FUE
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. The FUE method was developed as a solution to the complications associated with the FUT method, which often resulted in a visible scar in the donor area. The FUE approach was seen as a significant advancement in hair transplantation as it eliminates the need for a skin strip to be taken from the donor area, thus avoiding the formation of a visible scar. 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.
FUE Sapphire
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. This approach is also regarded as the optimal method when there is a greater requirement for grafts. The use of sapphire enables the channels to be opened with greater speed and precision, facilitating the attainment of an optimal natural angle and direction.
FUE Sapphire Hair Transplant Technique
The FUE Sapphire technique uses a micro motor device for precise follicle extraction, and sapphire-blade instruments to open implantation channels in the target areas. These tools allow for highly accurate results and faster healing. The procedure consists of four main stages:
Stage One: Hair Follicle Extraction
The process begins by identifying the donor area, usually located at the back or sides of the scalp, where hair follicles are more resistant to hair loss.A micro motor device is used to extract the follicles one by one without causing visible scars or significant tissue damage. Each follicle is extracted carefully to preserve its quality and ensure its effectiveness for implantation.
Stage Two: Follicle Preparation and Preservation
The extracted follicles are immediately placed into a special medical solution that maintains their vitality and prevents dehydration.They are then sorted based on the number of hairs per graft—single, double, or multiple hair follicles. This classification allows for strategic planning, ensuring a natural and balanced distribution of follicles across the scalp.
Stage Three: Channel Opening with Sapphire Blades
In this step, the physician uses ultra-fine sapphire blades to create channels in the recipient areas. These channels are opened at precise angles and depths to ensure the natural direction of hair growth.Sapphire blades are sharper and smoother than traditional steel blades, which minimizes tissue trauma and promotes faster recovery.
Stage Four: Manual Implantation of Follicles
After the channels are prepared, the medical team manually implants the follicles one by one into the opened channels. Each follicle is inserted at the correct angle and direction to ensure a natural, aesthetically pleasing result. This meticulous process is repeated until all follicles are implanted and the targeted areas are fully covered.

FREQUENTLY_ASKED_QUESTIONS
The hair grafts are extracted from the backside of the head, which we determine as between two ears and above the neck. The reason for choosing this specific area as a donor (extraction zone) is that the hair grafts in this region are genetically encoded against inherent hair fall. If the extraction process from this region is performed with better quality artistry, hair fall will never occur for a lifetime. Therefore, we take the hair grafts from the backside of the head, which we call the donor area.
The hair roots are homogeneously extracted one by one with the help of the latest technology system called the FUE method. After the process is over, the hair will never grow the place taken from since it is taken with its root, but it will not be visible since it is done with cater-corner homogeneously
After the hair transplant has been done, our medical consultant assistant will, without stint, follow the whole process with you until you achieve the best result. We will describe to you the growth process of all the hair grafts, respectively.
1-On the 10th day, the process of cleaning scabs will be done.
2-After one month, implanted hair begins to shed moderately.
3-The implanted hair enters the shock hair loss during the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th month, called the resting phase. During this process, you will face a view as if no hair transplant has been done.
4-At the end of the 4th month, the implanted roots will gradually start to grow progressively, and each month will grow faster and more hair than the previous month.
5-In the 7th month, almost 70% of the transplanted hair ultimately grows.
6-All transplanted hairs may take 12 months for the front zone and 14 months for the crown region to grow
The regrowth period of the transplanted hair may vary from person to person. It is a fact that hair roots come out earlier or later than expected, depending on a person's habits such as smoking, alcohol, drugs, and eating habits.

Before the hair transplantation, the estimated number of hair grafts is given after the evaluation of pictures by doctor. We do not want to raise expectations too much, as the pictures can often mislead hair transplant doctors. Therefore, we do not want to give you the wrong information by saying a little less than the number of grafts we can implant. However, we work with the maximum number of hair grafts in every operation. While performing this extraction process, it is done completed by paying attention to the homogenization without harming the donor area. The number of grafts is essentially determined by the size of the person's planting area and the quality of the donor area. Of course, it is imperative how many grafts will be implanted, but implantation in good health is at least as necessary as the number of grafts. The grafts are found in groups in the donor area; they will come out simultaneously if you extract and implant them with their group. But if you cut these grouped grafts, for example, if you extract a graft with three hairs, reducing the number of hair strands to 2 or 1 will not be a successful hair transplant. No matter how high the number of grafts is, it is impossible to achieve a successful planting if they are not taken in good quality.
The hair transplant operation does not have a fixed duration of time. Depending on the grafts need of a person, this time period can be extended or shortened. The higher the number of roots, the longer the operations will take, and the longer the operation time. A healthy hair transplant should take a minimum of 6 hours and a maximum of 10 hours. This is the ideal time duration for both; patient's well-being and the graft's survival period.
People who are not satisfied with their first operation results, think that it is sparse, or whose donor area is too weak to achieve that number of hair grafts (to cover all the entire bald zone in one session) can have two operation sessions. 2nd session of hair transplantation is wholly related to the quality and abundance of the hair in the person's donor area. There is no problem if the number of hair grafts is sufficient to conduct the operation of a person who will have the second operation. However, if there is too much damage in the first session and the donor area is harmed enough to extract grafts again, performing the second session operation is not recommended. It will cause more damage to the donor area. You can have more transparent information about this situation when you show your pictures or direct examination to your hair transplant doctor.
Those who cannot have a hair transplant for the second time?
1.People whose donor area is damaged too much during the first session.
2.People who do not have enough hair in their donor area to cover enough broad recipient area.
