Hair loss is considered bad by both men and women. Hair loss originates from genetic, hormonal, external, and a lot of other factors. For example, a medication one takes regularly may have side effects. Stress and anxiety can cause hair loss. If a person has a family member who is suffering from hair loss, he/she can suffer from it too. Family background, genes, and hormones play a crucial role when it comes to hair loss.

Autoimmune Diseases That Cause Hair Loss
Some autoimmune diseases cause hair loss in people. Many of these diseases are incurable, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be controlled. Diseases can be controlled with medicines and some treatments. Hair transplants can be a solution for the hair loss resulting from autoimmune diseases.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease and it causes baldness in some areas of the scalp. Hair loss occurs when white blood cells attack completely healthy hair roots.

Graves’ Disease is an autoimmune disease that is closely linked with thyroid cells. In other words, it is a thyroid disorder that causes hyperthyroidism. It can also prevent the systems from producing hair roots, which can lead to baldness. Hair loss becomes visible after a while because this disease prevents the new hair follicles from growing. Patients can use medications like propylthiouracil and methimazole for the treatment of the disease.

You may have one of the above-mentioned diseases and your treatments may not be sufficient enough to prevent hair loss. But don’t be afraid, there is always a solution. A hair transplant can be a life-saving option for you. A lot of women and men prefer undergoing a hair transplant because of its great features. These operations are painless and permanent. Specialists perform these surgeries by transferring hair follicles from the donor area to the target area.

But Follicular Unit Extraction is the best of them. Let’s explain the Follicular Unit Extraction and its features in the following paragraph.
Follicular Unit Extraction, also known as FUE, is a hair transplantation method. A great majority of the hair transplantation specialists in Turkey are using this method. The fact that FUE leaves no scars is the best feature of this method. A high number of grafts can be transplanted with the Follicular Unit Extraction method. Specialists can transplant 4,500 grafts per session. The healing process is very fast. A patient does not need to take two weeks or more off from work. He/she can go back to work in two days or a week. If he/she pays attention to certain advice/instructions of the specialist, she can return to her daily life and live comfortably.
