Those who have problems with their hair draw a new life for themselves with their hair that grows again. We would like to share a few information with you to help you get rid of your hair transplant phobia.

So, how is the hair transplant process, is there any pain or pain, can anyone transplant hair? Here are important advice from our experts for those who are considering a hair transplant.

Why are we afraid of hair transplantation?

Needle phobia is the primary reason people fear hair transplantation. Another reason; They are extremely worried that their post-operative images are worse or artificial than before. The perception that scarring and deficiency will occur in the area where the hair strands are taken increases the fear. All this is due to the “lack of knowledge”.

Thanks to the competence and techniques achieved in hair transplantation, the results after the procedure leave positive marks in hair transplant patients. Thanks to the new technique FUE method, both grafts can be taken at a high rate and there is little trauma in the area where the harvest is made. These traumas, ie small wounds, heal in a very short time that we can limit to a few days.

Are there any alternative applications to hair transplantation?

Apart from hair transplantation, there are prosthetic hair applications as an alternative. This process is the process of attaching a wig to the scalp. It is a more costly procedure than hair transplantation and requires constant care. In addition, it may cause irritation, wound and allergic conditions on the scalp as it is attached to the skin. If you decide on this method caused by your hair transplant phobia, you may encounter different difficulties.

How long does a needle-free hair transplant operation take on average?

Needle-free hair transplantation is a procedure we need to do in a clinical environment by our needle-free hair transplant specialists under the control of plastic surgeons.

We recommend that you do not use drugs such as aspirin and vitamin E, which have blood thinning properties, one week before the needle-free hair transplant procedure. You also need to stop using substances such as cigarettes and alcohol.

We know that hair transplant phobia is caused by needles. For this reason, needle-free hair transplantation is a subject that is researched by everyone. We have previously said that the duration of needle-free hair transplantation surgery varies from person to person. Details such as the person’s hair loss rate, the number of existing hair, the technique to be used affect this. At the same time, factors such as the number of grafts that need to be removed and transplanted play a decisive role in the duration of the operation. According to all these factors, the duration of needle-free hair transplantation is between 4 and 8 hours.

This period includes breaks to meet your special needs. We offer all kinds of hygiene, comfort and quality to our patients in our hair transplant clinic so that they can spend this time enjoyable. The needle-free hair transplant operation is usually completed on the same day, and the dressing is done the next day. On the third day, you need to come to our hair transplant center for the first wash. A total of four days will be sufficient to have a hair transplant without needles.

Is Hair Transplant Possible During Sleep?

Hair transplantation with sleep is an alternative hair transplantation method that has been started to be applied due to the fact that some fears such as the fear of needles and inability to bear blood are advanced for some people. So much so that these fears go as far as staying away from clinics even in health problems. It is possible that people who will have hair transplantation have similar fears. Hair transplantation, which we usually do under local anesthesia, can optionally be performed under sedation anesthesia or general anesthesia. Anesthesia in hair transplantation eliminates the feeling of pain during the operation and allows the operation to pass comfortably. Anesthesia also prevents the person’s sudden physical reactions during the surgical operation. In this way, we perform the operations we perform under anesthesia in much more convenient and comfortable way.

Considering that the procedure will take a long time, giving general anesthesia for 8-10 hours is not a highly preferred method. However, sedation analgesia, which is a semi-awake state, is a preferred application in terms of both patient and staff comfort. Hair transplantation while sleeping is actually a term we express in this sense.

Benefits of the needle-free hair transplant technique

Fear of needles is a  that is effective enough to cause fainting in some people. It causes worry during hair transplant operation. In addition to the feeling of relief it provides to the patient psychologically, it also has technical benefits. Among these, it minimizes the risk of infection and pain. The patient can comfortably watch movies, read a book or listen to music during the needle-free hair transplantation procedure.

In the needle-free hair transplantation procedure, the risk of infection is lower because there is no hole or cut in the scalp. Protect the areas where we have hair transplantation from sunlight or extremely hot environments during the healing process.

Needle-free hair transplantation with FUE or DHI technique

We get healthy hair follicles mostly from the back and side areas of the patient’s head. If there is no type of hair loss that spreads to the entire scalp, such as DUPA hair loss, the hair on the back and sides of the head will be resistant to shedding in male pattern hair loss. In this type of hair loss, called type M hair loss, the back of the head becomes insensitive to testosterone. In this way, the hair follicles in these parts remain healthy.
