What is the Hair Loss in Women and What are the Reasons
In recent years, women also prefer hair transplantation. The hair transplantation technique is the same for both men and women. Only their reasons are different: In the areas where hair loss occurs in men, hair only becomes weaker and thinner in women.
There are many reasons for Hair Loss in Women. First, we need to look at the source of the problem and solve this problem. Our Specialist doctor will give you the best advice. The most significant reasons for hair loss are as follows;
Hair transplantation without shaving is generally applied to our female patients. Only a portion of the back of the head (from the donor area) where the hair follicles will be removed is shaved, this process is known as the “Window Method”. Hair follicles are removed as much as necessary from the window opened. Because many women have long hair, their hair falls over the area where the removal is made and until your hair in the area where the removal is made grows back this area is camouflaged.
Generally 2 types of hair transplantation are preferred in women.
Densification Of Diluted Hair: Sapphire method is generally preferred. In Sapphire method, channel opening is carried out be Sapphire tip. In order to prevent the existing hair from being damaged during this process, attention is paid especially to the gaps between the hairs by specialist doctor. The Sapphire method is especially preferred by female patients whose hair is diluted and want to have denser hair.
Taking Forward The Receding Forehead Line: It is also known as the forehead contraction process. Hair transplantation is performed to the forehead area and forehead line is taken forward. The DHI method is generally preferred for this process. In the DHI method, a technique different from the Sapphire method is used. Direct hair transplantation is performed with a technique we call Choi pen.
In the first stage, Consultation is done, front line is drawn and the areas where the implant will be carried out are determined. A blood test is performed and only a window-shaped portion of the back of the head (donor area) is shaved. It includes the procedures such as numbing the area where the hair follicles will be removed by using painless local anesthesia.
This stage involves the removal of hair follicles from the designated donor area. Hair follicles are removed with 0.7 or 0.8 mm punch tips with the help of a micro-motor and thus hair follicle removal process is carried out. Only the related stem cell is removed without damaging any other tissue. 1 hair follicle produces an average of 2.5 to 3 hair follicles. With this method, 55-60 (or more) hair implantation per square centimeter is possible. The hair follicles are collected and kept in a special solution.
This stage, that is, opening the channels, is the most important process of hair transplantation. After the local anesthesia process is completed, channel opening process is performed by the Specialist doctor only by using sapphire end in the Sapphire method based on the thickness and depth of the hair follicles.
In the DHI method, hair follicles kept in a special solution are carefully and meticulously placed in Choi pens as single (1 hair follicle) or multiple (2 or more hair follicles) by specialist. The specialist doctor performs hair implantation with Choi pen directly according to the directions of the hair without the need opening channel.
This is the stage of implanting individual hair follicles by hair implantation specialists into the channels that are opened by the Specialist doctor. Patience is very important during this process. This stage takes between 2 and 5 hours on average according to the number of hair follicles. In the DHI Method, direct hair transplantation is performed with Choi pens. During this process, television or music is switched on in the operation room to provide comfort for the patient. After the implant procedure is completed, the Specialist doctor provides the final checks and the area where the hair follicles are removed is covered with a small bandage. This bandage is removed the next day.
There is no need to stay in hospital after hair transplantation. You will be discharged on the same day after hair transplantation.
Considering the method to be used in hair transplantation and the number of hair follicles to be implanted, it takes approximately between 6 and 10 hours.
The best time for hair transplantation is the time when the patient feels psychologically and financially suitable and ready. In fact, in which season hair transplantation operation is performed is technically not so much important. Hair transplantation is not preferred by most people as it is likely to be exposed to the sun in the summer.
Do not cut your hair with a machine, razor or sharp shaving device or any sharp object for 6 months after the operation. After the 1st month you can have your hair cut with scissors.
If you are smoking and using any other tobacco products, we advise you not to smoke/use for 1 week after the operation. This is because smoking reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood. If you are not going to quit smoking, we recommend you to reduce the amount between 2 and 4 cigarettes per day. Otherwise the hair follicles may not hold on tight.
You cannot do fitness and heavy sports for 1 month after the operation. We recommend that you do not engage in sports activities exposing to impact, such as football or basketball, for 3 months.
After hair transplantation, we give a warranty certificate. We give a lifetime guarantee for the hairs we implant.
If you need second hair transplantation, after the 9th month, there is no harm in having hair transplantation again.
