“How Is Hair Transplantation Performed In Turkey” is one of the most important questions nowadays, so let’s delve into this essay and find answers to this question.

What is the Hair Transplant Procedure?

Hair transplant in Turkey is a cosmetic surgery for men and women who somehow had lost their hair in the past. No matter the technique used the operation steps are basic. Which are.
  • 1) Anesthesia
  • 2) Extraction from the donor area
  • 3) Implantation to the required area

The modern technique for Hair transplant clinics in Turkey is called follicular Unit Extraction (FUE),

It has three different types that differ in the implantation that is performed by experienced Dr. or surgeons and is done in the clinic.

1. FUE Hair Transplant: The channels for each follicular are opened by steel blades and the follicular is implanted by hand.

2. Sapphire FUE Hair: Channels are opened by a specialized sapphire tip medical pen.

3. DHI (Direct Hair Implant): The implantation process is done by a special tool called Choi pen and this method does not require any spare time for channel opening due to Choi pen’s ability to open channel and implant hair at the same time.

Since Istanbul is internationally crowned as the capital of the hair transplant and plastic surgery industry, many unlicensed hair transplant turkey clinics take advantage of the demand in this field, leaving many victims behind.

In those clinics, hair transplant in turkey procedures is carried out in very inappropriate health conditions and performed by inexperienced individuals. This not only leads to permanent damage in the donor area but opening the canals can occasionally cause nerve injury and bleeding, The best case scenario is severe scars left behind, among many other things.

• Soft and round movements with your fingertips

• With warm water with the lowest pressure possible

• No using hairdryer

• The foam should be applied 30 minutes before the washing and the prescribed shampoo by the doctor must be used.

How Is FUE Hair Transplant Procedure Properly Conducted?

There are several stages to a hair transplant turkey procedure.

1. The First Stage Is Local Anesthesia:

• It is injected in the donor area – back of the scalp (oval-shaped from the right ear to the left ear), through very thin needles.

• After the anesthesia, a serum is injected to inflate the skin and facilitate the process of extracting the hair follicles.

• The type of local anesthesia injected through needles is frustrating for many people.

• Nowadays a modern technique has been developed in which anesthesia is applied through pressure rather than injection and there are benefits to that,

• no needles are used. This is the NFI (Needle-free Injection).

• This local anesthesia technique is considered the most advanced in hair transplant in Turkey, beard

2. The Second Stage Is Hair graft extraction.

When hair transplants in Turkey first began to prosper about 12 years ago, hair grafts were extracted manually.

This technique was named FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation).

With this method, a strip of skin is cut from the back of the head, and then the hair follicles are extracted individually.

The technique of manual extraction was a qualitative leap in the world of hair transplantation, but the process of hair transplant in Turkey took from two to three days,

meaning that there was a long period between the extraction and implantation, and so a large proportion of the hair follicles were damaged.

Micro Motor Technology For Hair Follicle Extraction


which is considered the best and most advanced electrical device is used to extract the follicles very quickly,

in which the head of the device contains a tube not exceeding 0.6 mm in diameter that enters the depths of the scalp and pulls the follicles out within one second.

Of course, the follicles are picked out one after the other and at close and balanced distances, so that no effect of the extraction is left after the operation.

The technique of extracting the follicles with Micro Motor, a Sapphire head device:

When extracting the hair follicles from the donor area, the follicles are sorted into 4 different categories

1- Hair follicles containing 1 hair shaft.

2- Hair follicles containing 2 hair shafts.

3- Hair follicles containing 3 hair shafts.

4- Hair follicles containing 4, and occasionally 5 hair shafts.

These hair grafts are placed in a special solution called Hypormathol, and at a certain temperature to preserve them until the next stage,

which is the implantation in the recipient area.

The surgeon will then pick out the suitable hair graft, to be implanted in the suitable area.

For instance, an experienced surgeon would not implant a hair graft containing 4 hair shafts in the hairline area.

That is because naturally, the hair near the front-line area is thinner. 

The Third Stage

local anesthesia will be repeated but in the recipient area instead.

Afterward, the inflating serum is also injected into this area for the scalp to rise, to avoid harming the tissues and nerves.

The Fourth Stage

When hair transplantation in Turkey first started developing, as previously mentioned, manual FUE of extraction was used.

Very thin metal blades with a diameter not exceeding 0.3-0.6 mm,

depending on the thickness of the hair follicle was used to open the canals.

Today, with the development of medicine and technology that in turn brought about radical changes in the world of hair transplants in Turkey,

many have been renovated.

Firstly, the Sapphire Pen technique.

The process of hair transplant in Turkey with the Sapphire Pen is one of the safest and most reliable procedures in Turkey,
as the recommended differs from one case to another.

The hair transplant in Turkey with the Sapphire Pen provides more.

guaranteed results in comparison with the metal blades Before we delve into the knowledge of the of fue hair transplantation by the Sapphire Pen, we must shed light on the terms mentioned in the world of hair clinics in Turkey.

FUE Hair transplant in turkey technique was named in association with the technique of manual primary extraction, which is originally a thin metal blade used to open the canals.

• Therefore, after the invention of the technique of hair transplant in Turkey with the Sapphire Pen, it became one of the oldest technique names.

So, In Detail, How Is Hair Transplantation Performed In Turkey?

After sorting the hair follicles during extraction from the donor area, they are preserved in the solution. The doctor then divides the recipient area into equal square-shaped cm2 for many reasons: 

Direction of the hair follicles

Since each section of hair is angled towards a different direction, some angled downwards, others to the left or right, the canals in the recipient area should not all be opened at the same angle.

Failure to match the appropriate angle with the appropriate section can lead to a non-pleasant appearance. 

Distances between the hair follicles

When the doctor opens the canals in the recipient area, the distances between them must be taken into consideration, so that no contact occurs between them to give a natural look.

In case contact does occur, both hair follicles will be damaged.

3. Dividing the scalp in cm2

To obtain a consistent hair density, the doctor must divide the recipient area into multiple cm2, so that in every cm2, the same number of hair follicles is implanted. 

Canal depth

• When inserting the blade into the scalp, the doctor must take the depth into consideration.

• In case the depth is exceeded, it will cause damage to the tissues and nerves under the scalp, and this in turn will lead to infections and of course the failure of the hair transplant in turkey operation.

• Therefore, the stage of opening the canals must always be performed exclusively by a highly experienced surgeon.

The Dhi Hair Transplant In Turkey Technique

It is the most advanced technology in the world of hair transplants in Turkey for men and women. It is conducted using a medical tool named Choi Pen.

In each pen, there is a hollow metal head used to insert the hair follicle into it, to then open the canal and simultaneously implant the hair follicle.

In this technique of hair transplant in Turkey,

a higher density of hair is achieved in comparison to traditional techniques.

It is possible to implant approximately 60-70 grafts per cm2. This number exceeds the number achieved by other traditional by about 20-25 grafts per cm2.

And since the opening of the canals and the implantation are done simultaneously, wound recovery is faster.

DHI Technique using sapphire heads

It is an innovation to the classic DHI. The metalhead in the Choi pen is replaced with a Sapphire head. It prevents the acidity of wounds and gives a smoother texture to the scalp.

Not only that but it also prevents the redness caused by the canal opening from lasting for a long period after the operation.

Leaving 0% risk of any scars.
