Hairline

A receding hairline can start to develop in men as they age. In many cases, hair loss or alopecia can be treated with surgery or medications. Women are more likely to experience thinning hair than a receding hair line. However, it is still possible for women to have a receding hair line. Some examples include: frontal fibrosing alopecia and traction alopecia.

What Are The Symptoms Of A Receding Hairline?

For men, a receding hairline can start any time after the end of puberty. By the time many men who reach their late 30s, they have a receding hairline. The process usually starts above the temples. From there, the hairline moves back across the top of the head. This often leaves a ring of hair around the top of a bare scalp. Thinning hair may continue to grow on top.

A receding hairline can also begin above the temples, but hair in the middle may stay closer to the forehead. This V-shaped hair growth in front is often called a “widow’s peak”. The sides and back of the head can eventually become bare, though many man are usually left with some hair unless they shave it all off. In women, the sides and back are typically spared,but the part widens over the top of the scalp and thins considerably.

What Does The Graft Means In Hair Transplantation?

In hair transplant, it is the fundamental structure that is extracted from the back of the head and transplanted on the areas with hair loss. Inside of the graft, there are hair follicles and an amount of skin. Graft types vary according to the number of hair follicles and the amount of skin they contain.

Hair follicles exist inside of the graft as sets of 1, 2, 3 and 4. They are not hair stem cells. Hair follicles constitute an area for the living cells that produce and grow hair. The transplantation is in fact a graft operation that is meaning to transplant from your own.

In hair transplant, grafts are always taken from the individual himself. They cannot be legally taken from someone else. If taking graft from someone else is requested, tissue compatibility test is required.

Hair Analysis

People who consider having a hair transplantation are required to have a consultation with the medical team of HairextreM. During the examination, structure of hair in the transplant area and density of the donor area are examined with hair analysis tools. How much hair the person needs and how much hair can be extracted from the nape area is calculated by looking at these results and a plan is made accordingly.

If the person has any history of illness or a serious health condition, these are evaluated during the general examination. The person’s hair structure, color, hair strand thickness, density of the donor area, level of the hair loss and the person’s expectations should be evaluated. The rate of the hair loss can differ in individualy.

The number of hair grafts that will be transplanted should be calculated beforehand according to the level of hair loss. The density of the transplant may seem to be less in those with fine hair strands or fair hair ,compared to the ones with thick hair strands or dark hair colour. For this reason, it would provide more aesthetically satisfying results to plan a higher density transplant for the ones in the former group.

All of these analyses are important factors to affect the success of the hair transplant. Planning and transplantation should be carried out with considering the results of these analyses. If the individuals from abroad who could not have a face to face meeting with doctors should send us clear photograps of their nape and hair loss areas as a prior information for our doctors can calculate to how much hair you need to transplant approximately.

Fue Method

The follicular unit extraction is the latest method used worldwide in the field of hair transplantation. Turkey is among the countries that are successfully implemented in the world by using this method because this technique allows to obtain a more natural result unlike the previous methods.

The FUE technique consists in taking, with the help of a motorized rotary punch (0.6-0.7-0.7.5 or 0.8 mm diameter), in the occipital and temporal donor zone, units follicles in order to transplant them directly to the bald region .Although the quality of follicular sampling is directly dependent operator, the improvements in instrumentation have allowed to increase the speed of removal of the grafst and significantly reduce losses of follicular units and also provides a variable amount of micro-grafts or ultra-micro-grafts of each 1 to 4 hairs . By using this method at one can take 2500 up to 5500 hair follicles at a time.

The Strengths Of The FUE Technique

Faster regrowth and natural hair
Total absence of scar
The best quality and price ratio in Turkey compared to the number of implanted follicles

For Who?

FUE hair transplant is recommended for patients who do not wish to have scars and for those with mild baldness. It is also recommended for those who do not have a large donor area or who have a tendency to extreme scars, or those who want to have a very short haircut.

Before The Intervention

Before the procedure it is very important to do a preoperative consultation, during which baldness is evaluated, the information is transmitted to the patient, and medical photographs are taken with the doctor to define the needs of the patient.

It is advisable not to consume aspirin or anti-inflammatory as well as stimulants such as coffee or alcohol 48 hours before surgery.

Anesthesia

The FUE Hair Transplant takes a place under the local anesthesia, but if the patient does not want to feel any pain the sedation can be performed which is a type of anesthesia.

Duration Of The Operation

The duration of the intervention is approximately 8 to 10 hours and it depens on the extent of the area to be covered. The patient is led to lie down throughout the procedure. Breaks will be given to the patient to eat and rest.

Full Shave

Complete shaving of the head is necessary if the number of grafts to be removed is high. In practice we recommend a complete shave of the donor and recipient zone if the patient needs more than 2500 grafts

First Step

The Follicle Sampling: The average duration is 2 hours

The doctor places the punch around a follicle and makes a small rotary movement using a micro-instruments while maintaining a slight pressure. This has the effect of separating the follicle from the scalp. Then the extracted follicles are sorted and classified according to the number of hair they contain. The doctor's assistant creates rows of follicles with 1 hair, 2 hair, 3 hair etc. This step is very important because all the follicles have a defined function. One hair follicles will be used to recreate the frontal line and to intervene in areas close to the face where the density is progressive.

Multiple follicles are used to provide density and will not be implanted in the frontal line .Therefore it is essential for the doctor to know the number of follicles obtained and their nature. This allows it to adopt an implementation strategy based on the number obtained and areas to be restored. In the FUE hair transplant the grafts are extracted one by one, and checked their quality and then stored in a specific preservation solution for grafts.

Second Step

Opening Of The Channels: The average duration is 1 hour

After having decided with the patient the frontal line and the zones of setting of the follicles the doctor opens the channels. It is the most important step in the intervention because in this stage the direction of the hair is defined, more than that of the open channels in a natural way equals a natural result.

Third Step

Implantation Of The Follicles: The average duration is 3 hours.

In this step we deposit the follicles taken in the first step into the open channels in the second step so that the operation touches this end.

FUE Technique’s Advantages

Virtually Invisible Scars

Instead of making a linear scar on the back of your head, like FUT, FUE involves making very small, round punches to the back of your head. Each punch consists of a follicular unit (a group of one to four hairs). These punches leave small dot-shaped scars on your head, unlike the long linear scars from FUT that are harder to hide. You’ll be able to easily conceal these FUE scars, even with short haircuts.

Minimal Pain After The Procedure

Since small punches are made into your skin, the pain after the procedure is minimal. During FUT, an elliptical incision is made into the skin down to where the hair bulbs reside. This incision requires sutures or staples and can cause discomfort for several days. For FUE, you won’t even need to pain medication for post-operation. However, all patients are given medication to ease the pain.

Less Downtime

Along with less pain, the small punches require less time to heal than linear scars. No stitches or scalpels are used, so the donor wounds will heal within just a few days.

Ensures A Natural-Looking Hairline

FUE leave you with a natural-looking hairline and thicker head of hair. Advancements in transplant technology ensure that your transplanted hair looks completely natural

DHI Method

Hair transplantation which has been applied in a healthy way for many years, offers services to patients with various transplant methods.

Although the use of the FUT method is much reduced. It continues to be used in some centers. The fue method, on the other hand, continues to be widely and successfully applied.. The feature that distinguishes the DHI method from the FUE method is that the sections known as the transplant and channel stage are performed together.

The DHI method has been practiced in our center for a long time. We often use this method, especially in patients who do not want to shave their hair. Hair transplant surgery is performed by direct transplantation of the graft inserted into the needle by the hair transplant surgeon. But it is a more expensive method than the FUE method because a wider team is needed and because of the difference in equipment such as the CHOI pen used.

It is a painless and pain-free aesthetic operation.
It definitely doesn't require stitches.
The results are much more natural.
The healing process is very short. Daily activities can be started immediately after the operation.
New hair; since the hair follicles on the back of the neck are of origin, they are more alive and more permanent.
