Hair transplantation is an aesthetic operation that is frequently applied all over the world and especially when it comes to hair transplant in Turkey, patients from all over the world come to have it done. Hair transplantation is the process of planting the grafts with strong hair follicles taken from the donor area to the area where the hair is absent or sparse. The Japanese doctor Sasagawa was the first to introduce this procedure in the 1930s, but the first hair transplant took place in 1952. After Sasagawa, Orentreich demonstrated on subjects that hair had grown permanently. Then, in the 80s, Brazilian Uebel started to use hair transplantation and the method began to be heard all over the world. Its main popularity started when Rassman from the USA transplanted thousands of hair follicles at once with the microsurgery method. With the development of technology and the discovery of new planting materials, methods that lead to natural results were found in the early 1990s. Thus, the foundations for the development of today's modern methods and successful aesthetic transplant operation were laid.
Turkey is one of the first countries that come to mind when it comes to hair transplantation in health tourism. Patients from all over the world have been receiving this service from both affordable and high-quality aesthetic doctors in Turkey for years. Another advantage of having a hair transplant in Turkey is the availability of a hair transplant clinic suitable for every budget. Istanbul is the city with the most variety of hair transplant clinics in Turkey. İstanbul is followed by İzmir, Ankara, Antalya and Bursa in terms of clinical diversity. Since Bursa's transportation is very close to Istanbul, patients mostly come to Istanbul by plane and receive hair transplant services in Bursa.
When it comes to hair transplantation in Turkey, the most used method is the FUE method, and cases where this method is supported by other methods are also frequently seen. Patients usually make an online appointment from their country in advance and share their hair loss levels with the clinic. Later, patients learn how many grafts will cover this hair loss and get a price from the clinic. Finally, patients travel to Turkey by arranging their permits and flight tickets. Patients stay in Turkey for 1-2 days and perform hair transplant operations. Patients also visit tourism venues in their spare time after hair transplantation.
Before starting hair transplantation, the boundaries of the donor area and hair cloning area are drawn by the doctor first. Afterwards, shaving is applied to the area where the transplantation will be performed, but some aesthetic centers can also perform hair transplantation without shaving. In general, the stages of hair transplantation are divided into 4 parts as anesthesia application, collection and placement of grafts and mask application. In order for the person to have a comfortable and painless hair transplant operation, the spraying method is applied with a painless anesthesia device and the area to be transplanted is numbed. Since the needle is not used in the local anesthesia procedure, the anesthesia is sent under the skin without feeling any pain. Then, anesthesia application is completed with local anesthesia in order to increase the effect of painless anesthesia and to ensure that it lasts longer. First of all, grafts are collected as needed without deteriorating the structure of the area where the root will be taken. Since the collected grafts are living microorganisms, they are kept in the organ transplant solution. Grafts are placed one by one by opening channels in the region where the roots are determined. The process of placing the grafts made during hair transplantation takes about 3 hours. After the graft placement process is completed, various remedial applications can be made to the donor point. After the planting process is over, one session of ozone mesotherapy can be applied to the person.
There are two main methods used in hair transplantation both in the world and in Turkey, and these are FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction). These two methods are separated from each other by collecting hair follicles and the advantages and disadvantages of which method is appropriate are decided by the patient and the esthetician. However, in general, estheticians prefer the FUE method to the FUT method and patients are directed to this method. The reason for this is that the scar-shaped scar that occurs in hair transplantation with the FUT method is not present in the FUE method. In addition, the surgical tools required for rapid removal of hair follicles in the FUE method are sufficiently advanced. In hair transplantation with the FUE method, no visible scars remain in the donor area. The transplanted hair follicles are mostly shed by the end of the first month and start to grow again after two or three months. Although the results begin to be seen clearly at the end of the sixth month, the hair lasts a year. Thus, the hair transplanted to the recipient area is not lost for life, and the natural appearance expected by the patients is achieved more easily with the FUE method.
The number of hair follicles to be transplanted and the surface of the recipient area to be transplanted vary from patient to patient. Depending on the number of hair follicles to be transplanted, the strength of the donor area and the surface of the recipient area, the hair transplant operation takes 4-8 hours. The day after the operation, the patients go to their final check-ups, and during the health check, detailed information about the post-operative care is given to the patients.
Hair transplantation can be applied to all patients who experience hair loss, regardless of gender, but these patients should not have serious health problems. If there is no obstacle in the previous health tests, the hair transplant operation can be applied easily. Hair transplantation operation cannot be applied to patients whose cancer treatment continues. Care should be taken when applying hair transplantation in diabetic patients, and the doctor should make the final decision. Bleeding that may occur during the operation while the canals are opened on the skin and hair follicles are taken from the donor area can be a risk factor. Hair transplantation is not applied to people who are allergic to various drugs and solutions applied to the scalp during hair transplantation, or it is applied carefully under the control of a doctor. In addition, hair transplantation cannot be applied to patients whose donor areas are completely inadequate. If there is no healthy root or donor area in the hairy area of the patient or in other parts of the body, hair transplantation cannot be done in these patients. Because hair transplantation is a procedure that can only be done from one's own body hair.
Hair transplantation is not a painful procedure because hair transplantation is applied to patients under local anesthesia. If the hair transplant operation will take a long time, there may be a short pain when the effect of local anesthesia decreases. However, with the anesthetic drug to be given again, this pain will be replaced by numbness in a very short time.
With the increasing interest in hair transplantation all over the world and the development of health tourism, this operation has emerged in clinics that perform this operation in extremely poor quality and illegal ways. In order not to fall into the money trap of such institutions, it is essential to conduct a detailed research on the clinics where hair transplantation will be performed. When it comes to hair transplantation in Turkey, all the clinics on our platform are approved by the Ministry of Health and provide quality service. In addition, the clinics on our platform have been performing hair transplant operations for years. Our patients coming from abroad are very satisfied with their operations. Hair transplant clinics should also offer realistic prices with accurate graft counts. It should never be forgotten that the hair transplant center should be seen on site and preliminary interviews should be made with the specialist physician who will perform the operation before hair transplantation is performed. The patient has a wide variety of options in Turkey and can get detailed information from these clinics by filling out the form on our platform.
Hair transplantation is an operation that requires attention and meticulousness in many aspects, and even minor carelessness that may develop during transplantation can cause a great decrease in the success rate. One of the issues that requires the most attention is the front hairline, but it is a factor that greatly affects the facial expression of the person and the age at which it appears. If this line is not determined properly, unwanted images may occur in the patient as a result of hair transplantation. Therefore, working with an expert esthetician to determine the front hairline will prevent appearance problems. Determining the front hairline requires not only knowledge but also a high level of experience, and expert estheticians draw the most appropriate hairline by considering the head structure of the person. At this point, it is useful to emphasize the importance of the clinic and the choice of esthetician while having a hair transplant.
After hair transplantation, more blood is pumped by the body to the transplanted canals because it accelerates the body's healing and cell renewal, but on the other hand, it causes crusting in the transplantation area. Live hair follicles maintain their vitality during the transplantation process and continue to grow hair. In the first week after hair transplantation, this growth becomes visible, but these new hairs are broken and shed due to crusting. For this reason, this type of spill is called shock spill. Shock shedding is a condition that seems normal during the healing process of hair transplantation, and hair loss of this type should definitely not be considered as normal shedding, because shock shedding is the harbinger of new healthy hair to grow. Shock loss is seen in almost more than ninety percent of patients who have had hair transplantation. Shock shedding begins with the second week and usually spreads up to a month. After a one-month shedding period, eighty-five percent of the hair transplanted in hair transplantation is lost. However, after this shedding, hair starts to grow again. Hair starts to grow again from the second month, but not all at the same time because the hair cycle time and growth rate of each strand differs. After the hair transplantation, the hairy appearance appears from the sixth month and the growth of all the transplanted hair is completed in one year.
The first bath can be done on the second day after hair transplantation, but there should be no water contact with the planting area. Because although the grafts are not suitable for washing yet, patients who want to take a bath can take a short shower to wash their body only, without contacting their heads with water, without continuing it long enough to create evaporation and humidity. The first hair wash is usually done by the clinic to avoid damage to the grafts. It is important to choose the right shampoo to be used in the first wash after hair transplantation and in the next series of washes, but it is still not right to exaggerate this issue and invest a lot of money in shampoos. Although shampoo is important in the first wash, the main point to be considered is how the washing process should be done and help should be sought from the health personnel in the clinic. When choosing a shampoo, it will be sufficient to choose a soft gel shampoo that foams easily and abundantly. In terms of being healthy, using baby shampoo can also be preferred by patients.
It is not possible to give a clear answer to the question of how much hair transplant costs in Turkey. Because the hair transplant sector is very large especially in Istanbul, followed by Ankara and Izmir. Prices vary from clinic to clinic and from esthetician to esthetician due to the level of service offered. Istanbul hair transplant prices are very variable and there can be many differences between the prices that can be given. The most obvious reason for this is the high number of hair transplant centers. If the hair transplant is going to be done in Istanbul, there are many options for the patients. There can be a hair transplant center suitable for every budget in Istanbul, but the success levels of the operations may vary.
It is never recommended to have hair transplantation in clinics that do hair transplantation at very affordable prices because this procedure has a certain cost. It should be taken into consideration that clinics which perform hair transplantation at below average prices may have deficiencies in many aspects. Hair transplantation clinics can be examined on our platform and if deemed appropriate, prices can be obtained from various clinics by filling out the form.
Hair transplantation is suitable for people over the age of 18, who have completed hair loss and who do not have any health problems for the operation. The doctor makes the final decision after listening to the patient's health history and certain health tests are performed.
Patients with diabetes, ongoing cancer treatment, high blood pressure problems and patients who are not considered suitable by the doctor after performing the necessary health tests are not suitable for hair transplantation. Final decision will be made by the doctors.
Hair transplantation is considered a surgical procedure and should be performed in a hospital environment against possible complications. It is performed under local anesthesia with aesthetic surgeons and expert teams.
Turkey is preferred by patients from all over the world due to the fact that it has expert clinical teams both in terms of geographical location and price performance. You can have your hair transplant operation in Turkey with peace of mind.
Although hair transplantation is done in all seasons, it is more appropriate for patients to do it in the seasons when they feel most comfortable. The important thing is not the season in which the hair transplant is done, but the correct protection of the transplanted area at first. In the winter months, it is not recommended to go out in cold weather. Even if it is to be removed, the planting area should be protected. In summer, it should be ensured that the planting area is not exposed to direct sunlight.
Thanks to expert teams, very thin health equipment is used in the donor area and minimal damage is given to the surrounding tissue. Thus, scarring in the donor area is prevented.
After the shock loss occurs, the hair starts to grow slowly, but it takes between 6 months and 1 year for the hair to reach the desired consistency. Factors such as good protection of the transplanted area, some changes in nutritional habits and the strength of the hair follicles are very effective on this period. In addition, the pain felt by the patient in the FUE method is minimal.
FUE technique is the most efficient hair transplantation technique when applied by specialist physicians. FUE technique can be applied in a shorter time than the other method. In addition, the costs of the FUE method are lower.
Pain is felt only during the injection of anesthesia with a needle during the injection. Since it is performed under anesthesia, the patient does not feel any pain during the operation and in cases where anesthesia is insufficient, the doctor will increase the dosage. Painkillers can be used to relieve pain that may occur after the operation. Some burning pain may be felt in the first few hours.
The shock loss experienced after transplantation is temporary and the hair that grows afterwards is permanent for life. The success of hair transplantation procedures performed in a professional application center is over 95%, it provides results that satisfy the patient and is permanent for life.
As the final decision will be made by the doctor, hair transplantation can be applied to patients who have such skin problems. However, since the tissue in the recipient area is damaged, the team must work meticulously. If attention is paid to the nutrition of the tissue, the result of the hair transplant surgery will be successful.
If you regularly use any medication, you should definitely tell your hair transplant surgeon before hair transplant surgery. In particular, it may be recommended to discontinue blood thinners and similar drugs a few days before hair transplant surgery, after consultation with your doctor. Your doctor will inform you about some drugs that should be discontinued before the operation, drugs containing vitamin e, garlic and its derivatives. The most important advice for people who want to have a hair transplant is that they should tell the hair transplant surgeon about all the medications they are currently taking.
