Espoir Clinic Uncategorized Post a Comment

You’ve gone through hair loss, and now you’re scheduled for a hair replacement procedure. Follow this list of Dos and Don’ts before hair transplant

Do’s :

Wash your hair in the evening and morning of the surgery. Check with our specialist about any special shampoos you need to use.
Wear comfortable clothing with a front opening, nothing that has to be pulled over your head after surgery.
Bring a button-up shirt to wear home.
If you are diabetic, please tell our surgeon, he will advise you about how to handle your diet and insulin management on the day of surgery.
If you have symptoms of fever, cough, shortness of breath, or body aches tell us prior to the surgery.
Refrain from any form of casual exercise 3-7 days prior to surgery. If you weight train, body build or do strenuous cardio exercise, please refrain from this type of activity for at least 1 week prior to surgery.
Eat a light breakfast (nothing fatty, fried, or greasy) the morning of the procedure.

Don’ts:

Don’t drink alcohol or take multivitamins, vitamin B, or vitamin E supplements for 7 days prior to your surgery, alcohol makes you more likely to bleed during a surgical procedure.
Don’t smoke 3 days prior to surgery, especially not on the day of the surgery, because it reduces blood flow to the scalp.
Don’t take medications the day before surgery without asking your surgeon if it’s okay.
Don’t cut or color your hair. Leave your hair long in the back and on the sides to cover the sutures or staples after your procedure.
Stop taking any anti-inflammatory medications or vitamin supplements that contain aspirin, ibuprofen (e.g. Motrin, Aleve, Advil, etc.), herbs that increase blood flow or thin the blood (Echinacea, Ginkgo Biloba, Garlic), and Vitamin E for 2 weeks before the procedure. These medications increase your risk for bleeding making it very difficult for your newly transplanted grafts “to take.”
Don’t use cortisone creams and lotions containing green tea, jasmine tea, or spices.
Don’t drink supplements or energy drinks at least 3 days before surgery.
Don’t eat Indian, middle eastern, or Asian foods for 10 days before surgery, you can eat whatever you want as soon as the procedure is done.

*Follow the instructions of our medical experts if they differ from these or submit your questions to us.

Hair transplant methods and effectiveness

Espoir Clinic Uncategorized Post a Comment

What is a hair transplant?

Hair transplant is a procedure in which a plastic or dermatological surgeon moves hair from the back or side of the head – where the healthy hair follicles that are genetically resistant to balding- to the recipient site, typically it occurs in a medical office under local anesthesia.

Hair transplantation can also be used to restore eyelashes, eyebrows, beard hair, chest hair. Also, to fill in scars caused by accidents or surgery such as face-lifts and previous hair transplants.

Espoir Clinic provides you with hair transplantation procedures performed by our specialists with a success rate that goes up to 100%.

Do hair transplants work?

The thin appearance of our hair can sadly make us insecure and uncomfortable. That’s why Espoir Clinic provides you with hair transplantation procedures performed by our specialists with a success rate that goes up to 100%.

The results as seen on our patients are usually amazing with hair that is natural, healthy, voluminous, and pleasant looking.

What are the methods of hair transplant?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) :

There are three main methods in the application of FUE :

Micro FUE: In this method, micro-needles are used, and hair follicles are taken. The main reason for removal is to support the formation of new hair follicles and cell regeneration. The incisions have a range of approximately 0.6 to 0.9 mm. The hair follicles near the incisions allow hair roots and new cells to form there. Thus, effective hair transplantation is performed without damaging the tissue.
Sapphire FUE: In this method, the devices and needles in the micro method are not used. The main feature of this technique is that the tips used are made of sapphire material, not metal. At the same time, this method can be applied to the scalp with hair. Microchannels are opened to allow cell renewal on the scalp. Then, different stages are applied to ensure that the hair becomes denser and longer over time.
Soft FUE: The process applied in this method is also applied as a sub-technique. You can have this procedure done under local anesthesia in a completely safe and painless way.

U-FUE (Unshaven hair transplant/Undetectable FUE) :

Unshaven hair transplantation methods are based on two different techniques:

The FUE method: a one-session method, 4 thousand grafts, in other words, hair roots, can be used for the transplantation. In this process, hair root transplantation is performed with micro-needles.
The DHI method: This method requires more sessions, there are 3 thousand hair follicles that can be transplanted.

These methods can allow three hairs to grow from one root. As a result, the hair becomes fuller and thicker in a much shorter time.

Compared to other methods, unshaven hair transplantation is preferred more often by patients. The reason for this is that it is done very quickly and can be applied to long hair. It is also carried out with a lot of success. Complete recovery is achieved within 10 days. Patients can return to their routines in a very short time

DHI (Direct Hair Implant):

In this method sample roots are taken from the areas with the highest hair density and transplantation is performed in the most hairless areas. If patients are completely bald, an agreement can be made with a different donor. Hair follicles are naturally obtained from the donor and transplanted onto the patient’s head.

While all these methods are effective, the best option for you will depend on your individual needs and the recommendations of your specialist.

Why choose Turkey for hair transplant?

Espoir Clinic Uncategorized Post a Comment

Over the past decades, Turkey has become one of the world’s hottest tourist destinations. It is also an emerging destination for medical tourism especially for surgeries such as hair transplantation.

Here are the reasons why you should consider Turkey to fix your hair loss problem:

The success rate and satisfaction of patients:

In Turkey, the hair transplant success rate is largely related to the expertise of the medical staff. When performed by a medical team with considerable experience, the success rate is at 98%. This means that only 2 out of 100 hair transplantations may fail.

The affordable prices:

Hair restoration surgeries in Turkey are known to be way more affordable but without compromising on quality. Sometimes prices are lower by at least 70% compared to similar procedure costs in Western countries such as in the UK, US, France, or Germany. That is due to the favorable currency exchange and the aid the Turkish government is offering to medical clinics that are welcoming international patients.

Turkey is a European country, an Asian country, a Middle Eastern country, a Balkan country, a Caucasian country, a neighbor to Africa, Black Sea country, Caspian Sea, all these.

Come take a glimpse into the heart of Turkey

Turkey’s location geographically:

Another factor that makes Turkey the best destination for hair transplants is its unique location that provides certain leverages for international influence.

Istanbul is one of the five cities in the world that connects two continents which contributes to making it a famous destination for health tourism.

In addition to that, it’s an opportunity for patients to benefit from an unforgettable holiday prior to or after their surgery. They could enjoy the historical monuments of the city such as Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace Museum, and The Blue Mosque.

High-quality procedures with modern technologies :

In order to provide the best services for their patients, clinics in Turkey are usually equipped with new and modern medical devices that comply with recognized international standards which makes it the best choice for those who are seeking a hair transplant.
