SAY GOODBYE TO BALDNESS – A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE HAIR TRANSPLANTATION METHOD
Factors Influencing the Decision on Hair Transplantation Methods – Price and Patient Experience
If you notice significant hair loss, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist to determine the cause and establish a suitable treatment. However, sometimes the desired results are not achieved with therapy, and alopecia remains a visible problem. In such cases, the only option to restore your previous appearance is hair transplantation. Present interventions yield much more positive experiences, with no visible differences between transplanted and natural hair, no scars, and modern interventions are painless.
When it comes to hair transplantation, patient experiences are crucial in decision-making, and another significant dilemma arises among potential hair transplant patients – the cost of the intervention!
What is the best method for hair transplantation, the price, and the procedure?
Concerning hair transplantation, the cost is determined based on the number of grafts or hairs, whether a haircut is required, the quality of the hair, and whether a correction of the hairline is necessary. Besides, various other factors can affect the final choice of the hair transplantation method; the price is just one of them.
When discussing hair growth and hair transplantation, experiences vary and depend on the chosen transplantation method! In the "Colić" hospital, you can choose one of the following interventions, upon which the natural growth of new hair depends:
- FUE Hair Transplantation Method
- PRP Therapy
- Hair Mesotherapy
FUE Hair Transplantation Method
The FUE method represents the most modern, revolutionary, minimally invasive surgical procedure for hair, eyebrow, beard, and mustache transplantation. Concerning hair transplantation, experiences with the FUE method are very positive because it stimulates the natural growth of new hair. What does this involve?
The FUE method is a hair transplantation procedure performed with a specially designed knife that encompasses the follicular unit (transplant or graft) in its entirety. The follicular unit includes one or more hairs together with glands, blood vessels, muscles, and protective fatty tissue. During the initial visit to the doctor, a work plan is created based on your desires, the condition of the hair, and the quality of the donor region, suggesting the number of transplants needed to cover the desired area and proposing how to distribute the grafts to achieve natural density and appearance!
The procedure is carried out under local anesthesia, making it painless, using a microsurgical blade with a diameter of 0.8-0.9 mm, which does not damage the follicles and leaves no visible scars on the donor region. The extracted follicle is stored in a special solution until the transplantation. Depending on the required amount of transplants, this phase may take 1-2 hours.
Next, small incisions are made in the desired region, where the grafts will be carefully inserted. For the best and most natural effects, special attention is paid to the depth, proper distribution, and angle of graft insertion. This procedure is also performed under local anesthesia and takes about 30 minutes. Following this, the grafts are implanted into the desired region. The duration of this phase depends on the amount of transplants that need to be implanted.
After the intervention, an antibiotic ointment and gauze are applied, and to enhance transplant growth, follow the doctor's instructions. The first check-up is the next day – the dressing is removed from the donor region, and for the next 10-14 days, it is not recommended to engage in sports or expose yourself to sunlight. Hair washing is possible the next day with the provided shampoo, and the hair is washed once a day for ten days. The second check-up is after 7 days, and the third check-up is after 2 weeks, when special care is no longer necessary, and the transplanted hair gradually begins to fall out until complete disappearance. Do not worry about the resting period that can last from 3-6 months because natural hair growth begins after that. By the 9th month post-intervention, you will see the effects of the FUE method and be delighted with the results, just like many before you!
