Hair transplantation operations are usually carried out by using two different techniques: FUE and DHI (newly developed technique). First of all, the samples to be taken from the hair strands of the patient are sent for examination and the technique that will be applied to the person is defined.
The first of the mentioned methods is the FUE technique. It is a frequently preferred method and its success rate is very high. In the procedure applied in FUE technique, the hairs are taken from the nape and prepared to be injected into the treatment areas. Local anesthesia is applied before this procedure.
The other technique is DHI application. DHI is a method called direct hair transplantation. The procedure is carried out using special pens called Choi pens. Therefore, this method is also known as pen hair transplantation. DHI is the transplantation of the hair follicles collected onto the sparse or non-haired area with the help of specially developed pencils. Thanks to these pens, called DHI pend, both grooving and hair transplantation can be performed at the same time. Thus, two separate steps can be reduced to a single stage with DHI. In Turkey, DHI hair transplantation method is applied with a high success rate (95%).
Avoid Sweating After Hair Transplantation Operation
There are important points to be considered after the hair transplantation operation. By paying attention to these, the healing process can be easily circumvented. First of all, with the passing of anesthesia’s effect, although there is not much pain, slight dolor will be evident, and this process should be passed calmly. The area should not be in contact with hand or foreign substances. It is also important to protect it against impacts.
During the healing process, skin damaging factors such as sweating should be avoided. In case of sweating, the skin may be damaged and the desired success rate may not be achieved in the hair follicles. Therefore, you should stay away from physical activities that will force you and cause sweating on the first days.
Hair Transplanted Area Should Not Be Touched
It is quite wrong to make direct contact with the scalp. During the recovery period, it should not be contacted by any pressure and touch. If the transplantation area is the back or top of the scalp, then you need to change the lying position. Contact with the pillow during the night can damage the hair follicles.
Keeping the nape high with an apparatus prevents possible swelling during this period. Drug monitoring and dressing control are very important. Drugs should be taken on time and dressing order should be kept as stable as possible. The existing bandage must be protected, carefully removed and rewounded in dressings.
