Micro FIT Hair Transplant in Turkey, like other hair transplant procedures, offers a success rate of over 90%.

What is Micro FIT Hair Transplant?
Micro Follicular Unit Isolation, also known as micrograft hair grafting or follicular transplant is a cosmetic technique used to re-fill the scalp with hair in areas with alopecia or extensive hair loss. It is a combination of SUT and FIT techniques. Surgeons carry out it under local anaesthesia using the patient’s own hair for a more natural follicle result.
Although the acronym “FIT” is widely associated with Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) released guidelines in March 2018 recommending that the technique be redefined as Follicular Unit Excision.The Micro FIT hair transplant procedure utilizes a micro instrument to extract the hair grafts. This micro-device makes incisions ranging from 0.4mm to 0.45mm in diameter that separate the grafts from the surrounding tissue without any damage.
Key Features of Micro FIT Hair Transplant
In micro-FIT hair transplant, the results are very intangible and natural due to the absence of permanent scarring and healing success.
This is how the micro FIT system works:
1. Ultra-Precise Extraction
It is a low-risk procedure that can be called a nonsurgical procedure. MFIT is a bleeding-free, non-surgical, seamless hair loss treatment.
2. Enhanced Natural Results
Micro FIT recovery is faster and simple. It allows for better follicle survival rates, so it leads to higher hair density and seamless blending with existing hair.
3. Minimal Invasiveness
Micro FIT surgery is minimally invasive. Its post surgical side effects are very limited and the method is so flexible. That’s why healing from it is simple compared to regular hair transplant procedures.
4. Suitable for Various Hair Types
Whether you have straight, curly, wavy or coily hair does not greatly affect the success of Micro FIT hair transplant. It is a procedure suitable for every type of hair. The success rate is high even in intensely curly – kinky hair.
Benefits of Micro FIT Hair Transplant
Here are the core benefits of Micro FIT hair restoration:
- It is scar-free. This is because Micro FIT uses ultra-fine punches (0.4mm – 0.45mm) for precision extraction that eliminates linear scars and reduces scalp trauma.
- It offers improved graft viability. Optimized follicular unit preservation provides higher retention and stable growth.
- No deep incisions and sutures! This advantage allows for faster epithelialization and post-procedural recovery.
- Doctors strategically place the extracted follicles on your head. They try to create the most suitable angle and density compatible with your natural hair. This makes sure that the follicles on the transplanted grafts are exactly compatible with your natural hair.
- Post-op complications of Micro FIT are very rare. Lower risks of folliculitis, inflammation, and nerve trauma compared to conventional extraction methods.
- Supports body hair transplantation (BHT) for beards, eyebrows, and temple reconstruction.
- Controlled depth and angulation enhance graft quality, minimizing transaction rates and follicular damage.

The Procedure: Step-by-Step Guide
Initial Consultation
Patient admission and pre-operative consultation is the first step. A specialized hair transplant consultant assesses the severity of the hair loss disorder and recommends a tailored treatment plan.Hairline Design
High-resolution digital trichoscopic imaging is used to document baseline hair density and scalp condition. These images help to monitor progress and allow for a personalized approach. In addition, the frontal hairline and recipient area are carefully designed in consultation with the patient to achieve an aesthetically pleasing and natural look.Donor Area Preparation
Your surgeon determines the donor site (occipital or parietal region) to provide optimal follicular survival and problem-free postoperative recovery. It may be necessary to partially or completely shave the donor area for maximum follicular exposure.Extraction of Grafts
Medical team anesthetizes the donor area, using tumescent local anesthesia. Therefore, they provide a painless extraction process. Then, your surgeon excised individual follicular units (FUs) with microsurgical precision, utilizing ultra-fine hollow punches (0.75–0.90 mm diameter). The extracted grafts, which contain 1 to 4 hair follicles per unit, are immediately stored in a temperature-controlled hypothermosol preservation medium to maintain cellular viability.Recipient Area Preparation
The team also anaesthetises the recipient area. Using high magnification dermatoscopy, the surgeon strategically maps out microscopic incisions that mimic the angle and density of your hair. Custom blade or sapphire microblades create ultra-fine channels to facilitate maximum follicular survival and an undetectable, natural hairline.Implantation of Grafts
With the help of the devices, the doctor performs individual transplants. This process takes hours. Implantation techniques, such as implanter pens, are used for precise placement to ensure optimal follicular density and seamless integration with existing hair.Post-Procedure Care
Patients receive a comprehensive postoperative regimen. This includes antiseptic scalp cleansing, PRP therapy and LLLT to stimulate follicular recovery. Oedema management and anti-inflammatory protocols minimize postoperative swelling and discomfort.Aftercare Tips for Micro FIT Hair Transplant
