What is Painless Hair Transplantation?

Hair transplantation is the most cost-effective solution to the problem of hair loss. Micro and follicular units are used during hair transplantation to ensure permanent, natural new hair growth. Hair transplantation is considered the most effective option for hair restoration. During hair transplantation, your doctor takes healthy hair follicles from the donor area on the scalp and places them in the bald area due to the DHT hormone. Each hair follicle removed from the donor area is carefully transplanted to the scalp in the recipient area so that the patient's new hair will continue to grow as usual, matching the hair growth pattern.

Hair transplantation procedures are performed using advanced restoration techniques. The newly transplanted hair is artistically placed to complement the natural growth of the patient's hairline and facial features, giving the patient the most natural-looking results. This approach creates completely natural and undetectable results. Generally, FUE is the most used among hair transplantation methods.

Each follicular unit (FU) is physiologically and anatomically unique, so it is very important to choose healthy follicular units when it comes to hair transplantation. The main goal of FUE hair transplantation is to keep the hair follicles intact during the collection process from donor locations. As FUE has developed, the rate of transection has been greatly reduced.

Surgical hair transplantation surgery is one of the simple, outpatient treatment methods. Patients can return home the same day after the procedure and start working within a few days. Different methods can be used when it comes to hair transplantation. However, regardless of the method used, it is essential to numb the head area for hair transplantation. Anesthesia is used for this. However, there are often patients who have needle phobia or give up on hair transplantation just because it involves needles. There has also been a new development in the use of needles for local anesthesia.

In this method, which is considered a painless hair transplantation, needles are used for hair transplantation, but no needle is used for local anesthesia. Instead, an anesthesia tool with a silicone tip is used, and the patient's scalp is numbed with the spray technique. The anesthetic substance that comes into contact with the skin quickly penetrates under the skin, numbing the area and ensuring that the patient is ready for the procedure.

Painless hair transplantation is used in specialized clinics around the world and ensures that patients are comfortable throughout the entire procedure. In aesthetics, hair transplantation is performed under local anesthesia under the supervision of a dermatologist, plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist and takes between five and seven hours, depending on the amount of grafts to be transplanted. The selection of patients and the work of the hair transplantation team in the use of this innovative technique show the success of the post-operative results.

After the painless hair transplantation procedure, patients need to avoid very strenuous physical activities for a while, take at least 2 days off work and rest on the day of the procedure. The hair in the recipient area starts to grow within 3 months and the results of the hair transplantation are seen within 1 year. The new transplanted hair falls out within the first few months. Although this usually surprises patients, they should know that healthy new hair will grow soon.

The choice of hair transplantation technique, the success of the health team, the comfort of the hair transplantation performed in just one day are the main factors in obtaining a suitable and risk-free hair transplant.
