History of Hair Transplantation

People who have healthy and strong hair always seemed more pleasant or attractive to us. This is why we have always paid more attention to the care of our hair, whether female or male.

       For these reasons, excessive hair loss due to hairlessness or discomfort in the hair will inevitably affect human psychology. We are lucky that this problem is now resolved with hair transplantation centers. So what was this process? In which years it was found and in which years it was developed more? Let's review the answers to these questions about hair transplantation as follows.

       The hair transplant operation was performed by Japanese dermatologist Doctor Okuda for the first time in the world. This surgery took place in 1940. Then, in 1970, the rules of hair transplantation were explained by the American dermatologist Orentreich. In 1988, another American dermatologist, Doctor Benstain, wrote and published a scientific article explaining that it is possible to obtain a completely natural image about hair transplantation, which can be achieved by the follicular unit method.

       Later, firstly, a FUT (Follicular Unite Tranplantation) technique, in which a piece of skin was taken from the neck and the hair follicles in this piece was extracted and transferred to the balding area, emerged. After 2002, we can say that a new technique called fue hair transplantation (Follicular Unite Extraction), which does not need to take a piece of skin from the nape or any area for transplantation, and where the hair follicles are removed one by one, are transferred one by one. After 2005, this new technique has been put into an order for whom, how and how to use it. In a way, borders and rules have been determined.

As new techniques have been obtained about hair transplantation until this period, it is a certain fact that more techniques will emerge as technology advances. Because as the world evolves, technology advances and the techniques used in every respect become more practical. In the techniques that will emerge for hair transplantation, more practical and most importantly healthy developments will follow each other from now on.
