Hair loss, lifestyle changes and malnutrition is an important problem that starts at an early age due to stress and insomnia. Hair loss, which starts as thinning of the hair and regression of the anterior hairline, may develop due to genetic reasons in men and hormonal reasons and some diseases in women. The reasons such as vitamin and mineral deficiencies and hormonal problems that cause hair loss should be investigated by going through a health screening of those who have hair loss complaints. Today, individuals who are older than 21 years of age and have hair loss problems can undergo hair transplantation. If the shedding continues after the necessary treatments are applied, or if the hair has opened at a level that cannot be healed, hair transplantation can be performed.

The method commonly used in hair transplantation in recent years is the FUE method.

In Sapphire FUE method, micro motor is used. Since these tips are 0.6 - 0.7 mm, no scars are left on the back of the neck or where the hair follicles are taken, and the patient feels much less pain after the operation. Since local anesthesia is applied before hair transplantation, the patient does not feel any pain during the operation.

The micro motor tip is immersed in the skin to center the hair root, and the hair is removed together with the follicle and the surrounding tissue. This whole structure is called a "graft". After the grafts are removed, they are kept in a special solution until the transplantation process to prevent any damage.

While transplanting, the direction of hair growth and the hair structure of the patient are also taken into account, and it is aimed to restore the hair to its natural state after transplantation. After the transplantation is completed, the patient is discharged after dressing the operation area. These hairs, which are taken from different regions and transplanted to the desired region, adapt to the hair characteristics of the region to which they are transplanted and continue their life with the same appearance. After the hair completes its adaptation and development, it gains its most natural appearance in one or two years, depending on its physical characteristics.

Grafts transplanted after hair transplantation begin to shed at the end of about a month. In the continuation of this process, between the second and third months, new hair grows and fills the bald areas. Towards the end of the sixth month, the transplanted area begins to regain its old hairy appearance. Since the hair carries the person's own DNA, it comes out in the same color and character. Since the hair follicles taken with the FUE method do not have the property of shedding, there is no question of hair loss again.

Conditions such as crusting, itching, redness and shedding that occur after hair transplantation are normal and can be considered as a part of the healing process. Afterwards, the hair is washed with appropriate and recommended shampoos at the recommended intervals. Healing process; Within a week or two after the procedure, symptoms such as redness, crusting and itching disappear completely and the hair begins to grow. However, achieving the desired natural appearance requires a process between six months and one year. Complying with the recommendations given by the physician is extremely important for the success of the hair transplant process. The process after the operation and the things to be considered are partly long. Since no incision is made during hair transplantation, there is no scar after healing.

The most common side effects after transplantation are swelling, the body's reaction to injury and damage. Swelling is a natural condition, harmless and temporary. Applying cold to the swollen area, keeping the area elevated, drinking plenty of water will help the swelling go away quickly and reduce its effect. Redness on the scalp, itching, slight bleeding are among the other side effects. Side effects that last two weeks and show improvement may be indicative of infection. In such a situation, it is necessary to consult a doctor.

How to wash after hair transplantation?

After the third day, you can start washing your hair with a shampoo recommended by the doctor. The bandage is removed the day after the hair transplant. Avoid hot water and sun. Tea and coffee should be consumed at a minimum level, smoking and alcohol should be avoided. Physical activities and stress should be avoided. After the second week, the wounds on the scalp begin to heal and the crusts fall off. In order to support the removal of dead skin, care should be taken to wash the scalp by massaging it. From the tenth day after hair transplantation, a small amount of hair loss is expected. Hair loss and regrowth occur at certain intervals. In fact, this shedding hair is previously leftover or unhealthy hair. These weak hairs shed and prepare the environment for healthier hair to grow and reproduce. People who experience hair loss after hair transplantation should know that this is normal and should not panic. Afterwards, regular hair growth is observed.

After one year, you will have natural-looking, fuller hair. And it can be shaped. Now the hair continues to grow and grow. Hair does not need any special care, shampoo or medication. Standard shampoos and hair care products are sufficient.
