Local Anesthesia:
Hair transplantation procedures are usually performed under local anesthesia. In this way, the patient will not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure.

Removal of Hair Roots:
At this stage, hair follicles are removed one by one from the donor area with great care. The surgeon uses a special tool for this procedure. This tool removes the hair follicles from the skin without damaging them. Canals are opened in the area to be transplanted. These channels are the areas where the hair follicles will be placed. When opening the channels, it is important to determine the position of the angles and adjust the density to give the hair transplant a natural appearance.

Placement of Roots:
At this stage, hair follicles are placed in the opened channels. The hair transplant specialist takes great care to ensure the natural appearance of the hair follicles in line with expectations.
