Who is Zak Hardaker?

Zak Alexander Hardaker was born on 17 October 1991 in England. He is a professional rugby player who played in England’s Betfred Super League as a fullback, played internationally, for England and Great Britain. Zak Hardeker had a Fue hair transplantation in early January 2021 and decided to present his experiences to his fans through an Instagram video. Zak Hardeker says that although he is 29 years old, his hair never grew when he shaved his head. Although Zak stated that he was comfortable for a few weeks, he noticed that he had no hair on his head and expressed his dislike for this situation. Zak Hardaker said that he was unhappy with this situation and that he had a Fue Hair Transplantation. Zak Hardeker explains the operation as follows – local anesthesia was the most difficult part of the operation, I was relieved after local anesthesia and I did not feel any pain during the procedure, and most importantly, I watched and enjoyed the series while having Fue hair transplantation. During Zak’s Fue hair transplantation, 2800 follicular units of hair follicles were added and 5000 GBP was spent for 2800 grafts of hair transplantation. The hair transplantation specialists were Turkish experts, and when it comes to hair transplantation, people in many countries think of Turkey because Turkey’s famous hair transplantation clinics offer much more affordable prices and higher quality for the rest of the world.

What is Hair Transplantation?

Hair transplantation is a surgical operation performed by specialists who take the hair follicles from a part of the body called the ‘donor area’ to a bald or hairless area known as the ‘recipient area’. The technique is primarily used to treat male pattern baldness, but many women have had hair transplantation. In this minimal application procedure, grafts containing hair follicles that are genetically resistant to baldness, that is, without the risk of hair loss (such as the back of the head), are transplanted into bald or hairless skin. Hair transplantation can also be used to restore eyelashes, eyebrows, chest hair, pubic hair and fill scars caused by accidents or surgeries such as facelifts and previous hair transplantations. Hair naturally occurs in groups consisting of 1 or 4 strands of hair. There are two different hair transplantation methods that are used the most, namely the FUT (Follicular Unit Transfer) and the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction).

How is hair transplantation done?

Before having a hair transplantation, you should review the procedure, these procedures are usually done in the doctor’s office. First, the specialist will cleanse your head and inject a numbing medicine to the back of your head. There are many methods for hair transplantation, but generally FUE and FUT methods are used, the specialist doctor starts the procedure by choosing one of them, then takes hair follicles called grafts from the nape root and puts them aside. The specialist doctor’s team then divides the removed scalp strip into 500 to 1,000 small grafts, each containing a single or a few strands of hair. If you are using the FUE hair transplantation method, the specialist doctor’s team will shave the back of your scalp and the doctor will take the hair follicles one by one and place them into the bald area one by one, while the grafts are gently placed with the help of a scalpel or needle. The doctor will also seek help from team members to stitch the grafts.

Types of Hair Transplantation

Hair transplantation is very common today and there are many types of hair transplantations as well, although there are many hair transplantation methods, the most preferred method is the FUE method. The type of hair transplantation differs according to the way the hair follicles are collected from the scalp and the way they are injected into the scalp. Today, technology is at an advanced level. With this development, hair transplantation has been made painless and without scarring. Since the beginning of hair transplantation, it has had 2 main objectives: To obtain a high-yielding natural result and enable hair transplantation for patients.

Let’s take a look at a few of the most used methods

FUT Method

Before hair transplantation, a thick strip is removed from the nape of the neck which is the donor area. After separating the rooted parts of the hair from the skin tissues under a microscope, they are carefully sewn into the bald area in strips. After the treatment, an 8-12 cm scar remains in the sutured area. According to the experts’ opinion, it is advantageous to transplant more hair follicles at once, but FUT hair transplantation method is not preferred because it is painful and comes with discomfort.

FUE Method

The FUE hair transplantation method is like FUT, but the hair follicles are taken one by one, not in strips. The FUT method is not used anymore to enable a natural appearance and avoid stitch marks. This method is painless for the patient.
