Hair Transplant with FUE Method

Sapphire FUE method, which is an innovative technique in hair transplantation, is a technique that is frequently used today and allows the transplantation of chest and back hair. In this technique, a micro motor is used. Since these tips are 0.6 to 0.7 mm long, there is no scar on the back of the neck or where the hair follicles are taken, and the patient feels much less pain after the operation. Since local anesthesia is applied before hair transplantation, the patient does not feel any pain during the operation. The FUE method consists of several steps. First of all, the hair is cut to a length of 1 mm in order to better detect the hair follicles and to see the area more clearly where the hair transplant will be done. The hair in the chest, back or nape area, where the hair follicle will be used, is also shaved to 1 mm in length. Then, the area to be treated is anesthetized with local anesthesia so that the patient does not feel pain, and the area is prepared for the operation. The micro motor is dipped into the skin to center the hair root, and the hair is removed together with the follicle and the surrounding tissue. This entire structure is called a graft. While the graft was limited to a single hair follicle at the beginning of the method, thanks to the developing hair transplantation technology, 1 to 3 hair follicles can be removed at once, which means that the operation times are getting shorter. After the hair follicles are removed, they are kept in a special solution to keep them damage-free until the transplantation. Depending on the width of the area to be transplanted and the adequacy of the donor area, approximately 1000 to 2800 grafts, i.e. 2500 to 7500 hair strands, can be transplanted in one session with the FUE technique. During the transplantation process, the direction of hair growth and the hair structure of the patient are also taken into account, and it is aimed to restore the hair to its natural state after transplantation. After the transplantation is completed, the patient is discharged after dressing the operated area. These hairs, which are taken from different regions and transplanted to the desired region, adapt to the hair characteristics of the region to which they are transplanted and continue their life with the same appearance. After hair transplantation, the newly transplanted hair starts to fall out after about a month. In the continuation of this process, between the second and third months, new hair grows and fills the old balding areas in a noticeable manner. Towards the end of the sixth month, the transplanted area begins to regain its old hairy appearance. A fully adapted and developed hair gains its most natural appearance in one or two years, depending on its physical characteristics. Since the hair carries the person's own DNA, it comes out in the same color and character. Since the hair follicles taken with the FUE method do not have the property of shedding, there is no question of hair loss again.
