Understanding FUE Hair Transplantation
FUE, or Follicular Unit Extraction, involves the precise extraction of micro hair follicle bundles from the scalp and their placement in new locations. Follicular units are individually extracted using a specialized tool and transplanted on the same day. This technique can also utilize body hair and can be combined with FUT.
Advantages of FUE Technique
The main advantage of FUE is its ability to extract follicles without leaving visible marks. The donor areas typically recover within 24 to 48 hours, allowing for the use of transplanted hair in short styles.
Eligibility Criteria
Candidates undergo detailed analysis to determine suitability for FUE. Non-genetic factors contributing to hair loss are investigated through blood tests. If no systemic issues are found and the donor area has sufficient follicles, the candidate is scheduled for the procedure.
Procedure Overview
On the day of the procedure, the donor area is shaved to facilitate follicle collection. Local anesthesia is administered to ensure a painless experience. Follicles are harvested and meticulously placed in incisions on the recipient site.

FUE Technique: Follicular Unit Extraction
The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique involves the extraction of micro hair follicle bundles called follicular units from the scalp one by one and placing them into new locations. This method also allows the use of body hairs by extracting them.
One of the greatest advantages of the FUE technique is that it doesn't leave clear marks where the follicles are extracted. The recovery of the extraction sites typically takes 24 to 48 hours, allowing for the use of short hair.
Eligibility for FUE Technique
Before undergoing the FUE method, a detailed analysis is conducted to determine the suitability of the patient for hair transplantation. Non-genetic factors causing hair loss are examined through blood tests. If no systematic problem is found and the donor area has an adequate number of follicles, an appointment is scheduled.
Procedure Overview
On the day of the procedure, the donor area is shaved to facilitate follicle collection. Local anesthesia is then applied by the attending physician to ensure a pain-free experience. Follicles are collected and placed into refined incisions on the surface to be transplanted.

Hair Transplantation: Understanding the Procedure
Hair transplantation involves the transfer of healthy hair follicles from the donor area to the balding regions of the scalp. It's a meticulous surgical procedure requiring skilled professionals and a sterile environment to minimize risks.
The procedure typically lasts 6-8 hours under local anesthesia. Hair follicles are harvested from the donor area, channels are created for implantation, and follicles are transplanted individually. Pain during the procedure is minimal, and postoperative discomfort can be managed with prescribed medications.
Two primary methods, Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), are widely used, with variations such as unshaven FUE and PRP-supported transplantation.
Success depends on proper follicle insertion, known as "holding," ensuring a natural appearance post-recovery. Candidates must meet specific criteria, including age and health status, to undergo the procedure. Patients with hair loss, including male and female pattern baldness, can benefit, as can those seeking scar coverage.
Finding the right practitionner for your hair transplant in turkey
It is vitally important for candidates who are seeking an effective solution against hair loss to find a reliable and sterile center with an experienced doctor and team who will perform this operation with an accurate and up-to-date technique. Medical Director of Transmed Medical Center Melike Külahçı warns that, as our country has become a popular center for hair transplantation, people who do not have a medical diploma or event not to have sufficient knowledge and experience in hair transplantation identify themselves as “Hair Transplant Specialists”. The most important issue for the health of the candidates who are eager for hair transplantation is to find a doctor who follows modern medicine and who is dependent on his / her subject in a foreign language. Unfortunately, the people who are being brought to our country as “medical tourists” from the Arab world and deceived with cheaper prices are unfortunately suffering the most harm.
Possible Risks of Hair Transplantation
Hair transplantation, like other medical operations, carries various risks.
Hair transplantation, which is a long-term intervention, may need to be performed several times in a period of 1-2 years, depending on the degree of baldness. Possible complications are failure to achieve the desired result, infection and significant scarring. Hair transplantation complications are minimized when performed by a specialist and experienced doctor in a hygienic clinic environment.
