  Among the frequently asked questions about hair transplantation, what is the most curious question; whether the result will be permanent. Hair transplantation is the process of permanent regrowth of areas where you have experienced hair loss before. The main reason for hair loss, especially in men, is the hormone DHT. When the DHT hormone is secreted in excess, it accumulates in the hair follicles and prevents the roots from being fed, and the roots that cannot be fed lose their quality hair production properties over time. This drum forms the basis of hair loss. This is the main reason why the donor area is almost always the nape area. Because the hair follicles on the nape are insensitive to the DHT hormone and are not prone to shedding. After adapting to their new places, this situation continues and you will have permanent hair that you can use for life.
• What are the side effects of hair transplantation?

The area to be planted is anesthetized and the channels are opened where the roots will be placed using blades. When collected, the grafts with some tissue pieces are separated from the tissue pieces and the remaining hair follicles are placed in the channels. In the last stage, the donor area is closed by dressing.
• Where are the grafts used in hair transplantation taken from?

  The hair follicles placed in the area to be transplanted are the grafts that belong to the patient. It is not possible to use a hair follicle taken from someone else in hair transplantation. The grafts used are usually taken from the nape of the patient. In cases where the nape area is not sufficient, it is possible to make the chest or chin area a donor.

Ivf Treatment

• What Is the Success Rate of IVF Treatment?

  In IVF procedures, the age of the mother and the quality of the embryo are among the factors that directly affect the success rate. In addition to age-related statistics, the factors affecting the success of IVF treatment are:

  • High weight (Body Mass Index over 30)
  • Reduced ovarian reserve
  • Sperm quality
  • Problems with sperm attachment and decreased count
  • Problems in the uterus and fallopian tubes
  • Immune system issues damaging sperm and ovaries
  • Presence of conditions such as polyps, adhesions, or endometriosis preventing implantation in the uterus
  • Smoking by both female and male partners
  • Stress, unbalanced nutrition, and alcohol consumption
• What Is the Age Limit for IVF Treatment?

  The IVF treatment process begins with the evaluation of a woman's ovarian reserve. Through an ultrasound and certain hormone tests performed on the 3rd day of menstruation, the ovarian reserve can be assessed. If these examinations determine that the ovarian reserve is in good condition, IVF treatment can be applied up to the age of 45.

  Due to some chromosomal effects associated with advanced maternal age in IVF treatment, the embryo needs to be examined in detail. Additionally, for women who begin IVF treatment at age 38 or older, preimplantation genetic testing is important for evaluating the condition of the embryo. For these reasons, it is recommended that women start treatment without waiting for advanced age.
• What Does the IVF Treatment Process Include?

  In women with regular menstrual cycles, one egg is released each month. When IVF treatment begins, the number of eggs is attempted to be increased with externally administered hormonal medications. Although each treatment procedure may vary, the main goal is to apply hormone therapies that promote egg development while preventing male hormone interference in parallel. During the use of hormonal medications, egg development is monitored, and blood tests and ultrasound examinations are performed to adjust the dosage when necessary. At the end of this monitored process, the eggs that reach the desired maturity are collected using a trigger injection and fertilized in the laboratory with sperm obtained from the male.

  The fertilized eggs are left to develop in a culture medium under controlled temperature and atmosphere in the laboratory for 2 to 6 days. At the end of the specified period, the embryos showing the best development are selected and transferred into the uterus. The number of embryos to be transferred is discussed in detail with the couple, as it directly affects the chance of pregnancy and the risk of multiple pregnancies.
