HAIR TRANSPLANTION
Be Your Best: Reclaim Your Hair, Redefine Your Confidence.
Hair Transplantation
Hair transplantation is a highly effective and permanent solution for both men and women experiencing hair loss or thinning. This advanced surgical procedure involves meticulously transferring healthy hair follicles from dense donor areas, typically the back or sides of the head, to the balding or thinning regions of the scalp. The aim is to restore natural hair growth, density, and ultimately, your confidence and aesthetic appearance.
The significant impact of hair loss on self-esteem is well-understood. Hair transplantation provides a powerful way to not only regain lost hair but also to revitalize one's overall self-image. Over the years, hair transplantation techniques have evolved considerably, offering more refined and natural-looking results.
At Men's Clinic Istanbul, we offer the most advanced and proven hair transplantation techniques, including:
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): A minimally invasive method where individual hair follicles are extracted directly from the donor area using micro-punches and then implanted into the recipient area. This technique leaves no linear scar.
Sapphire FUE: An enhanced FUE technique that utilizes special sapphire-tipped blades for creating the recipient channels. These ultra-sharp, smooth blades allow for more precise, smaller, and denser incisions, leading to faster healing and superior, more natural-looking results.
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation): This technique uses a specialized pen-like instrument (Choi Implanter Pen) that allows for simultaneous extraction and implantation of hair follicles without prior channel opening. This method offers greater control over hair angle, direction, and depth, resulting in very dense and natural outcomes with reduced trauma and faster recovery.
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): Also known as the strip method, this involves surgically removing a small strip of skin from the donor area, from which hair follicles are then extracted and transplanted. While effective, it leaves a linear scar.
Robotic FUE: An automated version of the FUE technique where a robotic system assists in the extraction and sometimes implantation of hair follicles, ensuring high precision and consistency.
Choosing the most appropriate method depends on various individual factors such as the extent of your hair loss, the quality and density of your donor hair, and your specific aesthetic goals. Our expert team at Men's Clinic Istanbul will conduct a thorough assessment and recommend the best technique tailored to your needs.
Post-Operative Care and Recovery:
Adhering to post-operative care instructions is crucial for optimal results and a smooth recovery:
Initial Care: Avoid washing the hair or touching the scalp directly on the first day after transplantation to protect newly implanted grafts.
Washing: Use lukewarm water and avoid high-pressure water streams during showers in the initial weeks. Gentle washing techniques will be demonstrated by our team.
Styling Products: Refrain from using hair styling products like gel or spray for a specified period to prevent irritation and ensure proper healing.
Lifestyle Adjustments: During the recovery period, it's advisable to avoid dusty environments, reduce alcohol and cigarette consumption, and refrain from strenuous physical activities that can increase blood pressure or sweating.
Healing Process: The recovery process typically involves temporary redness, swelling, and crusting in the treated areas, which are normal and will resolve gradually over time.
Hair Growth: Within a few weeks to months, the transplanted hairs will shed, followed by the emergence of new, healthy hair growth. Significant improvement is usually visible within 6 to 9 months, with full and final results typically achieved within 12 to 18 months post-procedure.
Complementary Hair & Facial Hair Treatments
Beyond hair transplantation, Men's Clinic Istanbul offers a range of treatments that complement hair restoration efforts or address specific facial hair concerns.
Mesotherapy (for Hair and Skin)
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical treatment involving the injection of a customized cocktail of vitamins, enzymes, peptides, growth factors, and antioxidants directly into the skin or scalp. For hair, this procedure aims to stimulate hair follicles, improve scalp health, and promote stronger hair growth. When applied to facial skin, it rejuvenates, reduces wrinkles, improves skin quality, and addresses various cosmetic issues like cellulite. The procedure typically involves a local anesthetic cream and micro-sized needles, with substances like Vitamin A, Vitamin C, amino acids, hyaluronic acid, and growth factors commonly used.
PRP Treatment (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatment is an advanced regenerative therapy that utilizes the patient's own blood components to stimulate healing and growth. In this procedure, platelet-rich plasma, concentrated from the patient's blood, is extracted and then injected back into the target area, such as the scalp or skin. For hair, PRP promotes hair regeneration, stimulates hair growth, and helps prevent further hair loss by delivering essential growth factors directly to the follicles. It is also highly effective for improving skin elasticity and texture, enhancing skin regeneration, aiding wound healing, and offering non-surgical solutions for certain injuries.
Beard Transplantation
Beard transplantation is a specialized surgical procedure designed to enhance facial hair density, fill in patchy areas, or create a completely new beard line. This procedure involves harvesting healthy hair follicles, typically from the back of the head or sometimes the chest, using precise techniques like FUE, and then meticulously transplanting them into the desired beard, mustache, or sideburn regions. Performed under local anesthesia, the procedure is safe, generally quick (4 to 5 hours depending on desired density), and offers a relatively fast recovery. Beard transplantation allows individuals to achieve their ideal beard style and density, significantly enhancing facial aesthetics and overall confidence.
