Frequently Asked Questions — Hair Med Hair Transplant Center

The hair transplantation process is a process that starts with the decision of the person to have hair transplantation and completely ends about 1 year after the procedure. Hair analysis is done before hair transplantation. It is decided whether the person is a suitable candidate for hair transplantation, and if he is a suitable candidate, how many grafts will be transplanted. The duration of the operation performed with the FUE technique varies between 4 and 8 depending on the number of grafts. Since local anesthesia is applied before the procedure, no pain is felt during the operation. The person can listen to music, watch television, read newspapers and books until the end of the hair transplant.

The first few weeks and especially the first 3 days after hair transplantation are very important for successful results in hair transplantation. In this process, the person should pay attention to his head and avoid possible blows and contacts. He should wear a hat or bandana when he goes out, and stay away from unhygienic environments and external factors such as sun and rain that will come into direct contact with the hair. Particular attention should be paid to the sleeping position for the first 3 days. You should lie on your back and the hair transplant area should not come into contact with the pillow.

The transplanted hair may fall out in the first few months after the operation. This is an expected situation. Sometimes it can be poured early, sometimes it can be poured late, sometimes even not at all. It varies from person to person depending on the physiological condition. The first hair starts to grow about 3 months after hair transplantation. At the end of the 7th month, most of the transplanted hair will come out. At the end of the 1st year, all of the transplanted hair will come out.

Hair transplantation must be done in operating room conditions. This is a very important rule in hair transplantation and is a legal requirement. The Ministry of Health thought that the patient should also have a suitable infrastructure in terms of the comfort of the team and health, and it was decided that it should be done only in hospitals or surgical medicine centers.

Although the risk of hair transplantation operations is very small, it is necessary to intervene immediately in case of mishaps. In this case, hospital conditions can be life-saving. Hair transplantation is a very serious and beautiful sensory operation and no matter what, it should be worked in sterile conditions and with sterile disposable medical supplies. This is only possible in operating theaters of hospitals.

It is beneficial to do the first wash in the clinic 24-48 hours after hair transplantation. Patients can care and wash their hair once a day for 10 days with the recommended Lotion and Shampoo in order to remove the crusts formed after hair transplantation and to adapt the hair to the transplanted area. Before washing, a very thin layer of softening lotion is applied to the donor area to soften the dried blood clots without rubbing with your hands. The lotion is absorbed by the skin and softens the skin.

It is kept in this form for half an hour. Then, in the washing process, the participation of the lotion is ensured with normal washing movements in the nape area and soft movements in the planting area. Shampoo is applied by rubbing slowly. It is rinsed for a long time with clean water. With a soft towel, it is dried by making light compresses without rubbing. After 10 days, the crusts will disappear and you can easily wash your hair with your own shampoo with your own rhythm.

A successful hair transplant means getting completely organic-looking hair that is far from the male grass look. If hair transplantation is done correctly, the success rate is also very high. The success rate in FUE and FUT techniques is similar. Whichever method is applied, the success rate, education, knowledge, skills and experience of the hair transplant specialist who performs this procedure are very important. For a natural look, the experience of the team is very important in rooting, planting, determining the hairline, and giving the right direction to the hair.
