Hair Transplant for Women in Turkey


It is estimated that the average person sheds between 50 and 100 hairs per day, which is considered the normal balance in the process of losing and growing hair. However, women may experience hair loss when they lose more than 125 hairs per day, which can result in noticeable shedding, bald spots, and thinning hair. Contrary to popular belief, hair loss is not more prevalent in men than in women. In fact, studies show that more than 50% of women will experience noticeable hair loss.


This article will examine the lesser-known aspects of hair loss in women and the growing number of hair transplant procedures being performed for them in Turkey.




What are the Signs of Hair Loss in Women?

  • An increase in the number of daily hair fall
  • The appearance of patches of thinner or missing hair
  • The appearance of scalp skin through hair 
  • Hair breaking off


What Causes Hair Loss in Women

There are a number of reasons why women experience hair loss, some of which include:

  • Dietary changes and rapid weight loss
  • Treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy
  • Genetic 
  • Stress
  • Damaged hair follicles
  • Hormonal changes (menopause, pregnancy)


Are there Tests to Diagnose Female Hair Loss?

Before making the decision that hair transplantation is necessary for you, a number of tests should be performed in order to make an informed decision. Here are some of the tests:

  • A gentle pull on your hair to see how many hairs fall out
  • Microscopic Scalp Examination
  • Blood tests. Blood tests are used to determine the amount of vitamins and minerals (such as D, B, zinc, and iron) and hormones (such as thyroid) in the blood.
  • In rare cases, biopsy of the scalp to remove and examine a very small piece of scalp skin.


Hair Transplant Techniques for Women

Female hair transplants can be effectively performed using the FUE technique. However, this approach is less preferred due to the necessity of shaving the desired area, which may be seen as a disadvantage. This leaves us with a single technique that requires minimal, if any, shaving of the transplanted area: the DHI. This technique is a direct hair transplantation technique that employs the Choi pen method and is perfect for giving the treated area a sufficient density.





The DHI technique is regarded as one of the most innovative hair transplantation techniques, offering a highly effective approach that preserves the donor area's full head of hair while only shaving the required amount of hair.


The size of the instruments utilized by the surgeon is of significant importance, as is the angle at which the incisions are made. These factors contribute to the natural appearance of the hairline.


Who is a Good Candidate for the Surgery?


  • Females experiencing severe hair loss, including those who have lost a significant amount of hair and are concerned about genetic hair loss.
  • Females with strong donor areas.
  • Women who are in generally good health.
  • Females who do not have hormonal issues, these problems should be treated prior to surgery. 
  • Women aged 25-60. 


The Procedure with DHI Technology

The planning and approach for female hair transplants must be completely different in order to achieve the desired aesthetic results. Here is how the procedure goes:


  • A medical examination of the donor and recipient areas is required.
  • Then, the number of follicles to be implanted is determined.
  • The surgeon will draw the hairline and determine the areas to be transplanted.
  • The donor area is prepared for extraction by shaving, sterilizing, and administering local anesthesia.
  • The scalp, which will be the recipient area, is locally anesthetized in preparation for the graft implantation stage.
  • The implantation of follicles using the Choi pen. 


Post-operation Instructions for Hair Transplant for Women

Proper aftercare is essential for the success of hair transplantation. It is therefore strongly recommended that you familiarize yourself with the following:


  1. Wear the provided head bandage for a period of two days.
  2. Avoid any bending and maintain a straight posture.
  3. Refrain from washing your hair for 3 days. The first wash will be performed by our clinic's expert staff.
  4. To prevent sweat, limit exposure to heat and humidity, exercise for a minimum of one month, and refrain from sexual intercourse for at least one week.
  5. Refrain from swimming in pools for a minimum of two months and in the sea for a minimum of three months.
  6. Avoid exposure to extremely high temperatures, such as those found in a sauna.
  7. Contact the clinic immediately in case of any side effects (bleeding, swelling, etc.)

FAQs

  • Are female hair transplants in Turkey successful?

When performed by a qualified surgeon, female hair transplants are as successful as males.


  • Is hair transplant procedure painful?

Female hair transplants use local anesthesia to numb the treatment area, so patients experience minimal discomfort from the initial injection. Once the anesthesia takes effect, the rest of the procedure is painless.


  • Do I need to shave my hair before the surgery?

When possible, we offer women the flexibility to choose unshaven, partially shaved, or fully shaved FUE. However, in order to facilitate hair extraction, the donor area on the back of the head (or part of it) must be shaved.


  • Do women's hairlines look soft and natural? How to avoid plugged hairlines?

It takes a great deal of skill to create a natural-looking hairline in women. Surgeons can accomplish this by implanting single hair follicles at the front of the hairline to soften the look, and double or multiple units at the back of the hairline to add density.
