Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure applied to regrow the hair of people who have hair loss problems. This process involves transplanting the hair follicles taken from the area where the hair is taken (usually the nape area) to the area where hair loss is experienced.
Hair transplantation can be done with several different techniques. The most common techniques include FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation). While the FUE procedure involves taking and transplanting hair follicles one by one, the FUT procedure involves taking the hair follicles as a strip and then transplanting them one by one. DHI, on the other hand, allows the hair follicles to be transplanted directly with the use of a special pen.
Hair transplantation is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes about 6-8 hours. After the procedure, side effects such as crusting, redness, and mild pain may be seen in the hairy area of the patient. However, these side effects usually go away within a few days.
Hair transplantation is a very effective method when done properly and the patient’s hair starts to grow again. However, it requires certain care after hair transplantation. For example, in the first few days, it may be necessary not to wash the hair or to avoid extreme temperatures.
As a result, hair transplantation can be an effective solution for people suffering from hair loss. However, before having this procedure, it is important to consult with a specialist and check the experience and references of the person who will perform the procedure.
