Hair Transplant Treatment
Hair transplantation is the most effective and permanent method for treating baldness caused by genetic or physiological factors. Turkey is one of the leading countries in hair transplant operations due to its advanced healthcare and transportation facilities. The latest hair transplant techniques are applied by expert doctors and clinics in Turkey, with the FUE method being the most widely used.
What is the FUE Method in Hair Transplantation?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) refers to the method of extracting hair follicles one by one. This technique, first introduced in 2003, has become increasingly popular.
In the FUE technique, hair follicles extracted from the donor area (typically the nape) are transplanted to the hairline and crown areas. Compared to other methods, FUE offers a more comfortable procedure with faster results.
Each hair follicle contains multiple hair strands. In the FUE method, cylindrical needles extract hair follicles, which are then implanted in the balding area. This technique ensures natural-looking hair growth since the implanted hairs follow the natural hair growth direction.
Why is the Nape Area Preferred for Hair Transplantation?
The preference for extracting hair from the nape is due to the genetic coding of these hair follicles. The hair in this region is resistant to hair loss because the chemical factors causing baldness do not affect the follicles in the nape. These resistant hair follicles can also be used for eyebrow, eyelash, and beard transplants.
How is the FUE Method Applied?
The FUE procedure is simple and minimally invasive:
- Hair follicles are extracted using a micro-punch device.
- The follicles are implanted into the recipient area one by one.
- The hairs are placed at the correct angle to ensure a natural look.
Since the procedure follows the natural growth direction of the hair, complications such as ingrown hairs are avoided.
How is a Natural Hairline Achieved in the FUE Method?
The most critical aspect of the FUE method is designing a natural-looking hairline. The customization of the frontal hairline is crucial to achieving a realistic and aesthetic appearance.
Is the Recovery Period Long in the FUE Method?
The recovery period for the FUE technique is relatively short. Following the doctor’s recommended solutions and care instructions accelerates the healing process. If necessary, additional sessions can be conducted to achieve fuller coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hair transplantation is a procedure where hair follicles are taken from healthy areas of the scalp and transplanted to areas with hair loss or thinning. The most common hair transplant methods are FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation). In the FUE method, individual hair follicles are extracted and implanted, while in the FUT method, a strip of tissue is removed, and the hair follicles are extracted and implanted.
After hair transplantation, the transplanted hair usually sheds within the first few weeks. New hair growth typically starts after about 3-6 months. Full results are generally visible within 12-18 months. During this period, the transplanted hair thickens and gains a natural appearance.
Hair transplantation is generally suitable for individuals experiencing hair loss due to genetic factors, stress, or environmental reasons. However, it may not be recommended for individuals with advanced hair loss, insufficient donor hair, or skin conditions. It is important to consult with a specialist before undergoing a hair transplant.
