Sapphire Hair Transplant

by asmed | Sep 14, 2023 | Blog

Sapphire hair transplantation is not a new hair transplantation technique, but rather a new technology developed on how to transplant hair grafts. This technology takes its name from the sapphire blades used in the special incision pens used to open the channels and incisions where the hair grafts will be transplanted. The sapphire blades in the special incision pens facilitate the graft transplantation process and allow the surgeon to work more freely.

From this point of view, sapphire hair transplantation can also be called the advanced version of the FUE technique. Because the method of transplanting hair grafts is the same as the FUE technique. Only the tools used are different. Although sapphire incision pens are mostly used in the FUE technique, they can also be used for other hair transplantation techniques. At Quartz Clinique, most of our patients prefer sapphire hair transplantation, which is the last point in hair transplantation technique.

What are the Features of Sapphire Blades?

As their name suggests, sapphire blades are not obtained from blue sapphire rocks found in nature. The sapphire in special incision pens is synthetically obtained from aluminum oxide.  Natural sapphire crystals are so hard and sharp that they are often used to cut metals in industry or the jewelry industry. Synthetic sapphire is equally hard and sharp.

The use of synthetic sapphire for medical purposes offers great advantages. The use of sapphire, especially in instruments used for incision or channel opening, both reduces the possibility of damage to surrounding tissues and ensures that the incisions are very close to perfect.

Advantages of Sapphire Hair Transplantation

Sapphire blades used in sapphire hair transplantation are the medical instruments most demanded by our patients at Quartz Clinique. Because our patients usually come having done their own research on hair transplantation. Naturally, they learn about the positive effects of using sapphire blades in channel opening. The advantages of using sapphire blades in hair transplantation can be listed as following;

• • Sapphire blades are located at the tips of the incision pens with their V-shape and thus they open perfect channels where the grafts will be placed exactly

• • Sapphire-tipped incision pens have a very thin tip. This allows for more dense grafting by making channels at points closer to each other

• • The channels opened with very sharp sapphire tips have very clear edges and therefore do not damage the surrounding tissues at all

• • Since the surrounding tissues are not damaged, the healing process takes place much faster

• • Allows for more intensive hair transplantation, making the hair transplant result look more natural

• • Allows hair transplantation in large areas in many patients with metal allergy

• • Reduces the risk of infection

In addition, hair growth occurs more smoothly as a result of the placement of hair grafts in correctly opened channels. At Quartz Clinique, we open channels with sapphire-tipped incision pens in most hair transplantation techniques because we also care about the aesthetic appearance of our patients.

Is Sapphire Hair Transplant Technique Painful?

No, as in every hair transplantation, local anesthesia is used in the sapphire technique. First the donor area and then the area to be transplanted are numbed before the procedures. Thus, the patient does not feel any pain during the operation.

Quartz Clinique’s expert medical team also includes anesthesiologists and anesthesiologists constantly check the patient’s condition during the operation. However, when injecting for anesthesia, the patient may feel some pain at the injection area. That is why Quartz Clinique uses a new technology and painless anesthesia device. In this way, the patient does not feel the pain of the anesthesia needle and undergoes the operation in an extremely comfortable and relaxed way. Only the area to be treated is numbed by giving the exact dose of anesthesia..Thus, the patient can perform daily activities such as eating, watching television or talking during the operation without any problems.

What should be done after the Sapphire Technique?

In the sapphire technique, no serious damage is caused to the skin as the channels are opened between 1 and 1.5 mm depending on the required areas. As a consequence of this, the healing process takes place quickly. After the operation, you have one more procedure in the clinic. 1-2 days after the operation, the first washing of the hair is performed in the clinic. The first 10 days after the operation are very important for the adaptation of hair grafts. During this period, it is very important that you do not hit your head or rub it. Therefore, it may be recommended to wear easy-to-put-on and take-off clothes such as shirts for the first 10 days.

It is recommended that you do not sweat much and wet your head for the first 15 days after hair transplantation. Because fluid contact with the channels both delays wound healing and increases the risk of infection. In the first 1 to 3 months afterwards, new weak hair strands are shed along with the scabs formed. In the following 6 months, new hair strands begin to show themselves. However, it is necessary to wait 1 to 1.5 years for the final appearance.

At Quartz Clinique, PRP treatment is also performed with the first wash. PRP treatment is a treatment that nourishes the hair follicles and its application in the first stage increases the chance of hair follicles developing in the new skin.

Sapphire Hair Transplant Technique Prices

The price of sapphire hair transplantation is slightly higher compared to the prices of other hair transplantation techniques. Because the tools used in the sapphire hair transplantation technique are more expensive than metal tools. In addition, since sapphire instruments are much sharper and smaller tipped, they can only be used by specialized surgeons. For these reasons, no matter which hair transplantation technique the sapphire technique is used in, it slightly increases the prices of the hair transplant operation.

At Quartz Clinique, we have surgeons specialized in the sapphire technique. Therefore, the sapphire technique can be used in any hair transplant operation requested by the patient and approved by our surgeons. In addition, Quartz Clinique offers all-inclusive packages including airport transfer + RPR treatment + hotel accommodation for patients coming from abroad.

FUT Hair Transplant

by asmed | Sep 13, 2023 | Blog

What is Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) Technique ?

FUT Hair Transplant is a hair transplant technique in which hair follicles are harvested from the donor area (usually the back of the head) and transplanted to the recipient area (usually the front, top, or crown of the head). The follicular units are naturally occurring groupings of one to four hair follicles, and the technique involves removing a strip of skin from the donor area and dissecting it into individual follicular units. The follicular units are then transplanted to the recipient area, where they take root and grow new hair.

FUT is typically performed by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon in a medical setting. The procedure can take several hours to several days, depending on the size of the transplant. It is generally considered to be a safe and effective treatment for hair loss, although it can be associated with some risks and side effects, such as scarring, infection, and pain. Some people may also experience temporary swelling, redness, or itching after the procedure.

Overall, FUT is a popular choice for hair transplantation because it can produce natural-looking results and is relatively straightforward to perform. However, there are alternative hair transplant techniques, such as follicular unit extraction (FUE), that may be more suitable for some people depending on their specific needs and goals.

How FUT Hair Transplant Works ?

FUT Hair Transplant involves several steps:

1. 1. Consultation: The first step is to consult with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who specializes in hair transplantation. The doctor will evaluate your hair loss, determine the cause, and discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure.

1. 1. Preparation: Before the procedure, the doctor will give you instructions on how to prepare, such as avoiding certain medications and stopping smoking. You may also be given a prescription for pain medication.

1. 1. Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the area where the hair will be transplanted. You may also be given a sedative to help you relax.

1. 1. Harvesting: The next step is to harvest the donor hair from the back of the head. The doctor will remove a strip of skin from the donor area and then dissect it into individual follicular units using a microscope.

1. 1. Graft preparation: The follicular units are then prepared for transplantation by placing them into a solution that helps to keep them viable.

1. 1. Transplantation: The follicular units are transplanted to the recipient area, where they are carefully placed in small incisions made by the doctor.

1. 1. Recovery: After the procedure, the transplanted hair will fall out, but new hair should start to grow within a few months. You will need to follow the doctor’s instructions for caring for the transplanted area and avoiding activities that could cause trauma to the hair.

Overall, the goal of FUT is to transplant healthy hair follicles from the donor area to the recipient area, where they will take root and grow new hair. The procedure can be time-consuming, but it is generally considered to be safe and effective for treating hair loss.

How Long Does FUT Hair Transplant Operation Last?

The duration of a FUT Hair Transplant procedure can vary depending on the size of the transplant and the specific technique being used. In general, FUT procedures can take several hours to several days to complete.

The time required for the procedure may be influenced by factors such as the number of follicular units being transplanted, the complexity of the case, and the surgeon’s level of experience. For example, a small FUT procedure involving only a few hundred follicular units may take only a few hours to complete, while a larger procedure involving several thousand follicular units may take several days to complete.

It is important to note that FUT is a surgical procedure that requires careful planning and execution. The surgeon will need to carefully harvest the follicular units from the donor area, prepare them for transplantation, and then carefully place them in the recipient area. This process requires a high level of skill and attention to detail, and it is important that the surgeon takes the necessary time to ensure that the procedure is performed safely and effectively.

What Is The Success Rate Of FUT Hair Transplant?

The success rate of FUT Hair Transplant is generally high, with most people experiencing good to excellent results. However, the success of the procedure can depend on several factors, including the cause of the hair loss, the quality of the donor hair, and the skill of the surgeon.

In general, FUT is considered to be a safe and effective treatment for hair loss, and the majority of people who undergo the procedure experience good results. However, it is important to be aware that the outcome of the procedure may not be the same for everyone, and some people may experience less than optimal results.

Some factors that may influence the success of FUT include:

• • The cause of the hair loss: FUT is most effective for treating male pattern baldness, which is caused by a genetic sensitivity to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). If the cause of the hair loss is something other than DHT, the success of the procedure may be less predictable.

• • The quality of the donor hair: The success of FUT depends on the availability of healthy hair follicles in the donor area. If the donor hair is thin or weak, the transplanted hair may not be as robust as it would be with healthy donor hair.

• • The skill of the surgeon: The success of FUT also depends on the skill and experience of the surgeon. It is important to choose a qualified and experienced hair transplant specialist to maximize the chances of a successful outcome.

It is important to discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure with your surgeon and to understand that the results may not be the same for everyone.

FUT vs. FUE hair transplant

FUT Hair Transplant and follicular unit extraction (FUE) are two techniques that are used for hair transplantation. Both techniques involve removing hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back of the head) and transplanting them to a recipient area (usually the front, top, or crown of the head).

The main difference between FUT and FUE is the way in which the hair follicles are harvested. In FUT, a strip of skin is removed from the donor area and dissected into individual follicular units using a microscope. In FUE, individual hair follicles are extracted directly from the scalp using a specialized punch tool.

Some key differences between FUT and FUE include:

• • Scarring: FUT involves removing a strip of skin from the donor area, which can result in a linear scar. FUE does not leave a linear scar, but it can result in small, circular scars at the site of each hair follicle extraction.

• • Recovery time: FUT typically requires a longer recovery time than FUE, as the strip of skin that is removed must heal.

• • Pain: FUT is typically associated with more pain and discomfort than FUE, as it involves a larger incision.

• • Graft survival: Some studies have suggested that the survival rate of grafts (transplanted hair follicles) may be slightly higher with FUT than with FUE.

Ultimately, the choice between FUT and FUE will depend on the individual’s specific needs and goals, as well as the advice of a qualified hair transplant specialist. Both techniques can produce good results, but FUE may be a better choice for some people due to the reduced scarring and recovery time.

FUT Hair Transplant Side Effects

Follicular unit transplant (FUT)  As with any surgical procedure, FUT carries certain risks and potential side effects.

Some potential side effects of FUT include:

• • Scarring: FUT involves removing a strip of skin from the donor area, which can result in a linear scar. The scar may be noticeable, especially if the hair in the donor area is short.

• • Infection: There is a risk of infection at the site of the incision or at the transplanted hair follicles.

• • Pain: FUT can be associated with pain and discomfort, especially in the days immediately following the procedure. Pain medication may be prescribed to manage discomfort.

• • Swelling: Swelling is common after FUT and may last for several days.

• • Redness: The transplanted area may be red and inflamed for a few days after the procedure.

• • Itching: Itching is a common side effect of FUT and may persist for several weeks after the procedure.

To minimize the risk of complications, it is important to follow the instructions provided by the surgeon, including instructions for caring for the transplanted area and avoiding activities that could cause trauma to the hair. It is also important to seek medical attention if any unusual symptoms or complications arise.

What is the FUT Hair Transplant Price?

The price of follicular unit transplant (FUT) surgery varies depending on the patient’s current hair condition, the amount of transplant needed, the number of sessions required, the doctor’s experience, and the quality of the clinic. In addition, it is not legal for Health Ministry-approved centers to specify prices on their websites. Therefore, patients who are struggling with hair loss due to genetic factors and want to find a solution to this problem at an early stage can call our clinic at 02122414624 for detailed information and an appointment.

DHI Hair Transplant

by asmed | Sep 13, 2023 | Blog

DHI Hair Transplant, is a hair transplantation technique performed by transferring hair grafts taken from the donor area directly to the transplant area. In this technique, there is no need to open any canal or incision in the problematic area. Therefore, it does not cause bleeding and a wound appearance, even in the form of a point.

DHI technique is a technique frequently preferred and searched by patients who especially care about the aesthetic appearance of hair. In the DHI technique, only the donor area and the area to be transplanted are shaved. In other words, a hairy area is left on the head. Since the entire scalp is shaved in other techniques, the DHI technique is also called “unshaven hair transplantation”

The reason for shaving the hair before hair transplantation is that it creates a favorable environment for bacteria formation due to its structure. Shaving the hair reduces the risk of infection and the surgeons can perform their work in a more comfortable environment. Also in DHI technique more surgeons can work at the same time. While only 2 surgeons can operate as a team in FUE technique, 3 and more than 3 surgeons can perform the operation at the same time in DHI technique. Thus, more work can be done in the operation in a less time.

How is DHI Hair Transplant Operation Performed?

DHI hair transplantation operation is relatively easier than other hair transplantation techniques. However, the DHI technique is similar to the FUE technique in terms of harvesting hair grafts.

The micro motor used in the Micro FUE technique is also used in the DHI technique to harvest hair grafts. The harvested grafts are then placed into the implanter pen. The transplantation is performed by sliding the hair graft without any prior incision or channel opening in the area to be transplanted. Of course, since these procedures are performed under local anesthesia, the patient does not feel any pain.This transfer process is done with a special transplant pen called Choi implanter without the need for any incision or canal.

These special pens are empty inside and contain a special spring mechanism. In this way, the tip of the pen enters the scalp while the hair grafts are inside and the surgeon activates the spring mechanism to slide the hair graft into the scalp. Thus, hair transplantation is performed with a minimally invasive procedure.

In our Quartz Clinique hair transplant center, only surgeons and healthcare professionals specialized in hair transplantation are employed. Hundreds of patients from Turkey and abroad prefer us every year, trusting our surgeons’ knowledge and our expert team.

Who can DHI Hair Transplant Technique be performed on?

DHI technique can be performed on all people who need hair transplantation. However, after a consultation with your surgeon, it can be decided whether this technique is suitable for you. Among the reasons why this technique cannot be performed for you may be that the patient’s hair is too thin or the patient’s hair density is too low. According to scientific data, hair transplantation procedures are more successful in patients with thicker and higher hair density.

What are the Advantages of DHI Technique?

The biggest advantage of the DHI technique is that there is no shaving before the procedure. This allows the patient to continue his/her life without disturbing his/her aesthetic appearance. So much so that if the patient uses long hair, he/she can easily hide the transplanted areas. Since there is no opening of any canal or incision, there will naturally be less bleeding in the transplanted area. Therefore, the redness in the transplanted area will heal faster.

Another advantage may be that the hair follicles have a better chance of survival. Because in this technique, the hair grafts are kept in the special solution for a shorter period of time than in other techniques and come into contact with less air. In addition, the DHI technique gives your surgeon more freedom in a sense. Because in this technique, there is no incision or channel in which the hair graft can be placed, the surgeon can place the hair graft at any angle and in any way he wants. In this way, the result of hair transplantation can be closer to your dream look depending on your surgeon.

At Quartz Clinique, we have surgeons specialized in hair transplantation. In addition to their expertise, our surgeons have worked in many clinics, including abroad, and have gained experience in this field. Therefore, our surgeons also care about the aesthetic perceptions of our patients and the results of hair transplantation with DHI technique are always as our patients’ dreams.

What are the Disadvantages of the DHI Technique?

The disadvantage of the DHI technique may be that it works in smaller areas compared to other techniques. In other words, fewer hair grafts can be transported in the DHI technique. Therefore, the DHI technique is generally preferred in smaller and specific areas. In addition, since it has a smaller working area, the DHI technique, which is applied by inexperienced surgeons, can also be considered a disadvantage that other hair follicles can be damaged while collecting hair grafts with Choi implanter.

Since the number of procedure steps is reduced to 2 in the DHI technique, it is a relatively more expensive technique. Although the number of steps is reduced in the DHI technique, the number of teams working in the operation may increase and therefore a more intensive effort may be performed. This may be considered as a disadvantage for some patients as it will increase the price. Since it works on a smaller and more specific area, fewer grafts are collected and transplanted in one session compared to other techniques. Therefore, more than one session is usually required. The fact that patients have to constantly come to the clinic may be considered as a disadvantage by some of our patients.

What is the Recovery Time of DHI Hair Transplantation?

A relatively easy recovery process takes place after DHI hair transplantation. The first 1-2 weeks after the operation is the most intense period of recovery. During this process, the first washing and care of the hair is performed at Quartz Clinique one or two days after the operation. During this care, the condition of the hair follicles is also checked.

Within 10 to 15 days after the operation, new weak hair strands and scabs may shed. This is an expected situation and should not be worried. In the following 3 to 6 months, the hair follicles strengthen in their new places and new hair begins to grow. However, it may still be necessary to wait up to 1 year to see the final result.

What are the Prices of DHI Technique?

The price of the DHI technique may vary according to the number of grafts to be taken and the number of sessions required.  However, since the prices of the Choi instruments used are also included in this technique, the DHI technique is relatively the highest-priced hair transplant technique.

Quartz Clinique is a clinic accredited by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Turkey. Therefore, you will not encounter any deficiencies neither during care nor during the operation. The all-inclusive packages we offer to our patients coming from abroad are very preferred. Because our all-inclusive packages include 4 or 5 star hotel accommodation, airport transfer service and full care treatments according to the preferences of our patients.

Beard Transplant

by asmed | Sep 13, 2023 | Blog

Beards  have played an important role in many cultures throughout history, and for many men, a beard is an important part of their personal style and identity. Beards can be a symbol of masculinity, wisdom, and authority, and they have often been associated with power and strength.

For some men, growing a beard can also be a form of self-expression and a way to differentiate themselves from others. A beard can be a unique and personal feature that helps a man stand out and feel more confident in his appearance.

Overall, the importance of a beard can vary from person to person, but for many men, a beard is an important part of their identity and personal style.

What is Beard Transplant

A beard transplant is a surgical procedure that involves transplanting hair follicles to the face to create or restore a beard. The procedure is typically performed using the follicular unit extraction (FUE) method, in which individual hair follicles are harvested from a donor area (such as the back of the head) and then transplanted to the recipient site (the beard area).

Beard transplants are typically performed to restore a beard that has thinned or been lost due to genetic factors, aging, or medical conditions such as alopecia. The procedure can also be used to fill in areas of the beard that are patchy or uneven, or to create a beard in people who have difficulty growing one naturally.

The success rate of beard transplants is generally high, and the results can be very natural-looking. However, it’s important to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon to ensure the best possible results. It’s also important to have realistic expectations and to understand that the results may vary from person to person.

How long does it take to recover from Beard Transplant?

Recovery time after a beard transplant can vary from person to person. On average, it takes about two weeks for the transplanted hairs to fall out and for the healing process to be complete. However, it can take up to a few months for the transplanted hairs to fully grow in and for the beard to fully mature.

During the first few days after the procedure, it is common to experience swelling, redness, and some discomfort. You may be prescribed pain medication to help manage any discomfort. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions for care after the procedure, including keeping the transplanted area clean and avoiding strenuous activity or exposing the area to direct sunlight.

After about two weeks, the transplanted hairs will start to shed, and new hair growth will begin to appear. It can take several months for the new beard hair to fully grow in and reach its full length. In the meantime, you may notice some unevenness in the thickness and length of the beard as it grows in.

Overall, the recovery process after a beard transplant can take some time, but with proper care and patience, you should be able to achieve the desired results.

Which techniques are used for Beard Transplantation?

There are two main techniques that are commonly used for beard transplantation: the follicular unit transplantation (FUT) technique and the follicular unit extraction (FUE) technique.

The FUT technique involves removing a strip of skin from the back of the head and dissecting it into individual hair follicles, which are then transplanted into the beard area. This technique can be more invasive and may result in a linear scar on the back of the head.

The FUE technique involves removing individual hair follicles from the back of the head one at a time using a small punch tool. The follicles are then transplanted into the beard area. This technique is less invasive and does not result in a linear scar on the back of the head. However, it is a more time-consuming process and may require a longer recovery period.

Both techniques are considered to be safe and effective when performed by a qualified and experienced surgeon. The best technique for you will depend on your specific needs and goals, as well as the advice of your surgeon.

How is a Beard Transplant Done?

A beard transplant is a surgical procedure that involves transplanting hair follicles from one area of the body (such as the back of the head) to the beard area. The procedure is typically performed by a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist who has experience with hair transplantation procedures.

Here is a general overview of how a beard transplant is typically done:

Consultation: During a consultation with the surgeon, you will discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure, as well as any medical conditions or medications that may affect the procedure. The surgeon will also examine your beard area and scalp to determine the best approach for the procedure.

Preparation: Before the procedure, you may be asked to stop taking certain medications, such as blood thinners or herbal supplements, that could interfere with the procedure. You may also be given instructions on how to care for your beard and scalp in the weeks leading up to the procedure.

Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, which numbs the area being treated. You may also be given a sedative to help you relax.

Hair harvesting: The surgeon will remove hair follicles from an area of the scalp where the hair is thicker and more likely to remain permanent (such as the back of the head). The hair follicles are removed using either the follicular unit transplantation (FUT) technique or the follicular unit extraction (FUE) technique.

Transplantation: The surgeon will create small incisions in the beard area and carefully transplant the hair follicles into the incisions. The surgeon will take care to ensure that the transplanted hairs are placed in a natural-looking direction and pattern.

Recovery: After the procedure, you will be given instructions on how to care for the transplanted area, including how to keep it clean and how to manage any swelling or discomfort. It is important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure proper healing and optimal results.

Overall, a beard transplant is a relatively straightforward procedure that is typically performed on an outpatient basis. The procedure takes several hours to complete, depending on the extent of the transplant.

What is a beard transplant benefit?

A beard transplant can benefit people who are unhappy with the thickness or shape of their beard or who have patchy or thinning areas in their beard. The procedure can help to increase the density and fullness of the beard, giving it a more natural and youthful appearance.

In addition to improving the appearance of the beard, a beard transplant can also boost self-confidence and self-esteem. Many people feel that a well-groomed beard is an important part of their personal style and identity, and a beard transplant can help them feel more comfortable and confident in their appearance.

There are also some potential health benefits to having a beard transplant. For example, a full, thick beard can provide some protection from the sun’s UV rays, which can help to reduce the risk of skin cancer. A beard can also help to keep the skin moisturized and hydrated, which can help to reduce the risk of dry, flaky skin.

Overall, a beard transplant can be a beneficial procedure for people who are looking to improve the appearance and density of their beard and who want to feel more confident in their appearance.

Energy Drinks Cause Hair Loss?

by asmed | Jun 24, 2023 | Blog

Energy Drinks Cause Hair Loss? Energy drinks have gained significant popularity among individuals seeking an immediate surge of energy.  However, there has been some concern that energy drinks may cause hair loss.

There is some evidence to suggest that energy drinks may be linked to hair loss. A study published in the journal Nutrients found that men who consumed more than one sweetened drink each day were at a 42% greater risk of experiencing hair loss. The study also found that the risk of hair loss was increased even when the sweetened drinks did not contain caffeine.

It is not clear why energy drinks might cause hair loss. One theory is that the high levels of sugar in energy drinks can lead to inflammation, which can damage hair follicles. Another theory is that the caffeine in energy drinks can disrupt the body’s natural sleep cycle, which can also lead to hair loss.

It is important to note that the study linking energy drinks to hair loss was observational, which means that it cannot prove that energy drinks caused the hair loss. It is possible that there are other factors that explain the link between energy drinks and hair loss.

More research is needed to determine whether or not energy drinks can actually cause hair loss. However, if you are concerned about your hair loss, it is a good idea to limit your intake of energy drinks.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text woodmart_inline=”no” text_larger=”no”]Here are some other things you can do to prevent hair loss:

Stem Cell Hair Transplant

by asmed | Jun 23, 2023 | Blog

Welcome to our comprehensive guide to stem cell hair transplant, the revolutionary procedure that holds immense promise for individuals seeking effective and long-lasting hair restoration solutions. In this article, we will delve into the fascinating world of stem cell technology and its potential to transform the field of hair transplantation. With in-depth explanations, scientific insights, and a focus on the latest advancements, we aim to provide you with an authoritative resource that surpasses existing information on the subject.

Stem cell hair transplant represents a groundbreaking approach to hair restoration, surpassing traditional methods in its ability to stimulate hair growth and combat hair loss. Unlike conventional hair transplants that rely on the extraction and transplantation of a limited number of hair follicles, stem cell hair transplant involves the utilization of stem cells derived from a small skin sample. These stem cells are then replicated in a laboratory setting and subsequently implanted back into the scalp, facilitating the growth of new hair in both the donor area and the areas experiencing hair loss.

The stem cell hair transplant procedure begins with a punch biopsy, a minimally invasive technique used to extract stem cells from the patient.This involves using a specialized instrument with a circular blade that is rotated into the skin to remove a cylindrical sample of tissue. Subsequently, the stem cells are separated from the tissue using a centrifuge, resulting in a cell suspension that is then injected back into the scalp in the areas affected by hair loss.

It’s important to note that while stem cell hair transplants have been successfully performed in research settings, they are currently only available in a limited capacity and are considered investigational procedures. As with any medical treatment, it is crucial to choose reputable clinics that adhere to FDA-approved protocols and guidelines to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Stem cell-based treatments for hair loss, including stem cell hair transplant, have generally been regarded as safe when performed by qualified medical professionals and in adherence to established protocols. One significant advantage of using stem cells for hair restoration is that they are typically derived from the patient’s own body, known as autologous stem cells. This significantly reduces the risk of rejection or adverse reactions since the cells are compatible with the patient’s own immune system. By using autologous stem cells, the potential for transmitting diseases or complications from donor sources is also eliminated.

However, it is essential to note that like any medical procedure, there may be potential risks and side effects associated with stem cell-based hair treatments. These can include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, or discomfort at the injection sites. In rare cases, there may be a risk of infection or allergic reactions. To ensure safety, it is crucial to undergo stem cell hair treatments under the supervision of a qualified and experienced medical professional who follows appropriate protocols and guidelines. They will assess your individual case, provide personalized recommendations, and closely monitor your progress during and after the procedure to mitigate any potential risks.

It is also important to consult with your healthcare provider and discuss your medical history, any pre-existing conditions, or medications you may be taking to ensure that stem cell-based treatments are suitable and safe for you. Continued research and clinical studies are being conducted to further evaluate the safety and efficacy of stem cell-based hair restoration techniques.

Ensuring Safety in Stem Cell Hair Transplant Procedures: Risks and Considerations

While stem cell hair transplants offer significant potential, it is important to be aware of the associated risks and safety considerations. Like any medical procedure, there is a small risk of bleeding, infection, and scarring at the site of the sample and injection. 

The involvement of punch biopsy procedures, which may be necessary, carries its own inherent risks.

By staying informed about the risks involved, individuals can make well-informed decisions regarding stem cell hair transplants. It is always recommended to have a thorough discussion with a medical professional who can explain the procedure, address any concerns, and assess individual suitability for the treatment. This personalized approach helps minimize potential risks and maximize the chances of a successful outcome.

Furthermore, ensuring the safety of stem cell hair transplant procedures requires adherence to strict protocols and standards. Qualified medical facilities should maintain a sterile environment and follow appropriate infection control measures. The use of properly sourced and processed stem cells is of utmost importance to reduce the risk of complications.

Stem Cell Hair Transplant Procedure: Current Status and Future Prospects

Removing Scabs After Hair Transplant Surgery

by asmed | Jun 13, 2023 | Blog

Removing scabs after hair transplant surgery is a crucial step in the healing process. These scabs, also known as crusts, form as part of the body’s natural response to the surgical procedure. While they play a protective role initially, it’s important to gently remove them at the right time to promote proper healing and prevent any potential complications. Proper scab removal techniques involve patience and care to avoid causing any damage to the newly transplanted hair follicles. Let’s explore some effective methods and tips for safely removing scabs after hair transplant surgery.

Hair transplantation is an intriguing procedure, so it makes sense to want to hasten the healing time. Because of this, a lot of patients naturally want to know how to handle scabs from hair transplants after they have them. Getting thorough instructions on how to care for your scalp after a hair transplant will help you recover quickly and achieve results that look natural.

The body’s natural process of scab development. It acts as a defense mechanism against open sores on the skin. particularly following a hair restoration procedure that necessitates a number of tiny incisions. These elements encourage bleeding, which helps to produce crusts. After a thorough wash, scabs that develop after a hair transplant are normal and will vanish.

When Will You Be Able To See The The Importance of Removing Scabs After Hair Transplant Surgery?

It’s imperative not to pick the scabs, even though they might be itchy like any lesion that is healing. The newly implanted grafts are extremely delicate during these crucial first few days, and any contact with them could cause them to become loose or become damaged. This could result in empty patches on the scalp, endangering the success of the procedure.

Your recipient area shouldn’t be touched. It’s best if you refrain from smoking and drinking for at least three days following the procedure in order for your scabs to heal as quickly as possible. Additionally, prolonged standing or sitting is not advised.

Your grafts should be stable, and to help the crusts and scabs come off, you can typically bathe and moisturize your hair. After two weeks, the scalp should be free of scabs.  Scabs are a common side effect of the post-hair transplant healing process and are only a temporary condition. You can gently massage your scalp. 

The follicles must be adequately supplied with blood flow and securely attached to your scalp. The scabs won’t need to be removed; once they’ve dried, they’ll fall off on their own. When receiving a massage, it’s crucial to keep your scabs undisturbed. Picking at the scabs could dislodge the grafts even though they are already in place, which would prolong the healing process.

What Causes Scabs After Hair Transplant?

Depending on the number of grafts needed and the patient’s skin condition, skilled surgeons use specialized blades. At this point, the amount and type of new hair growth are determined. Scabbing frequently develops in the recipient area the day after surgery. Although this should be minor and disappear in a few days, you might also experience some redness and swelling in your scalp.

After a hair transplant, scabs start to form around the third day following the procedure. That indicates that your wounds are healing properly and that the transplanted hair has the proper protection to remain in place and promote the growth of new hair.

But that doesn’t make them attractive to look at. Although we fully comprehend, you must still be patient and respect the process. You must also be aware of how to handle them.

How To Treat Scabs After Hair Transplant?

The last thing you should do is to pick or scratch those crusts, despite your urge to do so. You might dislodge the grafts and alter your appearance negatively, necessitating a further procedure.

You should treat those crusts until they begin to fall off independently rather than remove them with force. It all comes down to properly washing your hair. Your surgeon will instruct you on how to wash your hair and give you a special lotion and shampoo.

Apply lotion and shampoo gently when you start doing it about 2-3 days after the procedure, and then rinse it with small cups of warm water. Scabs gradually fall off in this manner, allowing your skin to breathe and opening up your pores.

Shampooing After Hair Transplant

The scabs must be removed ten days after the procedure if the hair transplant is to be successful. In fact, if the scabs are left on after the procedure, the grafts implanted underneath may be unable to breathe, which may hinder regrowth. It is advised to consult your surgeon as soon as possible if the hair transplant scabs continue after that. Also keep in mind that using tobacco and alcohol increases the chance of scalp bleeding, which can hinder the healing process.

After undergoing a hair transplant surgery, the first hair wash plays a vital role in the healing process. It is crucial to use a pH5 shampoo and a crust-removing foam during this initial wash. The foam should be gently applied to the recipient area of the scalp, and it is recommended to let it sit for approximately 30 minutes to soften the scabs. To remove the scabs, take care not to use your fingernails. This step is essential for a successful recovery and optimal hair growth.

Do’s And Don’ts After Hair Transplant To Get Rid Of Scabs

The good news is that they naturally disappear after a week or two. However, you can easily get rid of scabs and crusts using shampoo if they persist even after two weeks. It is best to see a doctor if you notice that these crusts and scabs are not vanishing on their own. Please refrain from attempting homemade remedies because they can infect you.

Do not itch your scalp. Some people mistakenly believe that they can remove the scabs by pulling or plucking.  Don’t touch the scalp or the grafts that have been implanted. The grafts may become loose or break if you touch them. Spray your scalp with an ordinary saline solution five days after the operation.

If your physician advises, soak the heads in the bathtub. Use baby oil while soaking and use lukewarm water. Spend at least 45 minutes soaking to lessen scabbing. Massage significantly reduces scabbing and aids in the necessary healing. Because these scabs are firmly attached to the transplanted hair, exercise caution when massaging. Therefore, if nails are used to remove the scabs, the grafts will also come loose.

When Will Scabs Fall After Hair Transplant?

The majority of hair transplant scabs are still on your scalp ten days after the procedure. You can safely remove the hair transplant crust scab on that day or a few days later by gently massaging your scalp as you use your lotion and shampoo.

You can arrange a follow-up appointment with your doctor to have them perform it if you feel uncomfortable doing it yourself. Most medical professionals will advise you to schedule a visit 10–12 days after the procedure in order to remove any remaining scabs and give your skin time to heal.

How To Remove Edema After Hair Transplant?

by asmed | Jun 12, 2023 | Blog

How To Remove Edema After Hair Transplant? Almost all patients undergoing hair restoration surgery encounter some hair transplant side effects, whether they be complications like infection or soreness and scabbing after a hair transplant. Since hair transplants are typically very safe, serious complications are extremely uncommon.

Post-transplant swelling from hair transplants is one of the most frequent adverse effects of the procedure, occurring in about 50% of patients. A few days after hair transplantation, swelling around the eyes and forehead is possible. Despite the potential for visual discomfort, the swelling is not harmful to the person’s health. It will correct itself within a few days. However, there are ways to stop and lessen swelling after a hair transplant. 

What Causes Edema After Hair Transplant?

Internally and externally, swelling describes the body part’s unusual region expansion. It can happen as a result of swelling or too much fluid in the body. The body responds to trauma of any kind in this way. Surgical wounds can also result in infection and edema. Anesthesia, which results from too much fluid being injected into the head before the hair transplant procedure, is another potential factor. Aside from surgery itself, medications given during surgery may also cause swelling. To ease pain, hair transplant surgeons administer local anesthetic to the scalp. After surgery, as this anesthetic drains away, it may cause facial and forehead swelling.

Swelling can also frequently be caused by inflammation. Your blood vessels near an injury enlarge to allow more red and white blood cells to travel there, preventing infection and accelerating healing. The area may be red and puffy in the short term, but it helps your hair transplant heal more quickly.

It is not surprising that swelling affects so many patients who have had hair transplants because it is a very common side effect of any kind of surgery. Elements like loose skin, patient age, and the length of the procedure can also cause excessive swelling.

Is Edema After Hair Transplant A Sign For Botched Hair Transplant?

Edema is rarely harmful after a hair transplant. After a few days, it usually goes away without any aftereffects. However, there are some situations where swelling can be problematic.

Driving and operating heavy machinery is dangerous for you and other people if you are unable to open your eyes due to swelling. Stay away from these activities until the swelling subsides and your vision returns to normal.

A hair transplant infection may also be indicated by persistent or excessive swelling, particularly if it is accompanied by pus, pain, or itching. If the swelling lasts longer than two to three weeks, contact your consultant.

Ahead of time, be sure to let your surgeon know if you’ve ever had anaphylaxis. Inflammation and excessive swelling can both cause hair loss in the donor area. Donor effluvium is typically only temporary, and your hair will begin to grow back within a few weeks, even though this can be upsetting.

How Common Is Edema After Hair Transplant?

One of the most frequent side effects of both FUE and FUT hair transplantation is swelling. Using steroids helped the remaining 45% of patients avoid swelling, which occurred in 55% of them. According to additional research, 42% of patients who underwent hair transplant surgery experienced post-operative edema, the most frequent adverse effect.

Therefore, it’s a coin toss as to whether you’ll develop swelling if you don’t take any preventative measures. Even if you do, swelling is typically mild, so by the time you return to work, most inflammation ought to have subsided.

However, there are ways to stop swelling after a hair transplant. There are a variety of suggestions for preventing swelling after a hair transplant, from frozen peas to steroid injections.

Ways To Remove Edema After Hair Transplant

You experienced swelling in your forehead a few days after your hair transplant. Additionally, this may affect your eyes, resulting in puffiness around this region of your face. You can do a few things to lessen the effects of forehead swelling following a hair transplant. 

Applying a cold compress can help reduce swelling after a hair transplant. Helping to constrict the blood vessels, this will lessen the likelihood of eye puffiness brought on by post-hair transplant forehead swelling.

Additional non-steroidal techniques for reducing swelling include:

• Using a headband or adhesive tape to cover the forehead can stop excess fluid from seeping into the cheek and eye tissue.
• Applying ice packs will cause dilated blood vessels to constrict, which will lessen inflammation.
• Elevating your head while you sleep will encourage extra fluid to drain away more quickly, reducing swelling.

Although these treatments are typically less effective than steroids, some patients may experience symptom improvement.

The best way to encourage healing and minimize swelling after a hair transplant is to adhere to your surgeon’s aftercare instructions.

Take your medication as directed. Your doctor may have prescribed steroid tablets for you to take following surgery. learn more about the drugs used for hair transplants

Drink a lot of water before, during, and after surgery because dehydration and a lack of fluids can cause inflammation to worsen. Sleep with your head raised at a 45-degree angle to promote fluid drainage and prevent your hair grafts from falling out while you’re asleep.

Ibuprofen should be avoided because it can cause water retention and worsen the swelling in the area around the forehead. Instead, manage any pain with paracetamol. 

Avoid Exercising And Sweating

Exercise should be avoided for the first three days following your procedure to minimize head swelling. Exercise-induced sweating can affect your follicles, causing swelling after a hair transplant, the possibility of blood clots forming, or even an infection.

Change Sleeping Position

After receiving a hair transplant, you should try to sleep with your head elevated to lessen swelling. Sleeping on your back with a pillow under your head will help lessen swelling following a hair transplant. If you want the best chance of reducing swelling after a hair transplant, try to maintain a 45-degree angle on your head.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking enough water is crucial after hair transplant surgery. This is because water helps to clean the liquids that are injected into the application region during the procedure. The patient is advised to drink plenty of water to help with swelling reduction. Water consumption above 2-3 liters per day can hasten the healing process. Water is essential in such procedures because it speeds up the lymphatic system’s removal of fluids.

Use a gentle sweeping motion from the center of the forehead to the side to press the liquids under the skin. During this time, avoid pulling on the skin.

What Should You Do If Edema Isn’t Going Away After Hair Transplant?

Since you underwent surgery, it is probable that there will be some level of inflammation following the procedure.The skin tissue in the scalp will swell and feel tight due to the inflammation. Sometimes, this can descend the forehead and affect the eyes. In significant hair transplant cases, swelling may occasionally last a little longer than 7–10 days or may even begin to impair your vision. Now is the time to contact your hair transplant surgeon. They will be able to offer guidance on how to handle the side effects the best. Rest assured that this side effect ought to go away.

To ease any discomfort that may develop during hair transplantation and to hasten the healing process, the doctor will prescribe specific medications. A factor influencing the efficacy of treatment, in addition to therapy, is strict adherence to post-procedure recommendations. On the other hand, aspirin and other blood thinners should not be used for longer than one week as they may cause blood thinning and edema.

A common but minor side effect of hair transplantation is swelling, which goes away on its own in a few days. However, in some cases, the swelling gets worse and may last for a very long time. In this case, it is important to take the doctor’s advice regarding treatment.

Scalp Necrosis After Hair Transplant

by asmed | Jun 9, 2023 | Blog

Scalp Necrosis After Hair Transplant: Every surgery has its risks and side effects. One rare but serious complication that can occur after a hair transplant surgery is scalp necrosis. It is important to be aware of the symptoms of scalp necrosis as early intervention can help minimize the affected area and mitigate further damage to the surgical results.

For a timely intervention, knowledge of the situation’s causes and how to comprehend them will be helpful. Although hair transplantation may appear to be a straightforward surgical procedure, it actually has a very complicated and complex structure. Following the procedure, there could be some complications. In this post, we’ll dive into the details of scalp necrosis, what causes it, and how to treat it, so read on to find out everything you need to know about it.

What Is Necrosis?

Necrosis is the permanent destruction of tissue. Unlike necrobiosis, it is not genetically predetermined and instead happens prematurely and by accident. It may happen for a variety of reasons. Frostbite is one kind of necrosis that many people are familiar with. Blood vessels tighten, the water in the skin freezes, and the blood and oxygen supply to the body’s cells are cut off. The tissue cells stop functioning as a result of this.

The cell first swells, and then it bursts, letting its contents spill out into the tissue around it. The body then reacts by going into inflammatory mode. An autoimmune disorder can also cause this. Sadly, necrosis cannot be reversed, so the surgeon must remove the skin. Necrotic tissue will have a black, leathery, and possibly loose appearance.

How To Diagnose Scalp Necrosis After Hair Transplant?

A patient’s head developing scabs is a sign that they are healing. On the scalp, these will appear as tiny brown dots. They’ll eventually disappear after washing.

The size of necrotic tissue, however, can be as large as your palm. Additionally, the discolored skin typically has a leathery texture and a tan, dark brown, or black color. Pain is one of the warning signs and symptoms of scalp necrosis following a hair transplant. You’ll initially experience pain. It’s usually quite intense.

When a heart attack happens as a result of a blood vessel blockage, the person seeks medical attention right away because of the pain. That is a result of inadequate oxygen and nutrient delivery to the heart tissue. So, you should contact your surgeon right away if you experience scalp pain. Following that, the skin may also turn red, swell, turn discolored, and become numb.

What Causes Scalp Necrosis After Hair Transplant?

Necrosis occurs after a hair restoration procedure due to the loss of skin cells and structures beneath the head. Necrosis, which leaves a scar and renders the area hairless, is considered by experts to be one of the hair transplant’s most serious side effects.

 Doctors may over-implant a larger proportion of hair follicle grafts in a small area to produce a high thickness of hair when they want to achieve the best result in a short period of time. However, the opposite happens in practice. Blood flow is impeded and the amount of oxygen needed to nourish the hair transplants is decreased when many hair roots are crammed into a small area.

Close Transplant Of Hair Grafts

After a hair transplant, almost all patients want to have a lot of hair, but it’s not always practical or wise to do so. The surgeon should explain to the patient the potential density of the procedure.

However, some inexperienced surgeons don’t, whether or not they are aware of the harm it could do to the patient. The surgeon will need to make a lot of tiny incisions in order to try to pack hair grafts densely in the balding area.

Due to the harm done to the skin, it takes on the appearance of a large wound with numerous small cuts close together. The tissue will be irreparably damaged and the blood supply to the area will be obstructed.

Remember that scalp necrosis is a lifelong condition. There won’t be any hair growth there, not even from implanting new hair follicles. It will irreparably harm the outcomes of a hair transplant. To enable wound healing, the tissue must be excised by the surgeon.

Deep Incisions

Again, the surgeon’s inexperience in this instance leads to the development of scalp necrosis following a hair transplant.

When a surgeon is unable to properly close the wound site, a similar issue arises. Additionally, this could result in less blood flow to the area, which would lead to necrosis around the surgical wound. Healing will take longer as a result. 

Smoking

Smoking cessation is advised for patients both before and following surgery. This is because the substances in smoke have the potential to narrow blood vessels. The surgical wound’s access to oxygen and nutrients will be restricted as a result. You will consequently develop scalp necrosis.

Trauma

Trauma to the scalp results from the removal of hair grafts from the donor area. After follicular unit extraction hair transplant, it caused cicatricial alopecia and donor-site scalp necrosis.

The center of the scalp typically experiences scalp necrosis because there is less blood flow there than in other parts of the scalp. Additionally, androgenetic alopecia patients have reduced vascularization, the process of blood vessel formation. They now run the added risk of developing scalp necrosis. Mega-sessions for hair transplantation can also raise your risk of developing scalp necrosis.

How To Treat Scalp Necrosis?

A surgeon or other specialist with extensive knowledge in this field should only perform hair transplant surgery because anything less could go wrong and leave patients with limited recovery options. Necrosis, which affects 5% of patients who undergo hair restoration surgery, is brought on by the loss of skin structures and cells beneath the scalp. Necrosis, as previously stated, is a terrifying situation that can be avoided if you select a skilled surgeon and take every precaution to keep your scalp clean.

If you examine the causes, you will see that the patient or the surgeon is ultimately responsible. To avoid scalp necrosis following a hair transplant, make sure to follow these steps.

After a hair transplant, poor surgical technique and inexperienced surgeons are the main causes of scalp necrosis. Find a surgeon who communicates realistic expectations to you and doesn’t make false claims. A skilled surgeon won’t attempt to achieve an unnaturally high density through dense hair transplantation or risk damaging the underlying major blood vessels.

Following a hair transplant, you must abstain from drinking and smoking for at least 10 days because they will affect your blood circulation and result in skin necrosis. To reduce the risk of infection in your scalp, you must make sure the surgical wound is clean and dry. Necrosis can also be brought on by infections.

The effectiveness and safety of topical nitroglycerine spray in preventing scalp necrosis have been demonstrated in numerous studies. It functions by widening the blood vessels and boosting local blood flow.

Is Scalp Necrosis Common After Hair Transplant?

As was already mentioned, a very uncommon complication following a hair transplant is scalp necrosis. In order to lower the rate of complications following hair transplants, it is critical that the patient and the surgeon have open lines of communication.

 Necrosis will begin right away in the postoperative period if it results from issues with the surgical technique. Cell death will take place about a week after surgery when the wounds are still raw if the necrosis is caused by poor blood flow brought on by smoking or drinking. Your scalp may physically change due to necrosis.

Things To Consider About Scalp Necrosis After Hair Transplant

There are several causes for scalp necrosis. Skin in the recipient area, typically in the middle of the scalp, may be affected. Poor vascularization, extremely deep incisions, dense splitting of the recipient sites, smoking, and alcohol use are a few possible causes.

The issue extends beyond the recipient region. Due to the trauma of extracting follicles from the area, it can also happen in the donor area. However, scalp necrosis is extremely uncommon. By selecting the best surgeon with a board certification and adhering to the postoperative instructions, it can be avoided.

Unfortunately, once it starts, there is no turning back. Necrotic tissue needs to be removed by the surgeon because new hair grafts will not grow in necrotic tissue. Therefore, it’s crucial that you do your homework before choosing a clinic.

Painless and Needle-Free Hair Transplant

by asmed | Jun 9, 2023 | Blog

Painless and Needle-Free Hair Transplant: The fear of experiencing pain and soreness while under anesthesia is the main concern for patients during surgical procedures. Hair loss, whether caused by disease, trauma, or genetics, poses a significant challenge for individuals. However, with advancements in technology, a Painless and Needle-Free Hair Transplant offers a viable solution for those seeking effective treatment. The best procedure for thinning hair is hair transplantation, which is highly recommended. Regardless of gender, hair transplantation can be done on both men and women. For those who want to regrow their hair, a painless hair transplant is preferred. People who want to have the procedure may be discouraged by the thought of the pain in their heads. It is important to thoroughly research the procedure processes in order to determine whether the hair transplantation process is painful or not.

Most of the patients who are considering FUE hair transplantation have inquiries about pain perception and the number of injections that will be administered. Sapphire hair transplantation is carried out under local anesthesia, which numbs a specific area with drugs injected under the skin.

The patient won’t experience any pain during the hair transplant thanks to this technique. But at this point, patients with needle phobias or pain phobias may start to feel uncomfortable. Local anesthesia is the aspect of the procedure that worries patients the most.

Is It Possible To Get Painless and Needle-Free Hair Transplant?

A hair transplant is typically a pleasant and easy experience for the majority of people who are experiencing hair loss, even though no surgery can be completely painless and some brief and probably temporary level of discomfort is possible. A hair transplant is not painful thanks to local anesthesia and post-operative pain relievers. 

 This does not, however, imply that there is no discomfort at all. Hair transplants are no different from other minimally invasive or benign medical procedures in that they can cause some discomfort. Fortunately, the “pain” only lasts a short while. Most patients describe a hair transplant as being very simple and even mildly enjoyable, with almost no reported pain.

What’s The Most Painless and Needle-Free Hair Transplant Method?

Local anesthesia has been used in a variety of ways in recent years to lessen patients’ fear and anxiety, and some of these techniques promise no pain.

Local anesthesia for Sapphire hair transplant procedures lasts for about 15 minutes, and patients experience no pain afterward. For FUE hair transplantation, the patient receives two applications of local anesthesia. Before the intake phase, the first is applied to the neck region, and the second, before the canals are opened, is applied to the forehead.

One local anesthesia technique that helps patients feel less anxious is needle-free anesthesia, which is practiced in many developed nations worldwide. During FUE hair transplantation, it reduces patient anxiety and speeds up the doctors’ workflow.

With the aid of cutting-edge technology tools, sapphire hair transplantation is done without the use of needles. Through the application of high air pressure by the apparatus mounted on the head area, anesthetic drugs are sprayed onto the skin and then injected into the tissue.

Later, the medication spreads to the tissue using diffusion logic, blocking the transmission of pain to the nerves. The most crucial thing for FUE hair transplant patients who prefer needle-free anesthesia to understand is that even after some numbness is administered via the device, needles will still be used for tumescent anesthesia.

FUE Hair Transplant

It should not be forgotten that the medication, not the technique used, is what causes pain during local anesthesia during FUE hair transplantation. For this reason, even though anesthesia without needles lessens pain, it still has some degree of discomfort.

Patients who underwent anesthesia with needles and those who underwent non-needle anesthesia were compared in scientific studies, but no differences were found.

Patients should be aware that needle-free anesthesia is most definitely not painless while participating in research. For patients with needle phobia, FUE hair transplantation with needle-free anesthesia is advantageous.

Do You Feel Any Pain Before Hair Transplant?

The numbing agent is the only thing that causes a patient any real discomfort during a hair transplant. Once the scalp has been prepared and numbed, the patient is completely pain-free for the rest of the day. The scalp is numbed twice: once in the donor area, where the grafts come from, and once in the recipient area, where the new grafts will be implanted. Before the actual surgery even starts, the donor area is numbed. The doctor will numb the donor area first the morning of surgery after clearly marking the plan and cleaning and trimming the scalp. 

The doctor will inject small amounts of a local anesthetic — the same kind of drug a dentist uses to numb a cavity before filling it — throughout the affected area. The injections are quick, superficial, and made with an extremely fine needle. Pain is minimal as a result. The majority of patients describe it as a brief “pinching” sensation that quickly gives way to numbness as the medication “kicks in.” While it takes the numbing medication about 10-15 minutes to fully take effect, most patients say they start to feel numb within seconds to minutes. Nothing else is felt in the donor area after this. 

Without the patient feeling anything, the doctor can remove the tissue using either the FUT/strip or the FUE technique. Before the numbing medication wears off and causes patients to feel uncomfortable, it typically lasts for three hours and is periodically refreshed throughout the day.

What Happens During Hair Transplant?

After the numbing medication is administered, patients will experience no pain during the extraction portion of surgery, as previously mentioned. Before making incisions and placing the grafts back into the scalp, the recipient area must be numbed, just like the donor area. The procedure is the same as for numbing the donor; the doctor will administer the same local anesthetic to the recipient area, and the entire area will become numb in a matter of minutes. 

Once the numbing takes effect, the patient won’t feel anything as the doctor and technicians work there. The patient won’t feel anything else all day long except for the numbness in the recipient area. 

Following this, the entire scalp is completely numb from the front to the donor area in the back. Now the entire procedure can be performed pain-free. There won’t be any physical pain from the surgery itself, but the patient might want to reposition themselves and take breaks to stretch and move around to avoid the discomfort of sitting for an extended period. In the event that the patient experiences pain, they will alert the staff and the doctor will administer additional anesthetic injections.

Benefits Of Needle Free Hair Transplant

Very thin needles are used in needle anesthesia. Many needle procedures call for numbing the entire area. Pressure spraying is used to numb the area in needle-free anesthesia. Through the capillary openings, anesthetic substance enters the subcutaneous layer. While needle-free anesthesia enables patients with needle fear to perform their procedures without hesitation, it can be a stressful experience for those patients.

To numb the area before the hair transplant procedure, many needles are required. People may experience swelling, bruising, and redness after these needle strokes. These circumstances are not present in painless anesthesia. Since the skin is not punctured during painless anesthesia, the risk of infection is reduced. In painless anesthesia, less anesthetic is used. More areas are quickly and painlessly sedated in less time.

How To Minimize Pain After Hair Transplant?

Fortunately, patients report little to no discomfort following surgery. After the procedure is finished, the doctor will re-administer the anesthetic. This indicates that the patient will experience numbness for about three hours before it wears off and any potential discomfort may appear. The patient now has three hours to return to their accommodation, unpack, and—most importantly—start taking their post-operative pain medications. The transition should go smoothly and without any discomfort if the patient follows the oral medication instructions and takes some pain medication before the numbing wears off. 

After taking the prescribed number of additional doses of painkillers as directed the night of surgery, they will go to bed pain-free. All potential for pain should be gone by the following morning. The majority of patients claim to have no pain the day after surgery and do not require any kind of medication. They should have some remaining painkillers on hand to use, or they can take Tylenol (acetaminophen) if they do feel any minor discomfort. However, most patients do not even require this and it is only for minor discomfort.

Hair Transplantation And Epilepsy

by asmed | Jun 7, 2023 | Blog

Hair Transplantation And Epilepsy: Recent years have witnessed remarkable progress in hair transplant surgery. Technological advancements in the procedure have greatly improved its success rate and overall outcomes, ensuring enhanced safety and effectiveness.

There are many questions about whether people with epilepsy or fits can have hair transplant procedures. If someone had epilepsy when they were younger, can they get a hair transplant?

Another common question is whether patients with a history of childhood epilepsy will experience a lower success rate for hair transplants. Patients who have epilepsy issues can also receive a hair transplant if they adhere to certain safety precautions.

One can still be qualified for a hair transplant procedure even if they have had epilepsy since childhood or has been managing it for three to four years with medication.

What Is Epilepsy?

A brain condition called epilepsy is responsible for recurrent, unannounced seizures. If you experience two unprovoked seizures or one unprovoked seizure with a high risk of subsequent ones, your doctor may diagnose you with epilepsy. Epilepsy does not cause all seizures. Although a brain injury or a genetic predisposition may be related to seizures, the exact cause is frequently unknown. 

The term “epilepsy” is used to describe a range of disorders characterized by recurrent seizures. It makes no mention of the severity or cause of the person’s seizures.

Can Patients With Epilepsy Get Hair Transplant?

Unless medications affect hair growth or the medicines we use for anesthesia, epilepsy has no impact on the success of hair transplants.  Ask your doctor for advice on the use of local anesthetics if you’re one of the majority of patients unaware of any anti-epileptics that interfere with transplants or have interactions with them.  

It is not possible because doctors specify a number of safety requirements before someone can be approved for a hair transplant.

These prerequisites must be satisfied. It is not feasible in any other case. If someone has active epilepsy, they must wait, take the appropriate medication, and wait for the condition to pass. Such patients run the risk of dangerous outcomes if they choose to undergo a hair transplant without first treating their current condition.

If untreated patients with hair transplants experience uncontrolled movement during fits, it can cause head injuries and harm the hair grafts. After receiving medical treatment for their condition, patients with epilepsy should wait for a minimum of six months and a maximum of a year.

Such patients are ideal candidates if they wait three years and their issue does not return during that time. Risk-taking can backfire for epilepsy patients considering hair transplants, so it is always preferable to perform the procedure with a skilled medical professional nearby.

Will Epilepsy Affect The Succes Rate Of A Hair Transplant?

Doubts are frequently raised because epilepsy and hair transplantation is incorrectly thought to originate from or occur in the same area: the head. The source of epilepsy is much deeper inside the brain than the superficial level at which hair transplant surgery is performed on the scalp by surgeons. Additionally, epilepsy patients’ hair transplant outcomes would be comparable to those of other patients.

The region where the healthiest, strongest hairs are removed from the follicles for hair transplantation is known as the donor area. The region from the neck to the two ears is referred to as the donor area.

The height of the donor area typically starts a few centimeters above the nape of the neck and extends all the way to the spot where hair is beginning to fall out. The width is chosen based on the patient’s hair structure up until the weak and sparse area above the ears.

Can Patients With Epilepsy Travel For Hair Transplant?

In general, traveling by car is simple and affordable. However, it is highly unlikely that anyone who is still having seizures can be driving. In different nations and states, there are different rules regarding driving while having seizures. To be able to drive, people with epilepsy typically need to be seizure-free for a predetermined amount of time. Occasionally, depending on where you live and your particular circumstances, driving may only be permitted during particular hours of the day or under particular conditions. You should talk to your doctor about this.

Therefore, if you have epilepsy and want to travel by car, first check how well you can control your seizures and make sure you can do so safely and legally. However, if a person shows signs of confusion or displays unusual behavior during or after a seizure in a confined space, there may be concerns about the safety of other passengers and the limited availability of medical assistance during a flight.

While most individuals can travel safely despite having seizures, some may need to take extra precautions and engage in careful planning to ensure their safety. When organizing a trip for pleasure or business, consider your transportation options carefully. This could assist you in identifying potential problem areas and developing innovative solutions in advance! Traveling can be less stressful and more enjoyable for everyone if you plan ahead.

How Long Should You Wait To See Permanent Results Of Hair Transplant For Epilepsy Patients?

Following a hair transplant, graft survival rates range between 90 and 95 percent. In essence, this means that hair that is transferred from the donor area to the recipient area should continue to grow healthily.

Patient satisfaction levels are taken into account when analyzing the hair transplant success rate. In fact, a 2016 study polled former FUE hair transplant patients who had used donor hair from their head, body, or beard in addition to their own hair. An average satisfaction rating of 8.3 out of 10 was recorded in the study’s follow-up with these patients about three years after their treatment, providing strong support for the success rate of FUE hair transplants.

It’s crucial to keep in mind that final results may not manifest right away when analyzing hair transplant success rates. After the procedure, you’ll probably go through the “shedding phase,” in which up to 90% of the newly transplanted hair falls out. However, this does not imply that the procedure was unsuccessful. Instead, this is a normal, temporary reaction to the surgery, and the hair will eventually start to regrow. The final effects of a hair transplant typically take around 12 months to show, but in some circumstances, they can even take up to 18 months.

Is Hair Transplant Permanent

by asmed | Jun 2, 2023 | Blog

It’s normal to wonder “Is Hair Transplant Permanent?” if you’re looking into hair restoration as a treatment for hair loss. The good news is that a hair transplant procedure can last a lifetime if it is carried out by a qualified, experienced hair restoration specialist.

This is due to the fact that the follicle, not the scalp, is where the genetic predisposition for hair loss exists. Healthy hair follicles are transplanted to your balding or thinning areas during hair transplant surgery. No matter where on the scalp it is located, hair with hereditary baldness retains the characteristics of the area from which it was taken. The only permanent treatment for hair loss is hair transplant surgery for this reason.

What Makes Hair Transplant Permanent?

Some patients elect to undergo multiple procedures in order to increase their hair density because hair loss is progressive, and there is a physical limit to what can be accomplished in a single procedure. However, that only enhances the hair that was already implanted; it has no impact on further hair loss.

Although hair transplants can be permanent, we always discuss with patients their long-term risk of hair loss and how to manage this with medications as part of all consultations. We are invested in ensuring their hair transplant is as long-lasting as possible because it directly affects how long it will last.

How Long Does The Result Of Hair Transplant Last?

Patients who have surgery while experiencing active hair loss may still lose hair even after a hair transplant. This will result in the removal of all hair after leaving hair in the transplanted area. This will therefore shorten the lifespan of your hair transplant.

You must be sure you will be satisfied with your hair transplant result and that you can manage your ongoing hair loss because the results can be permanent. This entails thinking about a few things before having a procedure. 

Even when they are elderly, a balding man or woman will still have hair on the sides and back. This is due to the fact that these areas are unaffected by hair loss-causing processes. However, the top and crown of the head are particularly vulnerable to hair loss, particularly in cases of male or female pattern baldness.

As a result, the hairs on the sides and back of your head have a higher tendency to stay with you throughout your lifetime. These hairs retain their resistance when we remove and transplant them from those areas to an area where you are balding. This implies that they stay in the new location for an extended period of time, potentially making a hair transplant permanent.

Is It Possible To Make The Results Of Hair Transplant More Durable?

A hair transplant operation replaces and replenishes hair in areas where you have lost it. You may still be able to keep and prevent hair loss from occurring on your head, though.

You can help maintain your existing hair by using drugs like Finasteride and Minoxidil, which have been shown to stop hair loss and encourage growth. As a result, your hair transplant can be carried out with the knowledge that you won’t likely go bald or recede any further. This gives you additional assurance that, even though the results of your hair transplant are long-lasting, they won’t look odd if you eventually go bald and thin.

You might need a second hair transplant as you lose more hair if you don’t take medications to stop any further hair loss. This distinguishes between hair transplants carried out with and without finasteride/minoxidil.  You can anticipate a long-lasting hair transplant result if you take medications that stop further hair loss. If you don’t take medications to stop further hair loss, you risk getting a long-lasting hair transplant that won’t work for you as you lose more hair in the future. You might require a further hair transplant in these circumstances. 

Hair Transplant Aftercare Tips

It’s crucial to handle your hair follicles gently when handling them right after the procedure. Avoid touching or scratching the area that has received a transplant because doing so could disturb the grafts and cause an infection. It’s best to dress comfortably, and you should avoid wearing tight headgear-like hats that might rub against the transplanted area.

Protecting the transplanted area from the sun and other harmful elements is essential during the initial healing phase. When exposed to the sun, wear a hat with a wide brim or apply high-SPF sunscreen. For at least two weeks, refrain from swimming or immersing your head in water, particularly in hot tubs, pools, or saltwater.

Aftercare for hair transplants must include proper hair washing. However, it is imperative that you abide by the instructions your surgeon gives you. Typically, your doctor will advise you to start using a mild shampoo and gently wash your hair after a day or two. Let the water flow over the transplanted area rather than rubbing or scrubbing it.

It’s crucial to refrain from engaging in any activities that could put undue strain on your scalp or increase blood flow to the head for the first week or two after your hair transplant. Avoid any activities that might result in excessive sweating or pressure on the transplanted area, such as strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and others.

What Should You Do If Your Hair Transplant Results Gone Wrong?

Getting in touch with the surgeon who carried out the procedure is the first and most important step. Make an appointment to talk about your worries and displeasure with the result. They ought to be able to assess your situation and offer advice on what to do next.

Think about getting a second opinion from a dermatologist or another hair transplant specialist. They can independently evaluate your situation and offer a different viewpoint or range of treatment options.

 Learn about the procedure, any risks, and reasonable expectations for the results of a hair transplant. You will be better able to ask intelligent questions and make wiser decisions going forward with this knowledge.

How Long Should You Wait To Get Another Hair Transplant?

If you start to regress behind the hairs you’ve had implanted, your hair transplant may begin to look odd. If you are not taking medication to stop further hair loss, this could mean that you decide to have a second or third hair transplant.

Given that an FUE hair transplant can last a lifetime, you should be aware that it will appear strange in the future if you continue to go bald behind the transplant. This is why it’s crucial to take preventative medication for hair loss in the future.

It may be best to postpone getting a hair transplant if you decide against taking any medication and instead choose to wait until your hair loss stabilizes at age 30. This is crucial so that you can prepare for your hair transplant and estimate how much more hair you will likely lose. Additionally, it keeps you from getting another hair transplant and incurring additional costs.

Even after a hair transplant, some patients’ hair may continue to thin in some areas of the scalp. This could imply that in order to maintain a result, a second or third hair transplant is needed to top off specific areas. 

Does Hair Transplant Have The Same Permanence For Every Patient?

Hair restoration procedures are not a panacea. The results of hair transplantation will be less successful in people with advanced hair loss, where hair follicles are dormant for two to seven years, and in people with very thin hair in the donor area. This is not to say that significant cosmetic improvements are impossible. Simply standards must be lowered. 

Almost always, a few strategically placed transplanted hairs are preferable to no hair at all.

Future hair loss cannot be stopped by a transplant. Although the newly implanted hair may remain in place for life, the hair around the transplant site may still shed. There are remedies for ongoing hair loss.

Things To Consider About The Lifetime Of A Hair Transplant

Making the decision to get a hair transplant can completely change your life and help you regain your confidence. However, the success of your hair transplant depends on more than just the surgery; good aftercare is equally important. Your newly implanted hair follicles need special care after a hair transplant in order to heal properly and grow over time.

For those suffering from hair loss, hair transplants provide an efficient and long-lasting solution. Although the initial shedding and growth phase may require some patience, the genetic resistance of the transplanted hair follicles to hair loss ensures long-term results. You can benefit from a fuller head of hair for years to come by comprehending the hair growth cycle, adhering to post-operative care instructions, and addressing any potential future thinning. A consultation with an experienced hair transplant surgeon will give you personalized insights into the particular elements affecting the durability of your results and direct you toward the best outcome.

Does Finasteride Help Hair Growth

by asmed | Jun 1, 2023 | Blog

Does Finasteride Help Hair Growth? Before a few decades ago, men simply had to accept and deal with hair loss as a natural process. Then finasteride appeared, a drug for treating hair loss that the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approved in 1997 under the trade name Propecia.

Finasteride, a medication for daily use, gives men who are balding the chance to slow down, stop, or in some cases, reverse the condition. If you’re starting to lose your hair, consider using finasteride to prevent further hair loss, either by itself or in conjunction with other treatments.

Your first concern when taking any medication is probably, “Does this stuff work?” However, we digress. Men feel this way for a reason. The majority of men will experience male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) at some point in their lives. We know how Finasteride works when you can anticipate results after beginning treatment, and the fact that it actually works.

How Does Finasteride Help Hair Growth?

Along with dutasteride, Finasteride is one of two 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. Your body eventually transforms the enzyme 5-alpha reductase into the hormone dihydrotestosterone.  Both hair loss and an enlarged prostate, which may result in benign prostatic hyperplasia, are linked to this hormone. For many people, the amount of 5-alpha reductase in your body determines how much DHT it can produce. 

Because of this, when the active ingredient finasteride gets to work, it effectively stops some of your DHT from ever having a chance to mess with your body, particularly your scalp, and hair.

The vast majority of men who take finasteride don’t lose any more hair while taking it. After using finasteride for two years, 83% of men with male pattern baldness saw no change in the number of hairs on their heads. Comparatively, only 28% of men who took a non-therapeutic placebo did not notice a difference in their hair count.

Is Finasteride Worth It?

Consider Finasteride as a kind of stop-loss switch for your hair. Even though there is no assurance that you will regrow your lost hair, the vast majority of men who use finasteride report that their hair loss does not worsen while on medication. Your daily dose of finasteride may also assist you in regrowing hair in areas of your scalp or receding hairline where there is only mild thinning if your hair loss is not severe.

Over the course of two years, researchers discovered that men who used finasteride to treat male pattern baldness had an increase in their average hair count that was clinically significant.

When Will I Get Results From Finasteride?

You should start to see a difference in your hair loss after taking oral finasteride for about three to four months. Your results ought to be clearly discernible after a year.  Although the medication begins to work right away, you won’t notice any changes. In fact, during the first few weeks of use, you might even start to see more hair falling out. This is normal and won’t last long, so don’t be alarmed. 

 You’ll start to notice that your hair loss has slowed down or even stopped once you’ve been experiencing it for 3–4 months. Additionally, you might notice a small amount of hair growth. You then start to really pick up the pace. You should start to see some pretty significant treatment results around the one-year mark.

Ways To Improve Results Of Finasteride

Finasteride is simple to administer. It is available as a topical treatment and a tablet and only needs to be taken once daily, with or without food. Nevertheless, you can increase your chances of success with finasteride and hasten the results by taking a few extra steps, such as combining it with other hair loss treatments. 

Combine Finasteride And Minoxidil Together

Finasteride is known to be effective on its own, but research indicates that combining it with topical minoxidil for treating hair loss and promoting hair growth, can yield even better results.

Because minoxidil and finasteride work in completely different ways and address different causes of hair loss, they complement each other so well.  Minoxidil works locally to encourage your hair to enter the anagen, or growth, phase of the hair growth cycle as opposed to blocking DHT. Additionally, it increases blood flow to the scalp, which could aid in providing your hair follicles with more nutrients and promoting growth. It can be applied directly to your scalp and comes in both foam and liquid forms.  Minoxidil does not require a prescription, so you can get it from drugstores.

Revise Your Hair Care Products

Numerous hair care products, such as shampoos and styling aids, contain abrasive ingredients that can irritate your scalp and inhibit the growth of healthy hair. Choose a shampoo that is made to encourage growth and stop hair loss rather than one that contains ingredients like sulfates.

It is possible to increase your hair growth with other products. By doing these, it’s feasible to improve the effects of Finasteride. Shampoos with ingredients like saw palmetto or ketoconazole, like our hair thickening shampoo, may also aid in promoting hair growth and shielding your follicles from DHT’s negative effects.

 An essential B vitamin called biotin does not seem to prevent male pattern baldness. It does, however, contribute significantly to the growth of your hair and could be a useful addition to your hair care regimen. By keeping your hair strong, hydrated, and healthy, a good conditioner supports the growth of your hair.

Give Your Scalp A TLC

You possibly think that the idea that scalp massages could enhance the effects of finasteride is about as absurd as it gets, but there is a science to support it. Who doesn’t enjoy a good massage, too?

Over the 24 weeks, daily four-minute scalp massages were able to increase hair thickness and stimulate hair growth. It is still unclear how and why scalp massages can promote hair growth, but experts theorize that it might have something to do with softening the skin and boosting blood flow.

Get A Healthy Lifestyle

Though your habits and lifestyle do have an impact on healthy hair, male pattern hair loss is mainly genetic and hormonal in nature.  Try to stop smoking if you do. Despite the fact that smoking doesn’t seem to raise DHT levels, the toxins in cigarette smoke can harm the DNA of your hair follicles. Our comprehensive guide to quitting smoking contains more information on the most effective methods for breaking the habit.

Zinc, iron, and protein are just a few of the essential nutrients needed for healthy hair growth. Try to consume a diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources.

Although stress doesn’t cause male pattern hair loss, it can contribute to a condition known as telogen effluvium, which is a temporary hair loss. Minimize the level of stress you encounter in your life. This could entail altering your work routine, using therapeutic tools to enhance your mental health, or engaging in meditation to better manage your stress and anxiety symptoms.

Final Thoughts On The Use Of Finasteride

There is little doubt that finasteride is effective for the majority of people. We have a reality check to share with anyone who believes it will work a miracle on their dormant or dead hair follicles, though. The effects of male pattern baldness can be slowed down, avoided, and even reversed with finasteride, an efficient treatment.

For best results, finasteride and other hair loss treatments like minoxidil must be used consistently over an extended period of time. Before using Finasteride, be sure to consult your healthcare provider for advice. Don’t hesitate to ask your healthcare professional if you have any additional questions. You can benefit from Finasteride as long as you take care of yourself. Turkey Hair Transplant: Experience the Beauty and Quality of Health Care in Turkey

Hair Transplant Aftercare

by asmed | May 27, 2023 | Blog

Hair Transplant Aftercare: Experience the Beauty and Quality of Health Care in Turkey What goals do you have after undergoing a hair transplant procedure to regrow a full head of healthy hair? The majority of people might experience recovery anxiety on par with surgery anxiety. You must carefully adhere to the aftercare instructions provided by your doctor. So doing ensures proper healing and raises the procedure’s success rate.

The majority of the time, patients are instructed to refrain from touching the newly planted areas and to keep their heads to themselves for the first few days. 

You should lie on your side or back with your head raised for the first two to three days following the procedure to reduce swelling. When sleeping or dozing off in a reclined chair, it is possible to maintain a 45-degree angle with the help of several pillows. You might experience some minor discomfort or pain in the first week following a hair transplant, which you can treat with painkillers. It is typical to experience some swelling at this time. A small crust is also typical, but by the end of the second week, it usually disappears.

Hair Transplant Aftercare Timeline

Despite the fact that hair transplantation is a non-invasive procedure, it is still a surgical procedure with potential risks. Swelling is among the most frequent adverse reactions that can occur after a hair transplant. It is your body’s natural response to an injury or trauma. You may experience some swelling on your forehead and around your eyes, even with a skilled and gentle procedure. Injections of fluids used to administer local anesthesia during the hair transplant procedure can also result in swelling in addition to the reaction of damaged tissue. It’s critical to understand that this is a normal, safe bodily response.

First Week After Hair Transplant

The most crucial and uncomfortable time following a hair transplant is the first week after the procedure. On the first postoperative day, your bandage will probably be taken off. You might favor having your hair washed at our clinic. After the third day, you can begin gently shampooing your hair with a specific shampoo. You might experience some minor bleeding or itching during the first few days.

The strength of the hair grafts will start to increase after five days, but you should still be gentle when handling the transplanted area.

2 Weeks After Hair Transplant

The wound will start to heal significantly, scabs will start to fall off, and redness will start to fade in the second week following hair transplantation. To remove any residue or dead skin cells, you should keep washing your hair gently. Depending on your availability, you can either visit a doctor in person or virtually for your first post-op check-up during the second week.

Hair grafts will settle in 7–10 days after your hair transplant procedure and a resting period will start. During this time, you may experience some minor hair loss, which is a normal occurrence known as “shock loss.”

A Month After Hair Transplant

After your hair transplant, you might still be experiencing shock loss three to four weeks later. By three weeks, swelling and scabs ought to be almost gone, and the redness near your hairline ought to be significantly reduced. You should ease into exercise and keep an eye on your body, especially the area that had surgery.

The second post-op check-up is typically scheduled for the third week to monitor your recovery and give you additional aftercare instructions. This can also be completed online or in person, just like the initial check.

The road to recovery following a hair transplant is long. In the months that follow your operation, you will notice both subtle and noticeable changes. The full head of hair you’ve been dreaming of will eventually become a reality thanks to the various advancements that each month will bring.

The most severe stage of shock loss may begin one month after a hair transplant procedure. Remember that patients may experience mood swings during this time even though they are entirely natural and normal.

Two Months After Hair Transplant

The second month will see a gradual decline in shock hair loss and the appearance of new hair growth. Hair growth can exhibit variations in its rate, sometimes appearing erratic or uneven.

Usually, hair that hasn’t lost any hair during the shock loss period appears weaker.

Three Months After Hair Transplant

In the third month following your operation, significant hair growth might be seen. But watch out for infections and blisters that are brought on by raised and delicate skin. While infections may require the use of medication, blisters are typically easier to treat.

If you notice any signs of infection, talk to your surgeon or a medical advisor. To get quick and efficient results, be sure to strictly adhere to the aftercare instructions.

Six Months After Hair Transplant

The rate of hair growth peaks around six months, during which time hair strands progressively thicken and gain strength on a daily basis. It covers up to 80% of the area. You can use a wide hair brush to comb through your hair, trim it to remove any unruly hair strands, or use a razor to cut it. You must be cautious not to expose your hair to extremely hot or cold conditions even though everything appears to be back to normal. You can choose to have a post-op check-up to assess your recovery at the end of the sixth month.

A Year After Hair Transplant

After a hair transplant, it usually takes 12 months to see the desired results. At this point, the donor and transplanted areas have almost fully recovered. You can now confidently enjoy a head of full, healthy-looking hair. You are free to use any styling tools and do whatever you want with your new hair.

To make sure your desired outcomes are realized, your final clinic check-up will be scheduled a year after your hair transplant surgery. Make sure to abide by your surgeon’s instructions regarding the upcoming time period and how to best take care of your new hair.

Things To Do After Hair Transplant

If you have specific questions about how the aftercare process might affect your way of life or medical conditions, talk to your doctor.  Up to four weeks may pass before you can perform vigorous exercise. You should avoid using saunas, swimming pools, the sea, and tanning beds for three weeks.

Prior to allowing you to leave the operating room, your doctor will bandage your head. After a day, you can usually remove this. For the first few days up to a week, you might see some bleeding from the affected areas. Do not cover your head. Apply any provided products.

Please be very careful with the towel and take care not to scratch the recipient’s skin. Until all scabs have peeled off, wash your hair every day. Applying a thin layer of the lotion can soothe the donor area if it becomes uncomfortable between washes because of dryness. In this instance, washing is not required.

First Wash After Hair Transplant

Every patient is given detailed instructions on how to correctly wash their hair at the clinic, as it is considered one of the most critical factors that can influence the ultimate outcome of the hairtransplant procedure.

Lotion, oil, or any other appropriate moisturizer is applied to the transplanted area and left on for 15 to 30 minutes. Scabs around the donor area and transplanted grafts become softer as a result. This softening stage promotes healing by removing dried blood traces. The scalp should be washed with warm water after 15 to 30 minutes. A special medical shampoo is used to wash the transplanted area and the donor. To accomplish this, gently lather a small amount of shampoo between your hands before applying it to the entire scalp. Avoid rubbing your scalp.

Use your palms gently and without applying any pressure throughout the entire washing process. After washing, use a paper towel to dry your hair. Just pat it very gently. Use the moisturizer up until the scabs come off or the scalp starts to feel dry. If you experience persistent dryness, you may consider using a moisturizer between hair washes as well.

In order to remove scabs, it is recommended to shampoo daily. There shouldn’t be any more signs of dried blood or scabs on your scalp after about 7 to 10 days. Washing the hair more than once a day is allowed if necessary after the procedure. 

Sleeping After Hair Transplant

During the initial week after the procedure, it is essential to minimize touching the recipient areas. We recommend patients to sleep on their backs with adequate head support using pillows. This practice helps reduce potential swelling that may occur following a hair transplant by elevating the head while sleeping. Moreover, patients are instructed to utilize the specialized pillow provided by the clinic during the first 7-10 days.

Wearing Hat/Beanie After Hair Transplant

You will receive a Panama-style hat that you should wear whenever you are outside or on your way home. Your scalp will be shielded by the hat from the sun, dust, and other environmental elements. Please wear this hat for five days following surgery; then, you are free to switch to any other hat of your choosing. It’s crucial to choose a hat for the time following surgery that won’t pull on the newly transplanted grafts or fit too tightly on the recipient areas. Please cover your head when outside for up to two weeks or until the scabs have completely disappeared.

Shock Loss After Hair Transplant

The natural growth cycle of hair follicles, which includes the growth, transition, and resting phases, causes shock loss, causes shock loss, which is a common natural process. The shedding period is referred to as the resting phase. Due to surgical trauma and the hair follicles’ innate ability to protect themselves, hair follicles enter the resting phase after a hair transplant.

Shock loss is not cause for concern because it is a normal part of the follicle’s lifespan. Each person will experience this natural period for a different amount of time. It typically lasts up to two months, and after three to four months, normal hair growth is visible.

Pain And Swelling After Hair Transplant

After the hair transplant procedure, it is common to experience mild pain for a few days. Some individuals may have difficulty sleeping during the initial days following the surgery. Typically, the donor area may be more sensitive than the recipient area. Over-the-counter pain relievers can be used to alleviate any discomfort that arises after the hair transplantation.

Swelling is extremely rare with DHI hair transplants. It happens more frequently with bigger hair transplant procedures and transplants where the hairline was heavily modified. The forehead and the region around the eyes may experience swelling, which may last for two to five days and reach its peak on the fourth day. 

Medication & Other Supplements After Hair Transplant

For the first few days, you might feel irritated, tender, and in pain, but watch what medications you choose. Avoid using blood thinners or aspirin. Supplements like zinc, iron, and B-complex vitamins may be among them.

Following surgery, antibiotics are frequently prescribed for 3 to 5 days. They are used to guard against potential infections and promote quick healing. At the clinic, our patients receive antibiotics.

Fucidin or Bacitracin antibiotic cream may be required at some point as the healing process progresses. This cream should be applied directly to the inflamed areas whenever pimples or bumps are seen in the recipient or donor areas.

Transgender Hair Transplant Surgery

by asmed | May 24, 2023 | Blog

Transgender hair transplant surgery is an important consideration for individuals seeking to enhance their hair thickness or restore lost hair. This procedure holds significant value within the transgender community as it contributes to the overall transitioning process. From achieving a more feminine hairline to addressing hair loss concerns, transgender individuals often explore the potential benefits of hair transplant surgery. If you are contemplating this transformative step, understanding the possibilities and outcomes of transgender hair transplant surgery can be crucial in making informed decisions about your desired appearance and hair restoration goals.

You may think about having a masculine hairline feminized if you’re an MtF (Male to Female) patient or nonbinary transfeminine. You might be thinking about regrowing hair where it is thinning if you are an FtM (Female to Male) patient.

What’s A Transgender Hair Transplant?

Transgender hair transplant procedures are simple, largely because of the skill of our surgeon. FUE and FUT are the two main procedures used in trans hair transplants, and both are efficient at accelerating hair growth and producing thicker, longer hair.

Depending on the gender you identify with, these procedures can be used for both MtF and FtM transitioning to help create a more natural and properly shaped hairline. In order to combat gender dysphoria, those who are transitioning from FtM may also want to consider getting an eyebrow or beard transplant. 

The distinctive features of male and female hairlines, including their position, shape, and hair-flow pattern, are significant gender traits. However, there are many issues, particularly when transitioning, with crown hair loss and receding hairlines. Male pattern baldness is therefore an undesirable trait for most men, but because it is a recognizable side effect of male hormones, it can be extremely distressing for non-binary transfeminine (MtF) patients.

The availability of treatments for transgender patients to help with their transitioning process has improved thanks to advancements in FUE hair transplants and non-surgical hair loss treatments.

Male To Female Hair Loss

Male-to-female hair transplants are much more difficult than FtM procedures because the patient almost always has some degree of crown or hairline hair loss. The effect of DHT can help slow down the recession process, but if a patient is taking estrogen, then the change in hormone levels can counteract this effect.

An FUE hair transplant is a good option to restore the hairline and give a patient a more feminine appearance if they have temple hair loss and non-surgical treatments aren’t working.

Female To Male Hair Loss

Male pattern baldness may occur if you’re transitioning from a female to a male and taking testosterone. Your hairline can change as a result of male hormones, which can also cause male pattern baldness.

This is due to the fact that the body changes testosterone into DHT, which is believed to be a major contributing factor to male pattern baldness. DHT shrinks and sheds your hair follicles, which can have a negative impact on your hairline. Sadly, there is no effective treatment for male pattern baldness. To give the appearance of a full head of hair, there are some fantastic non-surgical and surgical options.

Types Of Transgender Hair Loss

Hair transplant procedures require a thorough understanding of the distinction between feminine and masculine hairlines. To create a natural appearance for the patient, it is necessary to recognize the differences between each gender.

A feminine hairline is typically placed further forward than its male counterpart, while a masculine hairline is typically placed further back, giving the impression of a higher forehead.

This gets worse as men age and their hairlines thin. Unlike a receding hairline brought on by aging, which few women experience, hair loss in women tends to be more sporadic and doesn’t usually affect one particular area.

Males typically have a receding hairline around the temples, emphasizing a “M” shape pattern. Females typically have a straight hairline. Females, on the other hand, have an oval-shaped hairline. Additionally, a male hairline may not always flow in the same way as a female one.

Transgender Male Hair Loss

While testosterone can promote hair growth, people who are transitioning from being a woman to a man and taking testosterone may experience hair loss issues, particularly male pattern baldness brought on by the hormone dihydrotestosterone, which can result in brittle and weak hair as well as hair loss. A hair transplant is a great way to stop hair loss brought on by dihydrotestosterone, resulting in more reliable and natural-looking results. You can also use minoxidil or finasteride, which are both recognized as effective transgender hair loss treatments and known to treat dihydrotestosterone. 

Transgender Female Hair Loss

When changing from a man to a woman, you might be taking estrogen supplements, which can initially cause high or unbalanced hormone levels as your body adjusts. Similar to dihydrotestosterone, excessive estrogen levels can cause hair loss. If the problem is particularly persistent and recurrent, a transplant may be necessary to lessen bald or thinning hair patches and encourage healthier and thicker hair growth. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride may help you in this situation. 

Make sure you know all the potential risks associated with hormone replacement therapy and how to manage them if you are thinking about or are already undergoing it to help reduce any gender dysphoria triggers. 

What’s The Best Method For Transgender Hair Transplant?

In the transgender community, hair transplants are a common procedure because they can improve the way your hairline looks and add thickness and volume to thinning areas. FUE hair transplants are used to alter a patient’s hairline and hair crown in order to help them transition to a different gender.

The patient’s transition is taken into consideration when designing transgender hair transplant surgery. Regardless of whether the patient is switching from MtF or FtM, the procedure will be entirely customized to their needs using a bespoke approach. Since a cis male’s hairline differs from a cis female’s hairline, the appropriate steps will be covered in detail during a thorough consultation prior to the procedure.

How To Get A Transgender Hair Transplant?

If you have significant gender dysphoria and a receding hairline and temples, you might want to think about a light temple hair restoration. Before undergoing any facial feminization surgery, beginning hormonal treatments, or beginning hormone replacement therapy, this can be taken into account.

After the facial feminization surgery is finished, a second hairline procedure can be done for full hairline feminization. In order to frame a feminine face, this would aim to create a hairline. The hairline of this patient will be completely feminized in the next step.

Non-Surgical Hair Loss Treatment Options For Transgenders

We advise trying non-surgical hair loss treatments first because they are less invasive and, in some cases, more effective than FUE hair transplants. The patient must be the only factor in determining whether certain medications can actually stop hair loss.

Additionally, there are a variety of non-surgical hair loss treatments for transgender patients that can aid in the process if you do not feel comfortable having surgery.

Your current stage of hair loss will determine how effective these treatments are for you. For instance, Minoxidil is a stimulant therapy used to boost hair vitality, which results in thickness. 

However, if you have severe hair loss, this treatment might not be for you; you can better understand this after speaking with one of our surgeons. However, effective medications like Finasteride stop balding directly by preventing the enzymes that turn testosterone into DHT. This works especially well in the beginning stages of hair loss.

Health Conditions that may prevent Hair Transplant in Transgender Individuals

Hepatitis: Transgender individuals may be at risk for hepatitis, which is inflammation of the liver. Hepatitis can be caused by various viruses, including hepatitis A, B, and C. These infections can be transmitted through activities such as unprotected sex, sharing needles, or exposure to infected blood. It’s important for individuals to be aware of their hepatitis status and receive appropriate medical management.

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus): Transgender individuals are also at risk for HIV, a viral infection that attacks the immune system. HIV is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, sharing needles, or exposure to infected blood. HIV infection can have implications for hair transplant procedures, and it is important to discuss this with a healthcare provider.

Blood Disorders: Certain blood disorders, such as bleeding disorders or coagulation disorders, may impact the feasibility of hair transplant surgery. These conditions can affect the body’s ability to form blood clots and may increase the risk of complications during and after the procedure.

Non-Surgical Hair Loss Treatments

by asmed | May 23, 2023 | Blog

Non-Surgical Hair Loss Treatments: Regrow hair without a transplant. Try Finasteride, minoxidil, laser therapy, or natural remedies for hair growth.

You can regrow hair using a few techniques without getting a hair transplant. Finasteride and minoxidil (Propecia and Rogaine), a topical medication that aids in stimulating hair growth, are two common treatments for pattern baldness.

Another well-liked technique is laser therapy, which encourages hair growth by using low-level lasers. Last but not least, using natural remedies for hair loss like stinging nettle or taking collagen supplements can aid in hair growth.

No matter how mild or severe the hair loss is, it is not fun to live with. The idea of going bald will always make you anxious, regardless of whether your hair is thinning generally or just a small patch of hair disappearing at the temples.

The assurance that comes from having a full head of luxurious hair is unmatched. Everyone loves the intense boost of confidence and self-esteem that comes from having thick, strong hair.

Therefore, you are not alone if you are thinking about getting a hair transplant but are unsure if it is the best course of action. More people are looking into alternatives to conventional hair transplants. There are several options for slowing or stopping the progression of hair loss and promoting hair growth if you’re just starting to notice the signs of hair loss or want to prevent future hair loss. 

What Are The Best Non-Surgical Hair Loss Treatments?

Although there are many treatments available, hair loss can be both annoying and embarrassing. One common method is a hair transplant, but this can be costly and has risks like rejection or permanent scarring.

In addition to surgery, there are minimally invasive techniques like scalp micropigmentation, low-level light therapy, and platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP). Oral drugs like minoxidil and finasteride are also available.

However, there are natural alternatives available, such as mineral supplements and hair care products that can thicken and increase the amount of hair, for those who would rather avoid surgery, minimally invasive treatments, and medications.

These non-invasive hair transplant substitutes don’t need anesthesia, surgery, or a protracted recovery period. Some of these procedures don’t need any downtime and can be completed in a single office visit. Alternatives to hair transplantation that are more natural, less expensive, and take longer to work include coconut oil, aloe vera, onion juice, iron, biotin, and zinc.

Topical Treatments for Hair Growth

Topical treatments for hair growth are often the first line of defense against hair loss and thinning. These treatments typically consist of minoxidil, a medication approved by the FDA for stimulating hair growth. Minoxidil is available over-the-counter in various strengths and forms, such as foams and solutions. When applied directly to the scalp, minoxidil revitalizes hair follicles, prolongs the hair growth phase, and promotes thicker, fuller hair.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

The most successful and active non-surgical hair restoration method is platelet-rich plasma or PRP. PRP is created in the patient’s blood by platelets, which are then injected into the scalp to promote hair growth. 

PRP functions as a fertilizer for the hair when injected into the scalp, strengthening and thickening it. PRP is more invasive than other non-surgical hair loss treatments because it necessitates a blood donation from the patient.

Doctors take a small amount of blood from a patient’s hand and centrifuge it to separate the red blood cells from the plasma. Only accumulated growth factors are present in plasma. Then, to restore it, PRP is delicately injected into thinning scalps. 

Low-Level Light Therapy

In some cases, patients’ surgical options are constrained by high costs and a scarcity of available hair follicle donors. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), a novel strategy for treating male pattern hair loss, has emerged in response to the need for more effective treatments.

LLLT is being used more frequently because of its simple navigation, low cost, and high safety profile in commercially available LLLT devices. There are currently 29 FDA-approved devices available to treat male- or female-pattern hair loss. The laser beam’s low energy and secure wavelength stimulate the hair follicle cells.

They are able to continue functioning better because of this. A helmet that uses low-level lasers can also be used to administer laser therapy to patients. An LLLT can be a fantastic choice for home care or a more flexible schedule.

Minoxidil

Minoxidil, the main active component in Rogaine, has been a commercially available hair loss treatment since the 2% formula was introduced in 1986. Blood vessels are dilated by minoxidil, which increases blood flow to the scalp. The delivery of more nutrients to the hair follicles encourages hair regrowth.

This well-liked medication, which is available over-the-counter in the form of minoxidil foam or liquid, has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of both male and female pattern baldness. Male pattern baldness sufferers can use Rogaine as an effective hair growth treatment. 

Finasteride

Men can get the prescription drug Finasteride, also known as Propecia. It is taken as pill and works by preventing the synthesis of DHT, the hormone that causes the shrinkage of hair follicles and hair loss.

This is yet another FDA-approved medication for the treatment of male pattern baldness, and it works equally well on the vertex (middle) and crown regions of the scalp.

Two years after using finasteride to treat male pattern baldness, 83% of men with the condition had no change in the number of hairs on their heads. Only 28% of the men who took the placebo experienced no change in hair count. Finasteride prevents the progression of male pattern baldness by suppressing dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Over-The-Counter Home Remedies For Hair Loss

The lauric acid found in coconut oil penetrates the hair shaft and lessens protein loss. Depending on your hair type, you can apply a coconut oil leave-in treatment overnight or for a few hours prior to washing your hair.

If your hair is dry, you can also use coconut oil as a leave-in conditioner. Massage coconut oil through your hair and into your scalp. Applying coconut oil to the scalp strengthens hair follicles and improves the microbiome of the scalp. It’s crucial to remember that coconut oil takes time to work and doesn’t always promise results.

Iron Supplements

Due to its assistance in delivering oxygen to the hair follicles, iron is crucial for healthy hair growth. Anemia, which can result in hair loss, can be caused by a lack of iron. Red meat, poultry, tofu, and green leafy vegetables are all excellent sources of iron.

If you are not getting enough iron from your diet, you can also take an iron supplement. However, before taking iron supplements, consult your doctor.

Constipation and vomiting are two side effects of too much iron, which can also be fatal in high doses. When it comes to significantly and permanently halting hair loss, iron is also sluggish and unreliable.

Aloe Vera

A traditional herbal remedy is aloe vera. It is used to treat a variety of conditions, from dental health to skin conditions. Aloe vera is a viable natural alternative to hair transplants based on research and anecdotal evidence that it can be an effective natural treatment for hair loss. To confirm the effectiveness of aloe vera, more research is necessary.

Zinc

It is no surprise that zinc helps strengthen the follicles that feed the hair beneath your scalp since it is involved in nearly every physiological process that keeps you alive. 

Despite the fact that zinc is a crucial mineral, your body cannot permanently store it, so you must consume it daily. If your zinc levels are low, taking zinc orally may help with hair loss, according to one study.

To determine whether zinc truly stops hair loss, more study is required. It’s important to understand that zinc supplements don’t always promise a long-term fix for a receding hairline, just like coconut oil and other natural alternatives.

Biotin

Biotin’s ability to encourage hair growth or stop hair loss is not well supported in individuals who do not have any nutritional deficiencies.

Because a diet low in biotin can occasionally lead to hair thinning and poor hair growth, treating a biotin deficiency with a supplement can help some people regain hair growth. A biotin shampoo may also be effective in preventing hair thinning.

For hair loss, some doctors recommend the secure supplement biotin, but you can get more by consuming foods high in it, like eggs, wheat germ, and mushrooms.

Lifestyle Changes to Support Healthy Hair

In addition to incorporating non-surgical hair treatments and using nourishing hair care products, certain lifestyle changes can contribute to the overall health and vitality of your hair. Let’s explore some key lifestyle factors that can support healthy hair growth:

Balanced Diet and Nutrition

Maintaining a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins is crucial for healthy hair. Include foods like lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats in your diet to provide essential nutrients for hair growth. Additionally, staying hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water throughout the day helps keep your hair hydrated and promotes a healthy scalp.

Stress Management

Chronic stress can have adverse effects on hair health, leading to increased hair shedding and breakage. Incorporate stress management techniques into your daily routine, such as meditation, yoga, or regular exercise. These activities can help reduce stress levels and promote overall well-being, positively impacting the health of your hair.

Regular Exercise and Physical Activity

Engaging in regular exercise and physical activity not only benefits your overall health but also contributes to healthy hair. Exercise improves blood circulation, including blood flow to the scalp, which nourishes the hair follicles and promotes hair growth. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week to reap the benefits for your hair.

Proper Hair Care Practices

Adopting proper hair care practices can go a long way in maintaining the health and vitality of your hair. Avoid excessive heat styling, harsh chemical treatments, and tight hairstyles that can cause damage and breakage. Use gentle hair care products suitable for your hair type, and avoid overwashing, as it can strip the hair of its natural oils. Additionally, protect your hair from environmental factors like sun exposure and chlorine by wearing a hat or using protective sprays when necessary.

Conclusion

Non-surgical hair treatments offer a range of effective options for individuals looking to enhance the health, thickness, and appearance of their hair without undergoing surgical procedures. From topical treatments and laser therapy to nourishing hair care products and lifestyle changes, there are numerous approaches to address various hair concerns. By utilizing the advancements in non-surgical techniques and incorporating proper hair care practices, you can achieve healthy, beautiful hair that boosts your confidence and reflects your unique style.

Causes of Hair Transplant Failure

by asmed | May 8, 2023 | Blog

Causes of Hair Transplant Failure; As someone who has undergone a hair transplant, you may be wondering why your hair transplant failed. There are many factors that can contribute to a failed hair transplant, and understanding the science behind hair loss is crucial to preventing future hair transplant failures. In this article, I will discuss the hidden causes of hair transplantation failure, the factors that affect hair transplant success, and treatment options for a failed hair transplant.

Understanding the Science Behind Hair Loss

Before we dive into the causes of hair transplant failure, it is important to understand the science behind hair loss. Hair loss is a common condition that affects both men and women, and it can be caused by a variety of factors. The most common cause of hair loss is genetics, which can lead to male pattern baldness or female pattern baldness. Other causes of hair loss include hormonal changes, autoimmune disorders, and certain medications.

Hair loss occurs when hair follicles shrink and produce thinner and shorter hair strands. Eventually, the hair follicles stop producing hair altogether, leading to baldness. Hair loss can occur gradually over time, or it can happen suddenly. The severity of hair loss can also vary from person to person.

So Why Does Hair Transplantation Fail?

Hair transplant failure occurs when the transplanted hair falls out or does not grow as expected. There are many factors that can contribute to hair transplant failure, including poor surgical technique, inadequate donor hair, and underlying medical conditions. In some cases, hair transplant failure can be caused by a combination of these factors.

Poor surgical technique is one of the most common causes of hair transplant failure. This can include improper placement of hair follicles, inadequate blood supply to the transplanted hair, and damage to the existing hair follicles. Inadequate donor hair can also contribute to hair transplant failure, as the transplanted hair may not be sufficient to cover the balding area.

Underlying medical conditions can also contribute to hair transplant failure. Certain medical conditions, such as thyroid disorders, can affect hair growth and increase the risk of hair loss. Medications that affect hair growth can also impact the success of a hair transplant.

Factors that Affect Hair Transplant Success

There are several factors that can affect the success of a hair transplant. These include the surgeon’s experience and skill, the quality and quantity of donor hair, the patient’s age and overall health, and the extent of hair loss. Patients who are older or who have advanced hair loss may be less likely to achieve a successful hair transplant.

The surgeon’s experience and skill are also important factors in the success of a hair transplant. A skilled surgeon will use proper surgical techniques and ensure that the transplanted hair has adequate blood supply. The quality and quantity of donor hair are also important, as the transplanted hair must be a close match in texture and color to the patient’s existing hair.

Signs of a Failed Hair Transplant

There are several signs that a hair transplant has failed. These can include a lack of growth or hair density, visible scarring or a “pluggy” appearance, and an unnatural hairline. Patients who experience any of these symptoms should consult with their surgeon to determine the cause of the problem.

Can Hair Transplants Fail?

Yes, hair transplants can fail. Despite advances in technology and surgical techniques, there is always a risk of hair transplant failure. However, the risk of failure can be minimized by choosing a skilled surgeon, following proper post-operative care instructions, and addressing any underlying medical conditions that may contribute to hair loss.

How to Prevent Hair Transplant Failure

Preventing hair transplant failure begins with choosing a skilled and experienced surgeon. Patients should research potential surgeons and choose one who has a proven track record of success. Following proper post-operative care instructions is also crucial to preventing hair transplant failure.

In addition, addressing any underlying medical conditions that may contribute to hair loss can also help prevent hair transplant failure. Patients should work with their healthcare provider to manage any medical conditions that may affect hair growth, such as thyroid disorders or autoimmune diseases.

Treatment Options for a Failed Hair Transplant

If a hair transplant has failed, there are several treatment options available. These include hair transplant revision surgery, scalp micropigmentation, or the use of hair loss medications such as finasteride or minoxidil. The best treatment option will depend on the cause of the hair transplant failure and the patient’s individual needs and goals.

Common Misconceptions About Hair Transplant Failure

There are several common misconceptions about hair transplant failure. One of the most common misconceptions is that a hair transplant will provide permanent results. While a hair transplant can provide long-lasting results, there is always a risk of hair loss or hair transplant failure.

Another common misconception is that a hair transplant is a one-time procedure. In reality, many patients require multiple hair transplant procedures to achieve their desired results. It is also important to note that a hair transplant is not a cure for hair loss, and additional hair loss may occur in the future.

Conclusion and Final Thoughts

In conclusion, understanding the science behind hair loss is crucial to preventing hair transplant failure. By choosing a skilled surgeon, following proper post-operative care instructions, and addressing any underlying medical conditions that may contribute to hair loss, patients can minimize the risk of hair transplant failure. If a hair transplant has failed, there are several treatment options available, including hair transplant revision surgery, scalp micropigmentation, or the use of hair loss medications. By working with a qualified healthcare provider, patients can find a treatment option that meets their individual needs and goals.

If you are experiencing hair loss or are considering a hair transplant, it is important to work with a qualified healthcare provider who can provide personalized treatment options and help you achieve the best possible results.

Dutasteride vs Finasteride

by asmed | May 5, 2023 | Blog

Dutasteride vs Finasteride: As someone who has experienced hair loss, I understand the importance of finding an effective treatment. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to decide which one to use. In this article, I will be comparing two popular hair loss treatments: Dutasteride and Finasteride.

Introduction to Hair Loss Treatment

Hair loss affects millions of people worldwide, and it can be caused by genetics, stress, hormonal imbalances, and certain medications. While there is no cure for hair loss, there are several treatment options available.

Hair loss treatments work by blocking the hormone responsible for hair loss, DHT (dihydrotestosterone). DHT is a byproduct of testosterone and is responsible for shrinking hair follicles, leading to hair loss.

The two most popular hair loss treatments are Dutasteride and Finasteride. Both of these medications work by blocking DHT, but they differ in their effectiveness and side effects.

What is Finasteride?

Finasteride is an FDA-approved medication used to treat male pattern hair loss. It works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into DHT, which helps to preserve hair follicles.

Finasteride is available in 1mg tablets, and it is typically taken once a day. It can take up to six months to see results, and the medication needs to be taken continuously to maintain its effectiveness.

What is Dutasteride?

Dutasteride is a medication used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition that causes an enlarged prostate. Dutasteride works by blocking both types of the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT. This makes it a more potent DHT blocker than Finasteride.

While Dutasteride is not FDA-approved for hair loss, it is sometimes used off-label to treat male pattern hair loss. It is available in 0.5mg capsules, and it is typically taken once a day.

How do Finasteride and Dutasteride work?

Both Finasteride and Dutasteride work by blocking the conversion of testosterone into DHT. By reducing the levels of DHT in the body, these medications help to preserve hair follicles and prevent further hair loss.

Finasteride blocks the type II 5-alpha reductase enzyme, which is responsible for the majority of DHT production in the body. Dutasteride blocks both types of 5-alpha reductase enzymes, making it a more potent DHT blocker than Finasteride.

Dutasteride vs Finasteride: Comparison of Effectiveness

Studies have shown that both Dutasteride and Finasteride are effective in treating male pattern hair loss. However, some studies have found Dutasteride to be more effective than Finasteride.

A study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that after one year of treatment, 91% of men taking Dutasteride experienced an increase in hair count, compared to 68% of men taking Finasteride.

Another study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found that after 24 weeks of treatment, men taking Dutasteride had a 25% increase in hair count, compared to a 17% increase in men taking Finasteride.

Dutasteride vs Finasteride: Comparison of Side Effects

Like all medications, both Dutasteride and Finasteride can cause side effects. The most common side effects of Finasteride include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and decreased semen volume. The adverse effects caused by this medication are usually mild and transient, resolving after discontinuation of the drug.

Dutasteride can also cause sexual side effects, but they are less common than with Finasteride. Other side effects of Dutasteride include breast tenderness and enlargement, and decreased libido.

It is important to note that both Finasteride and Dutasteride can cause birth defects if taken by pregnant women. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not handle Finasteride or Dutasteride.

Who should use Dutasteride or Finasteride?

Dutasteride and Finasteride are both effective treatments for male pattern hair loss. However, Dutasteride is a more potent DHT blocker and may be more effective for those with more advanced hair loss.

Finasteride is typically recommended for men with mild to moderate hair loss, while Dutasteride is recommended for men with more advanced hair loss.

It is important to note that both medications are only effective as long as they are being taken. Once the medication is stopped, hair loss will resume.

How to use Dutasteride or Finasteride?

Both Dutasteride and Finasteride are available by prescription only. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions when taking these medications.

Finasteride is generally consumed once daily, regardless of meals. Dutasteride is also taken once a day, but it should be taken with food to increase absorption.

It can take up to six months to see results from either medication, and it is important to continue taking the medication as directed to maintain its effectiveness.

Conclusion: Which is the better option for treating hair loss?

Both Dutasteride and Finasteride are effective treatments for male pattern hair loss. Dutasteride is a more potent DHT blocker and may be more effective for those with more advanced hair loss. However, Finasteride is typically recommended for men with mild to moderate hair loss.

Both medications can cause sexual side effects, but they are typically mild and go away once the medication is stopped. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions when taking either medication.

If you are experiencing hair loss, talk to your doctor to determine which medication is right for you. With the right treatment, you can slow or even reverse the effects of hair loss and regain your confidence.

Simply put, a hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves taking hair follicles from one part of the body (usually the back of the head) and transplanting them to another part of the body (usually the scalp). The transplanted hair follicles will then grow and produce hair in the new location.

Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE) are the two primary forms of hair transplant surgery. With FUT, a strip of skin is removed from the donor area and dissected into individual hair follicles, whereas with FUE, individual hair follicles are directly extracted from the donor area.

FAQs About Hair Transplant Surgery in Istanbul

Still have questions about hair transplant surgery in Istanbul? Here are a few of the questions that are frequently asked:

Hair Transplant Scar

by asmed | Mar 27, 2023 | Blog

Hair transplant scar is a common concern among individuals who have undergone a hair transplant procedure. While hair transplant surgery can provide natural-looking results, the appearance of scars on the scalp can be a significant issue for many people. In this article, we will discuss the different types of hair transplant scars, the causes of scars, and the best ways to minimize and treat them.

Minimizing the Risk of Scarring

To minimize the risk of scarring, it is important to choose a highly skilled and experienced hair transplant surgeon. The surgeon should use the latest techniques and technologies to minimize the risk of scarring, and should provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing.

Types of Hair Transplant Scars

Hair transplant scars come in different types, shapes, and sizes. The most common types of hair transplant scars include the following:

Linear Scar: This type of scar is the most common and occurs when hair grafts are harvested from the donor site. The strip of skin removed during the procedure leaves a linear scar on the scalp, which can be noticeable, especially if the hair is cut short.

FUE Scar: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a popular hair transplant technique that involves removing individual hair follicles from the donor site. FUE scars are typically small, circular, and scattered across the scalp, making them less noticeable than linear scars.

Punch Graft Scar: Punch grafting was a common hair transplant technique in the past, but it is rarely used today. This technique involves removing circular sections of skin from the scalp, leaving small, circular scars on the scalp.

Causes of Hair Transplant Scars

The appearance of scars after a hair transplant procedure can be attributed to several factors, including:

• Poor surgical technique: The surgeon’s skill and experience are crucial in determining the appearance of the scar. An inexperienced surgeon can use improper techniques, leading to a more visible scar.

• Inadequate wound healing: Proper wound healing is critical to reduce the visibility of scars. If the wound is not allowed to heal correctly, the resulting scar can be more significant.

• Individual skin type: The skin’s elasticity and thickness play a significant role in the appearance of scars. Individuals with thin and less elastic skin are more likely to develop visible scars.

Ways to Minimize and Treat Hair Transplant Scars

While hair transplant scars cannot be entirely avoided, there are several ways to minimize their appearance. The following are some of the most effective ways to reduce hair transplant scars:

Choose a skilled surgeon: Selecting a qualified and experienced surgeon is essential to ensure that the hair transplant procedure is done correctly. A skilled surgeon will use proper techniques that minimize the appearance of scars.

Opt for FUE Hair Transplant: FUE hair transplant is an excellent option for individuals concerned about visible scars. The small, circular scars created during the procedure are less noticeable than linear scars.

Follow Post-Operative Care Instructions: Following post-operative care instructions is essential to promote proper wound healing and minimize scarring. Patients should avoid smoking, excessive drinking, and other activities that can delay healing.

Use Scar Reduction Products: There are several scar reduction products available that can help minimize the appearance of scars. These products include silicone gel sheets, scar creams, and vitamin E oil.

How is the scar after hair transplantation treated?

The scar after hair transplantation can be treated in several ways to minimize its appearance. One of the most effective ways to treat hair transplant scars is by opting for a follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant. 

Following post-operative care instructions is also essential to promote proper wound healing and minimize scarring. Patients should avoid smoking, excessive drinking, and other activities that can delay healing. Scar reduction products such as silicone gel sheets, scar creams, and vitamin E oil can also be used to minimize the appearance of scars.

In some cases, scalp micropigmentation can be used to camouflage the scars. Scalp micropigmentation is a non-invasive technique that involves tattooing the scalp with tiny, pigmented dots, which mimic the appearance of hair follicles. This technique can help to create the illusion of a fuller head of hair and hide the scars from the hair transplant procedure.

It is important to note that the appearance of the scar after hair transplantation will depend on several factors, including the patient’s skin type, the surgeon’s skill and experience, and the technique used during the hair transplant procedure. 

Considering Revision Hair Transplant?

Unsatisfied with the results of your previous hair transplant? Seeking to add more volume and density to your hair? If you have previously undergone a hair transplant but are dissatisfied with the results, you may be considering a revision hair transplant procedure. Revision hair transplant can help to correct the mistakes made during your previous surgery and give you the look you desire.

Hair Transplant Scar Revision Cost

Having a hair transplant can be an exciting and life-changing decision for many people. But when the procedure leaves you with a noticeable scar, it can feel like a setback. Fortunately, there are ways to revise hair transplant scars and regain your confidence. 

The cost of hair transplant scar revision can vary depending on several factors, including the size and severity of the scar, the technique used, and the surgeon’s experience and reputation.

On average, the cost of hair transplant scar revision can range from €1,500 to €7,500 or more, depending on the complexity of the procedure. It’s important to note that this cost typically includes the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, and any follow-up care required after the procedure.

While hair transplant scar revision may seem like a significant investment, it’s essential to consider the long-term benefits of the procedure. A successful scar revision can significantly improve an individual’s confidence and self-esteem, which can have a positive impact on their personal and professional life.

Conclusion

Hair transplant scars are a common concern among individuals who have undergone a hair transplant procedure. While scars cannot be entirely avoided, there are several ways to minimize their appearance. Choosing a skilled surgeon, opting for FUE hair transplant, following post-operative care instructions, and using scar reduction products are some of the most effective ways to reduce hair transplant scars.

Turkey Hair Transplant: Experience the Beauty and Quality of Health Care in Turkey

by asmed | Mar 24, 2023 | Blog

Turkey Hair Transplant offers world-class hair transplantation services with affordable prices and experienced medical teams.

Turkey is a beautiful country with a rich cultural heritage and breathtaking landscapes. It is a popular destination for tourists, but it is also renowned for its high-quality medical care, including hair transplant procedures. In this article, we will provide a brief overview of Turkey’s beauties, the health system, and the large number of hospitals. We will also dive into hair transplant statistics in Turkey and why it has become a go-to destination for hair restoration procedures.

Discover the Beauties of Turkey

Turkey is a country located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, making it a unique blend of cultures, religions, and traditions. From the ancient city of Istanbul to the stunning beaches of Antalya, Turkey is a country full of hidden treasures. It is a popular destination for tourists from all over the world, and it is easy to see why. The stunning landscapes, historic landmarks, and friendly people make it an unforgettable experience.

Experience the Quality of Health Care in Turkey

Turkey has one of the most developed health care systems in the world, with a large number of hospitals and clinics. The country has made significant investments in the healthcare sector, and it is reflected in the quality of medical services provided. Turkey has a universal healthcare system, and all citizens have access to free healthcare. Private healthcare is also available for those who want to pay for premium services.

Best Hair Transplant Technique

Turkey hair transplant is the destination for anyone looking for the most precise and reliable hair transplant techniques.

• Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): This is the most commonly used technique in Turkey for hair transplantation. It involves the extraction of individual hair follicles from the donor area (usually the back of the head) and their transplantation to the recipient area. This method leaves minimal scarring and has a shorter recovery time compared to other methods.

• Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): This technique involves the removal of a strip of skin from the donor area, which is then dissected to obtain individual hair follicles for transplantation. This method is less commonly used in Turkey due to the potential for scarring and longer recovery time.

• Direct Hair Implantation (DHI): This is a newer technique that involves the use of a specialized tool to extract and implant hair follicles one by one directly into the recipient area. This method is gaining popularity in Turkey due to its precision and ability to achieve natural-looking results.

In terms of internationally preferred methods, FUE is generally considered the gold standard for hair transplantation due to its efficacy and minimal invasiveness. However, DHI is also gaining popularity due to its ability to achieve natural-looking results with minimal scarring. Ultimately, the choice of technique depends on the individual patient’s needs and preferences, as well as the surgeon’s experience and expertise.

After Hair Transplant

After hair transplantation, we also offer PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) and hair fillers as additional treatments to help improve the overall results and promote hair growth.

PRP involves using a small amount of the patient’s own blood, which is then processed to extract the platelet-rich plasma. This plasma is then injected into the scalp, where it can help stimulate hair growth and improve the overall quality of the hair.

Hair fillers, on the other hand, involve injecting a dermal filler material into the scalp to help fill in any areas where there may be gaps or thinning hair. This can help create a fuller, more natural-looking head of hair.

Both PRP and hair fillers are safe and effective treatments that can be done alongside hair transplantation or as standalone treatments. They can help improve the overall results of hair restoration and provide patients with a more satisfying outcome.

Hair Transplant Statistics in Turkey

Hair transplant procedures have become increasingly popular in Turkey over the years. The country is now the leading destination for hair transplant surgeries, with more than 500,000 procedures performed annually. This is due to a combination of factors, including the high quality of medical care, affordable prices, and the availability of skilled surgeons.

Turkey has become a top destination for not just sea, sun, ski, and cultural tourism, but also for health tourism. According to E.Çakmak, the Founder and President of the Health Tourism Development Council, Turkey is the world leader in hair transplantation with over 500,000 procedures performed. This has contributed a staggering 1-1.5 billion dollars to our country’s economy. It’s no surprise that approximately 50% of the total number of patients come from Europe, with Italy being the country with the highest number of patients seeking hair transplantation, as per Çakmak. Turkey’s state-of-the-art facilities, highly skilled professionals, and affordable prices make it an ideal destination for those seeking a reliable and cost-effective solution to their hair loss concerns.

Hair Transplant Cost

The average cost of a hair transplant in Turkey is around €2,000, which is significantly less than the cost of the same procedure in Western countries. Additionally, the cost of living in Turkey is relatively low, which means that patients can save money on accommodation and other expenses.

Turkey also has a large pool of skilled surgeons who specialize in hair transplant procedures. These surgeons have years of experience and use the latest technology and techniques to ensure the best results for their patients. They also provide a high level of care and support, ensuring that patients are comfortable and well-informed throughout the process.

Examples of Hair Transplant Prices;

• Hair Transplantation Turkey: €2,000 – €3,500

Turkey offers an unforgettable experience that combines the beauty of the country with the quality of healthcare services.

Afro Hair Transplant

by asmed | Mar 8, 2023 | Blog

Afro hair is a unique hair type that requires special care and attention. It is naturally curly, thick and has a different texture compared to other hair types. This can make it challenging to grow, style and maintain, especially for those who have experienced hair loss. Afro hair transplant is a procedure that can help those with afro hair to regain their hairline and restore the thickness of their hair. In this article, we will delve deeper into afro hair transplants and what you need to know before undergoing the procedure.

What is Afro Hair Transplant?

Afro hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves transplanting hair follicles from one part of the scalp to another. The hair follicles are taken from the donor area, typically the back of the head, and then transplanted to the recipient area, which is the area of the scalp that has suffered from hair loss. The transplanted hair follicles will then continue to grow hair in the recipient area, providing a long-lasting solution for hair loss.

Understanding Afro Hair Types

Afro hair is a diverse and unique hair type that comes in a variety of textures, patterns, and styles. Understanding your afro hair type is important for maintaining healthy hair and choosing the right hair care products. Some of the most common afro hair types include:

• Type 4A hair has a defined and tight coil pattern with a fine to medium texture. This hair type is typically soft and delicate, and can be prone to breakage.
• Type 4B hair has a less defined coil pattern and a medium to coarse texture. This hair type is typically thicker and denser than type 4A hair, but can also be prone to breakage.
• Type 4C hair has a tight, dense and undefined coil pattern with a fine to coarse texture. This hair type is typically the densest and most fragile of all afro hair types, and requires extra care to maintain its health and shine.

Different Types of Afro Hair: Curly, Wavy, Straight, and Kinky (Coily)

Afro hair is a diverse and unique hair type that can come in many different textures, patterns, and styles. Understanding the differences between curly afro hair, wavy afro hair, straight afro hair, and kinky (coily) afro hair can help you choose the right hair care products, style your hair effectively, and maintain healthy, beautiful hair.

Curly Afro Hair

Curly afro hair is characterized by defined, spiral-shaped curls that are either tight or loose. This hair type is typically medium to thick in texture and can be prone to frizz and dryness. To maintain healthy curly afro hair, it is important to use gentle hair care products, avoid over-manipulation, and regularly deep condition your hair.

Wavy Afro Hair

Wavy afro hair is characterized by loose, wave-like patterns that are defined but not tightly curled. This hair type is typically fine to medium in texture and can be prone to frizz and dryness. To maintain healthy wavy afro hair, it is important to use gentle hair care products, avoid over-manipulation, and regularly deep condition your hair.

Straight Afro Hair

Straight afro hair is characterized by smooth, straight strands that are either fine or coarse in texture. This hair type is typically the least dense of all afro hair types and can be prone to dryness and breakage. To maintain healthy straight afro hair, it is important to use gentle hair care products, avoid over-manipulation, and regularly deep condition your hair.

Kinky (Coily) Afro Hair

Kinky (coily) afro hair is characterized by tight, tightly-coiled curls that are dense and compact. This hair type is typically the densest and most fragile of all afro hair types and can be prone to dryness, breakage, and shrinkage. To maintain healthy kinky (coily) afro hair, it is important to use gentle hair care products, avoid over-manipulation, and regularly deep condition your hair.

Understanding Your Afro Hair Type

Understanding your afro hair type is important for choosing the right hair care products, styling your hair effectively, and maintaining healthy, beautiful hair. Take the time to identify your afro hair type and learn what steps you can take to maintain its health and beauty. With the right care and attention, you can achieve beautiful, healthy, and vibrant afro hair.

Maintaining Healthy Afro Hair

Maintaining healthy afro hair requires a combination of proper hair care techniques, a well-balanced diet, and the right hair care products. Some of the most important things you can do to maintain healthy afro hair include:

• Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners: Sulfates can strip your hair of its natural oils, making it dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. Opt for sulfate-free hair care products to protect your hair and maintain its health.

• Deep condition regularly: Deep conditioning is essential for maintaining the health and elasticity of your hair. Choose a deep conditioner that is formulated for your hair type and use it regularly to nourish and hydrate your hair.

• Avoid heat styling: Heat styling can damage your hair, making it dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. Try to avoid heat styling as much as possible, or opt for gentler heat styling tools, such as ceramic or titanium flat irons, to reduce heat damage.

• Trim your hair regularly: Regular trims are essential for maintaining healthy afro hair. They help to remove split ends, prevent breakage, and keep your hair looking its best.

By following these tips and taking good care of your afro hair, you can maintain healthy, strong, and beautiful hair.

Benefits of Afro Hair Transplant

There are several benefits of afro hair transplant that make it a popular choice for those with afro hair who have experienced hair loss. Some of the benefits include:

Natural-looking results: Afro hair transplant provides natural-looking results that are indistinguishable from your natural hair. The transplanted hair will grow in the same pattern and texture as your natural hair, making it an excellent option for those who want to restore their hairline and thickness.

Permanent solution: Afro hair transplant is a permanent solution for hair loss. Unlike other hair restoration treatments that require ongoing maintenance, afro hair transplant provides long-lasting results that will last for a lifetime.

Improved self-confidence: Afro hair transplant can help to improve your self-confidence and self-esteem. When you feel good about your appearance, you will be more confident in your daily life, which can have a positive impact on your mental health and well-being.

Which techniques are used in Afro hair transplantation?

1. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): In this technique, individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area using a small punch tool and then transplanted into the recipient area. This method is minimally invasive and can result in a natural-looking hairline.
2. Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT): In FUT, a strip of skin containing hair follicles is removed from the donor area and then dissected into individual follicular units. These units are then transplanted into the recipient area. This method can be more invasive than FUE and may result in a longer recovery time.
3. Direct Hair Implantation (DHI): This technique is similar to FUE, but the hair follicles are implanted directly into the recipient area using a specialized tool. This method may result in a quicker recovery time and less scarring than FUT.

The choice of technique will depend on several factors, including the extent of hair loss, the desired results, and the patient’s individual needs and preferences. It’s important to consult with a qualified hair transplant surgeon to determine the best approach for your specific situation.

What to Expect from Afro Hair Transplant

Before undergoing the procedure, it is important to meet with your surgeon to discuss your goals and expectations.

Eyebrow Transplant: A Comprehensive Guide

by asmed | Mar 7, 2023 | Blog

As we age, it is common for eyebrows to thin or lose their natural shape. This can leave some individuals feeling self-conscious about their appearance and in search of a solution. One option for restoring the appearance of eyebrows is through an eyebrow transplant procedure. In this article, we will discuss the ins and outs of eyebrow transplants, including what to expect, the process, and aftercare.

What is an Eyebrow Transplant?

An eyebrow transplant is a cosmetic procedure in which hair follicles are taken from one area of the body, such as the scalp, and transplanted into the eyebrows. The goal of the procedure is to create a fuller, more natural-looking eyebrow. The transplanted hair will grow in the same way as the original eyebrow hair and can be styled, trimmed, or even tinted to match the natural brows.

Types of Eyebrow Transplant Methods

There are two main methods of eyebrow transplantation: Direct Hair Implant (DHI) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE).

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) technique is a hair transplant procedure that involves the extraction of hair follicles from the donor area and their immediate implantation into the recipient area using a special pen-like tool called a Choi implanter.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a more recent hair transplant method that involves removing individual hair follicles from the donor area and transplanting them into the eyebrow area. The procedure is minimally invasive and leaves no linear scar.

Benefits of Eyebrow Transplantation

1. Natural-looking results: The transplanted hair will grow and behave like natural eyebrow hair, creating a fuller, more natural look.
2. Long-lasting results: The transplanted hair will continue to grow for a lifetime, providing long-lasting results.
3. Versatility: The transplanted hair can be styled and shaped to match your natural eyebrows, providing versatility in your appearance.
4. Confidence boost: Full, natural-looking eyebrows can improve your overall appearance and boost your self-confidence.

Who is a Good Candidate for an Eyebrow Transplant?

An eyebrow transplant may be right for those who have sparse eyebrows due to aging, genetics, or medical conditions such as alopecia. Individuals who have overplucked their brows and now have patches of missing hair may also be good candidates for the procedure. However, it is important to have realistic expectations and understand that an eyebrow transplant will not restore the natural shape of the eyebrows, but rather provide fuller, thicker brows.

Preparing for Eyebrow Transplant:

Before undergoing an eyebrow transplant, it’s essential to do your research and find a reputable and experienced surgeon. Here are some tips to help you prepare:

• Consult with a specialist: Before undergoing an eyebrow transplant, it’s important to consult with a specialist to discuss your goals and the results you can expect.
• Stop taking blood-thinning medications: If you’re taking any blood-thinning medications, you’ll need to stop taking them for a few days before the procedure to minimize the risk of bleeding.
• Avoid alcohol and smoking: You should avoid alcohol and smoking for at least a week before the procedure to minimize the risk of complications.

The Eyebrow Transplant Procedure

The eyebrow transplant procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and can take several hours to complete. During the procedure, the hair follicles are carefully removed from the donor site, usually the scalp, and then transplanted into the eyebrows. The number of follicles transplanted will depend on the desired outcome and the amount of hair available for transplantation.

The transplanted hair follicles will settle into their new location and begin to grow within the first few weeks after the procedure. The hair will continue to grow for several months and reach its full length within a year.

The Procedure: What to Expect

The procedure for eyebrow transplant involves the following steps:

1. Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to minimize discomfort.
2. Harvesting: The surgeon will then harvest hair follicles from the scalp or body.
3. Making incisions: The surgeon will make tiny incisions in the eyebrow area to prepare for the transplant.
4. Transplanting the hair follicles: The hair follicles are then transplanted into the incisions.
5. Closing the incisions: The incisions are then closed with sutures or staples.

Aftercare for Eyebrow Transplants

After the eyebrow transplant procedure, it is important to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your surgeon. This may include avoiding any strenuous activities, refraining from touching the transplanted area, and keeping the eyebrows clean and moisturized.

In the first few days after the procedure, the transplanted hair may fall out, but this is normal and expected. New hair growth will begin to appear within a few months and will continue to grow for up to a year.

Results of an Eyebrow Transplant

The results of an eyebrow transplant are usually visible within a few months after the procedure, with the full results being achieved within a year. The transplanted hair will grow in the same way as the natural eyebrow hair and can be styled, trimmed, or even tinted to match the natural brows.

It is important to have realistic expectations and understand that an eyebrow transplant will not restore the natural shape of the eyebrows, but rather provide fuller, thicker brows.

Risks and Side Effects of Eyebrow Transplant:

Like any cosmetic procedure, eyebrow transplant carries some risks and side effects. Some of the most common include:

• Pain and swelling: You may experience pain and swelling around the transplant area immediately after the procedure.
• Infection: There is a risk of infection associated with any surgical procedure.
• Scarring: Scarring is a common side effect of eyebrow transplant, but it usually fades over time.

Choosing the Right Surgeon for Your Eyebrow Transplant

When considering an eyebrow transplant, it is important to choose a reputable and experienced surgeon who specializes in this type of procedure. A good surgeon will be able to provide you with a realistic understanding of the results you can expect, as well as a clear understanding of the procedure itself.

Factors that can influence the cost of the procedure include the number of grafts required to achieve the desired density and shape of the eyebrows, the type of graft used (i.e., follicular unit extraction or follicular unit transplantation), and whether the procedure is performed under local anesthesia or sedation.

It’s important to note that while the cost of an eyebrow transplant can be a significant investment, it is important to choose a qualified and experienced surgeon to ensure a safe and successful procedure. In addition, some insurance plans may cover the cost of an eyebrow transplant if it is deemed medically necessary due to trauma or other medical conditions that have caused eyebrow hair loss.

Things You Need to Know Before Eyebrow Transplantation

1. Pain: The procedure can be painful, and local anesthesia will be administered to minimize discomfort.
2. Healing time: The healing time for eyebrow transplantation can range from 7-10 days, during which time the transplanted area will be red and swollen.
3. Expertise: It is important to choose a qualified and experienced doctor who specializes in eyebrow transplantation to ensure the best results.

Conclusion

Eyebrow transplant is a cosmetic procedure that offers a natural-looking solution for fuller and more defined eyebrows. While it carries some risks and side effects, the procedure is safe and effective, and the results are long-lasting. If you’re interested in an eyebrow transplant, it’s important to do your research and find a reputable and experienced surgeon to ensure the best possible outcome.

Eyebrow Transplant vs Microblading  FAQ

Crown Hair Transplant (Vertex Area)

by asmed | Jan 20, 2023 | Blog

Hair loss problems, especially in men, begin to appear from a certain age or due to genetic predisposition, stress, psychological or hormonal effects from a young age. Everyone, as a matter of nature, feels discomfort when the integrity of their hair appearance is disrupted, and seeks cosmetic, surgical or various treatment methods to regain the appearance of their lost hair. With the success gained in research and progress studies of modern times, hair transplant techniques have been continuously renewed and updated with new methods since 1991 and have come to the aid of many people facing regional hair loss problems, and are successfully applied by specialists in the field.

When it comes to hair transplantation, the “will I experience another unsuccessful experience?” concern arises in people who have tried this procedure in the past and have not been able to achieve many positive results, which is a very expected situation. However, as a result of the new techniques, which are now applied in a form that has minimized side effects, we have reached a point where the highest yield is obtained from hair transplant procedures. Therefore, it is necessary to give some information about the techniques and terms applied for people who want to regain hair integrity with hair transplantation, and it is possible to list the subject headings and contents as follows.

What Is The Vertex Area?

The question of what the vertex area is can be answered briefly as the area that covers the top point of the head. It is known as the area where hair loss is most common in both women and men and is usually where the first signs of hair loss occur. Due to factors such as genetic predisposition, high stress levels, and hormonal imbalances, the hair roots in the vertex area, which have less blood flow than other areas, may weaken and begin to fall out over time. The hair roots in this area that do not grow back again lead people to hair transplant treatments.

Crown Area Hair Transplant

Crown Hair Transplant (Vertex Area) , translated from Latin to Turkish, means “the top point of anything.” In medical literature, the term vertex refers to the top of our body, the top of the skull. It is one of the most emphasized areas in hair transplant protocols; the reasons for this include that each hair present in the vertex area forms a unique and harmonious turning shape in a different way and can be shaped differently in everyone.

The direction of rotation of hair in this area can be to the right for some people, and to the left for others. In order to create a natural appearance by following this harmony, it is important for the hair transplantation to be performed parallel to the direction of the hair strands in order to achieve a natural outcome and to avoid artificiality in the vertex area and to achieve a look as if no hair transplantation was done at all. In this regard, it is important for the person performing the hair transplantation to pay attention to preserving the rotation line of hair in the vertex area, and to adapt the hair to the skin in a suitable and modern technique that can provide the most natural result.

Crown Area Hair Loss

Hair transplantation in the vertex (crown) area is at the top of the list of problems related to hair loss, especially in men. Although it is not as common in women as it is in men with aging, hair loss complaints can also be observed in the crown area in women. One of the causes of hair loss in the vertex area is due to the release of the male hormone androgen. According to the body’s natural cycle, while only a small amount of the female hormone estrogen is released in men, and a small amount of androgen is released in women, problems with androgen release in women can also lead to hair loss in the vertex area. Because it is more commonly seen in men, this hair loss is commonly referred to as “male pattern baldness”. Medically, this hair loss in the vertex area is called “Androgenetic Alopecia” and can progress in a way that is proportional to genetic predisposition, starting from puberty and increasing towards the 30s and 50s. Despite the problem in the area of hair loss being slowed down to some extent with the developments in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical sectors, it is unfortunately not possible to completely eliminate it. Hair transplantation methods can help to solve the existing problem and remove the problem in the parts where hair loss occurs by creating a natural appearance.

The Measurement Of Vertex (Crown) Hair Loss Using Hamilton Scale

The classification and measurement of hair loss in the vertex (crown) area was first initiated and introduced by Dr. James Hamilton in 1950, and in 1970 Dr. O’Tar Norwood completed the development of this scale with advanced studies. With this scale, baldness resulting from hair loss can be classified into seven separate stages.

• In the first stage, a slight backward pull is observed in the hairline around the forehead, there may or may not be hair loss yet.
• In the second stage, there is a pull back from both sides of the hairline on the forehead.
• In the third stage, the problem becomes more obvious than the first and second stage and the clear parts begin to become more visible. Hair loss in the vertex (crown) area has turned into a clearness, hair loss in the back of the head begins to occur.
• In the fourth stage, there is a visible thinning in the vertex area but hair loss has not yet occurred in the side parts.
• In the fifth stage, there is a significant increase in existing hair loss and the clearness in the vertex area spreads to a wider area.
• In the sixth stage, the opening from the hairline is almost merging with the vertex, but there are still hair in the middle and upper parts of the forehead. In the seventh stage, all the remaining hair on the forehead is lost and only minimal hair roots are seen in the back of the ears. This is the final stage of hair loss.

Rate of hair loss in the vertex (crown) area

The rate of hair loss in the vertex (crown) area is not very intense until the completion of the first and second stages of hair loss. As the hair loss problem in the person reaches the third stage of hair loss, the clearness in the vertex area clearly starts to increase. The main reason for this is that the hair follicles in the vertex area evolve into smaller and weaker follicles. These new follicles that occur contain less color pigment and are shorter, making them weaker and more prone to hair loss. Therefore, after this stage, the rate of hair loss continues to increase and becomes visibly noticeable in the person.

The hair loss problem that people experience due to their genetic structure, hormonal factors, and stress, can start from the forehead area in some people, and can start from the vertex area in others. In some people, hair loss in the vertex area starts quickly and continues to progress. In some people, the rate of hair loss can fluctuate, starting quickly and then slowing down. This can vary from person to person and be affected by many factors.

Hair Transplantation In The Vertex (Crown) Area

If we talk about hair transplantation in the vertex (crown) area; people who have hair loss problems in the top of their hair, may not pay much attention to the hair loss in the vertex area because they do not see the vertex hair loss as much as the hair loss in the front when they look in the mirror. Hair loss in the vertex area can cause more visual problems when it combines with other areas. In contrast, hair transplantation in the vertex area requires more professionalism and delicacy than in other areas. This is because the blood circulation in the vertex area is less than in other areas, making it difficult to naturally capture the unique angle of hair follicles. Additionally, sometimes there are not enough hair tissue to transfer, which can result in less successful results than hair transplantation in other areas. The professionalism of the center and the team performing the hair transplantation also directly affect the success of the results.

What Is The Success Rate Of “Crown Area” In Hair Transplantation?

The success rate of hair transplantation in the crown area can vary depending on the individual’s genetic predisposition, hormonal status, and other personal characteristics. However, with the advancements in technology in aesthetic surgery, the success rate has reached up to 90-95%. Hair transplantation is considered a highly successful measure in reaching these rates. The crown area, in particular, is considered more difficult and requires more attention compared to other areas of the scalp. Therefore, it is important to measure the parameters and determine the appropriate technique before undergoing hair transplantation in order to accurately predict the success rate.

The Problem of Horse Tail in Hair Transplantation in the Vertex Area

Problem of horse tail in hair transplantation in the vertex area In hair transplantation in the vertex area, the problem of horse tail can occur as an undesired situation. The main reason for encountering this problem is the timing error in the transplantation operations performed on the top areas. Properly determining the right time when performing hair transplantation on the vertex area will prevent the formation of a horse tail-like image only in the top area after the hair transplantation. Determining a correct strategy by taking into account the hair loss rate and other factors of the individual before the transplantation operation is of great importance to avoid such problems.

When getting a hair transplant in the vertex area, what should you pay attention to?

When it comes to hair transplantation in the vertex area, it is important to be patient and to understand that the process takes time to yield the best results. It usually takes about a year for the hair to naturally form in the vertex area. The blood circulation in the scalp in this area is less than in other areas, which can lead to thicker and harder skin and less nourishment for the hair roots, resulting in slower and longer process in this area. Regional baldness should be monitored and check if it continues and if the area is ready for the hair transplantation surgery. Medications and creams recommended by the doctor can be used to support the treatment during the waiting period.

How Do The Results Of Vertex Hair Transplant Vary?

When asked how the results of vertex hair transplant vary, it can be said that the general structure of the hair root is the biggest factor. Since everyone’s hair structure is different, growth rate, thickness, gender, and other details are important factors that affect the results. In today’s conditions, with the level of technology and experience gained in hair transplantation, very efficient results can be achieved even in cases of high hair loss. Compared to past years, technology and experience in the field of hair transplantation are advancing and updating day by day.

How is Vertex Area Hair Transplant Done?

When explaining how vertex area hair transplant is done, it is important to try to create a natural turning style as the direction of each hair strand in the top area has its own unique style. After the procedure, the transplant area should be planned and applied taking into account that it is a less productive area compared to other areas. Working in the vertex area requires a more meticulous procedure and time compared to other areas. As a result of a careful and meticulous work, a successful and natural look is achieved when the waiting period is over.

What Causes Vertex Hair Loss?

When thinking about what causes vertex hair loss, we can begin to explain it by listing genetic factors as the most important cause. Psychological reasons such as excessive stress also have a major effect on hair loss. In addition, disorders in hormone mechanisms and side effects from medication can also cause hair loss, especially in the vertex area which is commonly seen in men. The vertex area, which is also known as the crown area, can be defined as the uppermost point of the head. It is one of the most common areas where hair loss occurs and is usually the first area where the signs of hair loss appear. Genetic predisposition, high stress levels, and hormonal imbalances are some of the reasons why hair roots in the vertex area, which have less blood flow than other areas, may weaken and begin to fall out over time. The hair roots in this area that do not grow back again lead people to hair transplant treatments.

Hence, clinics typically function within another emergency clinic’s rented facility. That is, they do not enter medical treatment rooms. Furthermore, the process takes place in ordinary rooms, increasing the risk of disease transmission. Begin by limiting your options based on this standard.

Hair transfers, despite the fact that they are day-case medical operations, must be performed in a medical procedure room. This is done to reduce the risk of contamination.

Consider The Overall Experience

Clinics that have been doing hair transplants for a long time know everything there is to know about it. This cuts down on all sorts of risks. At the end of the day, they know how to take care of health tourists. Also, they have high rates of long-term satisfaction and great results. In the clinical travel and tourism industry and hair transplants, for example, experience is important. Make sure that the clinic isn’t trying anything new in the field. You should avoid getting too complicated with important safety measures in the travel industry. Even though academic achievements are important, what experts really need is insight. So, experts should have the right kind of experience in the field to get great results. The more time you spend doing something, the better you get at it. This is also true when you look at the same thing from different points of view.

Keep in mind that the overall experience, including the facilities and customer service, can also impact the quality of your treatment. Make sure to choose a clinic that prioritizes the comfort and satisfaction of their patients.

Expertise Of Hair Transplant Specialists

Multiple Treatment Options

The FUE procedure involves taking hair grafts one at a time and transplanting them into the missing regions, whereas the FUT method involves removing a skin line containing hair from the neck.

To be employed as a donor area, the individual doing the hair transplantation should have healthy hair on the head and sides. Other characteristics such as hair color, hardness, and waviness also influence the outcome of the process.

The preferred procedure when you decide to perform it after scalp and hair research, taking into account the individual’s benefits. Even though the FUE procedure leaves no marks, it may be important to use the technique in some instances.

Here are a few tips for finding the best clinic in the country:

Research And Compare Clinics

One safe way to get medical help is to look for providers who have a lot of experience in both the clinical field and hair transplants in particular. Having a significant amount of experience in a field is critical, particularly when it comes to something as delicate as hair transplants. It is important to ensure that both the clinic and the physicians performing the procedure have adequate experience. Established clinics with a long history of performing hair transplants will have a deep understanding of the process and the best practices. Choosing such a clinic will put you at ease and give you confidence that you are in good hands.

Experience is key when it comes to medical tourism and hair transplant procedures. An experienced clinic with a track record of happy patients who have achieved great results is a good indication of the quality of service you can expect to receive. It is also important to ensure that the clinic has a long-standing reputation in the field and is not experimenting with new techniques. You want to have confidence that your health is in good hands during the procedure and that the clinic has dealt with similar patients before. While academic success is important, hands-on experience is essential for a practitioner to truly master their craft. The more a clinic has performed a procedure and the more varied perspectives they have on it, the better their skills and results will be.

Take the time to research and compare different clinics and their services, including their reputation, the qualifications and experience of their surgeons, and the technologies and techniques they use.

Read Reviews And Testimonials

A hair transplant facility should be able to supply you with before and after images as well as references. This will not only emphasize their work, but it will also demonstrate to clients that they perform a good job and that their approaches are successful. Seeing several before and after photographs may give you an idea of how effectively the clinic provides outcomes. Client video testimonials should be avoided since quotations may be readily fabricated.

You can also search for any case studies that the clinic has done throughout the years. A case study will show you how different patients responded to therapy. Look for reviews and testimonials from past patients to get a sense of the quality of care provided by the clinic.

Consult With A Surgeon

Many people who are experiencing hair loss assume they require a hair transplant, only to discover that it is too early for that. As a result, it’s critical to choose a hair transplant facility that provides a free consultation prior to procedure. You’ll be able to determine what’s causing your hair loss and the best treatment strategy for you this way.

Consider consulting with a surgeon to discuss your specific needs and concerns, and to get recommendations for reputable clinics in the area.

Hair Restoration

by asmed | Dec 27, 2022 | Blog

Hair loss is a common problem for both men and women, and many people seek various treatment options to regrow their hair. Hair restoration is a process that helps to restore the natural strength and appearance of your hair. We refer to this process as hair restoration.

There are many options for hair restoration, and which is the most suitable can vary depending on the cause of the hair loss and the condition of the hair. 

These can include:

• Hair transplantation: This is a surgical method used to transplant new hair to an area of hair loss. Hair transplantation can help to restore natural-looking hair, but it may not be suitable for some people due to its high cost and the risk of requiring surgery.
• Topical medications: Topical medications are drugs used to support the growth of your hair and reduce hair loss. The effectiveness of these drugs can vary from person to person and generally require long-term use.
• Hormone therapy: Sometimes the cause of hair loss is due to a hormonal imbalance. In this case, your doctor may recommend hormone-regulating drugs.
• Diet and lifestyle changes: To help keep your hair strong and healthy, it is important to follow a healthy diet and a hair care routine that aims to avoid damaging your hair.

How effective is hair restoration surgery?

Hair restoration surgery, also known as hair transplant surgery, can be an effective treatment option for some people with hair loss. The success of the surgery depends on a variety of factors, including the type and severity of the hair loss, the skill and experience of the surgeon, and the individual’s hair characteristics and overall health.

In general, hair transplant surgery has a high success rate and can produce natural-looking results. However, it is important to keep in mind that hair transplant surgery is a surgical procedure and carries some risks, including infection, scarring, and poor healing.

It is also important to note that hair transplant surgery is not a one-time treatment and may require multiple procedures to achieve the desired results. Additionally, the transplanted hair may not grow as thick or fast as the original hair, and some people may experience further hair loss after the surgery.

Overall, the effectiveness of hair restoration surgery will vary from person to person. It is important to discuss the potential benefits and risks of the surgery with a qualified surgeon before making a decision.

Is hair loss different for men and women?

Hair loss can differ between men and women. While both men and women can experience hair loss, the patterns, causes, and treatment options can vary.

In men, the most common type of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia, also known as male pattern baldness. This type of hair loss is caused by a combination of genetics and hormones, and it typically results in hair thinning at the hairline and crown.

In women, the most common type of hair loss is androgenetic alopecia, also known as female pattern baldness. This type of hair loss is also caused by a combination of genetics and hormones, but it typically presents differently in women than in men. Women with female pattern baldness may experience thinning hair all over the scalp, rather than a receding hairline or bald spot at the crown.

Other types of hair loss, such as alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, and traction alopecia, can affect both men and women.

It is important to note that the treatment options for hair loss may differ between men and women. For example, certain medications that are effective in treating male pattern baldness may not be as effective in women, and vice versa. 

Men and women have different hair lines? 

Yes, it is generally true that men and women have different hair lines. Men tend to have a more defined hairline at the front of the scalp, while women tend to have a less defined hairline that may start farther back on the scalp.

This difference in hairline is largely due to hormones and genetics. Testosterone, a hormone that is more prevalent in men, can cause the hairline to recede and create a more defined “M” shape. Women, on the other hand, tend to have higher levels of estrogen, which can contribute to a softer, less defined hairline.

It is important to note that these are generalizations and there is a wide range of variation in hairline patterns among both men and women. Some men may have a softer, less defined hairline, while some women may have a more defined hairline. Hairline patterns can also be affected by factors such as aging and certain medical conditions.

Principles of Frontal Hair line design 

Hairline design is a term used to describe the shape and appearance of the hairline, which is the area where the hair on the scalp begins to grow. In hair restoration surgery, hairline design is an important aspect of the procedure that can help to achieve a natural-looking result.

There are several principles that are typically followed when designing a hairline in hair restoration surgery. 

These principles include:

Natural appearance: The hairline should look natural and blend in seamlessly with the rest of the hair. This can be achieved by using the patient’s existing hair as a guide and carefully selecting the hair grafts for the transplant.

Symmetry: The hairline should be symmetrical, with an even distribution of hair on both sides.

Softness: The hairline should have a soft, natural-looking appearance, rather than a harsh or abrupt transition from hair to scalp.

Age-appropriateness: The hairline should be appropriate for the patient’s age and face shape. For example, a younger patient may want a higher hairline, while an older patient may prefer a lower hairline.

Individualization: The hairline should be customized to the individual patient’s unique facial features and goals for the surgery.

Is hair restoration surgery Painful?

Hair restoration surgery, also known as hair transplant surgery, typically involves some discomfort and pain during the procedure. The extent of discomfort and pain can vary depending on the individual and the specific type of procedure being performed.

During the surgery, the patient will be given local anesthesia to numb the area of the scalp being treated. This can help to minimize any discomfort or pain during the procedure. Some people may experience a feeling of pressure or mild discomfort during the procedure, but this should be well managed with the use of local anesthesia.

After the surgery, some people may experience pain or discomfort at the surgical site. This can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication or as directed by the surgeon. It is important to follow the surgeon’s post-operative instructions to minimize any discomfort or pain and promote proper healing.

Beard And Mustache Transplant

by asmed | Dec 21, 2022 | Blog

A beard and mustache transplant is a surgical procedure in which hair follicles are taken from one area of the body and transplanted to the beard or mustache area to add density or to restore hair growth. The procedure is typically performed by a trained and experienced surgeon or dermatologist and can be done using various techniques, such as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) or Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). The success rate of a beard and mustache transplant is generally high, and the results can be quite natural-looking. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications that should be discussed with a doctor before proceeding.

Common Causes of Facial Hair Loss

There are several common causes of facial hair loss, including:

1. Androgenetic alopecia: This is the most common cause of hair loss in both men and women. It is an inherited condition that is caused by a sensitivity to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
2. Alopecia areata: This is an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss on the scalp and other areas of the body, including the beard and mustache.
3. Telogen effluvium: This is a temporary form of hair loss that is caused by a change in the hair growth cycle, such as during times of stress.
4. Traction alopecia: This is a form of hair loss that is caused by tight hairstyles or chemical treatments that put too much tension on the hair.
5. Nutrient deficiencies: A deficiency in certain nutrients, such as protein, iron, or zinc, can cause hair loss.
6. Hormonal imbalances: Hormonal imbalances, such as those caused by hypothyroidism or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can also cause facial hair loss.
7. Medications: Certain medications, such as those used to treat cancer or epilepsy, can cause hair loss as a side effect.

The use of anesthesia in beard and mustache transplantation

Anesthesia is typically used during a beard and mustache transplant to help the patient remain comfortable during the procedure. The type of anesthesia used may depend on the specific needs of the patient and the preferences of the surgeon.

Local anesthesia is often used for beard and mustache transplants, which numbs the area being treated. This allows the patient to remain awake during the procedure, but they will not feel any pain.

In some cases, intravenous (IV) sedation or general anesthesia may be used, particularly for more extensive procedures. IV sedation involves the use of medication to help the patient relax, while general anesthesia puts the patient to sleep during the procedure.

The use of anesthesia during a beard and mustache transplant is typically determined by the patient’s medical history, the complexity of the procedure, and the patient’s personal preferences. It is important to discuss the use of anesthesia with the surgeon beforehand to ensure that the best option is chosen for the individual patient.

How long is recovery after beard transplant?

The recovery period after a beard transplant can vary depending on the specific procedure and the patient’s individual healing process. In general, most people can return to work and other normal activities within a few days after the procedure.

During the first few days after the transplant, it is normal to experience some swelling and redness in the treated area. The transplanted hair follicles may also fall out within the first week or two, which is a normal part of the healing process.

After about a month, the transplanted hair will begin to grow in. It is important to follow the care instructions provided by the surgeon, which may include avoiding certain activities, using medications as directed, and protecting the treated area from sun exposure and other irritants.

The full results of a beard transplant may not be visible for several months, as it takes time for the transplanted hair to fully grow in and for the treated area to heal completely. It is important to be patient and follow the recommended care instructions during the recovery process to ensure the best possible outcome.

What is the best age for beard transplant?

There is no specific “best” age for a beard transplant, as the procedure can be performed on people of any age. However, it is generally recommended that patients be at least 25 years old before considering a beard transplant, as the beard typically does not fully develop until this age.

Before deciding to undergo a beard transplant, it is important to consider the potential risks and benefits of the procedure, as well as the long-term results. It is also important to have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure, as a beard transplant cannot guarantee a certain beard style or thickness.

How painful is beard transplant?

The level of pain experienced during a beard transplant can vary from person to person, but most people do not find the procedure to be particularly painful. Local anesthesia is typically used during the procedure to numb the area being treated, which helps to minimize any discomfort.

Some people may experience mild discomfort or soreness after the procedure, which can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. It is also common to experience swelling and redness in the treated area for a few days after the procedure, which can be managed with cold compresses and prescribed medications as needed.

Overall, the vast majority of people find that the discomfort and side effects of a beard transplant are minimal and manageable, and the procedure is generally well-tolerated. It is important to discuss any concerns about pain or discomfort with the surgeon before the procedure to ensure that appropriate measures are taken to minimize any discomfort.

How many hairs do I need for a full beard transplant?

The number of hairs needed for a full beard transplant will depend on the specific needs and goals of the patient, as well as the size and shape of the beard area. In general, a full beard transplant can typically be achieved with anywhere from 500 to 2000 grafts, depending on the density and thickness desired.

It is important to discuss the specific goals and expectations for the beard transplant with a qualified and experienced surgeon or dermatologist before the procedure to determine the appropriate number of grafts needed. The surgeon will be able to evaluate the size and shape of the beard area and the patient’s hair type and density to determine the best course of treatment.

Keep in mind that a beard transplant cannot guarantee a certain beard style or thickness, and the results may vary from person to person. It is important to have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure and to follow the recommended care instructions during the recovery process to ensure the best possible results.

Are the results of Beard and Moustache Transplant permanent?

The results of a beard and mustache transplant are generally considered to be permanent. Once the transplanted hair follicles have been successfully transplanted and have taken hold in the new location, they should grow and function just like the patient’s natural hair.

However, it is important to note that the results of a beard and mustache transplant may not be completely permanent in all cases. Some people may experience some hair loss or thinning over time, particularly if they have a genetic tendency for hair loss or if they are taking medications that can cause hair loss as a side effect.

It is also important to follow a proper skincare routine and protect the treated area from sun exposure and other irritants to help maintain the health and appearance of the transplanted hair.

Overall, the vast majority of people who undergo a beard and mustache transplant are able to enjoy long-lasting, natural-looking results. However, it is always important to discuss the potential risks and limitations of the procedure with a qualified and experienced surgeon or dermatologist before proceeding.

How expensive is a beard transplant?

The cost of a beard transplant can vary widely, depending on a number of factors, including the specific needs and goals of the patient, the technique used, and the location of the practice. In general, a beard transplant can cost anywhere from $1,200 to $1,600 or more, depending on these and other factors.

It is important to note that the cost of a beard transplant is not typically covered by insurance, as it is considered a cosmetic procedure. It is also worth noting that the cost of a beard transplant may vary significantly from one practice to another, so it is important to shop around and get quotes from multiple providers to find the best price.

Before deciding to undergo a beard transplant, it is important to carefully consider the potential costs and to make sure that the procedure is financially feasible. It is also important to have a thorough consultation with a qualified and experienced surgeon or dermatologist to discuss the specific needs and goals of the patient, as well as the potential risks and complications of the procedure. The surgeon will be able to provide a detailed cost estimate and help the patient make an informed decision.

How do you sleep after a beard transplant?

After a beard transplant, it is generally recommended to sleep in a semi-upright position with the head and upper body propped up by pillows. This can help to reduce swelling and discomfort in the treated area, as well as reduce the risk of any complications.

It is also important to follow the specific care instructions provided by the surgeon, which may include avoiding certain activities, using prescribed medications as directed, and protecting the treated area from sun exposure and other irritants.

It is generally recommended to avoid sleeping on the side of the face that has been treated for at least the first few days after the procedure, as this can put unnecessary pressure on the transplanted hair follicles and potentially disrupt the healing process.

If the patient experiences discomfort or difficulty sleeping after the beard transplant, it may be helpful to use a soft, supportive pillow or an inflatable neck pillow to help maintain a comfortable and upright position while sleeping. It is also important to get enough rest and to avoid any activities that may cause undue stress on the treated area.

Can I shave after beard transplant?

It is generally recommended to avoid shaving for at least the first few weeks after a beard transplant to allow the transplanted hair follicles to take hold and to allow the treated area to heal properly. Shaving too soon after the procedure can disrupt the healing process and potentially cause damage to the transplanted hair follicles.

During the first week or two after the beard transplant, it is generally recommended to use a gentle, non-irritating cleanser and avoid any harsh or abrasive products, such as exfoliants or alcohol-based toners. It is also important to avoid sun exposure and other irritants, as these can potentially interfere with the healing process.

After the first few weeks, the surgeon will typically provide specific instructions for caring for the transplanted hair and for resuming normal grooming activities, such as shaving. It is important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure the best possible outcome.

In general, it is a good idea to wait until the transplanted hair has fully grown in and the treated area has fully healed before resuming normal shaving activities. This can typically take several months, depending on the individual’s healing process and the specific needs of the patient.

What is Ringworm, How is it Treated?

by asmed | Dec 19, 2022 | Blog

Ringworm is a common fungal infection that affects the skin, scalp, or nails. It is not caused by a worm, but rather by a type of fungus called a dermatophyte.

Ringworm can affect people of all ages and can be spread through direct contact with an infected person or animal, or through contact with contaminated objects such as towels, clothing, or bedding. It can also be spread by coming into contact with soil that contains the fungi.

Symptoms of ringworm may include a red, itchy rash that is circular in shape and has a raised, scaly border. The rash may be accompanied by other symptoms such as redness, swelling, and scaling of the skin.

Ringworm is typically treated with antifungal medications that are applied to the skin or taken by mouth. Some examples of these medications include terbinafine, itraconazole, and griseofulvin. Over-the-counter antifungal creams or lotions can be effective in treating mild cases of ringworm, while more severe cases may require prescription-strength medications.

In addition to taking medications, it is important to practice good hygiene to prevent the spread of the infection. This may include washing your hands frequently, avoiding sharing personal items such as towels and combs, and washing clothing and bedding that has come into contact with the infected area.

Causes of Ringworm ?

Dermatophytes are a group of fungi that live on the skin, hair, and nails of humans and animals. They feed on the keratin, a protein that makes up these tissues.

Ringworm can affect any area of the body, but it is most commonly found on the skin of the arms, legs, and torso. It can also affect the scalp, nails, and feet.

Ringworm is highly contagious and can be spread through direct contact with an infected person or animal, or through contact with contaminated objects such as towels, clothing, or bedding. It can also be spread by coming into contact with soil that contains the fungi.

People who have a weakened immune system, such as those who are undergoing chemotherapy or have HIV/AIDS, are more susceptible to developing ringworm. Additionally, those who live in warm, humid environments and those who have poor hygiene practices are also at an increased risk of contracting the infection.

What are the different types of ringworms?

There are several different types of ringworm, depending on the area of the body that is affected. Some common types of ringworm include:

Tinea corporis: This type of ringworm affects the skin on the body, and is also known as “body ringworm.” It appears as a red, scaly, circular rash that is often itchy.

Tinea capitis: This type of ringworm affects the scalp, and is also known as “scalp ringworm.” It appears as scaly, bald patches on the scalp and can cause severe itching and scaling.

Tinea pedis: This type of ringworm affects the feet, and is also known as “athlete’s foot.” It appears as a red, itchy, scaly rash between the toes and on the soles of the feet.

Tinea unguium: This type of ringworm affects the nails, and is also known as “nail ringworm.” It causes the nails to become thick, discolored, and brittle.

Tinea cruris: This type of ringworm affects the groin area, and is also known as “jock itch.” It appears as a red, itchy rash in the folds of the skin in the groin area.

All types of ringworm are caused by a fungal infection and can be treated with antifungal medications. It is important to see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment of ringworm.

How long does ringworm hair loss last?

The extent and duration of hair loss from ringworm can vary depending on several factors, including the severity of the infection, the person’s immune system, and the effectiveness of treatment.

In general, hair loss due to ringworm can be significant, but it is usually temporary. With proper treatment, the hair should start to regrow within a few weeks. The hair may initially grow back slowly or may be thin or brittle, but it should eventually return to its normal thickness and strength.

If the infection is not treated promptly or if it is not treated effectively, the hair loss may be more severe and may take longer to resolve. In some cases, the hair may not grow back at all, resulting in permanent hair loss.

It is important to seek treatment for ringworm as soon as possible to minimize the risk of hair loss and other complications. A healthcare provider can recommend the appropriate treatment based on the severity and location of the infection.

There are several steps you can take to get rid of ringworm:

1. Use an over-the-counter or prescription antifungal medication: There are several antifungal medications that are effective in treating ringworm. These may be applied topically to the affected area or taken orally. Your healthcare provider can recommend the best treatment option for you based on the severity and location of the infection.
2. Practice good hygiene: To prevent the spread of the infection and minimize your risk of re-infection, it is important to practice good hygiene. This may include washing your hands frequently, avoiding sharing personal items such as towels and combs, and washing clothing and bedding that has come into contact with the infected area.
3. Keep the affected area clean and dry: Fungi thrive in warm, moist environments, so it is important to keep the affected area clean and dry. Avoid wearing tight-fitting clothing that may trap moisture against the skin, and try to keep the area exposed to air as much as possible.
4. Avoid scratching: Scratching the infected area can cause the rash to spread and may also lead to secondary infections. If the rash is itchy, try to resist the urge to scratch and use over-the-counter creams or lotions to soothe the skin instead.
5. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions: It is important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for treatment and to finish the entire course of medication, even if the symptoms improve. This will help to ensure that the infection is fully cleared.

If you are unable to get rid of the infection or if your symptoms worsen, it is important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

Is Ringworm Contagious?

 Yes, ringworm is contagious and can be transmitted from person to person, as well as from animals to people. Ringworm is highly contagious and can be transmitted through direct contact with an infected person or animal, or through contact with contaminated objects, such as towels, clothing, or bedding. The fungus can also be transmitted through soil, as some types of dermatophytes are found in soil.

To prevent the spread of ringworm, it is important to practice good hygiene, such as washing your hands frequently and avoiding sharing personal items like towels and combs. If you have ringworm, it is important to cover the affected area with a bandage to prevent the fungus from spreading to others. If you think you may have ringworm, it is important to see a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hair Filler

by asmed | Dec 19, 2022 | Blog

Hair filler injections can help reduce the severity of hair loss and support the return of healthy hair. To be effective, hair fillers must be injected with suitable content. Hair loss is a problem that almost everyone experiences. Hair loss occurs earlier and more severely in men due to genetic predisposition. If left untreated, hair loss can result in baldness. To prevent baldness, necessary interventions and treatments should be applied as soon as hair loss begins.

Women’s hair health can easily be compromised if regular care is not taken. Styling hair with heat and chemical products can easily damage hair health. Damage to hair health directly affects hair roots. Due to the weakness of hair roots, hair cannot hold together and easily falls out. In such cases, we recommend getting a hair filler treatment as soon as you notice hair loss.

In this article, you can find answers to questions such as what is a hair filler, how to apply a hair filler, the advantages and benefits of hair filler injections. 

What is a hair filler?

 A hair filler is a product that is used to fill in thin or balding areas on the scalp to create the appearance of thicker, fuller hair. Hair fillers can come in different forms, such as powders, sprays, or creams, and are often applied to the scalp using a brush or comb. Some hair fillers are designed to be used on their own, while others are intended to be used in conjunction with other hair products, such as hair fibers or hair thickening shampoos.

Hair fillers are often used as a temporary solution to thinning hair, and they are not intended to treat the underlying cause of hair loss. If you are experiencing thinning hair or hair loss, it is important to speak with a healthcare provider or a dermatologist to determine the cause and discuss potential treatment options. 

How to apply hair filler ?

 To apply a hair filler, follow these steps:

1. Start by styling your hair as you normally would. If you have longer hair, you may want to tie it back or use a hair clip to keep it out of the way.
2. Depending on the type of hair filler you are using, you may need to shake the bottle or container to mix the product before using it.
3. Hold the hair filler container close to your scalp and lightly shake it over the area where you want to apply the product. If you are using a powder or spray, you may need to use a brush or comb to distribute the product evenly.
4. Gently massage the hair filler into your scalp, using your fingertips to help distribute the product evenly.
5. If you are using a hair filler in conjunction with other hair products, such as hair fibers, apply those products according to the instructions on the packaging.
6. Once you have applied the hair filler and any other products, style your hair as desired.

It’s important to follow the instructions on the hair filler packaging carefully and to use the product in moderation, as using too much can result in an unnatural or overly thick appearance. If you are unsure about how to use a hair filler, it is a good idea to consult with a stylist or a healthcare provider for guidance. 

How often should I use hair filler? 

The frequency with which you should use a hair filler will depend on the specific product you are using and the results you are looking to achieve. Some hair fillers are designed to be used daily, while others are intended to be used a few times a week. It is important to follow the instructions on the product packaging for the specific hair filler you are using to determine the recommended frequency of use.

It is also worth noting that hair fillers are generally considered a temporary solution to thinning hair, and they are not intended to treat the underlying cause of hair loss.

Who should have hair filler?

Hair filler injections can help prevent hair loss, restore hair to its original state, and nourish the scalp. Decreased blood flow to the scalp and a lack of nutrients that support hair growth can affect hair health, hair loss, and appearance. Hair filler should be done on healthy skin and nourished hair when patients have 2-3 hairs in the hair root instead of thin hair and only one hair in the hair root.

Anyone experiencing hair problems can get hair filler injections. In general:

• Those with hair loss problems
• Those with thin hair
• Those with dull-looking hair
• Those whose hair does not easily grow long.

If you do not have any problems with your hair, you can have a hair filler procedure. Having filler applied to your hair at certain intervals and following the doctor’s recommendation will protect the general health of your hair and create a more radiant appearance. 

What are the benefits of hair fillers?

Hair filler injections can have a positive impact on your problem, but hair tests must be done to find the cause of hair loss and baldness. After hair filler injections, you can easily see many advantages of hair filler. These advantages are:

• Hair looks thicker and shinier
• Increases blood circulation in the scalp
• Makes hair stronger and thicker
• Repairs hair cells and stops hair loss
• Nourishes hair
• Supports easier hair growth
• Supports new hair growth
• Strengthens hair roots
• Regenerates scalp
• Makes hair strands thicker

One of the benefits of hair filler is that it stimulates and revives weak hair roots. At the same time, the hair becomes thicker and the hair looks thicker, fuller, and healthier again. The hair and scalp are nourished with important nutrients and microcirculation is stimulated. You can see the results about 30 days after the first application. With more treatment, the result of hair filler injections becomes better and the result lasts longer and is more impressive. 

Is hair filler treatment an alternative to hair transplantation?

Hair filler treatments and hair transplantation are two different types of treatments that are used to address thinning hair or hair loss.

Hair filler treatments, also known as hair fibers or hair concealers, are products that are applied to the scalp to create the appearance of thicker, fuller hair. They can come in different forms, such as powders, sprays, or creams, and are often applied to the scalp using a brush or comb. Hair fillers are generally considered a temporary solution to thinning hair and are not intended to treat the underlying cause of hair loss.

On the other hand, hair transplantation is a surgical procedure in which hair follicles are removed from one area of the scalp (the donor site) and transplanted to a balding or thinning area (the recipient site). Hair transplantation is a more permanent solution to hair loss and can be an effective treatment for individuals with male or female pattern baldness, alopecia, or scarring on the scalp.

In general, hair filler treatments are not considered an alternative to hair transplantation. However, they can be used in combination with hair transplantation or other hair loss treatments to enhance the appearance of the hair. If you are experiencing thinning hair or hair loss and are considering treatment options, it is important to speak with a healthcare provider or a dermatologist to determine the cause and discuss the best treatment plan for your individual needs.

Does hair filler completely stop hair loss?

Hair filler injection is one of the most advanced techniques for treating hair loss, thinning, and restoring hair health. This treatment stops hair loss and regenerates the scalp, both in women and men, and also restores healthy hair. However, after the treatment, hair loss does not completely stop. This is because hair loss can be a problem that is encountered seasonally or permanently. It does not completely stop severe hair loss, although it is not completely effective.  

What are the FDA-approved drugs that can prevent hair loss?

There are several drugs that have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of hair loss. These drugs are typically used to treat male or female pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia.

The FDA has approved the following drugs for the treatment of hair loss:

• Minoxidil (brand name: Rogaine): This topical medication is applied to the scalp twice daily to stimulate hair growth and slow hair loss. It is available in a foam or liquid form and is applied to the scalp using a dropper or applicator.
• Finasteride (brand name: Propecia): This oral medication is taken daily to inhibit the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to hair loss.
• Dutasteride (brand name: Avodart): This oral medication is taken daily to inhibit the production of DHT and is used to treat an enlarged prostate gland as well as male pattern baldness.
• Ketoconazole (brand name: Nizoral): This topical medication is used to treat fungal infections of the scalp and can also help to stimulate hair growth.

It is important to note that these drugs are only effective for treating male or female pattern baldness and are not effective for other types of hair loss. If you are experiencing thinning hair or hair loss and are considering treatment options, it is important to speak with a healthcare provider or a dermatologist to determine the cause and discuss the best treatment plan for your individual needs. 

Hair filler price

The price of hair filler varies depending on whether the person needs one or more sessions in the package. Fixed prices are not mentioned on the internet. It is not possible to give a clear price for hair filler in Istanbul.

The treatment method of hair filler injections, the technique applied, the professionalism of the doctor, the clinic equipment, and the content can affect the price. It is not correct to quote prices on beauty and health sites because there are special pricing laws on the websites of the Ministry of Health. Therefore, it will be useful for those who will have this procedure to contact our clinic to get information by calling +902122414624 or by clicking here to contact us via WhatsApp.

Forehead Reduction with Hair Transplantation in Women

by asmed | Nov 11, 2022 | Blog

Forehead reduction with hair transplantation in women is a procedure performed on people who are uncomfortable with the openness in the forehead area that develops due to hair loss as a result of genetic factors or various ailments. The openness in the forehead area, which develops especially due to aging and the loss of hair, can cause disharmony in the person’s facial features, disrupt the golden ratio and cause psychological problems and low self-confidence over time. The solution to these situations lies in the forehead reduction procedure with hair transplantation in women. 

Forehead reduction with hair transplantation in women

– Quartz Clinique

What is done in forehead reduction with hair transplantation in women?

During the forehead reduction procedure with hair transplantation in women, the hairline can be moved forward by about 1-3 cm in a single session by using the FUE hair transplantation technique. In this way, a more aesthetic and proportional forehead appearance is obtained.

How is Forehead Reduction With Hair Transplantation Performed İn Women?

Then, if there is no obstacle for the forehead reduction procedure in terms of the patient’s general health status, the hair transplantation procedure is decided.

Before the procedure, both the forehead area where the transplantation will be performed and the donor area where healthy hair follicles will be taken are anesthetized with local anesthesia. In this way, the patient does not experience any pain or ache during the procedure and completes the procedure comfortably. After anesthesia, the hair in the nape area, which is usually determined as the donor area, is shaved. 

Afterwards, hair follicles are taken from this area one by one, two by two or three by three with the FUE technique. These hair follicles are placed through the channels opened in the forehead area where the transplantation will be performed and the planned hairline is maintained. During the placement of the hair follicles, it is very important to transplant in the direction of hair growth in order for the result to look natural. The forehead reduction procedure, which is performed by taking all these details into consideration, is completed in a single session. 

Who Are Suitable Candidates For Forehead Reduction With Hair Transplantation?

• The forehead area is wider than it should be and disrupts the golden ratio on the face,
• Hair loss due to genetic factors, various diseases or intense stress, resulting in an opening in the forehead area,
• Structurally, the hair is behind the baseline,
• The one who has to constantly hide the width in the forehead area with a haircut to cover it and cannot use her hair in the desired cut,
• People who wear a headscarf and have to deal with the problem of a wide forehead and are uncomfortable with the general appearance of the face,
• People with low self-confidence due to their current forehead appearance and whose psychology is negatively affected,
• Seeking solutions to boost self-confidence,
• Individuals who are over 18 years of age and have completed their development,
• Women who do not have any obstacles for forehead narrowing with hair transplantation in terms of general health status, are suitable candidates for this procedure.

What Should Be Considered During Forehead Reduction with Hair Transplantation in Women?

In order to achieve a natural appearance in the forehead and general facial appearance of the patient after the forehead reduction with hair transplantation, it is very important to pay attention to the direction of growth of the existing hair during the transplantation process and to perform the transplantation in this direction.

Again, it should be ensured that the hair transplanted to reduce the forehead appearance during the procedure is the same color as the existing hair in the forehead area of the patient. For example, if the hair in this area is gray, it is impossible to achieve a natural and complete appearance if the hair taken from the donor area and transplanted is black.

Since the forehead area is one of the most noticeable parts of the face, it is important that the hair transplantation procedure is performed by an expert aesthetic and plastic surgeon. The smallest mistake or carelessness during the procedure can cause irreversible and undesirable results, disrupting the general symmetry of the face and leading to an unnatural appearance.

How to Determine the Hairline for Forehead Reduction in Women?

The main point considered when determining the hairline in the forehead reduction procedure is to ensure the golden ratio throughout the face. It is very important to maintain the 3/1 ratio to ensure this ratio, which is usually perfect. In addition, in order to achieve a natural appearance after the forehead reduction procedure, the age of the patient should be taken into consideration and a hairline should be created based on the age of the patient. For example, in older patients, the hairline usually starts further back. If this situation is not taken into consideration during the forehead reduction procedure, it is possible to have an unnatural appearance after the procedure. 

Likewise, if the person’s forehead area has opened up and thus widened due to hair loss, it is better to proceed by remaining faithful to its original state instead of completely covering the opened area for a natural appearance while determining the hairline before the forehead reduction procedure for these people.

When Does New Hair Grow After Forehead Reduction?

Just like the shock shedding after hair transplantation, the hair transplanted during the forehead reduction procedure also sheds after the procedure. After 2-3 months of transplantation, healthy and permanent hair begins to grow. These hairs are exactly the same as the person’s original hair and provide a natural coverage of the forehead area.

What Kind Of A Process Awaits The Patient After The Forehead Reduction Procedure?

• After the forehead reduction procedure, crusting or small pimples may appear in the areas where the transplantation was performed, as it occurs after normal hair transplantation. 
• After the procedure, the area where the transplantation was performed should be carefully protected until the period when permanent and healthy hair grows and movements that will damage the newly transplanted hair follicles should be avoided. 
• It is quite normal for the newly transplanted hair to shed, especially within 2 months after the procedure. This situation completely disappears with the growth of new hair in the following period. 
• Patients who want to have stronger and permanent hair strands after the forehead reduction procedure can get help from hair mesotherapy for this. 
• After 2-3 months after the procedure, patients can have their hair dyed and styled with the completion and growth of the permanent hair that starts to grow. In this way, a complete appearance is provided in the patient’s hair.

What is the Price of Forehead Reduction with Hair Transplantation in Women?

The price of forehead reduction with hair transplantation in women varies considerably depending on the existing opening in the forehead area of the patient, the amount of transplantation needed, the experience of the doctor and the quality of the clinic.For this reason, our patients whose hair in the forehead area is lost due to genetic or other factors and who experience an opening and enlargement in this area and who are looking for a solution before this situation progresses further can call our clinic at 02122414624 and get detailed information and make an appointment.

Hair Transplant Correction

by asmed | Nov 2, 2022 | Blog

Hair Transplant Correction , It is very important that the hair transplant operation is performed by a doctor who has received medical training in this field and has gained experience for a long time. Treatment should be carried out by paying attention to sterilization conditions in the clinical setting. After the treatment, individuals should listen to the recommendations of their doctors and take the necessary precautions to avoid complications. If all these conditions are not met, hair transplant correction surgery may be needed. This means a new operation to be performed for the correction of hair transplantation.

What is a corrective hair transplant?

The reason why hair transplant treatment, one of the most popular aesthetic procedures of recent years, has become so popular is that more and more individuals realize how natural and healthy the results look. Hair transplantation treatment, which is a permanent solution to the problem of baldness not only in men but also in women, can sometimes cause undesirable results when performed by the wrong people. In this case, of course, people are not helpless. Hair transplant correction treatment is applied to individuals who encounter such a problem, and the problem is eliminated.

How is the Process?

The first thing to do after an unsuccessful hair transplant treatment with an undesirable result is to determine why the procedure failed. In some cases, individuals who are not suitable for hair transplantation may be treated. Sometimes, the individual’s failure to pay attention to the doctor’s warnings leads to complications. Before getting this treatment, you should make sure that the environment where you will have the procedure is a real clinic and you should learn the training information of your doctor.

For this, you can examine the online comments of people who have been treated in the clinic you have visited before. You should also pay attention to whether your doctor really cares about what you say when planning the procedure. This process is done on your body and should appeal to your liking. If you suspect that there will be a procedure that you will not be satisfied with, you should change your clinic. Although a good result is obtained medically, the individual’s satisfaction with the result means that the procedure is successful. Hair transplantation cannot be said to be successful when the individual is not satisfied.

Reasons for Failure in Hair Transplantation

Clinical Causes

Hair follicles are sensitive structures that can be damaged when taken improperly for hair transplantation. If they are not kept in the appropriate solution, these roots may die or infect the individual. For this reason, you should do a rigorous research about where you will have the procedure done before the operation.

Individual Reasons

The doctor talks about what he should pay attention to during the recovery process of the individual. All of these elements should really be taken care of by the individual. Otherwise, more serious symptoms than expected such as bleeding and excessive edema may be seen during the healing process and these symptoms may lead to complications. In order to prevent this situation, the warnings specified by the doctor should be applied completely.

Hair Loss

It may take 1 year for the result to be seen after the hair transplant treatment is applied. In this process, untreated hair experiences a shedding caused by the testosterone hormone. Then, the result may be in a way that the individual does not expect in the hair that grows. This situation can be controlled depending on the foresight of the surgeon performing the operation. An experienced surgeon should be careful about how much hair can be lost after the procedure and whether the individual will get the desired result as a result of the procedure. If the individual thinks that he does not have enough thick hair, the procedure can be performed again.

Is There a Solution for a Failed Hair Transplant?

Certainly! In the treatment of a failed hair transplant, a hair transplant can be done again. This process is called hair transplant correction treatment or hair transplant revision. In order to carry out this procedure, there must still be a sufficient number of hair follicle donors in the individual.

Previously transplanted hairs cannot be removed and replanted. For this reason, it is necessary to determine the donor area again and repeat the procedure exactly. New hair follicles can be easily placed between sparse hairs.

How to Fix Hairline?

In order to correct the hairline, grafts must be placed between the hairs. Placing the hair follicles at the right angle will make the image much better.

If your hair looks artificial, is very sparse, if you have not achieved the expected result from the procedure, all these problems can be eliminated with hair transplant correction treatment.

Is Getting Treatment at an Expensive Place a Solution?

Individuals think that paying more when they want to spend money on health shows that they are in a more reliable clinical environment. However, this is not true. The success criterion of the procedure is not about the cost, but how experienced the doctor is.

In our hair transplant operations in Istanbul, we always strive for individuals to achieve the results they want the most. First, we perform a detailed examination and health screening of the individual. Then we learn what kind of result he expects. By planning the process accordingly, we achieve the exact result that the individual wants.

FAQ

What is Your Hair Loss Level?

In order to determine the level of individuals with hair loss problems according to the Norwood scale, their hair should be examined by a physician in a clinical setting. According to this scale, the number of grafts required varies between 1000 and 7000 grafts. As the number of grafts to be applied increases, the duration of the procedure is also longer.

What Should You Expect From Hair Transplantation?

Hair transplant results truly satisfy individuals. Thanks to the completely permanent results, the individual has bushy, healthy, shiny and natural hair.

After the healing process is over, the transplanted hair follicles grow longer, can be cut, and all hairdressing procedures can be performed, just like natural hair.

In addition, individuals continue to use their new hair for life by paying attention to a healthy diet, protecting hair health. It should not be forgotten that vitamin B7 (biotin) is very important for hair health.

Surgical Design On Norwood 6-7 Degree Hair Loss?

After controlling an individual according to the Norwood scale, it is determined at what level the problem is experienced. Generally, there is sufficient donor area in individuals up to the 5th degree. However, sufficient donor hair follicles cannot be found in an individual with 6 and 7 levels of baldness. In this case, the individual can be transplanted with stem cells. Thanks to stem cells, a large number of hair follicles can be produced in the laboratory. When the sufficient number of hair follicles is reached, hair transplantation is performed with procedures such as DHI or FUE.

What is FUE Hair Transplantation?

In FUE hair transplantation, local anesthesia is first applied to the donor area of ​​the individual. Follicles are then collected from this area. According to the Norwood scale, when the sufficient number of grafts is reached, the procedure to be performed in the donor area is completed.

Then, local anesthesia is applied to the hair transplantation area of ​​the individual to apply the other stage. After the anesthesia shows its effect, channels are opened on the scalp using the micro motor technique. Hair follicles are placed in these tiny channels as a final step.

What is DHI Hair Transplantation?

In DHI hair transplantation, a special tool called CHOI is used in all process steps. With this tool, which is similar to a sewing machine needle, the hair follicles collected from the donor area are less damaged. The local anesthesia procedure is performed first on the donor area and then on the operation area, as in the FUE procedure.

According to the Norwood scale, when the sufficient number of grafts is reached, the hair follicles are placed directly in the area to be transplanted with the help of CHOI, without opening the channel. The entire processing time is much shorter as there is no channel opening.

Norwood 6-7 Degree Hair Loss Surgical Approach On Young People

When young individuals experience male pattern hair loss, they are more adversely affected than older individuals. This is because baldness makes them look much older than they are. Fortunately, hair transplantation is a procedure suitable for all adults. The result of the procedure is permanent for life.

When the Norwood Scale grading is done in young individuals, the procedure can be easily performed up to the 5th degree thanks to the donor area determined in the individual’s own body. According to the Norwood Scale, in young individuals with 6 or 7 level baldness problems, the whole process can be planned using the hair follicle production technique with stem cells.

Stem Cell Production in the Laboratory

The main task of stem cells is to repair damaged tissue in the body of the organism and to produce healthy new cells instead of dead cells. When individuals do not have enough hair follicles, it is possible to produce hair follicles under laboratory conditions with stem cells taken from their own body. Hair follicles produced in sufficient numbers are ready for hair transplantation. Hair follicles produced in the laboratory have the same characteristics as the hair follicles taken from the donor area.
