When considering what type of hair transplant method is best, there are a wide variety of factors that you must consider. At Vera Clinic, we offer the best hair transplants in Turkey, helping a vast number of people achieve a full, natural looking head of hair, with an excellent aftercare plan.
If you are wondering which type of hair transplant method is best for you, follow this guide to see the various elements worth considering. We can help you decide which hair transplant method is best, so you can make an informed decision when it comes to your hair transplant procedure here in Istanbul.
Age Consideration
You must consider your age for hair transplant surgery. Many people of an older age often choose to have a hair transplant, due to male and female pattern baldness, but many younger individuals are now choosing to have hair transplant procedures.
Generally, the best age for a hair transplant is after the age of 30, as this is the age range when hair loss generally becomes more predictable.
Some exceptions can be made, depending on individuals and their requirements, but the best age for a hair transplant is often within the 30+ age range as your hair loss pattern will be fully determined.
Hair loss speed is also a determining factor here. If your hair loss speed is increasing, we may consider allowing you to have a hair transplant procedure before the age of 30.
Hair Type
The type of hair you have also has an impact on which hair transplant method is best for you. There are some types of hair unsuitable for a hair transplant, and some types of hair that are more suitable for hair transplants than others.
We can offer FUE hair transplants for a wide variety of hair types. These include Afro hair transplants and hair transplants for women, among many others.
All of these are FUE type transplants. We do not offer FUT hair transplants as they do not offer as effective results. Hair texture is just as important as hair thickness in this respect.
Those with thicker hair require fewer hair grafts to achieve the same cosmetic results. Additionally, thicker hair allows for more light to be blocked from reflected from the scalp, resulting in a better overall aesthetic following a hair transplant.
Donor Area Capacity
Donor area capacity is one of the most important factors when we consider what type of hair transplant, we need to give you. This will determine who will be a good candidate for a hair transplant, and those with a good hair density are more likely to be better candidates for an FUE hair transplant procedure.
Our expert surgeons will look for a good density of hair follicles around the donor area of your scalp, which is usually the back or sides of the scalp.
If you have a low density of hair follicles, this is a type off hair unsuitable for a hair transplant as you will need to have moderate to high levels of hair density in order to be able to successfully transfer your donor follicles to the balding area.
Flexibility of Scalp
Scalp flexibility, or scalp laxity, is something we consider at Vera Clinic to determine which hair transplant method is best. A tight scalp is an indication of low laxity, which will make your type of hair unsuitable for a hair transplant, whereas high laxity, or a loose scalp, will make you an ideal candidate for a hair transplant.
By booking a one-to-one consultation with our expert team, you can figure out whether your type of hair is unsuitable for a hair transplant or not, as well as figuring out which hair transplant is best for you.
Hamilton-Norwood Scale Level
The Hamilton Norwood scale is a scale used to measure the extent of your pattern baldness. The Hamilton Norwood Scale of male pattern baldness will allow you to figure out what stage of balding you are currently at. There are seven Norwood Hamilton classifications, which will determine your eligibility and what hair transplant method is best.
The Norwood Hamilton hair loss scale stages are known as the following:
Hamilton Norwood Scale: Stage 1
No hair loss or very minor hairline recession.
Hamilton Norwood Scale: Stage 2
Slight recession of the frontal hairline, which is often unnoticeable upon the Norwood Hamilton hair loss scale.
Hamilton Norwood Scale: Stage 3
Noticeable hair loss within the frontal hairline and temples.
Hamilton Norwood Scale: Stage 4
Noticeable hair loss presenting as a hairless bridge between the temples. This stage is when hair loss is most noticeable on the Norwood Hamilton scale.
Hamilton Norwood Scale: Stage 5
This is known as severe hair loss on the Norwood Hamilton hair loss scale. This will present as some thin hair remaining on the scalp, receding on all sides.
Hamilton Norwood Scale: Stage 6
Stage 6 of the Norwood Hamilton hair loss scale is when there is more visible skin than hair remaining across the entire scalp.
Hamilton Norwood Scale: Stage 7
Stage 7 of the Norwood Hamilton hair loss scale is where there is very little, or no hair remaining.
