HAIRa TRANSPLANTATION OPERATION

Hair transplantation operation is a non-surgical procedure in which hair follicles are transferred from the donor area, i.e. the back of the scalp, to the receiving area, i.e. the bald areas to be treated.

TECHNIQUES USED IN HAIR TRANSPLANTATION

There are several key techniques used in hair transplantations:

FUE Technology

With this technology, the follicles are picked out from the donor area via the Micro Motor and transplanted into the receiving area by opening fine channels in the bald areas with precise medical forceps. The operation takes around 6-8 hours, transplanting up to 4000 follicles.

Mega FUE Technology

Mega FUE is undergone over two sessions during two consecutive days, transplanting a maximum of 8000 follicles and giving the hair more density.

Ultimate FUE

Ultimate FUE differs from FUE in terms of the medical scalpel, which is made of fine blue sapphire that prevents damage to the scalp during the picking process.

DHI Technology

The doctor opens channels in the areas of baldness that are due to be treated with Choi Pen Implanters. Then implants the extracted follicles, which are up to 3500. The doctor does all this simultaneously with one click. The whole process takes around 6-8 hours.

Mega DHI Technology

The Mega DHI technique is performed over two sessions during two consecutive days, using the Choi pens. However, with Mega DHI, a maximum of 7000 follicles are transplanted, giving the hair more density and attractiveness.

Extremely DHI Technology

Extremely DHI Technology goes through the same stages as the DHI technique. However, it enables the doctor to transplant up to 5000 follicles during 12-15 hours over only a session.

CANDIDATES FOR HAIR TRANSPLANTATION

The candidates for hair transplantation are:

1. 1. People who suffer from severe hair loss and hereditary baldness.
   2. People who have a sufficient donor area.
   3. People with good health that does not suffer from certain diseases that may impede hair transplantation.
   4. People older than 22 years of age.

TIPS BEFORE HAIR TRANSPLANTATION

There are some important tips that one should stick to before undergoing the hair transplantation process:

1. Avoid smoking for at least two weeks before the procedure, as it affects the growth of the follicles and the results of the process.
2. Avoid drinking green tea, for it is a blood thinner that causes severe bleeding during and after the operation and leads directly to the failure of the transplantation.
3. Avoid coffee and stimulants in general for at least four days before the transplantation because they are stimulants that affect the anesthesia process.
4. It is recommended to eat healthy and balanced food before the operation in order to avoid any complications that may occur during or after the operation.
5. Stop taking medications that cause blood thinning, such as Aspirin and Ibuprofen combinations.
6. If you are using certain medications for a particular disease, such as hypertension, diabetes, or other diseases, your healthcare professional who is following your health condition must be aware of these and approve the hair transplantation process.

TIPS AFTER HAIR TRANSPLANTATION

There are a set of tips after the hair transplantation process that must be followed:

1. A headband must be worn for 48 hours to avoid the swelling of the head.
2. Avoid bending your head as much as possible. Keep a parallel line between your chin and the ground for three days to avoid swelling in the areas of the forehead and around the eyes.
3. Never wash your hair before the 72 hours after the operation is over.
4. You must sleep in a semi-vertical position, relying on two pillows to lift your head for five days to avoid swelling.
5. Avoid swimming in the sea for three months, and avoid swimming in a pool for two months.
6. Stay away from sunlight, heat, and high humidity for at least a month, and you should wear a medical hat when you go out.
7. Be careful when putting on or taking off your clothes so as not to pressure directly on the scalp.
8. Avoid smoking for at least two months after the operation because it impedes the growth of follicles leading to their fall.

10. Stay away from a Turkish bath or sauna for a month.
11. Keep on having the necessary treatments and medications prescribed by your doctor, which help to heal wounds quickly and to increase the growth of the hair follicles.
12. Avoid standing directly under rain or dust so as not to cause harm to the follicles implanted.
13. Avoid intercourse (marital relationship) for a week.
14. Plasma PRP needles are recommended to be used as they strengthen the implanted follicles.
15. It is recommended to undergo cold laser sessions that stimulate blood circulation and thus strengthen the transplanted follicles.
16. It is also preferred to have some vitamins that help enhance the growth of follicles.

STAGES OF HAIR TRANSPLANTATION

The hair transplantation process goes through several stages:

First Stage: The density of the donor area, the area to be implanted, and the number of follicles to be picked out are determined. The front line is drawn.

Second Stage: The patient undergoes the necessary tests and checkups, which are blood tests and some dermatology examinations.

Third Stage: In this stage, the entire hair is shaved in the case of hair transplantation was to be conducted with the FUE technique. On the other hand, if the DHI or the Robot technique is to be used, then only the donor area would be shaved to enable the process of picking the follicles out. Then the patient is anesthetized with local anesthesia.

THE PROCESS OF NATURAL EYEBROW TRANSPLANTATION

Natural eyebrow transplantation in Turkey is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure. It aims to increase the density of eyebrows that suffer from thinness or maybe a complete loss. The follicles are moved from the donor area (the back of the scalp) to be planted in the area of the eyebrows in a manner that fits the shape of the face.

TECHNOLOGIES USED IN NATURAL EYEBROW TRANSPLANTATION

The latest technologies of natural eyebrow transplantation are:

DHI Technology: DHI is based on Choi Pens in transplantation. Such pens give the required density and provide a certain direction for the transplanted hair.

The follicles are picked out from the donor area so that they have a certain tissue and direction that fits with the eyebrows. A bulb contains only one hair. They are transplanted in the eyebrow area using Choi Implanter Pens to get the desired shape and density for the eyebrows.

CANDIDATES FOR NATURAL EYEBROW TRANSPLANTATION

Eyebrow transplantation works for both women and men, including:

1. 1. People who are over 25 years old.
   2. People who suffer from thin and falling eyebrows.
   3. Those who suffer from complete loss of eyebrows.
   4. Cosmetic purposes such as adjusting eyebrows shape or increasing density.

PRE- NATURAL EYEBROW TRANSPLANTATION TIPS

Some tips must be followed before undergoing natural eyebrow transplantation:

1. 1. Avoid having any sort of blood thinners, such as green tea or multivitamins, for they contain vitamin A and Vitamin E.
   2. Avoid smoking for a month because it affects the oxygen rate in blood, which is needed for the growth of transplanted follicles.
   3. Avoid having stimulants for at least two weeks because a person who takes stimulants is hard to be anesthetized.
   4. Eat healthy and balanced food in order to avoid complications during the procedure.
   5. Stop having any sort of medications that make the blood thinner.

POST- NATURAL EYEBROW TRANSPLANTATION TIPS

In order to get the desired results, you must follow some instructions that are given by the doctor such as:

1. Do not wash eyebrows for 72 hours.
2. Avoid smoking for at least two months to maintain the oxygen rate in blood, which is necessary for the growth of transplanted follicles.
3. Avoid harmful sunlight, heat, and high humidity for a month, and be sure to wear a medical cap when you are out.
4. Do not bend your head forward. Keep your head high and in parallel line for at least three days.
5. Commit to have the necessary treatments and medications and painkillers prescribed by the doctor.
6. Keep away from high temperatures for a month, such as a Turkish bath or sauna.
7. You must sleep vertically, using two medical pillows to lift your head for five days to avoid swelling.
8. Keep away from rain or dust so as not to cause harm to the transplanted follicles.
9. Avoid swimming in the sea for three months and in the swimming pool for two months.
10. Be careful when putting on and taking off clothes and avoid contact with implanted follicles.

Certain treatments are recommended after natural eyebrow transplantation, which will strengthen the implanted follicles and help to increase the growth of the newly implanted follicles in a relatively faster manner, such as;

• Plasma needles PRP.
• Rely on the necessary vitamins.
• Use the appropriate medical serum.

STAGES OF NATURAL EYEBROW TRANSPLANTATION

Natural eyebrow transplantation is conducted in four specific and simple stages that are summarized in the following steps:

First Stage: Clinical Examination 

The doctor examines the area of the eyebrows and determines the number of follicles needed for transplantation. In normal cases, the number of follicles ranges from 50 to 350, depending on the person’s condition. He then examines the donor area and determines the type of follicles that will be transplanted.

Second Stage: Conducting the Necessary Tests

In addition to skin tests, blood tests are done to identify blood sugar levels to see if something hinders the process of natural eyebrow transplantation.

Third Stage: Picking Out the Follicles

Part of the donor area is shaved to facilitate the picking process. Then the follicles are picked out of the area using a Micro Motor the follicles in which the bulb contains one hair is selected.

Fourth Stage: Eyebrow Transplantation

The doctor implants the follicles using Choi Pens, where the channels are opened, and the follicles are implanted with one click at the same time. The follicles are implanted in a certain depth and angle that suits the shape of the natural brows and provides high intensity.

BEARD AND MUSTACHE TRANSPLANT

Beard and mustache transplantation is a non-surgical procedure in which hair follicles are transferred from the donor area; the back of the head, to the recipient area; the chin and mustache areas to be treated.

BEARD AND MUSTACHE TRANSPLANT TECHNIQUES

There are three main techniques used in beard and mustache transplant:

1. DHI technology:

It is the best technique used for beard and mustache hair transplant, in which follicles are also harvested from the donor area via the Micro Motor, to be implanted directly in the recipient area by a CHOI Implanter. It is only with one click the doctor can open a channel and implant the follicle at once. The whole process takes around 6-8 hours, transplanting a maximum of 3500 follicles.

1. Mega DHI technology

The Mega DHI technique is performed over two sessions, during two consecutive days, using the Choi pens. However, with Mega DHI, a maximum of 7000 follicles are transplanted, giving the hair more density and attractiveness.

1. Extremely DHI technology

Extremely DHI technology goes through the same stages of the DHI technique. However, it enables the doctor to transplant up to 5000 follicles during 12-15 hours over only a session. 

CANDIDATES FOR BEARD AND MUSTACHE TRANSPLANTATION

To become a candidate for a beard and mustache transplant, you should be:

• • Incomplete beard.
  • The candidate must be in good health.
  • The candidate must have sufficient hair in the donor area where the follicles will be picked for transplantation in the chin area.

BEARD AND MUSTACHE TRANSPLANTATION STAGES

The stages of beard and mustache transplantation are very similar to the stages of hair transplantation in the scalp, as follows:

1. 1. Clinical examination: At this stage, the density of the donor area and the bald areas in the chin are defined. The number of follicles to be picked is determined.
   2. Carrying out all necessary tests, including blood and skin tests.
   3. The donor area is shaved for harvesting the follicles then the patient is given local anesthesia.
   4. Harvesting the follicles from the donor area via a Micro Motor to be placed in the saline solution which can preserve them.
   5. Implantation stage, the follicles are placed in Choi Pens, and with only one click the channels are opened, then the follicles are implanted.
