Mediglobe collaborates with hospitals in Turkey for Hair Transplant Surgery

Hair loss affects millions of people worldwide, influencing self-esteem and confidence. For those seeking a permanent solution, Hair Transplant Surgery is a widely accepted option. Advances in surgical techniques have made transplants more effective and natural-looking than before. Such as, modern Hair Transplant techniques like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) offer a permanent and natural-looking solution. Unlike the older FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) method, FUE does not leave a linear scar and ensures a quicker recovery.  Mediglobe recommends you a Hair Transplant Surgery package according to your needs.

What is the Hair Transplant Surgery procedure with FUE Technique?

Step 1: Initial Consultation

Before the procedure, you’ll meet with a hair transplant surgeon to:

  • Assess your hair loss pattern (Norwood Scale for men, Ludwig Scale for women).
  • Determine donor hair availability (usually from the back and sides of the scalp).
  • Discuss expectations, potential results, and medical history.
  • Get a scalp analysis (density, hair thickness, and graft requirement).
Step 2: Pre-Operative Preparation
  • Avoid alcohol, smoking, and blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen) for at least a week.
  • Wash your hair thoroughly before the surgery.
  • The surgeon may prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection.
Step 3: Hairline Design
  • The surgeon marks the recipient area (where hair will be transplanted) with a surgical pen.
  • The hairline is designed to look natural, considering age, facial structure, and future hair loss.
Step 4: Local Anaesthesia
  • The donor and recipient areas are numbed using local anaesthesia to ensure a pain-free procedure.
Step 5: Follicular Unit Extraction (Donor Harvesting)
  • The surgeon uses a micro-punch tool (0.6mm to 1.0mm) to extract individual follicular units (1-4 hairs per graft).
  • Grafts are carefully removed to avoid damage.
  • The extracted grafts are stored in a special solution to keep them viable.
Step 6: Recipient Site Creation
  • Tiny incisions (0.5mm – 1.0mm) are made in the balding area at precise angles and depths to mimic natural hair growth.
  • The direction and density are crucial for a natural look.
Step 7: Graft Implantation
  • The harvested grafts are meticulously placed into the recipient sites.
  • Single-hair grafts are used at the hairline for a soft, natural appearance, while multi-hair grafts add density behind.
Step 8: Post-Operative Care
  • The surgeon cleans the area and may apply a bandage or protective dressing.
  • You’ll receive instructions on:
    • Washing hair (gentle cleaning after 48 hours).
    • Avoiding strenuous activities for 1-2 weeks.
    • Sleeping position (head elevated to reduce swelling).
    • Medications (antibiotics, painkillers, anti-swelling drugs).
Step 9: Recovery & Growth Timeline
  • First 10 days: Scabs form and fall off; tiny crusts disappear.
  • 2-4 weeks: Transplanted hairs shed (normal part of the process).
  • 3-4 months: New hair starts growing.
  • 6-12 months: Full results visible, with natural density.
