Hair Transplantation




Many factors such as aging, hormonal changes and a family history of baldness can cause hair loss. The earlier the hair loss begins, the faster the baldness will be observed. Hair loss may also occur after burns and traumas, in this case the surgical intervention is for reconstructive purposes and the costs can be covered by the health insurance.
Some of the causes for hair loss and baldness are; poor health of the scalp, vitamin deficiencies, dandruff, and even wearing a hat for too long

Patients who are candidates for hair transplantation should have healthy hair on the back and sides of their heads to be used as a donor area. Other factors such as hair color, degree of hardness, wavy and curly also affect the result of the invention to be made. It should also be remembered that this procedure is not a suitable option for patients with very little hair.

 Women’s Hair Loss

Approximately one in every 5 women experiences hair loss for reasons such as old age, illness, and hormonal changes that occur after menopause. In women, there is no patch-style hair loss, as in men. On the contrary, a widespread loss across the entire scalp occurs. To overcome this problem, some women use wigs or hair extensions. Some, on the other hand, use certain drugs that are applied superficially to the hair. The effects of these drugs vary depending on the person, but they are usually aimed at preventing hair loss without stimulating new hair growth.

 

Since the blood flow to the scalp will increase after strenuous activities, bleeding may occur in the areas where hair transplantation is performed, so you should avoid strenuous exercises for 3 weeks. Some doctors also do not recommend sexual activity until 10 days after surgery.

Many patients who have had a hair transplant see with horror that their transplanted hair has been shed about 6 weeks after the surgery. It should be noted that this is normal and is almost always temporary. After hair loss, it will take 5-6 weeks for the hair to regrow.
