You may have one of the problems mentioned above causing hair loss for women as men. While some of these temporary, some might be permanent. Considering hair transplant operation, consulting a hair specialist for professional help is crucial. The hair that develops in the natural hair cycle over some time is reduced by discoloration. And this is how the natural hair cycle continues. Your hair will be lost all day long and will be replaced. It’s normal to lose 100 hair strands every day, but in some places, there are more than 100 spills and holes are a sign of a problem.

There are many ways in which hair loss can be avoided. However, if applied effectively, the most efficient and satisfying solution among them is hair transplantation.

Before the procedure, the doctor will determine the number of follicles needed to achieve a decent result and the natural look, some tests and also included. Specific questions to find out if your case is appropriate for hair transplant surgery and to identify the donor area. The donor area is the main supply for grafts. This area is typically the backside of the hair for men, especially in cases where beard hair can also be added to achieve the maximum number of grafts.

Things to be considered before the operation:

Wash your hair before the surgery
Avoid cigarettes and alcohol one week before surgery
Wear a simple outfit like a shirt on the day of the service
If you are under medication, you must warn the doctor
Do not apply lotion, hair spray or conditioner to hair before hair transplantation.
Do not have a big breakfast or lunch just before the surgery.

Hair transplantation is performed under local anaesthesia to prevent pain, the hair of the donor region is trimmed, and the grafts are removed one by one, but not at regular intervals to stop exposure or dilution in the donor area. On completion of the extraction, the safe grafts are removed and placed in 100 rows in a particular area. The number of transplant grafts needed varies based on the region length and visibility, the thickness and hair form of the recipient. Once all these operations have been done, a front cut line will be established to verify the face shape and natural appearance of the patient, then the channels will be opened, and the grafts will be transplanted. Depending on the number of transplants to be performed, the period of procedure varies, while the standard is 6-8 hours.

Most frequent questions and answers about Hair Transplant

What is the cost of a hair transplant?

The cost depends on the type of hair and the procedures to be used; hence, the price can be calculated only after the examination of the doctor.

Is hair transplantation a painful process? If so, how can the pain be reduced?

Hair transplantation is no longer a painful process because of the way it is performed today. Nonetheless, the doctor decides what a patient should use in the event of any discomfort because otherwise, it is not felt as it is applied under anaesthesia during the procedure.

How do I look like after a hair transplant, and when can I get back to my healthy life?

The hair is washed during the first two days after transplantation, and bandages are made on the donor area. There is no discomfort, swelling or bleeding after the procedure, but in the transplant area, there will be crapping around the grafts. You will return to your healthy life after a few days of rest determined by your doctor.

Should I stay at the hospital after a hair transplant?

You don’t have to stay at the hospital after hair transplant operation

How could you support me if my donor region can not provide enough grafts, and I still want a hair transplant?

We can take from other body parts, such as the hair if more grafts are required.

How long should I wait to shave my head after a FUE hair transplant?

The head is often shaved in preparation for the FUE procedure. It’s possible to shave your head immediately after the procedure, but it’s probably best to wait for three weeks. The appearance of the shaved donor region can depend on a procedure’s total number of FUE grafts. FUE removes intact follicular from the donor region. This will result in less follicular units. When 25% of the follicular units are withdrawn from the donor area, this will leave gaps in the donor area where follicular units have been removed in an attempt to transfer them to the top. However, the number 1 guard will hide these gaps. You can clip to number one at any time after the FUE procedure.

Do you provide a hair transplant guarantee certificate

Indeed, our institution issues a guarantee certificate after hair transplantation.

Can I go back to my professional life immediately after the surgery?

Sure, patients will return immediately after the procedure to their daily lives.

Can a woman be treated with a hair transplant?

Yes, hair transplantation can be performed in women as well as in men. After some tests, it can be performed using precise techniques, because the surgery is performed differently and depending on the type and shape of the hair.

I can highly recommend the clinic. The staff and Ms. Sule herself are friendly and helpful. Questions are always answered in advance and during the treatment days. It is always asked whether you still have any. You will be informed promptly from arrival to departure. Only the anesthetic injections weren't a personal highlight 🙂 In any case, I always felt that I was in good hands.

When it comes to hair transplant there are so many options available in the market that makes the decision making very difficult. However, people’s reviews and their experience helped me make that final decision easily. Therefore, I am writing my personal opinion to help someone else who is exploring the market. The whole process, from the airport pickup to clinic drop off and the transplant process couldn’t be any better. Sule hair is a team of very professional and experienced individuals . From the time you walk in to the clinic until the whole process is done, they make you feel very welcome and make you feel you are in good hands throughout the process. I highly recommend this place for whoever is looking to do hair transplant. Good luck
