Hair Transplantation with FUE Technique

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique means the removal of the follicular units each by each, by the use of micro punch knife (usually diamater 0.6 - 0.7 mm) and leaving several dots of minimal scars on the donor area . These very small scars are not visible. We provide the state-of-art powered FUE harvesting technique With this technique we can provide 3500-5000 FU grafts or more in average. Transplantation (implantation or planting of grafts) is done by 1-2 hairs FU grafts at the frontal hairline with ultrarefined technique, while the rest of the scalp are covered with mixtured type ( 1-4 hairs) follicular grafts. No scar formation is detectable nearby the transplanted grafts, direction and mood of hair growing is natural by the utilization of the correct so called " lateral slit" technique.

Advantages of FUE Method

·         There is no incision or stitch in the area where the hair is extracted. Holes less than 1 mm occur in the area where the hair is extracted but these holes are closed in a few days and heal without a scar.

·         It is possible to extract hair from any spot on the head; it is not necessarily based on the back of the head. Even the body hair such as chest hair can be transplanted to the head if required. Follicles which are extracted from head can be transplanted to other parts of the body (such as moustache).

·         It is possible to reach maximum 5000 graft in a session depending on the hair density and quality of the person, but the average is between 2500 and 3000 graft. In each follicle, there are 1-4 (sometimes 5), generally 2-3 hair. In an average session, it is possible to transplant 7000-15000 hair.

·         Since the diameter of the extracted follicular unit is less than 1 mm, it is possible to transplant in very small holes. This means more dense and aesthetic transplantation. It is possible to 60-80 or more follicles in a square centimetre.

·         You do not feel any surgical pain or stress during the operation.

·         With this method, you will not have stitches and need to have stitches removed.
