Hair Transplant for Women

Hair Transplant for Women in Turkey

If you think that hair transplantation is a process only for men, you are wrong. Hair is one of the most significant complements of both men’s and women’s appearances, and hair loss in both genders may cause psychological issues like a lack of confidence. Especially in recent years, hair transplantation for women is preferred as much as it is for men. Again, from many different countries all around the world, women who want to have a hair transplant prefer to come to Turkey for their operations, because hair transplantation in Turkey is much more affordable when compared to other countries. Just like for men, hair transplantation methods are FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) for women, as well. There is no need to cut or shave the hair in either of these methods. Therefore, no bad appearance occurs once the operation is done. The recovery period of hair transplant surgery for women is 2 weeks on average. However, this process usually heals within

 

1 week. After the surgery, a soft dressing is applied for a few days to hide the very small, even millimeter extraction holes. In the meantime, it is better to stay away from smoking, alcohol, and caffeinated beverages during the recovery period. Meanwhile, the newly transplanted hair will shed normally within 2-3 weeks. This phase is a simple resting phase, and after a few weeks, the hair will return to the growth phase and grow thicker.

Is a Hair Transplant a Permanent Solution for my Baldness?

Once the hair follicles are transplanted into the area where your hair is thinning, or which is bald, it takes some time for it to recover. In fact, it is considered normal for some of the hair to fall out for the first 3 months after the procedure.  The recovery process may take approximately 6-12 months. However, once the operation area is recovered, the transplanted follicles begin to grow hair that will fill out the bald patches on the patient’s scalp. This is the hair that will continue to grow naturally as time passes.

 

The movement of the hair follicles is permanent; there is no way to return them to their previous position. However, just like the rest of the hair follicles, the grafted ones have a lifespan as well. At some point, they may gradually stop producing as much hair as they used to. Therefore, it may be possible for a patient to have another transplantation done. There are patients who have been told that they need multiple sessions for better results by their doctors. To sum up, the results of hair transplantation are usually long-lasting and are considered to be permanent, except for the exceptions mentioned, which are generally due to the patient’s hair conditions.

Hair Loss in Women
