A Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant is a state-of-the-art surgical procedure designed to combat hair loss. This method involves meticulously extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area, typically located at the back of the head where hair is more resistant to balding. These harvested follicles are then implanted into areas that are experiencing thinning or baldness.
One of the key advantages of the FUE technique is its minimally invasive nature. Unlike older methods, FUE does not involve cutting a strip of scalp from the donor area, thereby avoiding a linear scar. Instead, it uses a precise, micro-punch tool to individually remove follicles, leaving tiny, almost undetectable scars. This results in a quicker healing process and allows patients to wear their hair short without visible scarring.
Male hair loss, or male-pattern baldness, can begin as early as puberty and affect men at various stages throughout their lives. While some may experience hair loss in their early years, others may not notice significant thinning until later in life. By the age of 80, up to 80% of men will have experienced some degree of hair loss.
Male hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, occurs when hairs sensitive to the effects of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is converted from testosterone, begin to undergo thinning and become progressively smaller, shorter, and more transparent. This process is known as miniaturization, where the thick "terminal" hairs of youth are slowly transformed into these thinner "vellus" hairs. Eventually, these vellus hairs are lost, leading to progressive baldness.
While hair transplants are often perceived as primarily for men, they are also a significant solution for women facing hair loss. Around 30% of women over the age of 30 experience thinning hair, making hair transplants a common procedure to enhance hair density and address female hair loss.
Hair transplants can also be utilized to restore the hairline in women who have lost their frontal hairline due to aging or were born with a naturally high hairline. Additionally, for women who have undergone previous surgical rejuvenation procedures such as facelifts or brow lifts, hair transplants can effectively cover exposed scars in areas like the temples, sideburns, and behind the ears.
For various reasons, some men lack facial hair and desire a stronger lower facial appearance, either in the mustache or beard area. Some men have sparse hair on the lower face and can't grow a substantial beard. These men might want to restore facial hair to achieve a more defined and confident look.
For instance, Asians may have minimal beard hair, which may be inconsistent and patchy. In such cases, the goal is to strengthen and enhance the existing hair shape or create inline symmetry by filling blank areas.
Studies show that men with beards are perceived as more self-reliant, mature, and grounded. Unfortunately, not all men are naturally blessed with great facial hair, making beard restoration increasingly popular.
In recent years, eyebrow hair transplantation has gained significant popularity as a solution for thinning eyebrows and bald patches above the eyes. Performed by Dr. Mesut Demir and his expert team, this procedure addresses eyebrow loss caused by various factors, including hypothyroidism and overplucking. Repeated plucking can permanently damage eyebrow follicles, making surgical intervention necessary.
Dr. Mesut Demir emphasizes that while the procedure might seem straightforward, it requires exceptional artistry and technical precision. This high level of skill ensures excellent results and prevents poor outcomes that are difficult to correct.
