Hair Transplantation Techniques

Although there are many hair transplantation methods, there are 2 techniques in hair transplantation today. These techniques are;

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) Hair Transplant Technique

FUT hair transplantation technique, which is one of the oldest hair transplantation methods, is less preferred than other techniques. The reason why it is less preferred is; It leaves scars and feels more pain compared to other methods. In this method, the hair follicles to be used for planting from the back of the head, behind the ears, are cut together with the existing skin layer from the nape area between the two ears and added to the required area.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) Technique

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a hair transplant technique performed without cutting the scalp. Since there will be no incision during the procedure, there is no scarring. It is the most preferred hair transplant method. In the FUE hair transplant technique, hair follicles are selected one by one from the donor area and then implanted in the area to be transplanted.

Things to Consider After Hair Transplant

• Attention should be paid to the planted area for a week or 10 days after the application.
• Hair follicles should be protected from trauma and impact.
• The areas where hair follicles are taken and transplanted should be washed with a special shampoo. Instead of pouring the shampoo directly on the scalp, a small amount of shampoo should be taken into the palm and applied by foaming.
• No rubbing should be done and should be treated as gently as possible.
• It can be massaged gently and slowly using fingertips throughout the wash.
• Towels should not be used after the washing process is finished. Paper towels should be used instead of towels. Also, a hair dryer should be used.
• This shampooing and washing can be done every day to remove the crusting that occurs after hair transplantation.
• Washing can be done once a day and should not be done more.
• After an average of 7 or 10 days, there should be no trace of these crusts. It should not be exposed to direct sun.
• After an average of 14 days, the normal washing phase can be started.

How is Hair Transplantation Applied?

Before starting the hair transplant operation, the patient’s expectations are listened to, and then various analyzes and hair analyzes are performed by the specialist plastic surgeon. After the analysis, the region and amount of the grafts and the area to be transplanted are determined. Local anesthesia is applied during the operation. Thus, you can have a painless operation.
