First, after determining how much of the hair has fallen out and how many grafts will be transplanted under a doctor's control, a special pricing process is carried out for the transplantation and the amount individuals will pay for the treatment is determined. In DHI hair transplantation, pricing is also made according to the number of grafts to be transplanted.

After being examined by specialist doctors and the type of hair loss is detected, the first stage starts with a frontal hairline design suitable for the patient's face shape. After the design, if the collected grafts are transplanted according to the exit direction of the hair and at the planned frequency, a natural hair transplant can be performed.

It takes time for the hair growth cycle to return to normal after a hair transplant. The transplanted roots start to come out from under the skin and grow after 3-4 months.

The first year is very important in hair transplantation. The transplanted hair enters the normal growth cycle at the end of the 6th month and achieves a natural appearance at the end of the 10th or 12th month according to the physiological structure of the person.

As in every operation, the body enters an adaptation process to the procedure performed after hair transplantation. Hair loss can be observed between the first 1 – 5 weeks after transplantation. However, this is a temporary situation. The rate of hair loss may vary according to various reasons such as the technique used, the thinness of the person's scalp and the structure of their hair.

The best hair transplant method varies from person to person. The reason for this is that there are different types of hair loss. Hair transplant techniques should be treated with the method most suitable for the patient's type of hair loss.

Men who are at the beginning of their 20s may encounter hair loss problems. Hair loss is seen in 60% of men in their 30s and 30% of men in their 40s.

In FUE hair transplantation, hair follicles in the donor area are taken one by one and it takes place by transplanting them one by one to the area to be transplanted. This technique is carried out with millimetric tools in a seamless and stitchless manner.

The DHI technique is based on the FUE method. Roots are taken, channels are opened and hair transplantation takes place as in the hair transplant procedure performed with the FUE technique. In the DHI hair transplant method, hair roots are taken with a special pen and the roots are transplanted without losing time outside, unlike the FUE method. They are separated from each other because their application styles are different.

In the FUE technique, roots are taken from the donor area without making an incision in the scalp. In this way, the recovery process after the procedure is fast. Since the recovery process is fast, there is no need to wait for a very long time between sessions. The absence of pain and tissue loss of sensation in patients after hair transplantation with the FUE technique is also among the advantages.

Hair roots are collected from the nape part of the people who want to have hair transplanted, that is, from the place we call the donor area, and there is a tissue piece inside these hair roots, this is called graft, greft.

If the patient's donor area is suitable for collecting roots and if the necessary process of at least one year has passed between two hair transplants, a second hair transplant operation can be performed.

The reasons for hair loss seen in women can be genetic as well as seasonal or due to environmental effects in special periods such as pregnancy and menopause. Hair transplant applications can also be performed for women for their hair lost for such reasons.

With the developing technology, innovations have also occurred in hair transplant methods. Thanks to FUE and DHI hair transplant techniques that provide the opportunity for unshaven hair transplant, hair can be easily transplanted into the area desired to be transplanted with hair roots taken from the donor area in women.

The term Mega Session is used only for applications of 4000-4500 grafts or more in a single session. It is the transplantation of high graft numbers for patients whose bald area is quite wide or who want to cover more area with the minimum possible sessions.

The difference between Mesotherapy and PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is the substances used. Mesotherapy is applied with ready-made vitamin cocktails, in PRP, platelets obtained from the person's own blood are used.

It is a treatment method applied in the form of injection into the tissues planned to be treated in the body, which are passed through various processes taken from the patient's own blood. The active substance used in PRP treatment is plasma rich in platelets.

PRP application becomes effective if it is done in 3 or 4 sessions with an interval of 2 weeks. This is expressed as 1 cure. At the end of one year, one or two cures are recommended again.

Depending on where the PRP will be injected, the amount of blood taken can also change. Hair loss treatment is injected into the scalp and the blood to be taken for this procedure is approximately 20 milliliters.

It ensures the revival of cells. When used in hair treatment, it helps the regeneration and regrowth of hair on the scalp.

Hair transplantation is a surgical operation and mild pain may be felt after the application, painkillers can be taken within the doctor's control.

Local anesthesia is applied while the hair transplant operation is being applied, therefore there is no pain during the procedure.

Every season is suitable for the hair transplant operation. However, care after hair transplantation should be given great importance. Since staying under the sun for very long hours or entering the sea is not recommended, summer months are also not very preferred.

It is risky in cases such as consuming alcohol, smoking before the operation and consuming blood thinning drugs such as aspirin. The process needs to proceed in the company of expert doctor consultancy.

Thickening is not the case in existing hair, but the more the number of transplanted grafts is, the more the hair becomes denser and a bushy appearance emerges.

Grafts are collected from the area where healthy hair is located between two ears in the nape region, which we call the donor area. In cases where the donor area is insufficient, it can also be taken from the chest and jaw region, but the first choice is always the nape region.

If the desired density has not been achieved or if the patient is not satisfied with the result, they can have hair transplanted again at least 1 year after the last operation they had.

The formation of edema in the process after the operation and small crustings may occur around the hair roots in the area where the hair is transplanted. Having mild pain and ache during the recovery period are side effects of hair transplantation. These side effects disappear within approximately 15 days.

The age at which hair transplantation is performed is important in this regard. Because androgenetic type hair loss is spread over years. In other words, the hair of a person who has a hair transplant at the age of 30 can fall out until their 50s. But when hair is transplanted to someone whose hair loss has stopped, the solution will be permanent.

After the most suitable transplant technique is determined, local anesthesia is applied to the patient. Grafts are collected from the donor area and these hair follicles are separated from the tissues and made ready for transplantation. After the number of grafts to be transplanted, the direction of the hairs, and the frontal hairline are decided, the hair follicles are placed in the determined bald region.

If the hair taken from the donor region is healthy enough and if the transplant procedure has been successfully carried out, it completely eliminates the baldness problem.

Operation periods vary according to the number of grafts to be transplanted and the hair transplant technique used. We can say that it is a procedure that lasts at most 8 hours with an average value.

Although there is no specific age to have hair transplantation, the vast majority of those who have hair transplantation are in the 25-45 age range. In general, male type hair loss stops after the age of 40 and if hair transplantation is performed at these ages, it can be an ideal choice since hair loss will not be the case later.

A specific time frame is not the case. It is recommended for the person to have it done whenever they feel ready.

Although there is no specific age limit, hair transplantation performed at an early age gives better results. The most important factor in the hair transplant operation is whether the loss in the hair has been completed or not. Especially in male type hair loss, the slowdown in the loss speed starts at the average age of 40. In hair transplantations performed after this period, the baldness problem disappears definitely. In short, hair transplantations performed in the 20 – 65 age range give successful results depending on the suitability of the donor area.

The length of the hair transplant operation depends on factors such as which hair transplant technique is applied and how many graft numbers there are. The procedure period takes place between 6 – 8 hours on average.

There is no specific time frame to carry out the hair transplant operation. However, since being exposed to too much sunlight after the operation and entering the sea or pool is objectionable, hair transplant operation is generally not recommended in the summer months.

There is no objection in cutting one's hair before the hair transplant operation depending on the person's request.

If the person does not want the hair transplant operation to be known, they need a waiting period between 10 to 14 days to ensure the healing of the donor area. If there is no concern about it remaining secret, they can return to work or activities in social life within 4 days after the operation.

Seeing the result of the hair transplant operation takes a time like 1 year. The crusting and healing of the transplanted roots and the emergence of hairs take a process like 3-4 months. Afterwards, the growing of the hairs and being able to see the result completely takes a time like 10-12 months.

In hair transplant procedures, the patient is numbed with local anesthesia, therefore pain is felt at a minimum level or not felt at all.

Before and after the hair transplant operation, it should definitely proceed under doctor control. Regularly used drugs should be reported to the doctor and if a break should be given to the drug in line with expert advice, the drug should be taken.

It is recommended that the first cut after the hair transplant operation should be made approximately 2 months later. To not damage the newly transplanted hair roots, it is more suitable that the cut should be made with scissors instead of a shaving machine.

Thanks to developing new technology and techniques, unshaven hair transplantation can be carried out. With the FUE technique and DHI method, hair roots can be collected from the donor area and transplanted to the desired region without the need for shaving the hair.

The most used and preferred method in hair transplantation is the FUE method. Thanks to this method, any pain or ache is almost never felt.

If carried out by an expert doctor and a team, hair transplantation definitely does not damage nerve cells. If the opened channels are adjusted at the depth they should be, the procedure is completed without damaging the roots or their surroundings while collecting roots from the donor region, thus nerve cells do not see any damage.

If the person wants the hair transplant operation to remain secret, they should wait 10 to 14 days to ensure the healing of the donor area. However, if remaining secret is not a problem, they can return to their work and social life on the 4th day after the operation.

After the hair transplant operation is a very important process. In this process, it is necessary to pay attention even to how the hair is washed and the pillow and quilt slept on. Harmful sun rays and chemical shampoos and care products should be avoided. For any problem that comes to mind after the operation, expert help must be applied for.

The human eye cannot understand the difference between 50%-100% hair frequency, therefore the desired frequency rate should be at least 50% of the natural hair frequency. In hair transplantation, there are factors that affect the density such as the person's hair strand thickness, the health status of the donor area, and even the person's age and gender. In other words, hair transplantation will be performed at a density between 35% – 45% in the first session.

The donor area can be from regions in different parts of the person's own body, but someone else cannot be a donor. The only case where someone else can be a donor is identical twins.

The roots taken from the donor region do not grow, but since they are quite frequent compared to other regions of the scalp, the thinning taken from the donor region will not catch the eye. Roots are taken intermittently and space is not left for it. In other words, the fact that the hairs in the donor area do not come out again will not be evident from the outside in any way.

The type of hair loss differs from person to person. For this reason, hair transplant methods should also be carried out in accordance with the type of loss. But, the FUT technique, which is the oldest of the hair transplant techniques, has remained quite behind. The FUE hair transplant technique is the most preferred method due to its ease and the speed of the recovery process after the operation.

After hair transplantation, PRP treatment support can be given to accelerate the attachment of hair roots and the recovery period. A specific waiting period is not necessary for this procedure, even the PRP-supported FUE method is quite common and gives quite successful results.

After the hair transplant operation, the first wash on the 3rd or 4th day will be carried out at the center where the hair transplantation was performed. After the first wash, you should get information from the specialist doctor about when and how you should wash your hair.

A phase called shock loss is experienced after hair transplantation. In the place where the hair is transplanted, the hair strands on the hair roots fall out temporarily and this shock loss is a process experienced once.

Although the recovery process after the operation varies from person to person, it is generally a process that takes the completely natural hair appearance at the end of 1 year, passing through the stages of crusting, itching, redness and shock loss within 1-2 weeks from the day the transplantation was performed.

Small holes occur in the scalp to collect grafts from the donor area and these holes produce tiny blood clots. These clots and the subsequent crustings cause itching. Itching is a part of the natural process experienced after the operation.

The people who need hair transplantation the most are the people who have been experiencing baldness due to male type hair loss for a long time. Men or women who lost their hair due to reasons such as trauma or burns are also suitable for hair transplantation. People of all genders and ages may want to have a beautiful outer appearance by having hair transplantation.

Minoxidil increases the period in the growth cycle of hair follicles and ensures that the quality of hair also increases by increasing the diameter and length of thin hairs. At the same time, it allows a new anagen cycle to start.

After the hair transplant operation, acne can emerge due to reasons such as the attempt of the transplanted hair roots to come out to the skin surface, the transplant area not being kept clean, the roots not being taken completely and left inside, and the channels being opened very deep.

No scar remains after the operation in a person who had hair transplantation with the FUE technique. After the operation carried out with the FUT technique, a mark remains in the form of a thin line in the donor area on the nape.

In the transplanted regions of the people who had hair transplantation, the hair will continue to grow continuously like our natural hair.

The emergence time of the hair can vary according to person to person. However, generally after the 2nd month, shock loss ends and hair roots start to grow. In the 4th month, hair strands grow and start to take shape, when it comes to the 6th month, hair roots come out between 45 and 80 percent.

With the FUE technique or DHI method, hair transplant operation can be carried out without the person's hair being cut.

In the hair transplant operations in the past years, while the hair roots were taken, the area had to be completely shaved. Patients did not like traveling with half-shaved hair. This problem has been eliminated with the FUE Unshaven Hair Transplantation technique.

In the case that the hair roots in the region we call the donor area on the nape come insufficient or the bald area is wide, hair can be taken from the body. However, since hair transplantation made from body hairs is not in a completely similar structure with the hair root, it is generally preferred for thickening purposes.

In people whose hair loss has almost stopped, it is observed that there are thinned weak hairs instead of complete baldness in certain regions. In such a case, thinned weak hairs can be intensified with the hair transplant procedure and they can be ensured to look more bushy.
