Hair transplantation is a process of transplanting hair follicles from the donor area to areas of the scalp that are affected by baldness or thinning hair. The procedure is performed by a specialist team under sterile conditions and can take between 6 to 10 hours, depending on the size of the area to be transplanted. It is essential that the correct technique is applied, and the patient and doctor follow the procedure carefully for successful results.Furthermore, hair transplantation can be defined as a surgical procedure that can boost a person’s self-confidence and improve their psychological well-being in social situations. With the right operation technique and planning, it can also fulfill the wishes and dreams of the patient. Although there are different types of hair transplantation, the procedure is painless thanks to the use of local anesthesia.

A hair transplant operation should be performed in a environment under sterile conditions by a fully qualified team. There are many techniques for hair transplantation, and the appropriate technique varies from person to person based on their age, gender, hair type, rate and pattern of hair loss, donor area quality, and level of baldness.

Shaving: The head may need to be shaved depending on the chosen operation technique.

Anesthesia application: Local anesthesia is applied to make the procedure painless.

Follicle removal: Follicles are extracted from the donor area with the help of a micro-motor.

Collection of follicles: The extracted follicles are collected and kept in a resting solution

Opening channels: Channels are created in the recipient area for implanting the follicles. In DHI technique, the implantation process is done directly without opening channels.

Implanting of roots: The extracted hair follicles are implanted into the recipient area.

Preparation for exit: The patient is prepared for discharge from the clinic.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a hair transplantation technique that involves the extraction of individual hair follicles from the donor area and transplanting them to the recipient area of the scalp. This method is suitable for patients with various types of hair loss, including male and female pattern baldness, scarring alopecia, and hair loss due to trauma or surgery. FUE is a relatively quick and safe procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia in a clinic or doctor’s office.

The FUE Sapphire method is an advanced hair transplantation technique that involves the use of a specialized tool called Sapphire, which is thinner and sharper than traditional punches used in the FUE technique. Sapphire is a material known for its durability and hardness and is sterilized before use.
The blade is designed to make precise incisions in the scalp (bald zones), which minimizes trauma to the skin. Moreover, this method can be used to transplant hair in patients with curly or wavy hair, as the sapphire blade can make curved incisions that follow the natural direction of the hair, resulting in a more natural-looking hairline.
