What Method is the Best for You?
The best hair transplant in Turkey depends on your personal circumstances, including your extent of hair loss, the quality of your donor hair, and your goals and preferences.
The final decision is always yours, but we would suggest to calmly study your case to choose the best approach. The following is just a general guideline:
FUE: allows for the maximum number of grafts.
DHI: allows for the maximum density and minimal scarring.
FUE Sapphire: allows for the maximum number of grafts & density.
⚠️ While DHI may allow for less scarring and more natural results, it only allows for half the quantity of grafts of FUE & Sapphire. In a normal 8-hour session, FUE allows for up to 5000 grafts, compared to 2500 on DHI.
🕰 Patients can undergo more than 1 hair transplant, but must wait for 1 year before a new operation. This should also be taken into consideration.
FUE Hair Transplant in Turkey
Your hair will be shaved and your scalp sedated with local anesthesia. You can also opt for needleless anesthesia if you don’t like needles.
Using a steel tool, your surgeon will open micro-channels of 0.8-1mm diameter to implant the collected grafts.
Hair grafts will be implanted on your recipient area to cover bald spots. It is crucial to employ the right angle to achieve the most natural results.
DHI in Turkey
You will not need to shave your head with the DHI procedure. Anesthesia will be required for a painless operation.
Hair grafts will be extracted with the use of micro-punches and stored within the hollow Choi pen.
Hair grafts will be implanted directly on the scalp, minimizing scarring compared to FUE. The DHI Choi pen also allows for a perfect control of the implantation angle, leading to the most natural results.
FUE Sapphire in Turkey
Your hair be shaved prior to sapphire procedure. Anesthesia will be applied via needles or gas, if preferred.
A micro-punch will be employed to extract hair grafts from your donor area. Grafts will be extracted one by one and stored in a saline solution.
Canal opening will be performed employing extremely thin sapphire blades, allowing for minimal 0.6-0.8mm diameter canals to place implanted grafts.
Hair grafts will be placed in the opened canals employing an implanter tool. Experienced surgeons generate the most natural results by applying the right angle.

The Post-Op Hair Growth Process
The transplanted hairs will go through a series of stages as they grow and mature. Here is a comprehensive guide of how the process unfolds:
1. Right after the procedure: you can expect some swelling and mild discomfort in the donor and recipient areas. Some bleeding and scabbing may also occur.
2. First week: Within the first week after the procedure, the transplanted hairs may fall out. This is a normal part of the process and should not be a cause for concern.
3. First few weeks: The transplanted area may appear red and irritated. It’s important to avoid touching or scratching to prevent infection. Itching can be relieved with gentle washing and the use of medicated shampoo.
4. First 6 months: You will begin to see new hair growth in the transplanted area. This will gradually improve over time. Continue to follow post-operative instructions.
5. 6-to-9 months: You will begin to see more significant hair growth. New hair may still be thin and fine, it will continue to thicken and become more robust.
6. 1 year after: By the 12-month mark, you will have achieved the full results of your hair transplant in Turkey. You can expect to see continued improvement in the months and years following.
Types of Hair Transplantation
The human body is covered with hair in various parts and densities depending on the person. For this reason, a hair transplant is not necessarily a scalp operation and can involve other areas of the body. This also means that patients without enough donor hair on the sides and back of the head, may still reverse hair loss by employing hair from other areas of their body. The most famous types of hair reallocation, other than the scalp operation, are:
Beard Transplant
Patients with insufficient facial hair can opt for a hair reallocation procedure to grow bear density.
Female Transplant
Women are also eligible for hair transplantation. Usually, DHI is the preferred method, as it does not involve shaving the head.
Eyebrow Transplant
Patients can also opt for an eyebrow transplant to increase hair density above the eyes.
