One week before the hair transplant procedure, blood-thinning substances and medications such as aspirin, Coraspin, alcohol, and vitamin E should be avoided. Smoking should be reduced as much as possible. It is also recommended to have a good breakfast on the day of the hair transplant procedure.

Hair transplantation is performed under local anesthesia in an appropriate medical setting. The patient may only feel slight discomfort while the anesthesia is being administered. Once the area becomes numb, no significant pain is usually felt. FUE and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) techniques are generally considered minimally invasive methods with limited bleeding compared to traditional hair transplant techniques.

In some clinics, laser technology may be used during the stage of creating channels where the grafts will be placed. However, laser energy may affect the blood vessels in the treated area and potentially interfere with the blood supply required for the transplanted grafts to adapt and survive. For this reason, laser-assisted hair transplantation may not always provide the expected results. In addition, the healing process of the skin and scabs may take longer following laser treatment.

Hair transplantation can also be performed in areas where existing hair is present in order to increase density. The risk of damaging existing hair can be minimized with careful application, particularly with the DHI technique. Successful transplantation without damaging existing hair depends on the experience and skill of the medical team as well as the quality of the instruments used when creating the channels. In some cases, temporary shedding may occur, after which the hair can grow back over time.

The growth process may vary depending on the patient's individual physiological characteristics. Temporary shedding after the procedure can occur and is generally considered a normal part of the process. New hair typically begins to grow approximately 3 months after transplantation. By the 6th month, a significant proportion of the transplanted hair is expected to have grown. Hair grows approximately 1 cm per month, and the final results of the hair transplant are generally evaluated around 12 months after the procedure.

Hair follicles are transplanted as small tissue units called grafts. The main hair transplantation techniques include FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation). The appropriate technique is selected according to the patient's hair structure, donor area, level of hair loss, and desired results. The aim is to achieve natural-looking and long-lasting results while safely transplanting an appropriate number of healthy hair follicles.

There are several alternatives to hair transplantation, depending on the type and degree of hair loss. These may include medical treatments, supportive therapies, wigs, or hair replacement systems. Hair transplantation is a commonly preferred option for suitable patients because it uses the patient's own hair follicles and can provide natural-looking, long-lasting results. The most appropriate treatment option should be determined following an individual assessment.

Depending on the size of the area to be treated, the patient's degree and progression of hair loss, and the availability of sufficient hair follicles in the donor area, the desired result may require more than one hair transplant session. The number of sessions required is determined individually after an examination and assessment.
