Hair transplantation is the process of restoring healthy, thick hair for individuals experiencing hair loss by transferring their own healthy hair follicles.

Hair loss negatively impacts a person’s physical appearance. In addition to creating an older, tired appearance, it can lead to a loss of self-confidence and have negative effects on both professional and social life. Hair loss can be remedied through hair transplantation techniques. Those who undergo hair transplantation achieve a youthful, aesthetic appearance. Their confidence is boosted, and they feel more positive. Procedures performed by hair transplant specialists using modern hair transplant techniques are comfortable and hassle-free.

Hair transplantation is the process of taking a specific number of healthy hair follicles from an area with sufficient hair and transplanting them to the area affected by hair loss. Hair loss can occur due to factors such as aging, stress, medication use, and genetic traits, and it negatively impacts a person’s quality of life. Individuals who experience hair thinning or baldness in the head area due to hair loss appear older and more tired. In addition to the negative effects on their aesthetic and physical appearance, their social and professional lives are also impacted. With hair transplantation, individuals can regain healthy, thick hair, achieving a youthful and aesthetic appearance once again.

Hair transplantation is performed on individuals who are concerned about hair loss and wish to regain thick, healthy hair. In order to undergo a hair transplant, the individual must have healthy, quality hair strands that can be used as donor hair. Not being born bald and experiencing hair loss later in life are also conditions for hair transplantation.

Different techniques are applied in hair transplantation based on the individual’s needs, hair structure, and preferences. The techniques and treatments aimed at helping individuals with hair loss achieve healthy, thick, and high-quality hair are as follows:

• FUE Technique: Before the procedure, the donor area is shaved. After the recipient and donor areas are numbed with anesthetic cream, hair follicles (in groups of one, two, or three) are taken from the donor area and transplanted into the channels opened in the recipient area. Since the channels are opened with sapphire-tipped punches, this technique is also called sapphire hair transplantation. On average, 2,000–5,000 grafts can be transplanted in a single session. FUE is the most commonly applied technique and leaves no scarring. It is a fast procedure that results in a natural outcome.
• FUT Technique: Before the procedure, the donor area is shaved and numbed with anesthetic cream, and a strip of scalp is removed. This strip is divided into small pieces and placed into the channels opened in the recipient area. Although this technique is no longer in use and leaves a scar, it can be effective for individuals with large areas of hair loss.
• DHI Technique: The DHI method does not require shaving before the procedure and is performed with sedation. Hair follicles are individually extracted from the donor area using a special pen and immediately transplanted into the recipient area without waiting. This technique takes longer than others, but because the grafts are transplanted individually, the quality of the transplant is higher.
• Stem Cell Treatment for Hair Transplantation: In this technique, stem cells taken from fat tissue or bone marrow are used to treat hair loss, under local anesthesia. The stem cells obtained through these methods are injected into the area experiencing hair loss. Stem cell therapy halts hair loss and nourishes the hair follicles, improving hair quality. On average, 60-70cc of stem cells are sufficient for the hair region. When necessary, this technique can be combined with FUE or DHI to enhance the efficiency of the hair transplant.
• Hair Mesotherapy: This method is applied to prevent hair loss and improve hair quality. Essential nutrients like vitamins and minerals are injected into specific areas of the scalp. Hair mesotherapy is applied in 4–10 sessions, resulting in stronger, shinier, and more vibrant hair.
• PRP Hair Treatment: Platelet concentrate, obtained from the individual’s own blood after certain processes, is injected into areas experiencing hair loss. The procedure is completed in 6–8 sessions with local anesthesia. PRP hair treatment can be combined with FUE or DHI techniques to help the transplanted hair grow stronger and of higher quality.
• Exosome Therapy for Hair Loss: For individuals who cannot undergo hair transplantation, exosome therapy is applied to prevent hair loss or support hair transplantation. The ready-made exosome fluid is injected into the areas experiencing hair loss. The procedure, applied in 3–5 sessions with local anesthesia, helps the individual achieve healthy, strong, and vibrant hair strands.
