Frequently Asked Questions...
What is Hair Transplantation?
Hair transplantation is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia that harvests hair follicles from the nape of the neck, which are not sensitive to hair loss, using specialized surgical techniques and transplants them to areas with baldness.
Who Can Have a Hair Transplant?
Candidates for hair transplantation are male or female, have stable or complete hair loss, and are over 18 years of age, provided they have no underlying medical conditions that prevent standard surgical procedures.
How Long Does a Hair Transplant Procedure Take?
Hair transplant surgery takes 6-8 hours, including all preparation steps and breaks during the procedure.
Is the Hair Transplant Immediately Discharged After the Hair Transplant?
After the procedure, patients are discharged the same day after the necessary checkup.
Do I Need to Come to the Hospital After the Hair Transplant?
It is important to have the first dressing at the hospital one or two days after the hair transplant to assess their overall condition. We perform the initial washing and scab removal procedures. Those who live outside the city and need to leave the city after the procedure can perform the initial washing and scab removal themselves, following the instructions we provide.
Is Hair Transplantation a Painful Procedure?
When assessing pain levels in a clinical setting, the intensity and duration of pain are important. The only stage of a hair transplant procedure where a person feels pain is the local anesthesia phase. A burning sensation may occur during the injection of local anesthetic drugs under the skin, but this disappears within seconds. After local anesthesia, a painless and comfortable patient experience is achieved in the treated area. Those with phobias of needles or surgical procedures can easily undergo a hair transplant with the help of relaxing and sedating medications.
How Many Hair Follicles Can Be Transplanted in a Single Session?
Research shows that the success rate of transplanting 3500 hair follicles in a single session, which takes 6-8 hours, is around 98%. The success rate of the procedure decreases as the number of follicles transplanted increases and the duration of the procedure increases.
Is There Much Pain After a Hair Transplant?
There is usually no pain after a hair transplant, and any pain that does occur can be controlled with simple painkillers.
Can People Who Have Not Completely Lost Their Hair But Have Thin Hair?
In these cases, the decision is made based on age and type of hair loss. While conservative treatment is always the first option, hair transplant surgery may also be preferred in some cases.
Can Failed Hair Transplants Be Corrected?
If a person has a donor area suitable for a second hair transplant, unsuccessful hair transplants can be corrected with good planning.
How Are Eyebrow and Beard Transplants Performed?
As with hair transplants, the Micro-FUE method is often preferred. However, the implant attachments, surgical instruments, hair follicle types, transplant angles, and surgical planning used in eyebrow and beard transplants vary.
