Hair Transplant Techniques in Turkey
There are two primary techniques in hair transplant in our country. These are DHI and FUE methods. In a standard hair transplant procedure, between 1500-3000 grafts are placed into the individual channels on the scalp. However, there are some differences between these recent techniques of hair transplant.
During the DHI operation, the grafts are immediately placed into the scalp, right after the collection. The FUE method also takes place during the DHI application. In DHI hair transplant, channel opening and placement of the grafts happen simultaneously with the help of Choii pens.
During all these procedures, patients are usually under local anaesthesia. Sometimes sedation can be necessary depending on the condition of the patient. The process may take up to 6-8 hours depending on the size of the target area.
Although we accept that the main reason is genetic factors in male pattern hair loss, especially anaemia, some vitamin deficiencies and dermatological diseases of the scalp can cause hair loss. Therefore, planning the treatment process with surgeons together is highly crucial for better results.
Before considering hair transplantation, especially those with atypical hair loss should ask for an analysis and examination for the exact cause of hair loss. Then, more healthy treatment can be possible.
