Hair Transplant

Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that offers a permanent and effective solution for people experiencing hair loss or baldness. This procedure is usually performed by transplanting healthy hair follicles taken from areas of the person that do not experience hair loss (usually the nape area) to hairless or thinning areas. Hair transplantation is a widely preferred aesthetic treatment method today because it provides natural-looking and permanent results. Hair transplantation is performed with two main techniques: **FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)** and **FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation)**. In the FUE method, hair follicles are taken one by one and placed in the area to be transplanted. This method is minimally invasive and has a shorter recovery time. In the FUT method, a thin strip of tissue is removed from the donor area and the hair follicles on this strip are prepared for transplantation and transplanted to the hairless area. The method to be preferred is determined by the patient's hair loss type, the condition of the donor area and personal preferences. Hair transplantation is usually performed under local anesthesia and the procedure time can vary between 4-8 hours depending on the number of hair follicles to be transplanted. After the procedure, slight swelling and discomfort may be felt for a few days, but this condition quickly resolves. Hair growth in the transplanted area usually begins after 3-4 months and it may take 12-18 months for full results to be seen. Hair transplantation provides extremely natural results when planned correctly and performed by a specialist surgeon. However, for a successful hair transplant, it is of great importance to pay attention to the doctor's recommendations before and after the procedure and to apply appropriate care and treatment methods. Hair transplantation is a treatment option that increases self-confidence and improves the quality of life for many people experiencing hair loss, as it usually offers a permanent solution.
