During the hair transplant consultation, the doctor will ask some questions to understand your medical history and whether there are any non-physical reasons for the baldness or severe hair loss. And of course, the doctor needs to know your health history to check if your general health condition allows you to undergo the procedure.
During the consultation, the doctor will examine your hair to determine the degree of hair loss and hair growth. Also, the donor area will be checked to make sure there is a sufficient amount of hair for transplantation.
When all the necessary tests have been performed, the doctor will ask you about your expectations and explain the procedure, methods, duration and time of the result. All this information will prepare you to undergo the procedure stress free.
To have a smooth, without complications and safe procedure. You must prepare yourself for it, whether physically or mentally. Here are some pointers that will help you in preparing for the procedure in the best way ever!
- Medicine Use
For this particular reason, the doctor must know your health condition and medical history. This is because there are some medications that the patient must stop before the procedure in order to avoid unwanted complications during the hair transplant procedure. The medications that must be discontinued within 7 - 14 days before the procedure are:
P.S. Please note that it is important to inform your doctor about the medications you take on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.
- Haircut
You may be wondering if you need to do anything to your hair before the hair transplant. Well, to get your dream hair, you will have to let go of your existing hair. Try to avoid getting a haircut before the procedure and let your existing hair grow as much as possible. On the day of the procedure, the donor area will be completely shaved so that you can see the follicles better and extract the grafts more easily.
Before hair transplantation, the doctor performs hair analysis, which helps him to determine your hair type and density. This analysis can be used to determine if the donor area can provide the required number of grafts for the recipient area.
The structure of the hair follicles and the thickness of the hair fiber are determined by the hair analysis. It is important for the hair transplant procedure to know whether the hair is thick or thin.
Hair analysis will determine the problems the hair suffers from, such as the stage of baldness or hair loss and the reasons for it (fungal infection, androgenetic hair loss and alopecia), hair analysis can detect scalp diseases, hair thickness and shaft and hair density. All these factors play a major role in hair transplantation and its smooth implementation.
The world of hair transplantation is developing. It started with the method FUT, which left a lifelong scar, and now there are FUE hair transplantation, DHI hair transplantation and Sapphire hair transplantation method, which simplify the procedure step by step and leave no permanent scars. You may be confused about which method is best for you, but it depends on the individual case and the doctor's advice.
FUE hair transplantation is a procedure in which hair follicles are manually harvested and implanted. It leaves no permanent scars and it is one of the procedures preferred by doctors and patients. About 4000 to 6000 grafts can be transplanted with the FUE hair transplantation method.
Technology plays a major role in DHI hair transplantation because where grafts are taken manually, they are implanted using the Choi Implanter Pen. With the DHI procedure, about 4000 grafts can be transplanted from the donor area to the recipient area without shaving the implanted area.
The Sapphire FUE hair transplant procedure differs from the FUE hair transplant procedure in the medical tool used to make the incisions in the recipient area for the transplanted grafts. Since the Sapphire blade is smooth and sharp, it creates a perfect cut with the same depth of the implanted graft and minimal tissue damage.
