Is hair simulation a surgical procedure?
Hair simulation is not a surgical procedure, but an aesthetic camouflage procedure.
What are the characteristics of the needles used in the hair simulation process?
The needles used in the hair simulation process must be personal, disposable and sterile.
Are the dyes used in hair simulation the same as those used in hair tattooing?
The dyes used in the hair simulation process and the dyes used in the hair tattoo process are different from each other. The dyes used in the hair simulation process are produced specifically for this process. Since they remain on the surface of the scalp, they do not damage the hair follicles, do not change color, and are spontaneously eliminated from the body on average 3-5 years after application for skin health. They do not contain carcinogenic substances during this excretion. The dyes used in hair tattooing are permanent on the skin for a lifetime, may change color due to sweating, and damage the hair follicles because they penetrate under the skin.
Is the hair simulation process a painful procedure?
Since the hair simulation process is not a surgical procedure and numbing creams are applied before the procedure, it is a painless procedure.
Can hair simulation be performed again after hair simulation removal?
Yes, it is possible to have hair simulation performed again after hair simulation removal.
Who cannot have hair simulation?
Hair simulation procedure is not applied to cancer patients, diabetics, anemia patients, pregnant women, those with acne or eczema on the scalp, those who do not feel psychologically ready to have this procedure, or psoriasis patients.
Does hair simulation process cause ablution?
Since the dye used in the hair simulation process does not penetrate under the skin but remains on the surface, it facilitates ablution.
Is the hair simulation process permissible?
The dye used in the hair simulation process is not a permanent process and is permissible as it will come off on its own after a while.
What are the causes of hair loss?
There are many reasons that affect hair loss. These;
Age (As age increases, hair loss increases.)
Hormonal changes (Impairment or inadequacy of hormone function increases hair loss.)
Some diseases that cause hair loss
Family history of baldness or genetic factors
burns
injury
Undiagnosed and untreated ringworm disease
Iron and protein deficiency
Excessive vitamin A intake
rapid weight loss
Some medications such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy
Medical conditions such as lupus
Malnutrition
Excessive use of chemical products

What are the types of hair loss?
Female Pattern Hair Loss: Hair loss in which the hairline is preserved and the hair becomes thinner all over the head is female pattern hair loss. In this type, all hair is rarely lost.
Male Pattern Hair Loss: This is the type of hair loss where hair loss usually occurs in the front, sides and top of the head. This type is hereditary and can occur at any age. Sometimes all the hair is lost, sometimes only the lines disappear.
Seasonal Hair Loss: Hair loss generally increases during seasonal transitions, especially during the transition from the end of summer to spring. This type of hair loss lasts an average of 2 weeks, and at the end of this period, new hair grows to replace the lost hair. This is very important and necessary for the functioning of the body compared to other types of hair loss.
Alopecia Areata: This type of hair loss is characterized by round or oval hair breakage and is called ringworm. This type of hair loss is related to the immune system and genetic factors.
Toxic Alopecia: This type of hair loss occurs after a high fever or a severe illness. It is thought that certain medications, high intake of vitamin A, and cancer medications are associated with this type of hair loss.
Cicatricial Alopecia: This type of hair loss, which is used to prevent hair from growing back from wounds and burn scars on the scalp, can also be caused by various bacteria and some diseases.
Trichotillomania: This type of hair loss, also known as hair pulling, is usually seen in young children.
What should be the preparation before hair simulation?
Although there is no need to do anything special before the hair simulation, there are a few things that are important to do.
Since this procedure is an aesthetic intervention, the person who is considering having the procedure first must feel psychologically ready for the procedure.
Pre- and post-procedure appearances should be investigated to ensure that expectations are not set too high.
The place where the procedure will be performed, the dye, needle and machines to be used in the procedure should be investigated in detail.
Before the procedure, health checks should be performed and it should be determined whether there is a condition that may cause the hair simulation procedure.
What should be taken into consideration after the hair simulation procedure?
On the first day, the treated area should be rested, no cream or moisturizer should be applied, and this area should not be wetted or moistened.
The application area can be wetted with warm water and bathed without using chemical shampoo 2-3 days after the procedure.
Places that cause excessive sweating (such as sauna, solarium, Turkish bath) should be avoided for the first 4 weeks after the procedure.
Accessories such as hats and berets should not be used for long periods of time until the first 4 weeks after the procedure.
50 SPF sunscreen should be applied before going out in the sun and should not stay in the sun for a long time.
You can shave 2-3 days after the procedure.
Control sessions should be held 20-30 days after the main sessions of the hair simulation process.
If there is a crust or a wound in the application area, these crusts should not be removed and no cream or moisturizer should be applied on them.
There is no need to use special lotion after the procedure.
If there is a shampoo specifically recommended by the specialist performing the procedure, it can be used, otherwise the shampoo used can be continued.
You must wait 5 days for the process to fully settle.
You can fully return to your daily life on the first day of the procedure, and there is no need to take leave from work specific to the procedure.
What do you need to know about hair simulation?
The session of the hair simulation process can last from half an hour to 5 hours depending on the size of the application area.
Hair simulation is not a surgical procedure, but an aesthetic camouflage procedure.
Hair simulation process and hair transplantation process are not alternative methods to each other, on the contrary, they are complementary methods.
Hair simulation is not a permanent procedure and is permissible because it will disappear from the body after a while.
Since the dyes used in the hair simulation process remain on the skin surface and do not penetrate under the skin, they do not damage the hair follicles or spread under the skin.
If the hair simulation process is not performed in a suitable environment and with the appropriate equipment, health problems may occur. The biggest of these problems are infection and allergic problems. Apart from this health problem, if the dye used in the process is not a dye produced specifically for the hair simulation process and is a hair tattoo dye, it will be permanent for a lifetime and does not comply with the health of the skin. It damages hair follicles and changes color due to sweating. It may cause allergic reactions.
The hair simulation process does not have a feature such as hair removal.
