What are the steps of hair transplantation in Turkey?

The hair transplant process in Turkey goes through several stages, which are:

1- Preparing for a hair transplant:

One of the first steps of hair transplantation in Turkey is to prepare the patient for the operation, by shaving his hair completely, with the possibility of not shaving it in some cases, then washing his scalp with a sterile solution, and injecting it with local anesthetic to relieve pain.

2- Extracting the follicles:

This is done through a micromotor device that extracts the follicles from the donor area, without damaging the bulb and the follicles adjacent to it, which increases the number of healthy follicles that are successfully extracted and transplanted.

3- Retaining the follicles:

Where the follicles are kept after being picked, and placed in a special solution that is usually used to preserve the organs of the human body during the processes of transfer, and this solution works to keep the follicles alive, healthy and eligible for cultivation naturally.

4- Opening the channels:

This step is considered one of the most important steps of hair transplantation in Turkey, and it varies according to the technology used in this process, as this step is done in the DHI technique through the use of Choi pens, so that the channels are opened and hair is transplanted directly and in one step, while in the Sapphire technique, a tool with a head is used Sharp extracted from the Sapphire stone in order to open the channels.

5- Hair transplantation:

After opening the channels, the extracted follicles are placed in them, which is a technical process that requires high skill, in order to take into account the required density and aesthetic shape, in addition to taking into account the natural growth of hair.
The hair transplantation process in Turkey usually ends in one session of approximately 6 hours, which is divided into two phases, during which the rest is for a quarter of an hour.

It is worth noting that the success rate of this operation depends on many factors and varies from person to person, but in general, the success rate is 80%.
After talking about the steps of this process in general, let's talk in detail about the modern techniques used in Turkey to perform this process.

What are the most important hair transplant techniques in Turkey?

1- DHI technique (choi pens):

In this technique, a precise device with a diameter of not more than 1 mm is used to pick hair follicles without making surgical incisions or holes in the target area, in order not to leave scars as a result of the operation, and then using a tool called Choi pens to transplant the follicles that have already been picked.
This technology is characterized by providing high coverage and density, in addition to giving the doctor greater ability to control the direction of the hair.
It is worth noting that the transplantation method has evolved from the previous one, as the doctor no longer needs to open the channels, but rather drops the follicles that he wants to transplant directly into the scalp, which reduces the side effects of the operation and prevents the occurrence of surgical scars.
This technology is considered one of the most advanced techniques, and it has multiple uses, because of its features, the most important of which is the lack of need to completely shave the head, which makes it a preferred technique for everyone, especially among women.
The bulbs are transplanted with a number of up to 3000 bulbs.
When the patient needs to transplant more than this number of follicles , the Mega DHI technique will be chosen , and the transplantation process is divided into two consecutive days, in order to transplant the required number of follicles.
As for the cost of hair transplantation with this technique in Turkey, it is considered the least expensive among the countries of the world, ranging from $1250 to $2500. In some countries of the world, the price of a DHI session in London or Paris clinics ranges between $7500 and $13500.
 

Important tips after hair transplantation with this technique:
1- Clean the transplanted areas four times a day through a saline solution.
2- Take care of these areas to remove the crust.
3- Avoid scratching the crust.
4- Do not shower before the third day of your operation.
5- Use a medical shampoo and avoid rubbing vigorously.
6- Avoid combing your hair, and you can start combing your hair after seven days, taking great care not to move the follicles.
7- Check the levels of minerals and vitamins.
8- Take the nutrients that your doctor prescribes for you.
9- Do not expose your transplanted hair to direct sunlight, especially during the first two weeks.

What are the advantages of this technology:

Among the most important features of this technique:
1- Shortening the time, which reduces the survival of the follicles outside the body, which ensures that the condition of the follicles remains strong and healthy.
2- Decreased amount of bleeding.
3- Reducing shocks while dealing with the follicles, and this leads to less damage to blood flow to the transplanted hair area.
4- The ability to recover faster after transplantation in the donor area and in the receiving area.
5- No need to shave the receiving area.

2- Ambassador technique:

Pens made of a precious stone called sapphire are used, which is a pen that was developed to be used to open channels with high accuracy, due to its pointed and thin V -shaped tip , which reduces the possibility of scarring.
This process is carried out according to the steps we mentioned at the beginning of the article. As for its cost, it is considered one of the expensive operations in all countries of the world, while in Turkey it is at an appropriate cost ranging from 1200 to 1500 US dollars.
It is worth noting that there are some instructions that you should follow after the operation:
The patient may feel a little pain in the scalp, so he needs to use some medications:
1- Pain relievers.
2- Antibiotics, to prevent infections in the recipient and donor area.
3- Anti-inflammatory to reduce swelling.
It is normal for some hair to fall out after the operation within two or three weeks of the operation, which will allow new hair to grow within a period ranging from 8 to 12 months after the operation.
It is worth noting that some complications may occur that do not cause concern, such as bleeding at the site of the operation, slight swelling, cyanosis around the eyes and itching.
But it quickly disappears, and the result of the operation appears, and the hair begins to grow and reach the desired shape within a period of 10 to 12 months.

This technique has many advantages:
1- The results of the operation in which this technique is used are guaranteed to succeed.
2- There are no risks to the movement of the follicles, and their angles are not changed, because the blades of the sapphire used to open the channels are very small.
3- This technique does not harm the scalp and surrounding tissues.

Thus, we have explained in this article in this article the steps of hair transplantation in Turkey, in addition to the most important techniques used during this process, its cost and advantages.
