WHAT IS FUE HAIR TRANSPLANTATION?
• FUE Hair Transplantation Today
Today, hair transplantation using the FUE method is widely performed around the world.
​
• Why FUE Is Preferred
The FUE technique is one of the hair transplant methods we use at our clinic and is considered more comfortable than the FUT technique. The procedure begins with shaving the donor area, after which grafts are extracted using micromotor-assisted instruments. Compared to FUT, wound healing is faster, the donor area is less affected, and no visible scarring remains.
​
• Importance of Experience
In the FUE method, the experience of the physician performing the procedure is extremely important. A large number of grafts must be extracted carefully and evenly, without causing damage and without making the donor area visibly sparse.
​
• Risks of Improper Application
When the FUE technique is performed by inexperienced or unqualified individuals, it may lead to donor area damage and permanent graft loss. For this reason, the donor area must be harvested in a balanced and homogeneous manner.
​
• Shock Loss and Recovery
Incorrect or excessive extraction in the donor area can result in shock loss, creating an uneven or patchy appearance. Although this condition is treatable, the process may cause psychological discomfort for the patient and dissatisfaction with the visual outcome.
WHAT IS UNSHAVED HAIR TRANSPLANTATION?
Unshaved hair transplantation is a hair transplant method especially preferred by women.
​
Since female patients usually have long hair, they often do not want their hair to be completely shaved, including both the donor area and the recipient area. For this reason, hair transplantation can be performed without shaving the recipient area.
In some cases, this regional hair transplant method is also applied to male patients who prefer not to shave their hair.
• Who Is Suitable for Unshaved Hair Transplantation
Individuals with an active and busy social life
Those who do not want to cut or shave their hair
Patients who wish to restore only a specific thinning area
Public figures and celebrities who prefer the procedure to remain discreet
Individuals who do not have sufficient time for a shaved hair transplant
​
• Personal Preference and Medical Evaluation
Unshaved hair transplantation can be preferred by anyone; however, suitability depends on personal preference and whether the physician considers the procedure appropriate.
​
• Important Considerations
Aftercare following an unshaved hair transplant may be more demanding compared to a shaved procedure. For this reason, the decision should be carefully considered prior to treatment.
Additionally, unshaved hair transplantation generally involves fewer grafts than shaved hair transplantation.
For example:
​
If a patient requires 4,000 grafts, a maximum of 3,000 grafts can typically be transplanted in a single session using the unshaved hair transplant technique.
​
As a result, the number of grafts implanted will be below the patient’s actual requirement. For this reason, this information must be explained to the patient clearly, accurately, and in full detail.
​
In such cases, the patient may either undergo the procedure in two separate sessions, or choose the shaved hair transplant method to achieve the required number of grafts in a single session.
WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR
IN HAIR TRANSPLANTATION?
• Hair Transplantation Is a Serious Medical Procedure
Hair transplantation is a serious medical procedure. To minimise potential risks, it must be performed in a carefully controlled clinical environment.
​
• Importance of Experience and Expertise
For the best possible results, the procedure should be carried out by well-trained and experienced specialists.
​
• Key Factors for Successful Results
For a successful hair transplant, the transplanted hair follicles must establish blood supply quickly in the area where they are implanted, allowing them to properly take hold.
When the correct technique is applied, the success rate of hair transplantation is very high. To achieve a natural appearance, it is essential that hair follicles are implanted at the correct distance, angle, and density in the areas affected by hair loss.
AM I A SUITABLE CANDIDATE
FOR HAIR TRANSPLANTATION?
• If you have completed your physical development
• If you do not have any physiological condition that would prevent hair transplantation
• If you have a sufficient number of healthy hair follicles in the donor area
• If there is adequate space in the area where hair follicles will be transplanted
​
You may be a suitable candidate for hair transplantation.
Hair transplantation is not only performed for male pattern hair loss, but can also be successfully applied to localised hair loss caused by medical conditions, scar tissue, burn scars, or surgical scars.
Hair transplantation can also be successfully performed in women. In female patients, unshaved hair transplantation may be preferred depending on the size of the hairless area.
You may arrange an initial consultation with our physician and undergo a hair analysis at your earliest convenience.
All post-procedure care instructions will be clearly explained to you by your doctor.
