FAQs About Best Hair Transplant Methods in Turkey
The most commonly performed hair transplant methods in Istanbul include:
-
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): This technique involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area and implanting them into the balding regions.
-
Sapphire FUE: A variation of FUE that uses sapphire blades for creating incisions, allowing for more precise implantation and potentially faster healing.
-
Direct Hair Implantation (DHI): This method uses a specialized pen-like tool to extract and implant hair follicles simultaneously, offering greater control over the depth, angle, and direction of implantation.
While both FUE and DHI involve transplanting individual hair follicles, the main difference lies in the implantation process. In FUE, channels are created in the recipient area before implanting the follicles, whereas DHI uses a Choi pen to implant follicles directly without prior channel creation. DHI may allow for more precise implantation and higher hair density.
Consider the following factors:
-
Desired Hair Density: DHI may be more suitable for achieving higher density.
-
Scalp Condition: Certain techniques may be better suited for specific scalp conditions.
-
Budget: Some methods, like DHI, can be more expensive than traditional FUE.
-
Surgeon’s Expertise: Ensure the clinic specializes in the chosen method.
Consulting with a qualified surgeon can help determine the best technique for your needs.
The cost varies depending on the technique and the number of grafts required. On average, prices range from £2,000 to £3,000 for a standard FUE procedure. Advanced techniques like DHI may be more expensive.
Recovery times can vary based on the technique used:
-
FUE and Sapphire FUE: Patients can typically return to work within 2-5 days, with full recovery in about a week.
-
DHI: May offer a slightly faster recovery due to its minimally invasive nature.
It’s essential to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure optimal healing.
Yes, hair transplants are considered a permanent solution to hair loss. The transplanted hair follicles are resistant to the hormones that cause balding and typically continue to grow throughout your lifetime. However, it’s crucial to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow any recommended treatments to preserve the results.
