An Overview of FUE hair transplant in Turkey

Increasing awareness of hair transplant operation

In the older days, there was little or nothing you could do about hair loss and baldness. It is quite a natural effect of old age, but even in case of hair loss at a younger age, there used to be little that you could do about it. Various treatments such as natural oils or pills have historically had little effect for treating baldness. But thanks to modern medicine and surgical techniques, we now have a solution to baldness, and that is hair transplant. There are many hair transplant practitioners all over the world, and the awareness about transplant is also increasing. More and more people in Turkey are also opting for ahair transplant to address baldness. 

Consequently, there have been several developments in the field of hair transplant. Some earlier surgical techniques are now being complemented and in some cases superseded by newer techniques with significant benefits. An example of a new technique that is being used is the FUE hair transplant technique, which is now being used in place of the traditional FUT technique in many cases.

Older FUT technique

 The main variation between these two hair transplantation techniques is the method of extraction of hair follicles. The follicles are the roots from which the hair grows. In both methods, these hair follicles are surgically extracted from a donor region, typically from the back or the sides of the scalp, and then grafted into the target areas which are suffering from baldness. In the traditional FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) technique, for extracting the follicles, a thin strip of skin tissue, along with the follicles, is surgically removed. The strip is usually 1 centimetre wide and several centimetres long. The remaining skin is then stretched close and stitched closed. The hair follicles in the strip are then separated from the excess skin tissue and prepared for grafting by a specialist. Then they are grafted at the target area, as earlier mentioned.

Newer FUE technique

 The way in which the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique varies from the traditional FUT technique is the method of extracting the hair follicles. In this method, the hair follicles are extracted one by one using a special hollow needle. This leaves very small circular scars on the donor area. The diameter of these scars is typically about 0.6-1 millimetre, and since they are so small, they are hardly visible by naked eye. Hence, this technique also allows extracting hair follicles from other areas of the body such as the beard, arm, leg and armpits. Using FUT technique for extracting hairs from these areas is usually unacceptable since it leaves very prominent and large scars. Thus, this allows more flexibility in terms of donor areas if for any reason it is not feasible to extract the hair follicles from the scalp.

Since the hair follicles are to be extracted one by one, it is quite tedious and demanding in terms of the skills required from the surgeon. Hence searching for the rock bottom prices for hair transplant surgery is not a wise idea. We at FUE Hairline Clinic employ some of the best FUE hair transplant practising teams in Turkey.
