FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method is to extract hair follicles one by one from the donor area and transplant them to the area where there is no hair. FUE technique is the technique of harvesting only the roots from the nape of the neck (donor). So
it is not about opening and planting channels. Because; Hair transplantation with the FUE technique performed in every center does not give the same results. Because in order to obtain a good result in hair transplantation, apart from the FUE technique, canal opening and transplantation techniques are also very important.
In the FUT method, the hairy tissue is removed from the nape area between the two ears and the area is closed by stitching.
This removed hair strip is divided into 1, 2 and 3 hair follicles.
The most comfortable technique in hair transplantation is the FUE technique. It leaves less tissue
damage than the old methods. The healing process is very fast. There are no incisions or stitches in the FUE method. It is the most preferred technique in recent years because it is a painless procedure. FUT method
It is a much older method than the FUE method. The healing process and the person's return to normal life
takes longer. In FUT, there are stitch marks on the back of the person's neck that will never go away.
FUE is the latest and most advanced technique applied in the world. In this method, very small
punches are used when removing the roots, and thus, there is no need for stitches, as there is no need for any incision in the donor area. As a result, there will be no visible scar.
Where Are Hair Follicles Obtained?
Hair follicles are first obtained from the nape of the person between the two ears. If the amount of
roots that can be taken from this area is not sufficient, roots can also be taken from other parts of the person's body, such as the beard, chest, abdomen and back.
Today, there is still grass. We see that hair transplantation, called dam, can be performed. This is related to whether the channels where the hair
follicles will be placed are opened vertically or not. If the channels are opened horizontally, the hair will grow horizontally and a very natural looking hair will be obtained.
Stages of Hair Transplantation
RECEIVING PHASE: Using very thin punches, that is, 0.6- Roots are removed
with the help of a micromotor with special 0.7 mm tips. It is very important to use appropriate tips. The nape (donor) area should not be traumatized as much as possible. The roots should be removed very slowly and meticulously. When removing hair follicles, a very homogeneous harvest should be made in the nape area
. The integrity of the donor area must not be compromised. It should not be forgotten that the person may need a 2nd and 3rd session in later years. After the hair follicles are removed, they should be stored in special liquid
and in a cold environment. Otherwise, the lifespan of the roots will be shortened. The extracted
roots are very small tissue particles. It should be treated as sensitively as possible.
PLANNING AND HAIRLINE: Planning is very important in hair transplantation. Proper planning
shows the success rate in hair transplantation. It must be accurately determined how dilated the patient is and how many roots will be planted in which area. In addition, when drawing a hairline, a natural hairline should be determined by taking into account the age of the patient and the current structure of his/her hair.
CANEL OPENING: Canals are small abrasions opened into the skin where the roots will be placed. It requires very precise
work. The channels should be parallel to the skin, at an angle of 40-45 degrees, in the direction of the person's natural hair.
We clinically apply the LATERAL SLIT technique in channel opening. This technique There are very few
companies in rkiye. It is a very difficult and laborious technique. LATERAL SLIT technique takes longer
time. If the correct angle is not given during the canal, all of the transplanted roots will grow vertically and the person will have difficulty in shaping his/her hair, resulting in the appearance of a grass head. And this makes the person very uncomfortable. The length and diameter of the slit used when opening a channel is very important. Slits vary according to each hair structure. It should be adjusted according to the length and
thickness of the extracted root. This is important for the hair to adhere to the transplanted area and survive
.
TRANSPLANTATION PHASE: The extracted hair follicles are placed into the opened channels with great
precision, without crushing or breaking the graft. It is necessary to transplant the hair in the direction of the person's own hair. The more sensitively
you treat the graft, the better the result will be. It is necessary to work slowly.
The shorter the time in hair transplantation, the more negative and worse the result will be. Hair transplantation
is a job that requires meticulousness.

correctly. It should be determined well how much hair will be transplanted to which area. The hairline should be drawn as close to nature as possible, appropriate to the person's
age and facial features. It requires great sensitivity.

plasma under the skin to the area where hair transplantation will be performed using small needles. We pour it into special containers containing
hair follicles. And lastly, we apply the plasma by massaging the back neck area.
