In the hair transplantation procedures; FUE method that does not leave any scar or FUT method that may leave a slight scar in the back part of the head are performed with success.

Whereas the hair follicles are taken one by one and implanted to the deficient areas in the FUE method, a skin band containing hair is taken from the nuchal area in the FUT method.

The patient who will undergo hair transplantation should have healthy hair at the back part of the head and on the sides to be used as donor areas. Other factors such as the colour and thickness of the hair, its properties such as strength and waviness are influential in the result of the procedure.

The method to be preferred should be decided after hair and scalp analysis by taking also the priorities of the patient into consideration. Although FUE method that does not leave a scar is mostly preferred, it may be necessary to use the FUT method in some cases.

Hair transplantation may be performed not only for balding but to increase the hair density in the thinned areas.

Hair transplantation presents some risks when it is not carried out under suitable conditions just as it is the case with all medical interventions. However, when the hair transplantation procedure is carried out by an experienced plastic surgeon in a hospital setting, the complications are very rarely seen.

In addition to this, when the hair transplantation process performed by an experienced team of plastic surgeons, the success of the treatment are increased.

The procedure is completed within a few hours depending on the amount of the hair loss. If the hairless area is too large, several sessions may be needed to complete the treatment. In general, the intervention is carried out with sedation under local anaesthesia.

During FUE, a surgeon manually cuts a series of canals in your scalp to insert the hair follicles. The DHI technique allows surgeons to create these incisions and implant hair at the identical time. DHI and FUE avoid the long scar caused by FUT, however, these surgeries generally take longer and are dearer.

The DHI method encompasses a faster recovery period and might be performed with less bleeding compared to the FUE method. The FUE method is good for covering large areas, whereas the DHI method provides an improved possibility for achieving higher density.

The choice between FUE or DHI procedure depends on several reasons such as the patient’s hair loss classification, the size of the thinning area and quantity of available donor hair. Since hair transplant is a very personal treatment, it is believed that the technique that meets a patient’s expectation the most is the one that gives best results.
