DHI(Direct Hair Implantation)
Direct Hair Implantation is a modern hair transplantation technique where individual hair follicles are transplanted directly into the scalp. This method utilizes a specially designed instrument called a Choi pen. DHI can be seen as a derivative of the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method, and both techniques involve transplanting hair follicles from one donor area to another. The most important feature of DHI hair transplantation is the immediate implantation of the hair follicles, which accelerates the transplantation process, resulting in a more natural appearance and accelerated healing.
Sapphire FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is an advanced hair transplantation technique that uses sapphire blades instead of steel or other materials for incisions during the transplantation process. These blades, with their V-shaped design, are incredibly precise and allow for smaller, finer incisions, which are crucial for successful hair follicle transplantation.
Prp
therapy
In recent years, tissue taken from the patient's own body has begun to be used in aesthetic procedures, such as fat tissue, stem cells, and hair transplants. PRP, which is rapidly gaining popularity, is among these procedures. PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is currently used for fine lines and wrinkles, skin rejuvenation and renewal, skin volume increase, wound healing, acne scars, hair loss, stretch marks, melasma, post-hair transplantation, and post-laser procedures. It can be used alone or in conjunction with Botox, laser, microneedling, and cosmetic surgery.
Stem cell
therapy
Stem cell therapy for hair loss is a procedure that essentially involves preparing healthy, strong hair follicles in a special suspension and transferring them to problem scalp areas. The resulting solution is injected into areas with thinning hair, promoting hair growth in these areas. At the same time, the increased nutrition to the scalp reduces hair loss over time. This medical treatment is called Autologous Hair Stem Cell Transfer.
Post-Hair Transplant Process and Things to Consider
According to data from the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, hair transplants worldwide increased by 157% between 2008 and 2019. With this high demand, every individual who undergoes a hair transplant begins to wonder when their hair will regrow. Hair transplant recovery is a step-by-step process. The process and precautions vary from person to person, depending on the technique used, the expertise of the hair transplant surgeon, and how closely you adhere to your doctor's instructions during recovery.
Month by Month Process After Hair Transplant
The post-hair transplant healing and new hair growth process progresses at different stages each month. Hair loss is normal in the first few months, and the healing process becomes more noticeable. In later months, the results become more noticeable as new hair begins to appear.
The First 10 Days After Hair Transplant
The first 10 days after a hair transplant are among the most critical periods of the recovery process. Post-operative dressings are applied immediately and are usually removed the following day. Mild pain and swelling are normal during this period. Painkillers and anti-inflammatory medications recommended by your doctor should be used regularly. Scabbing and redness are also common symptoms. Care should be taken in the transplant area, avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous physical activity. Sun exposure should be avoided and head protection should be worn. Hair washing instructions should be followed and a healthy diet should be followed.
1st Month After Hair Transplant
The first month after a hair transplant is a period when new hair begins to grow and the healing process progresses. Some of the transplanted hair may fall out during this time, but there's no need to worry, as this loss creates space for new hair growth. Scabbing and redness may still persist. It's important to wash and use hair care products. Itching may also occur, but avoid touching the scalp. A healthy diet and a hygienic environment are important for accelerating healing.
The First 3 Months After Hair Transplant
The first three months are a period when the healing process after hair transplantation becomes more pronounced. During this time, the transplanted hair gradually begins to grow. Shedding may continue, but this is normal. Scabbing and redness will also diminish, but it may take some time to fully resolve. Itching may also subside, but touching the scalp should still be avoided. A healthy diet and a hygienic environment should support the healing process.
4th Month After Hair Transplant
The fourth month after the hair transplant marks a crucial point in the healing process. During this phase, the transplanted hair usually begins to grow and thicken significantly. New hair growth becomes more noticeable, especially from the end of the third month onwards. Previous hair loss usually subsides, and the hair begins to appear healthier. However, some areas may still be sparse, which is normal. Redness and crusting in the transplanted area should also significantly diminish. During this period, it's important to regularly use hair care products and maintain your scalp as recommended by your doctor.
The First 6 Months After Hair Transplant
The first six months after a hair transplant comprise a significant portion of the recovery process, and significant improvements in hair growth are observed. During this period, the transplanted hair generally continues to grow and thicken significantly. The density of the hair gradually increases, and the sparseness in the transplanted area decreases. However, some areas may still not achieve complete coverage, and this is normal. By the sixth month after the transplant, the hair generally reaches the desired density and natural appearance. However, the full results usually appear after a year.
Hair Transplant 1 Year and Beyond
The period of one year and beyond after a hair transplant is when the full results are visible and the hair reaches the desired appearance. During this period, the transplanted hair usually reaches its maximum length and the scalp completes its healing process. After one year, the hair generally appears fuller and more natural. The transplanted hair blends better with the natural hair, and thinning in the transplanted area becomes minimal. During this period, hair care and regular checkups are crucial. For long-term success and hair health, it's important to follow your doctor's recommendations and maintain regular hair care.
