How Hair Transplantation is Performed?

In the application, hair follicles taken from the nape of the neck are transplanted to the targeted balding area. These hair follicles are called grafts. Rarely, in some cases, there is not enough healthy hair in the nape of the neck or temple area. In such cases, hair follicles can be harvested from other areas containing hair such as the arms or chest wall. The application takes place in a few hours depending on the amount of hair loss. If the balding area is very large, several sessions may be required to complete the treatment.

Usually the intervention is performed under local anesthesia with sedation. After hair transplantation, a special bandage is applied to the head. The person is discharged after 1-2 hours. Although it is very rare, pain is controlled with painkillers in case of pain. Generally, after 3 days of home rest, the patient can return to work life with the head closed. The first dressing is applied on the 5th day.
