What are Combined Treatments in Hair Transplantation?
Sometimes both FUE and DHI techniques can be combined in hair transplantation operations. DHI, which is a direct transplantation technique developed in a relatively narrow area, especially in case of damage to the existing hair follicles in the area, and Sapphire Fue, useful for an operation in an open area, can be applied together. That can be applied together for hair transplantation is determined by the current hair condition of our patients. Techniques are not superior to each other. You can contact our health consultants to learn the right technique for you
How Does the Hair Transplant Process Proceed?
On the day of the operation, after the drawings are made in the transplantation area during the examination, a partial or complete haircut is performed according to the operation plan. Local anesthesia is then applied to the scalp, which is numbed with pressurized painless anesthesia. The operation is expected to last approximately 6-8 hours.
The day after the operation, the bandage in the donor area is removed and the patient is first checked and dressed. As of the second day, the patient should perform a lotion wash in the transplantation and donor area.
Our recommendation for the first wash is to have it performed by our specialized nurses at our hospital. It is recommended to perform hair washing periodically for ten days. On the tenth wash, the scabs on the scalp will be cleaned with a massaging wash, and no trace of the operation is expected afterwards. Our patient follow-up unit monitors the processes of our patients who have undergone this operation online.

Which part of the body are hair follicles taken from?
The most fertile area where hair follicles can be harvested is the nape of the neck behind both ears. This area is genetically programmed not to shed. It has the same characteristics as your hair in the frontal areas.
