Hair Transplant Techniques
There are different used techniques to perform hair transplant surgery:
FUE
Technique
Done By Extracting the grafts from donor area one by one
it`s safe and doesn`t leave scars
Lateral Slit
Technique
it is considered one of the best techniques that provides hair growth in same directions and angles
DHI
Technique
Does not require shaving hair before the operation and therefore it can be performed in some cases, especially in hair transplantation for women
Sapphire
FUE Technique
Difference is the type of material which used to open channels, this technique evaluated from FUE technique
FUE Technique:
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) Hair Transplant: A Contemporary Method for Hair Regrowth
Loss of hair can have a significant impact on a person’s self-esteem and well-being. Various hair restoration techniques have been devised over time to address this issue. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant has acquired popularity as a result of its efficacy and minimally invasive nature.
What is FUE Hair Restoration?
FUE hair transplant entails the extraction of individual hair follicles from a donor area, typically the back of the scalp, and their transplantation to balding or thinning areas of the scalp. FUE does not require the removal of a strip of tissue from the donor area, resulting in a shorter recovery period and less scarring.
The FUE Technique:
Donor Area Preparation: The surgeon shortens the donor area’s hair, making the individual follicles easier to extract.
Extraction of Hair Follicles: The surgeon uses a specialized piercing instrument to extract hair follicles from the donor area. The instrument creates microscopic circular incisions around each follicular unit using a micro-motor device whose diameters range from 0.6 to 0.8 mm so as not to leave scars or spots in the skin after recovery. , The hair follicles then extracted using forceps
FUE technique , provides the extraction of a large number of healthy follicles in a very short time. This technique is one of the best techniques used now in terms of extracting follicles, and it is used in all hair transplant centers in Turkey without exception
Once the donor follicles have been extracted, the surgeon will prepare the recipient sites in the balding or thinning regions of the scalp by using Lateral Slit technique, which is used to open the channels with a sharp, precise tool, it is considered one of the best techniques that provides hair growth in uniform directions and angles. It also provides hair growth at oblique angles on the scalp and thus gives a natural and aesthetic appearance to the scalp and to the person who has With transplantation, its results are 95% natural if the surgeon who opens the channels has sufficient experience in this field because the directions of the original hair must be taken in order to unify and merge the old hairs with the new onesThese sites are purposefully designed to promote natural hair growth patterns and optimal aesthetic outcomes.
The extracted hair follicles are then transplanted with extreme precision into the recipient locations. The surgeon considers the angle, direction, and density of the transplanted hairs to obtain a natural-looking result.
Advantages of FUE Hair Transplantation:
FUE is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require the removal of a strip of tissue, thereby reducing the risk of complications and resulting in minimal scarring.
With Hair Transplant by Fue technique we can do up to 6000 grafts, which will be done in 3 phases and will take 6 to 8 hours regarding to grafts number and type of hair
Natural Outcomes: The extraction and transplantation of hair follicles individually allows for precise placement that mimics the natural hair growth pattern. This results in a hairline and overall appearance that appear more natural.
The absence of a linear incision facilitates quicker healing and recovery. Typically, patients can recommence their normal activities a few days after a procedure.
FUE hair transplant preserves the donor area by extracting individual follicles while leaving the adjacent hair intact. This enables the possibility of future transplantation procedures.
FUE Extraction Phase
During this phase we open around the grafts which we need to extract by using the micromotor device , then the graft will be ready to take it out
we can use different punches in this process up on the grafts type and the areas we are working on
normally punch sizes differ between 0.6 to 0.8 mm
this process is very safe for donor area hair if it done in the right way
Channels Phase
in channel phase we open the holes for hair follicles in the bald areas to make it ready for inserting the grafts
this step is very important because we determine the way and density of hairs during it
this process takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour
definitely there is no pain while we open the channels of hairs
Hair Implantation Phase
after preparing grafts and holes last step will be inserting those grafts to the channels
we use single hair grafts for the frontal line to be natural
this process could take up to 4 hours as we implant grafts one by one
during this surgery our team will be 2 to 4 members
Sapphire-FUE Technique:
Sapphire technique, which is the technology developed from the lateral slate technique and FUE Technique, where the sharp tool to open the channels made of sapphire material, in this technique there is no difference at all in principle and stages, but the difference is Only in the type of material from which the precise head is made to open the channels. Of course, this does not affect the result in hair transplantation, because as we mentioned previously, the natural results of hair transplantation depend on the experience of the surgeon, but the use of this technique Helps heal wounds faster after hair transplant
FUE Extraction Phase
During this phase we open around the grafts which we need to extract by using the micromotor device , then the graft will be ready to take it out
we can use different punches in this process up on the grafts type and the areas we are working on
normally punch sizes differ between 0.6 to 0.8 mm
this process is very safe for donor area hair if it done in the right way
Channels Phase
in channel phase we open the holes for hair follicles in the bald areas to make it ready for inserting the grafts
this step is very important because we determine the way and density of hairs during it
this process takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour
definitely there is no pain while we open the channels of hairs
Hair Implantation Phase
after preparing grafts and holes last step will be inserting those grafts to the channels
we use single hair grafts for the frontal line to be natural
this process could take up to 4 hours as we implant grafts one by one
during this surgery our team will be 2 to 4 members
DHI Technique:
DHI technique or Choi pens technique, this technique has begun to be promoted by some hair transplant centers as a modern technique, but it is actually an old technique and it relies on hair transplantation by means of pens directly in the scalp without resorting to opening channels and so it`s faster than FUE technique, we can performed through the DHI technique up to 5000 follicles in one session.
In this technique, the follicle is placed in a pen and implanted into the scalp. This technique does not require shaving the hair before the operation and therefore it can be performed in some cases, especially in the case of hair transplantation for women.
DHI technique done in two phases:
Hair Extraction
We perform this part as we perform FUE technique exactly so that requires shaving of the donor area hair
Hair Implantation
Will be done by inserting the hairs inside scalp by using Choi pens , this part not requires shaving the hairs
Manual FUE Hair Transplant
This technique is same as Standard FUE technique but the main difference is by using the manual Extractor instead of Micromotor device, so it will be same steps as well:
- Hair Extraction
- Channels
- Hair Implantation
Pain Free Hair Transplant
We perform Hair transplant under local anesthesia so you will not feel any pain during surgery, normally our patients feel pain just in the first 5 to 10 minutes during local anesthesia injections but after that definitely there is no pain
What about donation area?
Most of the patients care about the hair transplant results but some of them care about the donor areas and how it will be after the surgery
we like to say that we care so much about your donor area hair even after the surgery , we take the grafts during extraction session carefully and in wide- random areas
in this way we can get big number of grafts but small count of grafts from wide area so even no body will recognize that you did hair transplant after 20 days of surgery
Normally Hair Growth rate for Front area after hair transplant is very high you can expect more than 90% of implanted hair survive and grow in the next 8 months after surgery
that percentage is a bit lower for middle area , like 75% of implanted hair
but the situation is different for crown area , so you can say between 50 to 60% of transplanted hair could survive
Frequently Asked Questions
About hair transplant surgery in Turkey
How long do hair transplants last?
Hair transplant surgery lasts between 6 to 8 hours regarding to the number of grafts we will work on , some operations need to be separated to 2 sessions on Two consecutive days
Does hair in the donor area grow back?
Hair follicles are completely extracted from the donor area and transferred to other areas, which means that the extracted hair follicles are no longer available in the donor area. This is the main reason why specialists work on a larger donor area at the back of the scalp to make the hair loss less noticeable.
That is, the surgeon expands the area of the donor area and takes hair follicles randomly scattered from that area so that no hair weakness appears in that area after the completion of the operation
When the donor area is small for hair transplantation, the patient faces difficulty in hiding the hair spaces in the donor area.
What is the best time to do hair transplant?
It is known that winter is the best time for hair transplantation to get better results.
But some new studies and research have reported that summer helps in facilitating better regeneration of the transplanted skin and hair after hair transplantation.
Nevertheless, caution must be exercised, avoiding direct sunlight, and not swimming for at least a month after the operation, as direct sunlight hinders the recovery process and may cause damage to the transplanted hair.
is there any warranty for transplanted hair ?
we give our patients warranty letter says that 80% of implanted hair in front and middle are lifetime guaranteed, and 50% of implanted hairs for crown area
Do you have to shave your head for a hair transplant?
Most hair transplant operations require a complete shaving before the operation, as the operation through the FUE technique or the Sapphire technique.
But with the development of hair transplant techniques, it became possible to perform the operation without the need to shave the hair in the receiving area, as the DHI hair transplant helped greatly in this regard.
But shaving the donor area is imperative in all hair transplant methods
What are the disadvantages of hair transplant?
There are some mild side effects after hair transplantation, but they disappear within a few days
Such as:
- Bleeding during the first and second night from the donor area
- Redness of the hair transplantation area and the donor area for two weeks after the operation
- Swelling in the forehead area during first week
Sometimes bruises around the eyes - Some crusts form on the hair transplantation areas ten days after the operation
- Numbness or lack of sensation in the treated areas of the scalp
- Inflammation or infection of the hair follicles, which is known as folliculitis, and therefore an anti-inflammatory should be used immediately after the operation to avoid this from happening
- Traumatic alopecia, or the sudden but temporary loss of transplanted hair
