The Core Techniques (The Foundation)
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
The global standard. Individual hair follicles are "punched" out from your donor area (usually the back of the head) and moved to the balding area.
Why choose it: It leaves no linear scars and has a fast recovery time.
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation)
A more precise version of FUE. Instead of opening channels first and planting later, a specialized "Choi Pen" extracts and implants the hair simultaneously.
Why choose it: Ideal for high-density hairlines and "no-shave" procedures.
Precision & Tool Upgrades
Sapphire FUE
Instead of standard steel blades, the surgeon uses blades made from synthetic sapphire.
The Value: Sapphire is much sharper and smoother, causing less tissue damage, less scabbing, and a faster healing process.
Manual FUE
The "Artisan" method. The doctor uses a hand-held punch tool instead of a motorized machine to extract grafts.
The Value: This is the most protective way to harvest hair, as the doctor can "feel" the root, resulting in the highest graft survival rates. (See: ASMED Clinic)
Perkutan Technique
A method using a fine titanium needle to open hair channels.
The Value: Allows for extreme precision in the direction and angle of hair growth for a more natural look. (See: Clinicana)
Specialized Hair Solutions
Hybrid FUE
A strategic combination of Sapphire FUE and DHI in a single session.
The Value: FUE is used to cover large balding areas (like the crown) quickly, while DHI is used for the hairline to ensure maximum precision. (See: Şule Clinic)
BHT (Body Hair Transplant)
Harvesting hair from the beard, chest, or back to supplement the scalp.
The Value: A lifesaver for patients with "depleted" donor areas who need more coverage. (See: Cinik Hospital)
Unshaven / Long Hair FUE
A technique where the donor and recipient areas are not shaved.
The Value: Perfect for executives or celebrities who need to return to work immediately without anyone knowing they had a procedure.
The Recovery Revolution (Post-Op)
OxyCure (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy)
Sitting in a pressurized chamber of 100% oxygen following surgery.
The Value: Saturates the new grafts with oxygen, dramatically increasing survival rates and reducing swelling. (See: Vera Clinic)
Exosome Therapy
A high-tech alternative to PRP. It uses "messenger" cells to signal your hair follicles to enter the growth phase immediately.
The Value: Faster results and thicker hair diameter compared to standard surgery alone.
Ice FUE
Grafts are stored in a cold, nutrient-rich solution before being planted.
The Value: Keeps the "living tissue" healthy while it is outside of your body. (See: Heva Clinic)
