How can hair loss be prevented?

It is of great importance to determine the main factors that cause hair loss in the prevention of hair loss. In the treatment process, various methods can be used, which should be planned under the supervision of a dermatologist. Shampoo, cream, etc. are compatible with the scalp. In addition to the use of cosmetic products, proper nutrition and supplementation of the missing hormones or vitamins in the body can reduce hair loss. In the case of hair loss that occurs as a result of a chronic disease such as thyroid, a treatment plan should be established.

What is hair transplantation?

Depending on the different needs of people, the recommended treatment methods and the extent of hair loss may vary. As a treatment method offered as a solution for hair loss, hair transplantation is performed in the form of transplantation of hair follicles in the neck or any part of the body in places where carliness occurs. In this procedure, which is performed by specialists in the operating room under sterile conditions, the openings in the crown and forehead are usually treated by removing the hair follicles in the stronger areas one by one after local anesthesia and transplanting them where they are needed. This procedure is not painful and can take about 4-6 hours depending on the size of the area to be planted. It is extremely important that the technique used is correct so that the newly transplanted hair adapts to the scalp and grows healthily. After the surgery, it is recommended that the person rests at home for a few days and does not go out. A few weeks after the hair transplant, the hair will fall out, but the hair follicles will remain in place. After these hairs are shed, new hairs grow from the hair follicles that have settled in the skin in a healthy way.
