What is hair transplantation, before and after?

Hair transplantation is a hair transplant process in the real sense. In other words, it is the process of transferring strong, healthy and non-shedding hair and body hair to the bald area.

Since the 1950s, many procedures have been tried and solutions have been sought for the problem of baldness. Detection of the follicular unit in the early 1990s is a revolution in hair transplantation. In these years, hair transplantation with the FUT procedure has made quite a few steps and has become well-known. In 2002, hair transplantation with the FUE formula was introduced by Dr. Russman. The FUE method is widely applied in the world and in our country, where it has made rapid progress. We do almost all of our applications with the FUE system.

In addition, with the development of the FUE procedure, eyebrow transplantation, mustache transplantation, beard transplantation, eyelash transplantation, hair transplantation from beard and other body hair have become possible.

Except for very few diseases, hair transplantation can be done to anyone with a healthy donor area. As the age progresses, measures can be taken for chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension and hair transplantation can be performed.
