Hair transplantation applications are treatment methods that offer a permanent solution and give natural-looking results.

Both women and men may face the problem of hair loss at a certain period of their lives. Hair Transplantation is a highly effective method to provide a solution to this problem. ESTPOINT, which has extensive experience in this field in terms of health and aesthetics, is known as one of the best centers performing this procedure.

Hair loss can occur for many different reasons. Among the most common factors that cause this problem;

• Genetic characteristics,
• Hormonal changes,
• Aging
• Skin diseases,
• Side effects of some medicines,
• Stress and insomnia,

can be shown.

Since everyone has different reasons for hair loss, it is important to determine these factors before Hair Transplantation. Hair Transplantation can be applied by men and women who have hair loss problems. This treatment is recommended for people whose hair loss pattern has become prominent and stable. In addition, there must be enough donor hair to be transplanted.

Hair transplantation is the process of collecting hair follicles (grafts) from the donor area under a special microscope and then transplanting them to balding areas. Hair transplantation is performed under local anesthesia and is completed within 4 to 8 hours, depending on the situation.

Today, different hair transplantation methods are used. The most popular methods are FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation). Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. The evaluation of the Hair Transplant specialist and the patient's hair condition will determine which method will be applied.

A certain care and follow-up process is required after hair transplantation. There may be edema in the head area in the first 2 to 3 days and it should be known that this is a normal condition. It is very important to protect the hair transplant area, provide proper care, use the medications recommended by the doctor and avoid heavy physical activities for a certain period of time.

Hair Transplant Prices vary depending on the clinic performing the procedure, the hair transplant specialist, the method used and the number of hair follicles transplanted.

What is Hair Transplantation

Hair transplantation is the process of transplanting grafts taken from an area with intact hair follicles to areas where hair is sparse or absent. This application is considered one of the most popular aesthetic treatment methods today.

Throughout history, Hair Transplant Treatments have undergone a series of evolutions. In the 1930s, the first hair follicle transplantation idea was put forward but could not be implemented. In 1952, the first hair follicle transfer was performed. In the 1980s, the methods used in Hair Transplantation began to be developed and natural results were achieved in the 1990s.

Combined with modern technology, Hair Transplantation offers a safe way to achieve natural and effective results. It addresses localized or extensive hair loss or baldness in both men and women.

Why Hair Loss 

The scalp of an adult contains approximately 100,000 hairs. It is normal for a healthy individual to lose between 100 and 150 hairs a day and new hair grows in place of the lost hair. Hair loss occurs as a result of thinning of the hair follicles and new hair does not grow after hair loss. This problem can be solved quickly and safely with Hair Transplantation.

The biggest cause of hair loss is genetic factors. However, other causes, including the following, may also lead to Hair Loss problems and the need for Hair Transplantation;

• Hormonal changes
• Unbalanced or unhealthy diet
• Systemic diseases
• Chemical exposure
• Skin diseases
• Side effects of medicines
• Excessive stress and depression

What is a Hair Root 

The hair follicle is a part of the hair that is located in the fatty tissue under the scalp and is surrounded by cells that can form hair. All of these layers are necessary for the hair follicle to function in a functional way. During hair transplantation, the layers in the area where the hair follicles are taken should not be damaged.

The sections that make up the hair structure can be expressed as Epidermis, Dermis, Subcutaneous. Apart from this, hair type as well as hair structure is shown as one of the most important criteria in Hair Transplantation applications. Among the most common hair types in humans;

• Straight Hair
• Wavy Hair
• Curly Hair
• Very curly hair,

can be shown.

Hair Transplantation methods and exit angles may differ according to the hair type determined by the specialist physicians at the end of the examination. As a result of the examinations performed before hair transplantation, the hair structure and type of the person is determined. A personalized treatment plan is prepared.

What is Hair Structure, What are the Types 

Hair structure differs from person to person and includes components such as hair, muscle, skin, root and gland. We can express the layers that make up the structure of the hair as the skin area, under the skin area, support layer, loose connective tissue and outer covering layer.

What are the Factors Forming Hair Structure 

Hair loss has become an increasing problem due to the negative effects of daily life and genetic factors. Stressful life in cities and intense air pollution accelerate this process. Protein, water, oil and color pigments in hair strands are important for healthy hair growth and reaching the desired volume. There are three different hair types seen in the hair structure: vellus, terminal and intermediate.

Who is Hair Transplantation Suitable for

Hair Transplantation is suitable for everyone who has hair loss and baldness problems. It can be applied to anyone from early 20s to late 70s, regardless of gender. Hair Transplantation is a very effective solution for those who want to increase hair density or eliminate baldness.

In order for Hair Transplantation to be successful, there must be healthy follicles on the back and side of the head. Hair Transplantation can also be applied for scars, hair loss as a result of cosmetic treatment and those who have undergone unsuccessful hair transplantation treatment.

Before Hair Transplant 

Before hair transplantation, the number of hair follicles (grafts) the patient will need is determined. Then, the patient's hair is analyzed and the most appropriate hair transplantation method is determined. Tests such as HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Hemogram and PT tests can be applied to the patient. The most appropriate Hair Transplantation Technique is determined by taking into account the test results, the patient's skin structure, hair density and age.

How Hair Transplantation is Performed 

Hair Transplantation consists of 4 main steps performed by a specialist doctor; Consultation, Blood Test, Determination of the Natural Hairline, Hair Root Extraction and Determination of the Transplantation Area... It is important that the patient does not smoke, drink alcohol, use coffee and blood thinners before Hair Transplantation Treatment.

Before starting the hair transplant operation, the hair on the patient's scalp is completely shaved. The reason for this is to provide a better view of the hair follicles to be taken and to provide convenience during the application.

Before the start of the operation, an armchair where the patient can sit comfortably and an environment where the patient will feel comfortable is prepared. Local anesthesia is then applied to the patient. Local anesthesia is necessary to prevent any pain or discomfort during the procedure.

Hair Transplant Operation takes between 4 to 8 hours. It may take 1 or 2 days depending on the patient's condition. This procedure is usually performed using either FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) or FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) techniques. After the hair follicles are extracted within the scope of the application, the follicles are transplanted to the areas to be transplanted. The hair follicles are transplanted at a certain angle & direction so that they remain under the skin and grow healthier.

After the hair transplantation is completed, 10 to 12 days should be waited for the hair follicles to fully recover and new hair to start growing. It is very important to follow your physician's instructions during this period. It is also important to rest properly and keep your head in the right position during this time.

After Hair Transplantation, the scalp is covered with a dressing and this dressing is removed within a few days after the treatment. Hair washing starts within 2 to 3 days after the procedure. Your doctor will give detailed instructions on how to wash your hair after hair transplantation.

In conclusion, Before, During and After Hair Transplantation requires a comprehensive evaluation and a careful procedure. However, with the guidance of the right specialist and proper care, you can have fuller and natural-looking hair after a successful Hair Transplant. As ESTPOINT Hair Transplant Center, we would like you to know that we are very happy to offer you professional support and guidance at every stage.

Determination of the Natural Hairline and the Amount of Grafts to be Used 

During the Hair Transplantation process, the areas affected by the patient's hair loss and the areas where hair follicles can be harvested are examined in detail. The amount of grafts to be taken to achieve the desired result is determined and the most suitable Hair Transplantation Method is selected for the patient. When the hairline is correctly determined and agreed with the patient, the Hair Transplantation procedure can be started.

Preparation for Hair Transplant Operation 

The preparation process for hair transplantation begins with shaving the areas where hair follicles will be taken and transplantation will be performed. After the anesthesia method to be applied is determined and the head area is prepared for the operation, the Hair Transplantation procedure is started. Your communication with your physician is important in this process. Getting information about all procedures and risks allows you to go through the process more consciously.

Hair Transplant Operation 

Hair Transplant operation starts after the completion of the preparation process. Hair Transplant operation is performed in 3 basic steps;

Anesthesia Application : Local anesthesia is applied to the areas to be removed before the operation. In this way, patients do not feel any pain during the procedure. Sedation is preferred for patients who do not accept local anesthesia.

• Collection of hair follicles from the recipient area: Whether you are a man or a woman, the hair on the sides and back of the scalp continues to grow for a lifetime. The grafts taken from these areas, i.e. hair follicles, are prepared for Hair Transplantation.
• Transplanting the collected hair follicles to the designated areas: In the areas where hair transplantation is planned, very small incisions are created for the placement of hair follicles. The process of opening these incisions and placing the hair follicles may vary depending on the hair transplantation method to be applied.

Dressing and Hair Washing after Hair Transplantation 

Hair Transplantation takes between 4 to 8 hours. After the operation, a bandage is applied to the area where the hair follicle is harvested and the patient is given the necessary instructions with the medications to be used. The first washing is performed by specialized health personnel in a clinical environment.

After Hair Transplant 

The first three days after hair transplantation are critical for hair follicles to hold on. In this process, it is necessary to avoid contact with the head area and protect it from impacts. It is also important to avoid strenuous physical activities during the first 1 week to 10 days and to report any itching and crusting that may occur in the Hair Transplantation area to the specialist physician.

Hair Transplantation Methods 

Hair Transplantation is performed with different techniques depending on the genetic characteristics of the person, the level of baldness, the number of grafts needed and the technology to be used. Among the most commonly used Hair Transplantation Methods today;

Advantages of Hair Transplantation

Hair Transplantation is a treatment method that offers a natural & permanent solution to people who experience hair loss or thinning. While Hair Transplantation has many advantages, the most prominent among these advantages are;

• Natural Appearance : Hair Transplantation is performed by using the person's own hair follicles. Therefore, the transplanted hair looks natural and cannot be distinguished from real hair.
• Permanent Solution : Hair Transplantation is a permanent solution for hair loss. With the survival and healthy growth of the transplanted hair follicles, the Hair Loss Problem is permanently solved.  
• Increased Self-Confidence : As a result of Hair Transplantation, people who have a denser and fuller hair appearance have a significant increase in self-confidence.

we can state as.

Disadvantages of Hair Transplantation 

Although Hair Transplantation is generally a safe and successful procedure, it has some disadvantages & risks as in every medical procedure. Among the problems that may arise after Hair Transplantation if it is not performed by specialist physicians under clinical conditions;

• Post-Treatment Pain and Discomfort : Pain and discomfort may be experienced after hair transplantation, especially in the transplanted area.
• Insufficient Hair Root: Hair transplantation is based on the use of one's own hair follicles. If the person does not have enough healthy hair follicles, Hair Transplantation may become difficult or the desired results may not be achieved.
• Risk of Scarring: After the Hair Transplantation procedure, scarring may occur in the transplanted area. However, this risk can be minimized in procedures performed by an experienced hair transplant doctor.

may occur.

Shampoo After Hair Transplant 

The shampoo used after hair transplantation is of great importance. Specially formulated shampoos after treatment strengthen hair follicles and allow hair to grow faster. In addition, while cleaning the scalp, it does not damage the hair follicles and reduces crusting.

Applications Supporting Hair Transplantation 

After the hair transplantation procedure, some supportive applications can be made to ensure faster and healthier hair growth. These applications include treatments that strengthen the hair follicles and provide extra nutrients to the scalp. For example; PRP Treatment encourages faster hair growth by providing rich proteins to the hair follicles. Laser Therapy can also be used to accelerate the healing of the scalp after Hair Transplantation.

Applications used after Hair Transplantation and supporting the process;

• Special Micro Needle Treatment (PRP): This method is known as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). It is based on injecting plasma obtained from your own blood and filled with growth factors into the scalp. This procedure can speed up recovery after a hair transplant and make new hair grow faster.
• Needle Mesotherapy : During this procedure, very small needles are used and the nutrients needed by the hair are injected under the skin. This method is used to revitalize the hair and prevent hair loss.
• Laser Therapy : It is a method of revitalizing hair follicles and stimulating growth using low-level laser light. This treatment is painless and can help speed up recovery after transplantation.
• Ozone Mesotherapy : In this treatment, ozone gas and multi vitamins are mixed and applied to the hair transplantation area. Ozone increases blood flow. Accelerates cell regeneration (Mesotherapy)
• Medications Used After Hair Transplantation: Various medications and serums can be used after hair transplantation. These medications help to nourish the transplanted hair follicles, prevent hair loss and encourage new hair growth. In addition, the importance of anti-edema medications and reducing salt consumption can also be emphasized.

We can explain it as follows.
