Permanent Hair Transplant Solutions with Modern Technology

The duration of a hair transplant procedure depends on the number of grafts to be transplanted and the technique used. Typically, it takes between 4–8 hours. FUE and Sapphire FUE techniques usually take 6–8 hours, while the DHI technique may take slightly longer. Short breaks are given during the operation, and since local anesthesia is applied, no pain is felt.

The post-transplant process varies from person to person, but generally progresses as follows: Within the first 2–3 weeks, the transplanted hair sheds (shock loss). After 3–4 months, new hair begins to grow. Noticeable changes are observed by the 6th month. Full and final results are usually achieved within 12–18 months. Regular check-ups and following your doctor's recommendations are important during this period.

Hair transplant surgery is performed under local anesthesia. You may feel a slight sting during the anesthesia injection, but it only lasts a few seconds. Once the anesthesia takes effect, no pain is felt throughout the operation. Mild pain and sensitivity may occur in the first few days after the procedure, but this can be easily managed with painkillers.

Yes, hair transplantation is a permanent solution. Hair follicles, usually taken from the nape area (which are resistant to hair loss), are used in transplantation. These follicles retain their resistance to shedding even after being transplanted to the new area. However, your existing hair may continue to thin over time. Therefore, in some cases, additional sessions may be needed in the future, or supplementary treatments may be recommended to slow down hair loss.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Hair follicles are extracted one by one and implanted into pre-opened channels. It leaves no scars and requires no stitches.

Sapphire FUE: An advanced version of classical FUE. Instead of steel, sapphire-tipped blades are used. Since these blades are sharper and more precise, a denser and more natural hairline is achieved. Tissue damage is minimal, and the healing process is faster.

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation): Special Choi pens are used to implant hair follicles directly into the recipient area. The channel-opening step is skipped, resulting in less trauma and faster healing. It provides more precise and controlled placement and can be performed with minimal shaving.
