The concept 'microsurgical operation' implies that; a hair transplant procedure will be carried out with minimal surgical intervention unlike traditional surgery.A hair transplant operation, is an effective and permanent solution for individuals experiencing 'male-pattern baldness' which is also referred to as androgenetic alopecia. Apart from these, individuals who have scars or have lost hair due to various kinds of hair diseases can also safely undergo a hair transplant surgery.Hair Transplant BasicsIndividuals aged between 20 and 60 years can undergo a hair transplant surgery. The patient who will undergo a hair transplant surgery will only need 3 days for pre-operative preperation and for recovering. Although the duration of surgery varies according to the number of grafts that will be transplanted, it usually lasts about 6 to 8 hours. In order to respond to possible complications, the operation must be conducted in a fully-equipped hospital. A hair transplant procedure is performed with a doctor and at least 3 medical technicians. It may take around 6 to 18 months to see the final outcome of hair growth. Starting from the day following the operation, the patient can expect to see hair growth until the 18'th month.7 Stages Of A Hair Transplant Process1. Consultation: This is the stage where the doctor develops the patient's operation plan and creates the hairline design.2. Preparation: This stage incorporates the processes of sterilizing the operation site and the application of local anesthetics.3. Extraction: The process of extracting hair grafts from the donor area of the patient.4. Recipient Site Creation: This is the process of creating recipient sites by following the direction of the existing terminal hairs.5. Transplantation: This is the process of placing the grafts in recipient sites at right angles to hair direction.6. Postoperative Processes: This stage incorporates the processes of wound-dressing for the transplanted site and PRP Therapy to speed up the healing process of the operation site.7. Postoperative Care & Hair Wash: This is the washing process that is to be carried out for 15 days. Both the donor and the transplanted area will be sensitive during this period, so it important to carry out the washing process with extra care.

Single grafts removed by Fue method are used for eyelash and eyebrow transplantation. Double and triple grafts are separated and single grafts are made. Nape area is preferred as donor area. 200 to 600 roots will be enough for a single eyebrow according to gap on the eyebrow for eyebrow transplantation. The process after the procedure is same as hair transplantation. No water should be contacted for the first 24 hours. Transplanted hair follicles lose within 1 month. To apply massage along the growth direction of the eyebrows when they start to grow after 3 months will be effective for direction. First eyebrow strands will seem thick and hard; they naturally look like the hair of the nape area; eyebrows adopt the new area within a year and become thinner and have an eyebrow vision.The important point in eyelash transplantation is whether the individual has healthy eyelids. If there is not any problem, hair roots taken from the nape area by local anesthesia are placed onto the eyelids through desired direction one by one. Because eyelashes transplanted from the hair roots will grow, they will need to be shorten in times.50 to 100 roots may be enough for hair transplantation according to the need. Thinner hair roots are selected for eyelash transplantation from down side of the donor area.Contrary to hair, beard and moustache transplantation, eyelashes may continue to grow without any loss in eyelash transplantation. Prices are not determined according to the hair root count ing eyebrow and eyelash transplantation. Pricing is performed according to the sessions.

Hair transplantation can be described as a treatment method that offers long-lasting results for hair loss. The hair transplant procedure we perform at HC Polyclinic can be defined as follows; it is a microsurgical application carried out in a hospital surgical environment. The concept of 'microsurgical procedure' means this: unlike traditional surgical methods, hair transplantation can be performed with a less invasive technique.The hair transplant procedure is a preferred treatment option for individuals experiencing what is medically known as androgenetic alopecia, commonly referred to as 'male pattern hair loss'. In addition, individuals with hair loss due to scar tissue or various hair conditions may also be considered suitable for hair transplantation at HC Polyclinic following a medical evaluation.Fundamentals of Hair TransplantationGenerally, individuals between the ages of 20 and 60 may become candidates for the hair transplant procedure following a medical examination and clinical assessment. The preparation and recovery process may vary depending on individual circumstances and typically covers an average program of 3 days.

To be able to respond promptly to any possible complications, it is preferable that the procedure be carried out in a fully equipped hospital. The hair transplant application is performed by a team consisting of a specialist physician and experienced medical technicians. The final appearance of hair growth may take approximately 6 to 18 months to emerge. From the day after the procedure, the patient may experience a gradual hair growth process up to the 18th month.The 7 Stages of the Hair Transplant Process1. Consultation: The stage in which the physician prepares a personalized treatment plan for the patient and designs a suitable hairline.2. Preparation: At this stage, the treatment area is sterilized and local anesthesia is applied.3. Extraction: The process of individually harvesting hair grafts from the patient's donor area.4. Recipient Site Creation: The stage in which the natural direction of existing terminal hairs is followed to open the recipient sites.5. Implantation: The stage in which the extracted grafts are placed into the recipient area at an angle consistent with the natural direction of the hair.6. Post-Procedure Applications: This stage includes dressing of the transplanted area and PRP applications that may be recommended to support the healing process. 7. Post-Procedure Care & Hair Washing: The hair washing stage, recommended to be carried out under the physician's guidance for approximately 15 days. During this period, both the donor and recipient areas remain sensitive, so the washing process must be performed with great care.

The method involves special treatment of patient’s blood so that white blood cells and platelets are separated and injected into the area with no or thin hair. 10 ml of blood is drawn from the patient and then placed in a centrifuge for approximately 15 minutes where the platelet rich plasma is separated from red blood cells. The concentrated platelets are injected into the scalp in small doses in 10-minute application. The plasma obtained during the PRP treatment includes highly concentrated thrombocytes (platelets) and leucocytes (white blood cells). Activated platelets and leucocytes secrete growth factors. With PRP Hair Treatment, growth factors stimulate the hair follicle’s renewal and growth. Thus, it enables serious tissue regeneration. The purpose of PRP Hair Treatment is to help restore the health of the hair by stimulating weak and very thin hair and hair follicles that are about to die.The application is generally performed every 15 days for 3-4 months, on average. After that, one application a year would be enough. The most important advantage of this method is that the special plasma is obtained from patients’ own blood and therefore free from risk of allergies.What purposes is PRP treatment used for? It is used for hair loss treatment. The PRP treatment stops hair loss by stimulating weak and damaged hair with split ends and unproductive hair follicles. It helps hair look shiny and bouncy. It is used for treatment of acnes, scars and stretch marks. Platelets working around the stretch marks, scars, acne scars and similar lesions on the skin with a lesion-healing mechanism ensure healing and improve the appearance of scars through the growth factors they secrete. It is used for dark spots on the skin. The growth factors secreted by the platelets injected into the skin via PRP keep the functioning of the melanocyte cells which produce melanin to give color to the skin within normal limits and thus treats the skin spots.
