HAIR TRANSPLANTATION
A. Hair Transplantation
Hair transplantation is the most natural and permanent solution for hair loss. In hair transplantation, the healthy hair of the patient himself/herself is implanted to the areas of hair loss. Individuals with scars, or those who have lost hair due to various diseases, can also safely undergo a hair transplant surgery. Women and men can both benefit from this procedure. Hair transplantation techniques performed in the 1960s through the 1990s utilized large grafts that created an unfortunate public image of unnatural-appearing transplanted hair. Over the last 15 years, hair transplantation has been performed using follicular units to create consistently natural-looking transplanted hair in both men and women. Modern techniques used for hair transplantation at the SE Hair Clinic give our patients natural-looking and lifelong results.
A. FUE Hair Transplant
The FUE (folicular unit extraction) hair transplant is the gold standard of hair transplant surgery.
FUE is a hair transplantation technique which has been developed during the introduction of modern technologies in hair implantation. It is used at nearly all hair transplant clinics around the world. In this technique a special instrument is used to extract grafts one by one, without leaving an elongated scar. Required amount of hair follicles (donor grafts) are harvested from the back of the head with the help of micromotors and microtips of 0.6-0.8 mm in diameter. Follicles in these areas are immune to hair loss. Double and triple hair follicles which are extracted from the donor area separated and counted one by one. These donor grafts are then preserved in a liquid solution that maximises survivability.Thanks to the micro tools, the deformation is less and the healing process is shortened. FUE method that does not leave any scar in the back part of the head.
The technique is known with different names, such as Classic FUE (via micro motors), Robotic FUE, DHI technique (FUE performed with Choi implanters), and Sapphire FUE (FUE performed with Sapphire blades).
B. Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant
Sapphire FUE technique, known as a new hair transplant technique which performed with precious gemstone called sapphire blades.
Sapphire blades are smoother and sharper than steel blades, they can create smaller incision. Additionally, when the channels are opened as small as possible, it becomes easier for them to heal after the procedure. Hair follicles are more tightly secured inside smaller channel.
C. DHI Hair Transplant
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is the most innovative technique of hair transplantation for the most natural and high-density results. DHI technique is also known as’’unshaven hair transplantation’’
DHI technique is the process of removing hair from the donor area with special pens and placing it in the area to be transplanted. Hair transplant is performed using ‘’Choi implanter pens’’ which provide denser hair transplantation. These pens, selected specifically for patients during operation, are single use for each patient.
The hair follicul taken from the donor area is placed in the area to be transplanted in a short time like 1-2 minutes with this special pens. Contrary to classical FUE method in DHI method, there is no need to pre-create implantation channels also reducing trauma to the scalp. DHI method enables to place the grafts at the right angle to direction of hair growth which allows the patients to obtain natural looking results
This transplantation method does not require shaving, so it is possible to transplant grafts between thinned existing hairs. This method can be preferred more in women hair transplant because it is possible to transplant hair follicles in the bald areas between the hair.
We are performing most of our patients FUE and DHI hair transplant techniques, which are considered as the most advanced techniques in hair transplantation all over the world.
D. Hair Transplant for Women
Hair transplantation is an effective treatment method that has a positive effect on individuals with hair loss; affecting every aspect of their lives.
Although most of the hair transplantion patients are still men, most of the women have begun to seek hair transplant procedure as a hair loss treatment.
Hair transplantation is considered a very important treatment as the final result of this procedure will contribute positively to the physical appearance of the woman. In addition to its negative effects on physical appearance, hair loss can also lead to feelings of extreme psychological distress.
Hair loss in women can be triggered by many conditions, it is much more harder to diagnose when compared to men.
Causes of hair loss in women are:
• Having a genetic predisposition to hair loss
• Change in hormone levels
• Crash dieting/rapid weight loss
• Iron Deficiency
• Autoimmune diseases
• Medication
• Menopause
• Pregnancy
• Excessive stress
Female Pattern Hair Loss also known as Androgenetic Alopecia, is the most common cause of hair loss in women. Before recommending any treatment plan for women, their hair loss type and the causes must be identified. The correct diagnosis can be made by a dermatologist.
Determining whether the hair loss condition is permanent or temporary, progressive or stable will also help in choosing the most effective treatment program for the patient.
Hair transplantation offers a permanent solution for hair loss for women. Hair transplantation is one of the most preferred treatments among women with localized or male pattern hair loss.
As with all hair transplant treatments, hair transplantation for women should be customized and planned according to individual specifications. Although the basic principles remain the same, women are not required to shave their heads completely before their hair transplantation procedure.
E. Beard And Moustache Transplantation
Mustache and beard, which are very important for men.Beard has been an important part of styling for people who care about appearance in recent years
Beard transplantation is performed just like basic hair transplant operations. First, a beard map plan is created then FUE beard transplantation is performed with the hair follicles taken from the back of the head. The hair follicles are implanted the planned area by Choi implanter pen method(DHI).
The recovery period of the beard transplant operation is much shorter than the hair transplant becouse injuries and crusting are also less common.
Patient need a day to recover from the beard implant surgery. Tiny crusts may form around each implanted hair follicle, but these should fall off within a few days.
Implanted new beard hairs may fall out after 2 or 3 weeks. This is normal and new hair will grow in its place
F. Eyebrow Transplantation
Some patients have very rare eyebrows caused by factors such as genetics, excessive picking, burns and accidents, tattoos or thyroid diseases.
Eyebrow transplantation permanently returns the eyebrows to their almost natural appearance.
Eyebrow hair grafts are taken from hairs above your ears.
While designing eyebrows graft placement is very important for natural-looking.
Choi implanter pen method (DHI) effectively controls the angle of implantation and the natural densitiy results.
I. Ozone Therapy
Ozone therapy is a safe and effective treatment method used in many health fields in recent years.
Using ozone therapy while hair transplantation procedures increases the success rate in hair transplantation operations. Thanks to ozone therapy both the operation and the healing process are much faster. Ozone helps to increase the amount of oxygen in the blood, allowing the operated hair follicles and donor skin area to recover more quickly.
On coming in contact with the hair roots, ozone rejuvenates and fortifies the hair follicles to strengthen and nourish the hair and scalp. This therapy eliminates any microbial infection present in the scalp and hair.
J. Low-Level Laser Therapy
Low-level laser therapy, Laser Light Therapy – also referred to as red light therapy beams photons of light into the scalp tissue. The increase in nutrients and oxygen helps regenerate the follicles faster.
LLLT, non-invasive and painless, has no side effects and strengthens the hair roots. It is safe and effective in both men and women.
After transplantation, LLLT helps with the overall healing process and the initial growth of hair root from the sleep cycle.
