FUE Hair Transplant in Turkey

Follicular unit excision (FUE hair transplant) is a next-gen follicle transplantation, and modernized micro-extraction grafting work that revolutionizes follicular unit restoration. Unlike 90s strip methods, FUE utilizes precision follicle harvesting, so it ensures a few-injured scalp renewal faster. FUE operation involves microsurgical follicular isolation, where one-by-one grafts are delicately extracted-implanted, which preserves their biological vitality for regrowth.

Thanks to shortly invasive follicle reimplantation, patients experience a swift dermal recovery cycle with no horizontal scarring. F.U.E. is the best for high-density hair transplant, and it offers natural angulation adhesion that behaves like real hair patterns. Therefore, it suits diverse hair textures and provides integration.

Post-procedure, specialized scalp bio-revitalization stages enhance graft survival. The reason for this is, they optimize vascularized follicle nourishment for long-term hair health. Whether treating diffuse thinning or high-precision crown enhancement, FUE therapy provides a personalized solution for any type of hair loss. As a result, FUE hair transplant redefines hair aesthetics with dermo-grafting innovations, and delivers lifelong, natural-looking results.

Steps of FUE hair transplant surgery in Turkey

The FUE method in hair transplantation generally includes the following stages:

1. The medical team analyzes your hair.
2. If there is no problem for transplantation, they will then shave your hair, if you didn’t choose U-FUE.
3. After shaving, they determine the hair transplantation boundaries and the front hairline.
4. They apply local anesthesia to the areas where the procedure will be performed.
5. They collect hair strands as grafts from the back area of the shaved hair.
6. Afterwards, these graft hair strands are kept in a solution.
7. While the graft hair strands are kept waiting, the specialist opens channels in the area where the hair transplantation will be performed with the help of a metal knife or sapphire knife with micro-tips.
8. After opening the channels, he transplants the collected hair follicles into this area. Thus, the surgeon completes the operation process [3].

FUE Hair Transplant Technology

 

Follicular Unit Extraction Hair Transplant, also known as FUE procedure. It stands out as one of the most modern hair transplant techniques. Since the follicular unit is narrowest on the surface, it is necessary to use small micro punches of 0.6-0.8 mm in size and is therefore a minimally invasive technique [1]. 

 

The difference of this method is the process of preparing the recipient area. Unlike other hair transplantation methods, surgeons open channels in the scalp with medical blades with micro-tips. In these channels, they transplant the hair collected from the donor area in the following process. 

 

Today, when applying the FUE method, hair transplant specialists commonly use two types of medical blades, and the name of the technique also changes according to them. These blades are sapphire and metal slit blades.

 

Methods Used under FUE Hair Transplant 

There are three techniques under the title of FUE hair transplantation in Turkey. Here are them: 

 

• U-FUE (Unshaven) Hair Transplant in Turkey

U-FUE or unshaven FUE hair transplant in Turkey is specially designed for patients who do not want to shave all of their hair. Because of the better appearance of the scalp after the operation, it’s favored by more and more patients every day. 

 

• Ice (Frozen) FUE Hair Transplant in Turkey

It is the process of using cold equipment to collect hair follicles from the donor area. It is a variation of the standard FUE technique in which individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor site. 

 

• NeoGraft Hair Transplant in Turkey

It is a semi-automated FUE hair transplant in Turkey. It is a scarless hair treatment as it provides the least invasive approach. This new technique is not only suitable for hairline restoration and hair transplantation for the vertex but also suitable for eyebrow and beard transplantation [2].

Learn your eligibility for FUE hair transplant

FUE hair transplantation, due to the absence of a specific age limit, is more inclusive than other techniques. If you;

 

• suffer from Androgenetic Alopecia (male pattern baldness),
• are a healthy individual, typically over the age of 25,

 

you may be a suitable candidate for FUE hair transplant in Turkey. However, you may not be a good candidate if you have serious health issues, allergies or reactions to anesthesia, or if you have AIDS. Additionally, individuals who suffer from complete baldness or have had no hair since birth may not be suitable candidates.

FUE Hair Transplant for Men

On average, 4000 grafts of hair are transplanted with FUE hair transplant in Turkey. This is sufficient for most men suffering from male pattern baldness. For example, Turkish surgeons can safely use FUE hair transplantation to treat a patient at stage 5 on the Norwood Hair Loss Scale.

FUE Hair Transplant for Women

FUE hair transplant in Turkey gives successful results in patients with Androgenetic Alopecia. Although this condition is most common in men (50% in society), 20% to 25% of women also suffer from it. Women prefer the FUE technique because it is a more controlled operation in the hair harvesting and transplanting steps, less damaging to the hair follicles and minimally invasive.
