The hair transplant procedure involves using hair follicles from the back of the head and between the ears, which are resistant to balding. These follicles are harvested using micro-motors and then transferred to areas where hair is thinning or bald. This way, hair transplantation promotes the regrowth of lost or thinning hair, resulting in a fuller, healthier-looking head of hair.
The hair transplant procedure is completed within a few hours, depending on the rate of hair loss and the amount of hair to be transplanted. In cases where the bald area is very extensive, multiple sessions might be necessary to complete the treatment. Hair transplantation is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation. After the treatment, a special bandage is applied to the individual's head.
One of the most crucial elements of hair transplantation is the creation of the hairline. The hairline is an element that both you and those around you see every day. If the hairline looks natural, the rest of the hair transplant will look great too. However, if the front part looks bad, the condition of the rest of the hair transplant becomes irrelevant. Correctly determining the hairline, ensuring it integrates well with the patient's facial features, and enhancing long-term satisfaction with the results are all critical aspects.
After deciding on a hair transplant, a new hairline is drawn on the balding area, and an assessment is made to determine the number of hair follicles (grafts) needed for the bald region. If the donor area has the required number of hair follicles, an operation plan is made. While creating the treatment protocol, the doctor first determines the number of grafts needed based on the extent of the patient's hair loss. To avoid damaging the donor area, an optimal number of hair follicles are extracted and transplanted in areas that are not too extensive. This number can only be definitively determined after a one-on-one consultation with the doctor.
The channel opening process is an indispensable step for achieving a natural appearance. The density, distribution, and direction of the channels will significantly influence future hair growth. All must be calibrated with microscopic precision. The angle and direction of the channels should align with the natural growth angle of the hair. Another factor is the blade used during the channel opening. The doctor aims to minimize cutting to reduce trauma to the scalp. At the same time, by using the best tools for the hair transplant operation, the goal is to minimize the patient's pain. We consider the transplant pen to be the best tool for this purpose.
