize post-operative pain. Therefore, any pain felt during a hair transplant procedure can usually be comfortably managed.
Are the results of hair transplantation permanent?
Yes, hair transplantation provides permanent results. The transplanted hair follicles are resistant to hair loss, making it an effective long-term solution. It also has a positive impact on a person’s psychology and social life.
