What is hair strengthening?
Hair strengthening is not the name of a single device or product; it is an approach that focuses on understanding the condition of existing hair, choosing appropriate care for the scalp, and monitoring the change in hair loss. We start by talking about why your hair is thinning and in which areas the loss begins.
Hair strands breaking, falling out from the root and thinning over time are not the same thing. A family history of hair loss, recent illnesses, medications used, or scalp problems may indicate different causes. We do not claim that a single product will provide the same results for everyone; we recommend evaluation by a dermatologist when necessary.
When you contact us in Beşiktaş, Istanbul, we answer your questions about hair strengthening and clearly explain the difference between hair transplantation and supporting existing hair.
Send us your questions about your hair ↗To understand hair loss, we look at three issues
The initial pattern and progression of hair loss are as important as the cause. That's why we don't just ask which shampoo you use during the consultation.
Time and form of shedding
We ask when your hair started to thin and whether the loss occurred suddenly or slowly. We are talking about the differences between regression in the frontal hairline, lightening in the crown area and general thinning.
Symptoms on the scalp
We find out if you are experiencing itching, redness, flaking or sensitivity. If these symptoms are present, we explain the importance of medical examination instead of turning only to cosmetic products.
Daily grooming habits
We're talking about tight hair updos, heat styling, coloring, and the products you use. We distinguish between habits that can increase breakage and causes of hair loss that affect the hair follicle.

Why does hair thin and fall out?
Hair shedding a certain amount every day is part of the natural growth cycle. However, if your hair part is gradually widening, if there is a gap in the crown area, or if you have lost significant hair in a short time, it is important to investigate the underlying cause.
Hereditary hair loss, hormonal changes, stressful periods, diseases, some medications and nutritional deficiencies can lead to hair loss in different forms. We do not answer you based on a single reason or a single product. We listen to your hair loss story and focus on providing accurate guidance regarding medical examination and necessary tests.
Important: If you have sudden regional hair loss, pain on the scalp, wounds or significant redness, we recommend that you consult a dermatologist without delay.
Ask Us Your Questions ↗What options are on the agenda for hair strengthening?
The purpose of care and medical treatment for hair loss are different. We explain the following topics separately in the first meeting.
Care suitable for the scalp
When talking about shampoo and other care products, we take into account the sensitivity of your scalp, dandruff and your daily habits. We do not give the impression that one shampoo treats all causes of hair loss.
Treatments determined by the physician
Depending on the cause of hair loss, medication, additional examination or a different treatment may be required. We emphasize that the choice of treatment, duration of use and possible side effects should be explained by the physician.
Information about PRP
We explain what PRP is, why it is talked about and why it does not provide the same results for everyone. PRP, In our Long DHI treatment package It takes place; You can also ask about the scope of a separate hair strengthening service.

What place does PRP have in hair strengthening?
PRP (platelet rich plasma) is a medical practice in which a product prepared from a person's own blood is used. Although it can be considered as a supportive option for some types of hair loss, it does not have the same effect on everyone. The physician's decision is important in which situation PRP is appropriate and how it is applied.
Istanbul as Stella Hair PRP application in our Long DHI package We offer. We explain to you the scope of this service and its place during operation. You can find out in the initial consultation whether there is a PRP service or application plan under the title of hair strengthening.
If you are considering using vitamins, minerals or hair supplements, we recommend that you first consult your doctor to see if there is any deficiency. Taking high doses of supplements when not necessary may do more harm than good.

What can you pay attention to to protect your hair?
We explain that tying your hair tightly, combing it harshly, and frequently styling it with high heat can contribute to loss of hair strands due to breakage or shrinkage. We recommend that you do not use products that irritate your scalp, and if you experience burning or redness, report this to your healthcare professional.
Regular nutrition is important; However, we do not recommend the same vitamin or supplement program for everyone. If you are using a prescription medication, do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor that hair loss may be related to it.
If you have had a hair transplant, daily care recommendations may be different. We also cover this process in the guide we prepared for the first wash and post-operative product use.
Check out our Patient Guide after hair transplantation ↗Is hair transplantation the same thing as supporting existing hair?
No. Hair strengthening addresses existing hair, scalp health and causes of loss. In hair transplantation, we place the hair follicles we take from the appropriate donor area in sparse or open areas.
We do not expect care products to create new follicles to replace completely lost hair follicles. Hair transplantation does not mean that your current hair will not fall out in the future. For this reason, we explain the importance of evaluating hair loss and the need for hair transplantation separately.

We answer your questions about hair loss, PRP, products and follow-up.
Does hair strengthening stop hair loss completely?
No. Hair loss may have hereditary, hormonal, nutritional or other medical causes. That's why we focus on finding out the reason for your shedding first. We are not saying that a single application will stop all types of shedding.
Can thinned hair strands become thick again?
In some types of hair loss, the appearance of the hair can be improved with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. However, not all thinning is reversible. We discuss the condition of your hair strands and possible options with a physician's evaluation.
Is PRP used in hair strengthening process?
PRP is a procedure that uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from the person's own blood. It can be considered as one of the supportive options in some types of hair loss; results vary from person to person. Istanbul Stella Hair's Long DHI treatment package includes PRP. You can find out in the initial consultation whether hair strengthening service is also offered.
Should I have a blood test for hair loss?
No. It is not right to request the same tests for every hair loss. The physician may evaluate your health history and the condition of your scalp and request blood tests or other examinations if deemed necessary.
Which shampoo prevents hair loss?
There is no single shampoo that prevents all causes of hair loss. We consider shampoo selection along with the sensitivity of the scalp, dandruff and the need for cleansing. We recommend medical examination when necessary to determine the cause of the shedding.
What is the difference between hair strengthening and hair transplantation?
Under the heading of hair strengthening, we focus on the condition of existing hair and scalp. In hair transplantation, we transfer the hair follicles we take from the appropriate donor area to the sparse areas. It is not possible to fill every area without hair follicles with care products.
When will hair strengthening results be seen?
This time depends on the cause of the hair loss and the approach followed. It often takes time to evaluate changes due to the hair's growth cycle. We recommend that you follow the change with images taken with similar light and angle, rather than a single photograph.
What should I do if my hair loss has suddenly increased?
If sudden, intense or regional hair loss is accompanied by itching, pain, redness or wounds, we recommend that you consult a dermatologist without delay. Do not stop your prescription medications at your own discretion and do not start using supplements randomly.
