Hair Transplant Operation
Hair transplantation is performed by placing healthy hair follicles taken from the nape and upper ear areas on the bald area. The hair on the nape of the neck and above the ears is used as a donor area because it does not fall out due to its genetic characteristics. These hair follicles grow healthy and strong where they are transplanted.
It is performed in four stages, each with different importance. Success in hair transplantation is proportional to the experience and competence of the transplant team. Each stage of this operation, which is completely manual labor, is carried out by the expert of the stage.
- Analysis
- Health Tests and Anesthesia
- Donor Recruitment
- Opening of Micro-Channels
- Placement of Grafts
- Dressing
Analysis
The specialist looks at the bald area and donor area and decides on the number of grafts needed and the suitability of the donor area. He draws the starting line of the area to be transplanted in accordance with your natural hairline and draws the boundaries of the area to be transplanted. This analysis is performed 2 times before and 2 times after shaving. This repetition is important for the most natural look. After your hair is shaved, the donor is taken according to the decisions taken.
Health Tests and Anesthesia
A blood sample is taken from your finger and analyzed for Hepatitis B-C and other diseases. As Regal Clinic, we ask our customers about their disease status before they come; our priority is your health. Please tell us if you have undergone a serious operation or if you have an ongoing illness or medication that you are constantly taking. To protect our team and other patients, we do not perform procedures on Hepatitis B-C patients (we are sorry for this, but health is important).
Anesthesia is performed after the results of the tests. With anesthesia, the whole operation will be completely painless.
Donor Recruitment
Depending on the number of hair follicles (grafts) to be transplanted, the grafts are collected from a large area with a micro motor. The important point here is to harvest in a way that does not disturb the natural appearance of your neck. If your neck is not sufficient as a donor, a donor is taken from under the chin as a beard. Only hair and beard can be used as donors. Chest or shoulder hair is never used. These grafts are separated, counted and sterilized by the expert team with a hygienic system. In this process, another specialist opens the micro channels.
Opening Micro Ducts
The most important stage in the success rate of the transplanted hair and the natural appearance of the hair and forehead line is the micro channels. This process is done by the chief of the team. Micro channels are opened as much as the collected hair follicles (no channel is opened in DHI Hair Transplant method, see DHI Method). As Regal Clinic, we use Sapphire Tip in this process. This is an effective material for more frequent hair transplantation and healing time of the transplanted area.
Placement of Grafts
The collected and sterilized hair follicles are placed in micro channels. This is quite difficult and the longest stage of the operation. There are 2 important factors for this procedure to be successful; experience and time. We usually perform this procedure with 3, at least 2 specialists. This speeds up the return of the grafts to their natural area and affects their healthy existence and strong growth.
Dressing
And it’s over. The process ends with the complete placement of the grafts. The pre-operative anesthesia is terminated, the dressing is applied after the necessary controls and the donor area is covered with a medical bandage. This process is repeated the next day.
Process of Hair Transplantation
First of all, please research well; have a successful team transplant…
Hair transplantation operation involves many important factors in all stages and should be performed by an experienced team under clinical conditions with medical qualifications.
As Regal, we are a boutique hair transplant clinic. With our experienced team, we work for fewer customers but more successful hair transplant operations.
Care After Hair Transplant
The 2 stages after the operation are important factors in the success of the hair transplant result.
First 10 Days
The first 10 days are very important. The day after the operation, our team will pick you up from the hotel and bring you for check-up and dressing. Necessary checks are made, dressings are applied and rough medical bandages are removed. You will be informed about the care process and you will be given medical care products. After this procedure, you can continue your normal life.
During this period, you should never touch your hair and the transplanted area should be protected from external factors. At the end of the 10-day period, the micro channels heal and the hair follicles complete their placement. On the 11th day, you should clean your hair thoroughly with the shampoo given to you by massaging your hair very gently with your fingers. After the 12th-13th day, your head will be clean and the prominence of the operation will disappear.
The Evolution Of Hair Transplant
The transplanted hair follicles fall out within the first 3 months. Some fall out early and some late, but by the end of the 3rd month, all of them will have fallen out. The lost hair grows back naturally and strongly. You should not be anxious about hair loss in this process, this is a natural process.
Things you should pay attention to during the development process
- You should not do heavy sports
- If you use tobacco products, it is beneficial to reduce them
- You should not go into pools or water containing chemicals.
- You should not go to the sea
- When shaving, never use a razor for the cultivated area. Your barber should only shave gently with scissors.
- We recommend using baby shampoo for the first year.
And the Result
By the end of the sixth month, the hair has completed its development and significant change begins. After that, the hair will become more thick and strong, and the final result will be completed in the next 6 months.
