Hair Transplant Procedure
​
Hair transplant surgery is a simpler and less abrasive operation compared to many plastic surgeries. The surgical procedure is performed by transplanting the hair follicles taken from areas resistant to baldness such as the chest, leg or arm, especially the back of the head to the area where hair loss occurs. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplantation technique is the most preferred hair transplantation method at the present time.
In terms of price and effectiveness, people with hair loss problems and health institutions applying the treatment often prefer this technique. In terms of price and effectiveness, people with hair loss problems and health institutions that apply the treatment often prefer this technique. The technique is called Micro FUE technique because of the micro-sized surgical instruments used in the procedure. In the FUE technique, hair follicles taken from the back of the neck with 0.6-0.7 mm thick surgical blades called “punch” are transferred to the spilled areas. After the operation, the transplanted hair follicles will begin to grow immediately. Micro wounds in the back of the neck usually heal within 48 hours and you can return to your work life on the 3rd day and your normal life on the 10th day after the operation.
PRP Supported Hair Transplant
What is PRP ?
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is used to support for rapid healing of scars and hair growth. PRP treatment helps to regenerate weak hair follicles that tend to loss.
It is observed that hair loss in the operation area is relatively less and the hair grows stronger and healthier in patients who are treated with PRP. In addition, the scars of the patients who received PRP support prior recover faster after the hair transplantation operation. After the operation, the red spots and crusted areas disappear quickly and the hair regrowth capacity increases in the hair transplant area.
PRP liquid contains a large number of platelet cells obtained from the patient's blood. Before the procedure, blood is taken from the patient and PRP liquid is prepared after various processes. There is no need to evaluate the immune response level since the patient's own blood is used.
How is PRP liquid obtained?
​
As with all blood tests, 10 cc of blood is taken from the patient to be treated with PRP.
-
The sample is transferred into a special device in a sterile tube to obtain the platelet-rich part of the blood.
-
The blood cells are rotated in a centrifuge device, thereby the platelet-rich cells of the blood could be concentrated.
With this procedure, the platelet ratio in PRP can be increased 4-8 times. The literature has shown that the growth factor of hair follicles is dependent on platelet cells.
PRP treatment has three roles in hair transplantation operation:
-
Revitalizing hair follicles after hair transplantation (PRP supported FUE)
-
Ensuring rapid hair growth after hair transplantation
-
Supporting the growth and stimulation of transplanted hair follicles
DHI Hair Transplantation
DHI (unshaved hair transplantation) hair transplantation is the highest point that medical technologies have reached in hair health. High success rates and lifelong permanence can be achieved when hair transplantation is performed using new technologies and micro-medical tools. In this new generation innovative method, the grafts are placed on the scalp with the implanter one by one. Special tools and types of equipment to be used during the application help to keep the scars at a minimum level in the application area. Moreover in DHI hair transplantation, there is no channel opening phase in order to decrease the outside waiting time of these grafts and increase the total adhesion rates. In addition, the follicules can be implanted closer to each other during application. As a result, the appearance in the recovery period will be showed as a natural scalp.
This procedure that performed by our specialist doctors and hair transplant professionals, can provide up to 99% adhesion rates, a fast healing process and minimal risk of infection.
How is DHI Hair Transplant performed?
DHI hair transplantation is applied after local anesthesia to ensure having a painless experience. Anesthesia with sedation ensures that hair transplantation can be completed for about 6 to 8 hours without feeling any pain. We care about making our patients feel comfortable in all processes for aesthetic purposes and providing the conditions that will make this possible.
What is the Difference Between FUE and DHI?
The recent technologies and techniques developed for the hair transplantation suggest that the grafts are placed one by one on the scalp. In this way, it is possible to place the grafts into the tissue with the least damage. Unlike the Sapphire FUE hair transplant method, DHI allows this process to be performed with a special high-tech tool.
DHI Hair Transplant with Choi Implanter Pen
The medical implanter pen, which has a thin, sharp and cylindrical tip called Choi, allows grafts to be placed on the scalp in one step without the need to create any incisions or channels. While in other hair transplantation procedures, collecting grafts, opening the canal and implanting the grafts into the canal require three different steps, DHI allows the channel opening and graft placement processes to be performed in one step.
What are the advantages of DHI Hair Transplantation?
-
Hair follicles can be placed more frequently with the DHI hair transplant method.
-
The recovery period of hair transplantation, which is completed without any incision, would be much shorter.
-
The procedure that is completed without opening the canal and making an incision, minimizes the risk of infection.
-
In other hair transplant procedures, the grafts are kept in a special solution for a long time after they are collected. Since a separate step is not required to open channels, direct graft placement is started in DHI hair transplantation. This allows the grafts to meet with the tissue without losing their vitality and root loss is minimized, while adhesion rates increase.
-
The Unshaved hair transplantation method is possible with the DHI procedure.
How long does hair growth take after a DHI Hair transplant?
Faster tissue recovery means that the appearance of the transplanted and harvesting areas will return to normal after the hair transplant procedure, and you can continue your daily life with a natural appearance in a very short time. After the shock loss experienced in the first month after the hair transplant procedure, the hair goes into the growth and development phase. Hair follicles, which seem thin and weak initial, become thicker and stronger over time with the support of the treatments recommended by your specialist doctor. After DHI hair transplantation refers to a period in which your hair grows and becomes stronger within the nine months. When the first year is completed, your hair reaches its final appearance.
DHI Hair Transplant Suitable For Everyone?
DHI hair transplantation is one of the most convenient ways to obtain natural and healthy hair. In general, anyone who is suitable for other hair transplantation procedures can also be performed hair transplantation using DHI method. Globus Health and its team of specialist doctors determine whether you are suitable for hair transplantation with various tests and blood tests that will be performed before starting the hair transplantation procedure.
The recovery process following a hair transplant
​
Since the scalp is extremely sensitive after the hair transplant operation, it is essential to take serious preventions to protect the skin in the first week. In this process, which is also called the hair follicles attachment process, it is necessary to stay away from dusty and dirty environments, not to use alcohol and cigarettes, not to do extreme activities, and not to apply any substance to the scalp other than the substances given by your doctor. You should not wash your hair for the first two days after the transplantation. At the end of three days, the first hair wash is performed by your doctor at the transplant center.
​
In addition, red dots or crusting may occur on the scalp. This redness and crusting, which are quite normal, improve in a short time. Due to these normal processes, there is usually no situation for the patient to worry about.
The second process begins in a few weeks after the transplantation; In this step, which lasts for about six months, weak hair falls out and new hair follicles begins to appear. In this process, there are some issues that the patient should be careful about. It is very important not to swim in the sea and in the pool, not to shower with very hot water, not to be exposed to high pressure water and to stay away from products such as jelly and spray. A very large part of the hair will be evident within 6-9 months after the procedure.
After the transplanting process, a phase called shock loss will begin that varies from the person to person. Shock loss is normal process and should not be worried about it. The transplanted hairs fall out only, the transplanted follicles are still alive under the skin. It takes a mean of 6 to 9 months to achieve the desired result after transplantation.
