Hair Loss Stage can be defined depending on the question “What is hair loss?” and the growth (anagen) and resting (telogen) phases of the hair. On average, the anagen phase lasts 3 years, and the telogen phase lasts 3 months. With the arrival of new anagen hair, the hair in rest will fall in the Telogen phase. Normally, 5 – 15% of the hair is in the telogen stage. The increase in hair in the telogen phase and the loss of these hair causes excessive hair loss that disturbs the person.
The cause of hair loss can be hereditary, metabolic, or physical. Febrile illness, severe trauma or operation, medications (beta-blockers, vitamin A derivatives, anticoagulants, propyl thiouracil, etc.) and dietary changes (low protein diet), iron deficiency anemia can cause hair loss.
Hair may fall out in thyroid diseases, severe liver and kidney failure, rheumatic diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus), and cancers.
Androgenetic hair loss is the most common type of hair loss in men and women worldwide. Androgenic hair loss is also called male pattern hair loss. The main reason for hair loss is the negative effects of male hormones (androgens) on genetically sensitive hair follicles.
Hair in the front, middle and top parts of the head are sensitive to androgens. For this reason, hair loss occurs in these areas.
Hair follicles in the nape between the two ears, which are the donor area for hair transplantation, are resistant to the effects of androgens, so no hair loss is observed in this area.
Although it is called “male pattern hair loss”, androgenetic hair loss can also affect women and is also one of the most common types of hair loss in women.
The male pattern hair loss staging method is applied according to the Hamilton-Norwood Scale.
Hamilton-Norwood scale for hair loss stages is a scale used to determine the level of male pattern baldness. According to this scale, baldness is graded between I and VII.
In general, the hairline is within clear limits. Since it is confused with seasonal or stress-induced hair loss, it is mostly the stage without the use of treatment methods. Supportive treatments such as vitamins, PRP and Mesotherapy are recommended as the continuation of hair loss in young people carries the risk of losing the hair line.
It is the first stage of baldness. The frontal hairline receded to the midline without leaving an islet in the middle. It is the first stage of baldness. The front hairline receded to the midline without leaving an islet in the middle. It includes the deep regression of the mature hairline with no hair or very little hair on both sides of the temples and the minimum hair loss that can be considered as baldness.
The frontal hairline recedes more clearly. However, the middle part of the head area also begins to lose hair at this stage. It is the period when hair loss is accepted by the person.
As in Phase 3, the temple and top area scalp become more visible. It is the period in which hair loss clearly manifests itself. It is more common in the 28-35 age group.
Hairless areas in the temple area and on the top are enlarged. The hairy strip between the two areas almost disappeared or became sparse. It is also called the critical stage. The transition from Stage 4 to Stage 5 is quite fast, and patients usually pass to Stage 5 without realizing it. Hairless areas are more visible, hair structure is weaker and lifeless.
A thin hair is observed in the frontal area, and just behind it, prominent baldness is observed. There are sparse areas on the back and sides that are still hairy.
At this stage, the hair bridge is completely disappeared. The temples, anterior, and vertex hair loss are combined. There is no treatment option, including hair transplantation. It is the stage where the hair scale is completed.
Hair transplantation, which is very popular today, is a surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia. It should be performed under the supervision of a plastic surgeon and with trained teams. It is the natural and permanent way to gain hair for the people who suffer hair loss. Hair transplantation is the transplantation of the patient’s healthy hair taken from the nape area to the area where the hair is lost.
The nape area is coded not to have a hair loss, and hair transplantation operations give the person his own hair permanently as if it had never been lost before. The same methods can be performed for beard, mustache, and eyebrow transplantation. Anyone who has a suitable general health condition and enough hair follicles in the donor area can have hair transplantation. Hair follicles taken from the nape area are divided into special containers as single, double, and triple hair follicles. For the transplanted hair to have a natural appearance, single hair follicles are transplanted to the front areas at certain frequencies. The angle and direction of the hair strands to be transplanted are determined exactly. By respecting these angles, the targeted natural image is achieved with the indented sowing technique.
Fue micromotor is the most used hair transplantation technique. It is a technique performed by taking hair follicles in the donor area of the person one by one with tips called micromotor punch with a diameter of 0.6-0.8 mm and transferring them to the bald areas. Successful results are obtained in people with healthy skin and donor areas.
It is a method that can be applied in patients with incomplete hair loss. Existing hair is not damaged. It is a method of hair transplantation performed without shaving the hair. At the same time, it is performed without any incision on the skin.
Manual hair transplantation is a very special technique. It is the process of taking the hair with the help of a punch that is attached to the end of a special tool like a pen manually. With this method, the maximum number and quality of hair follicles are taken one by one. This technique, which is difficult to apply, cannot be performed by every clinic or doctor because it requires a good level of experience. It is mostly applied to people with insufficient donor area or weak hair follicles. The success rate is 95%.
The hair growth period after the operation varies according to the person who had the transplant. According to research, hair transplantation in men give faster results than in women. Apart from gender, age, health condition, and skin structure also affect the results. After hair transplantation, 60% of the hair is shed and 40% of the hair continues to grow. These expected hair fallings are called shock effect. The fallen part starts to grow stronger again after 2 or 3 months. The hair in the front grows fast. The hair on the top part grows slower than the front part, and it can take up to 1 year for the hair in this area to grow.
There is no need to apply any extra procedure other than the applications recommended by your doctor in order to accelerate the growth process of the transplanted hair. People can continue their daily lives, if they are more careful at first. If the instructions and the doctor’s advice are fully followed, the hair will absolutely grow.
Beard and mustache provide a dynamic and different look for men as well as dense and healthy-looking hair. Past trauma, hormonal imbalance, or congenital in beardless areas on our face may adversely affect our appearance. In these cases, the beard and mustache transplantation procedure will give good results.
As in the hair transplantation with the Fue method, the roots taken from the nape area are transplanted to the beard or mustache area. In this process, the person performing the transplantation must be experienced in beard and mustache transplantation because the angles of the hair follicles in the beard and mustache area are different than the hair. Beard and mustache transplantation is done under local anesthesia within 1-2 hours without feeling pain. The transplantation area will look completely natural without any scar.
You can wash your face or take shower 2-3 days after the beard and mustache transplantation. After the first two weeks, a temporary hair loss called shock loss can be observed in the transplanted area. In the area where the hair loss occurs, it will reappear within 3 to 6 months. The first shave after the operation should be done 1 month later.
Women also suffer from hair loss due to genetic, hormonal, or physiological reasons, and hair transplantation is now frequently performed in women with correct planning by investigating the cause of hair loss.
Since women’s hair is long, hair transplantation can be performed without having to cut it.
It should be done by an experienced plastic surgeon and professional healthcare professionals, as stated in the hair transplant legislation of the Ministry of Health. Hair transplantation is a surgical operation and must be performed under sterile conditions. Therefore, a hospital that is internationally accredited such as JCI and involves other branches to intervene in case of any need, provides significant confidence for the person who will have a hair transplant.
Hair loss usually begins in the 30s, but the severity of hair loss rather than age is decisive in hair transplantation. If the scalp is visible from the outside, it means that the hair density fell below 50% than necessary and hair transplantation should be done.
Determining the hairline requires experience because everyone has a different anatomical structure. The existing hair structure determines the line where the hairline will begin on the forehead. The hairline is approximately 7 cm above the eyebrow in men and is in the form of a ram. That is, its middle part is lower, and its two sides slightly reach inwards. This line is flatter in women than in men.
Yes. Depending on the size of the area to be transplanted, hair transplantation can be performed with the DHI method without hair shaving.
Although it varies depending on the number of grafts taken for the area where the hair is transplanted and the hair transplantation technique, it takes an average of 5-8 hours.
Transplantation of the hair follicles taken from the donor area into the canal opened in a healthy way should be completed within 4 hours. Therefore, 2 sessions of hair transplantation can be performed by planning in advance according to the size of the area to be transplanted.
In some cases, the person who had hair transplantation may find his/her hair sparse after hair transplantation, or another transplant may be required for some areas. In this case, 1 more session of hair transplantation can be performed depending on the condition of the donor area.
After a good hair transplant, there will be no scar in the transplanted area and in the area where the hair follicles are taken.
After the hair transplant operation, the process called shock loss occurs between 2-8 weeks and at the end of this process, most of the transplanted hair is lost. Lost hair starts to grow again within 3 months and 70% of it grows by the 6th month. All the hair grows out at the end of a year and gain a natural appearance.
A process called shock loss occurs between 2 and 8 weeks after hair transplantation. This is a normal and expected process. After this process is over, your permanent hair starts to grow. In the future, even if there is a loss caused by the life cycle of the hair strands, as in everyone, your new hair will regrow.
Depending on the size of the area to be transplanted, hair transplantation can be done with the DHI method without cutting the hair.
The donor area for the hair transplantation is the nape area between our two ears. The hair in this area consists of hair follicles that are efficient for hair transplantation and will not be lost in the area where it will be transplanted.
The FUE method generally allows hair transplantation in a wider area. The DHI is a suitable method for more frequent hair transplantation, and this method will only require a haircut in the donor area. You will be informed by our doctor about which of these two methods is more suitable for you.
