How to understand the best hair transplant center?
× Since hair transplantation requires professionalism, it should be performed by people who have been specially trained and experienced in hair transplantation.
× Since hair transplantation is a surgical procedure, the best hair transplantation center should be a place that is prepared against complications that may occur during and after the procedure and that performs hair transplantation under sterile conditions.
× The best hair transplant center performs hair analysis for the candidate first. Hair analysis determines the type of hair loss and calculates how many hair follicles are needed for hair transplantation, then a donor area for the candidate and analyzes whether there are enough hair follicles in this area. If the candidate does not have enough hair follicles in the donor area, hair transplantation may fail for that patient. In some cases, the candidate can achieve the desired appearance when he has a second hair transplant.
× For hair transplantation, the type of hair loss is more important than age. If the scalp is seen directly with the eye, hair transplantation can be considered as a effective treatment. Being aware of this, the best hair transplant center should determine first the type and stage of hair loss. For example, if the candidate has male-pattern hair loss, this hair loss is lifelong and slows down after the age of 35. Since hair loss continues after the age of 35, the candidate may consider getting a second or third hair transplant done.
× Hair transplantation can be performed not only for hair loss, but also for hair loss after burns, empty spots in the eyebrow, those who have had hair transplantation before but are not satisfied with the result, and areas that are partially bald due to some reasons.
