Hair loss is a common concern that affects the quality of life of many people. Hair loss can occur for various reasons such as age, genetic factors, hormonal changes, eating habits and stress. Hair loss, which is also common in women, and baldness, which is called permanent hair loss in men, are among the frequently encountered problems. Today, thanks to developing technology and modern medicine, there are effective treatment methods for hair loss problems. Hair transplant treatment methods are successfully applied in Turkey as well as worldwide. Hair transplant methods are determined in accordance with personal needs and hair structure. Hair transplant techniques, which have developed rapidly since the past, provide extremely natural and aesthetic results today.
Hair transplant is a surgical intervention performed to correct hair loss or sparse hair areas. Hair transplant techniques differ depending on the way the hair follicles are taken and placed. Currently, the two main hair transplant techniques commonly used are FUE and DHI. FUE hair transplant can be applied in two different ways, Sapphire FUE and Classic FUE. Here are the common types of hair transplant:
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method is a modern hair transplant technique in which hair follicles are taken one by one and transplanted to balding or sparse areas. In the FUE method, individual hair follicles are taken from the nape or other parts of the body. Each hair follicle is carefully removed with microsurgical instruments and then placed in balding areas.
The advantages of FUE hair transplant method, which is widely preferred among hair transplant types, are as follows:
Sapphire FUE is a FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method in which special sapphire-tipped instruments are used to extract and transplant hair follicles. In this method, sapphire-tipped instruments are used for the extraction and placement of hair follicles. Sapphire tips help the incisions to be smaller and the healing process to be faster.
Hair follicles on a strip of tissue taken from the nape area are examined under a microscope and separated into follicular units. These units are then transplanted to balding or sparse areas.
Advantages:
The FUT method comes with some disadvantages and therefore modern techniques such as FUE are preferred today. The disadvantages are as follows:
DHI is a modern method used for hair transplant. In this method, hair follicles are taken using special pens or tips called choi and transplanted directly to balding or sparse areas at the same time. Similar to the traditional FUE method, hair follicles are taken and placed individually, but in the DHI method, this process is performed in the same session.
Advantages:
Robotic hair transplant is a method in which hair transplant operation is performed by computer-controlled robots. These robots take hair follicles precisely and place them in the determined areas. Robotic systems have been developed and used to provide higher precision and accuracy in hair transplant.
Advantages:
Which hair transplant method is the best depends on a number of factors such as hair structure, degree of hair loss, skin characteristics, expectations and health status. Therefore, the best hair transplant method is determined according to individual preferences, needs and the assessment of the specialist doctor.
The majority of men have male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia (90%). This makes them suitable candidates for hair transplant. Hair loss usually occurs on the top and front of the head. Hair follicles in these areas are genetically affected by the DHT hormone. The most suitable hair follicle source for hair transplant is the donor areas on the sides and back of the head because these areas are not affected by DHT and the hair follicles are intact. The most appropriate hair transplant method for men should take into account the individual’s hair structure, degree of hair loss, hairline, scalp characteristics, age, general health status and personal preferences. In general, the two main hair transplant methods that are frequently used and effective for men are FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation).
Hair transplant for women is different compared to men because hair loss is usually diffuse and more common in women. Hair restoration in women is not about restoring the hairline or repairing baldness areas, but about restoring hair volume. The most suitable hair transplant methods for women are usually techniques such as FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation).
Factors to consider when evaluating hair transplant options for women include:
Since each patient is different, the most suitable option should be determined in consultation with a specialist hair physician.
