Hair transplantation in Turkey..Restore the secret of your beauty

Hair transplantation in Turkey has become an advanced art that embodies a new secret of beauty and hair loss is a challenge that many do not pass without a trace, as this reality casts a shadow on self-confidence and overall appearance and here the role of hair transplant technology in Turkey emerges as a pioneering option, where medical progress and surgical technique combine to create a new method to restore a touch of beauty and youth.

A simple overview of hair transplantation in Turkey

Hair transplantation in Turkey is one of the operations performed by a specialist in plastic or dermatological surgery, as he transfers the hair follicles (also known as hair follicles) to the location of the bald spots and these follicles are extracted from the back of the head or from one of the sides.

This operation is usually performed in the clinic, and local anesthesia is sufficient to complete this procedure, and in most cases there is no need for general anesthesia.

We perform hair transplantation for patients who have tried all treatment methods and have not found any benefit, so they have no choice but to do hair transplantation in Turkey as a final solution to hair loss, however, the condition causing hair loss and the underlying cause must be discussed before undergoing the operation, as the cause may be simple and the treatment may be simple, and therefore there is no need for the exorbitant costs resulting from this operation.

Hair transplant techniques in Turkey

There are many hair transplant techniques in Turkey, so let us get to know them through the following paragraphs:

FUT Follicular Unit Surgery:

In this technique, the surgeon cuts a piece of skin from the back or side of the head, sutures the place from which it was cut, and then the hair follicles are extracted individually and these follicles are then transplanted into the scalp where the bald areas are located, and we usually perform this operation under local anesthesia.

Follicular Unit Extraction FUE:

This method depends on moving the hair follicles from their locations on the skin, and then moving them to areas of the scalp with thin or missing hair and this method of hair transplantation has become more common than the FUT method, as in the FUE method, the surgeon resorts to creating tiny pockets in the skin to extract the hair follicles without leaving a trace of the extraction site.

This method may cause some side effects, including small scars that may form at the site of extraction, and it is also possible for infection or tissue death to occur in the surgical area.

DHl hair transplantation technique in Turkey 

DHI hair transplantation in Turkey is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure designed to restore hair loss and this procedure involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area, followed by transplantation into the area affected by baldness.

What distinguishes the DHI hair transplantation technique in Turkey is the use of a special device, or what is known as a “choi pen,” to plant the follicles directly in the scalp without the need to make any incisions and this approach allows for greater accuracy in graft placement, with the added benefit of reducing the impact on the scalp and thus reducing tumor and healing periods.

The DHI technique relies on a special type of graft, designed to ensure the follicles are properly nourished and survive in their new location and the result is natural-looking hair that will last for many years, making it a unique and effective option for individuals seeking to restore the beauty and thickness of their hair.

Causes of hair loss in general

Hair loss has many and varied causes and this loss may be a symptom of a disease that may affect the body, so let us learn about the causes of hair loss:

Telogen effluvium:

This is considered one of the common causes of hair loss, which occurs two to three months after the body is exposed to severe stress, such as severe illness, major surgery, or severe infection in the body.

This type also occurs due to the hormonal changes that a woman experiences after childbirth, and it is possible for hair to fall out from all parts of the body when exposed to these aforementioned conditions, but it is rare for bald spots to form on the scalp.

Side effect of a medication

Hair loss may be a side effect of some medications, including medications used to treat high blood pressure and blood thinners, as well as chemotherapy medications for cancer patients, which are considered among the most common medications that cause hair loss.

The presence of a medical condition that causes hair loss:

There are many diseases that hide behind hair loss, and these diseases often manifest with other symptoms that accompany hair loss, and these diseases include:

Hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid gland.

An imbalance in sex hormones, such as in polycystic ovary syndrome and women entering menopause.

Nutrition problems and deficiency of nutrients such as iron, zinc, and some types of vitamins such as biotin.

Syphilis, which is considered a sexually transmitted disease.

Tinea capitis:

Ringworm of the head is one of the causes of hair loss that occurs in patches, which is caused by infection with one of the types of fungi and this condition manifests itself in the form of scaly bald spots on the scalp with broken hair on their surface, as treatment of ringworm depends on the administration of antifungals, with a high risk of recurrence.

Alopecia areata:

This condition also causes patchy hair loss, and alopecia areata is considered an autoimmune problem, as the hair follicles are attacked by the immune system, and this condition may develop into generalized hair loss.

Symptoms after hair transplant in Turkey

1. Scarring is the most common side effect of hair transplantation, and this cannot be avoided in any way.
2. Sepsis (infection): This manifestation is uncommon in hair transplant operations.
3. Suppuration and crusting at the surgical site.
4. Pain is a common complication after hair transplant operations in Turkey, and this condition can be managed by taking analgesics such as ibuprofen, cetamol, and tramadol.
5. As for swelling (edema), it usually appears on the third day after surgery, and this swelling gradually spreads on the face, and the person’s position after surgery may have a role in the occurrence of swelling and puffiness and therefore, it is recommended to take the dorsal lying position and avoid lying on the stomach or on one of the sides.
6. Allergies must be taken into consideration for those who experience early swelling of the face, with or without a skin rash, because these symptoms may indicate an allergy in the patient, and the condition may develop into a drop in blood pressure and difficulty breathing, and it is necessary to consult a doctor as soon as possible when going through these symptoms.
7. Itching is also a common phenomenon after a hair transplant in Turkey, and dryness and flaking of the scalp may be a cause of this itching and both washing the head from the third day after surgery and applying the oil topically help relieve this itching.
8. Hair folliculitis: This inflammation occurs in response to follicle transplantation, and physical trauma and chemical irritation may cause this inflammation.

What are the conditions for hair transplantation in Turkey?

1. Actual hair loss in the patient.
2. The presence of areas with good hair density.
3. The scalp is in good condition, and the general health of the body is also good.

Therefore, there are a set of questions that must be asked before undergoing a hair transplant in Turkey, through which we can nominate the patient for the transplant, and they are as follows:

• Is there a specific pattern of hair loss?
• Does the scalp look healthy?
• Is the hair in the area from which we will extract hair of good quantity and quality?
• Is the patient’s hair loss unstable?
• Are there certain medications or skin problems that may affect the success of the operation?

How successful is hair transplantation in Turkey?

If we compare hair loss treatments with each other, hair transplantation in Turkey is the most successful of these treatments compared to other treatments that restore hair growth, but there are several points that must be taken into consideration when evaluating the results of hair transplantation in Turkey, which are as follows:

1. 10 to 80% of the transplanted hair will regain its growth within an estimated period of three to four months.
2. The transplanted hair may thin after the transplantation procedure as usual.
3. It is possible that some people who have undergone transplantation have inactive hair follicles that do not have the ability to produce hair, and this may affect the results of the procedure and make it less effective in restoring hair, but there are some studies that have proven the effectiveness of plasma treatment in restoring the growth of transplanted hair.

Prohibited cases of hair transplantation in Turkey

1. Generalized thinning of the scalp or generalized baldness.
2. Hair loss due to chemotherapy or medications that induce hair loss.
3. Thick scars form on the scalp resulting from exposure to an injury.

In conclusion, hair transplantation in Turkey is not just a medical procedure, but rather a life-transforming experience and thanks to advanced technologies and a specialized medical team, individuals can regain the secret of their beauty and self-confidence.
