When will the traces of the transplant not be visible?

 

The punctures themselves from the hair transplant intervention will not be visible after 5 days, redness of the skin can last up to 10-14 days. After the grafts are removed, micro-wounds remain on the scalp, as after a medical needle injection, which heal within 3-5 days.

 

 

Is it possible to take hair from the chest?

 

Theoretically, it is possible take hair from the chest for hair transplantation, but no one can give a lifetime guarantee for them. In addition, the result of such a hair transplant turns out to be unaesthetic.

 

 

What is the natural density of hair per 1 cm2?

 

The natural density of the hair is from 60 to 80 follicles per 1 cm2. With the new methods in 2022, due to manual removal and setting, hair transplant specialists achieve a density of 80 to 120 follicles per 1 cm2 and provide a natural angle of inclination of the hair.

 

 

 

Hair Transplant Techniques

 

There are two main surgical techniques in the field of hair transplant surgery. These are Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE).

However, with the new technologies that have developed in recent years, more effective techniques are now being applied. The most common among these are Sapphire FUE, which is made with a sapphire tip, and Direct Hair Implantation (DHI), a new generation technique called direct hair transplantation. The FUE method is preferred because it covers larger areas than the DHI method. The DHI method, on the other hand, provides a good ratio to achieve higher density. Of course, the DHI technique is more expensive than others.

 

FUT Technique

In the FUT technique, a piece of skin is removed and divided into separate groups of follicular units under the microscope and then transplanted into the recipient area. This technique is outdated and not used much nowadays.

 

FUE Technique

The FUE technique is a very common technique in hair transplant area. Each hair graft is taken one by one from the donor area with a punch tool, and thus scars are usually not formed.

 

 

Sapphire FUE Technique

 

The FUE technique with a sapphire tip. This is also quite popular in Turkey for hair transplant hospitals.

 

 

DHI Technique

The difference between the DHI technique and the FUE technique is the method of transplanting the hair. In the FUE technique, incisions made on the entire scalp and follicle units are placed on these incisions, while with the DHI technique, a patented tool called DHI choi pen is used during each implant of the graft to the scalp, and there will be no incision.

In addition, a robotic hair transplantation system can be applied with this method. Again, while the channel is opened in the FUE technique, there is no need to open the channel in the DHI technique.

 

Success Rate in Hair Transplantation and Things to Be Cautious

 

Percentage-wise, you can usually achieve a success rate of Hair Transplant up to 99% in well-equipped clinics and hospitals with state-of-the-art technology, quality, and world-class doctors.

However, it is useful to know that hair transplantation and treatments should be done by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and physicians with medical aesthetic medicine certificates. It should be done in full-fledged clinics or hospitals authorized by the Ministry of Health of Turkey.

There are also hair transplant centers, which are considered to have increased in number in recent years and they are notoriously called “unlicensed”. We strongly recommend you to ask the doctor/surgeon, clinic/hospital, method/technique, ministry of health authorization, and approval of your hair transplant company and be strictly inquisitive against very cheap offers.

 

How Painful is A Hair Transplant?

 

The Hair Transplant procedure is painless. Hair transplantation is performed under local anesthesia. There are no stitches and scars left, since absolutely no incisions are made either in the hair removal zone (donor area) or in the hair transplant zone.

 

Be sure to review before planning your hair transplant.

 

Hair transplantation does not promise anyone lush and dense hair. So don't have too high expectations.

Hair transplantation is performed under local anesthesia. If you have any disease that may affect your health and pose a danger, you must first inform your doctor, get the necessary treatment for your disease, and then start hair transplant treatment.

·       If you have unrealistic expectations and your donor area is insufficient, you are not a good candidate and should not receive this treatment.

 

·       If you have an active skin disease, it should be treated before.

 

·       Your B12, B6, and zinc levels should be normal.

·       If you have any thyroid problem, it should be treated before. Also, if you are HIV positive or you have Hepatitis C, then the hair transplant operation fails.

 

·       Your blood sugar should be at normal levels, especially for diabetics. If you have psychological disorders such as trichotillomania, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, you should be aware of this and all these should be investigate.
