Many people spend weeks comparing the names of hair transplant techniques without really understanding what these terms actually refer to. This confusion is understandable. Clinics, Do you have? , Sapphire FUE and They use terms such as ‘robotic DHI’ as if they were separate surgical procedures ; however, these are not separate processes. These are variations of two basic categories.

AAACI Akredite Cerrahı, ISHRS Üyesi ve Robotik DHI’nin Mucidi
Haziran 2026’da güncellendi
This content has been reviewed by Dr Servet Terziler with regard to medical accuracy, the classification of hair transplant techniques, graft survival, robotic DHI, donor site safety and patient suitability.
Every hair transplant consists of two stages: Retrieval of follicular units from the donor site and implantation into the recipient site . The technical name indicates how each stage is carried out . FUT and FUE refer to the extraction of follicular units . Choi pen, forceps and Robotic systems, on the other hand, define sowing . Everything else (Sapphire FUE, DHI, Micro FUE, Ice FUE) is a sub-category of one of these categories.
This page provides a detailed overview of every technique in clinical use in 2026, including graft survival rates, pain scores, recovery times, and which technique yields the best results for which hair type, stage of hair loss and body area.
In summary
- FUE, yüksek greft hacmine sahip vakalar (3000’den fazla greft) için en iyisidir. Seans başına yüksek greft sayısı öncelikli olduğunda iyi bir seçenektir.
- DHI is the best method for achieving a dense hairline. It has the highest survival rate, at 90–97 per cent. Slightly fewer grafts are used per session.
- Robotic DHI offers the highest precision. It is the best option for an artistic hairline and maximum density.
- FUT is the least expensive and highest-volume method per session. It leaves a linear scar. It is most suitable for Norwood grades 6–7.
- Sapphire FUE and Micro FUE are refinements of the FUE technique; they are not separate techniques.
- ISHRS’ye göre DHI bir saç ekimi yöntemi değildir. DHI bir implantasyon aracıdır.
What Are the Main Hair Transplant Techniques?
There are four clinically recognised categories of hair transplant techniques: FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) , FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) , created using a Choi pen DHI Implantation and Robotic DHI . All other terms you may come across (Sapphire FUE, Ice FUE, Gold FUE, Nano FUE, Micro FUE) It describes a variation of a tool within one of these four techniques , it is not a separate procedure.
| TECHNICAL | Category | ISHRS | SURVIVAL | THE BEST | SCAR | CERTAINTY | COST (TR) | Maximum |
| FUT (Strip) | Harvest | YES | %90-95 | Norwood 5–7; maximum volume level | Linear (15–25 cm) | Temperate | 1.500-2.500 € | 5.000 |
| FUE | Harvest | YES | %90-95 | Suitable for most hair types; leaves no linear marks. | Micro-scars | High | 2.000-3.500 € | 4.500 |
| Safir FUE | FUE + sapphire blade | Just the tool | %90-95 | Sensitive skin; faster healing | Micro-scars | High | 2.500-4.000 € | 4.500 |
| Mikro FUE | FUE + smaller incisions | Just the tool | %90-95* | The donor area is very small; fine-textured hair | The tiniest traces | High | 2.500-4.000 € | 3.500 |
| DHI / Choi Pen | Implantation device | Not a method, but a tool. | %90-97 | Hairline density; women; faster recovery | Micro-scars | Very high | 2.500-4.500 € | 4.000 |
| DHI Robotics | Artificial intelligence robotic implant | Developing | %97’ye kadar | Artistic hairline; maximum precision | Micro-scars | Highest | 3.000-5.500 € | 4.500 |
| FUE Robotics (ARTAS) | Robotic harvesting | YES | %88-95 | Automatic extraction; early Norwood | Micro-scars | Temperate | 3.500-6.000 € | 3.000-4.000 |
| Bio FUE | FUE + PRP/growth factors | Uncategorised | %90-96* | Improved recovery; low donor density | Micro-scars | High | 2.500-4.500 € | 4.000 |
IMPORTANT: Sapphire FUE, Ice FUE, Gold FUE, nano FUE and micro FUE are not recognised as separate techniques by the ISHRS. These terms refer to variations in the instruments used within standard FUE. A clinic that markets these techniques as separate innovations is using commercial terminology rather than clinical classification.

What is the FUE Hair Transplant Technique?
In the FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) method, Follicular units are extracted one by one from the donor site, usually using a circular micro-punch with a diameter of 0.8 to 1.0 mm . Each punch is rotated into the scalp around a single follicular unit, and the unit is removed in its entirety. A linear incision is not made . The donor site, saç 1 cm’den uzun uzadığında which has become invisible, It heals with scattered circular micro-scars.
The FUE method achieves a graft survival rate of 90–95 per cent when performed by experienced practitioners . The most critical quality variable is the breakage rate, which is the percentage of follicles damaged during extraction. Yetenekli bir cerrah %5’in altında kesilme oranı elde eder . Clinics that leave extractions to technicians who have not received adequate training %15-20’nin üzerinde kesilme oranına ulaşır ; this means that one in every five grafts fails before it has even been implanted.
FUE hair transplant, It is suitable for most types of hair loss and hair types. This is the standard technique for patients who want short hairstyles after surgery, as there is no linear scar that needs to be concealed. The number of grafts per session varies between 1,500 and 4,500, depending on donor density and the surface area of the scalp.
- SERVET TERZİLER, MD | AAACI | ISHRS WORKSHOP
“Her hasta için seçtiğimiz punch boyutu, trikoskopi altında folikül şaftının çapını ölçerek belirlenir. İnce bir folikülde 0,9 mm’lik punch gereksiz yara izine neden olur. Kalın bir şaftta 0,8 mm’lik punch ise kesilme riskini artırır. Kalibrasyon, ilk ekstraksiyondan sonra değil, önce yapılır.”

What is the Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant Technique?
Safir FUE is a standard FUE technique in which the blade used to create recipient channels is made of sapphire crystal rather than surgical steel . A sapphire tip is harder (Mohs sertliği 9, çeliğin 6-7’sine karşılık) and It creates a V-shaped channel instead of the U-shaped channel formed by the steel blades. A sharper geometry reduces tissue displacement during canal preparation; this may reduce micro-inflammation and the formation of scabs It can increase the speed by 20–30 per cent compared with steel.
ISHRS, Sapphire FUE’yi ayrı bir teknik olarak sınıflandırmamaktadır. It is described as an improvement on the standard FUE technique . The graft survival rate is the same as with standard FUE (90–95 per cent), because the survival rate is primarily It is determined more by the extraction rate, the processing of the graft and the storage solution than by the material of the channel blade.
Safir FUE, patients with sensitive skin , patients who have undergone high-density filling in the small recipient area and This is the most suitable method for patients who wish to speed up the healing of scabs . There is a modest additional cost, which is justified by the improved recovery profile in the right candidate.
Akran değerlendirmesinden geçmiş randomize kontrollü bir çalışmada, greft sağkalımını birincil sonlanım noktası olarak ele alarak, safir bıçak ile çelik bıçak sonuçlarını geniş ölçekte karşılaştırmayan bir araştırma yapılmamıştır. İyileşme avantajları klinik olarak gözlemlenmiş ve tutarlıdır, ancak RCT verilerinin yokluğu, safir FUE’nin kanıtlanmış bir sağkalım oranı iyileştirmesi olarak pazarlanmaması gerektiği anlamına gelir. Dr. Terziler bunu dürüstçe sunuyor.

What is the Micro FUE Hair Transplant Technique?
with a diameter of 0.6 to 0.8 mm, which is smaller than the standard range of 0.8 to 1.0 mm This is an FUE procedure performed using a single needle. A smaller needle leaves smaller micro-scars in the donor area; this is ideal for those who keep their hair very short (scissor length 0–1) and do not want visible scars in the donor area It is the greatest benefit for patients.
ISHRS, Mikro FUE’yi ayrı bir teknik olarak tanımamaktadır. Punch size is a surgical variable , this is not a classification of procedures. The appropriate punch size for each patient depends on the follicular shaft diameter, which is measured by trichoscopy prior to the procedure. Kalın bir folikül şaftına uygulanan 0,7 mm’lik bir punch, kesilme riskini significantly increases it. This is not a universal improvement.
Micro FUE increases the risk of the follicular shaft being severed, as the curvature of the shaft already poses a risk Not recommended for patients with Afro-type hair or thick hair follicles . Dr Terziler selects the punch size following follicular mapping; the punch is guided by the patient, not the other way round.

Please send a message to the clinic including your photographs and your priorities (volume, density, preference for no shaving, sensitivity regarding the hairline, or facial hair restoration).
What is the DHI Hair Transplant Technique?
, a sharp, hollow instrument known as a Choi implantation pen describes the use of a device; this device opens a micro-channel in a single movement and implants the follicular unit . The graft is loaded onto the Choi pen, the pen is positioned at the required angle and depth, and the graft is placed directly into position. There is no waiting time between channel creation and implantation.
The ISHRS states clearly: DHI is not a hair transplant method, but an implantation tool. Donor Hair can be harvested using the FUE or FUT method before commencing Choi pen implantation.
DHI hair transplant, because it reduces the time each graft spends outside the body by eliminating the need for a pre-prepared tunnel %90-97’lik (standart FUE’den daha yüksek) greft hayatta kalma oranlarına ulaşır . Bu süreye iskemi penceresi denir: folikülün ATP enerji rezervlerini tükettiği dönem. Daha kısa iskemi süresi = daha yüksek hayatta kalma oranı . The Choi pen reduces the time taken for this procedure from minutes to seconds per graft.
The diameter of the Choi pen is clinically significant. Standart Choi kaleminin çapı 0,75 mm’dir. Dr. Terziler Exclusive Clinic, klinik kullanımda en ince olan 0,70 mm’lik Choi kalemini kullanmaktadır. This 0,05 mm’lik fark, alıcı kanal genişliğini azaltır , reduces the risk of hyperpigmentation in people with darker skin types (Fitzpatrick V–VI) and enables grafts to be placed more densely without exceeding the vascular capacity of the scalp .
The ISHRS also emphasises that sharp Choi points out that the ‘Choi pen’ procedure involves making an incision in the skin and that, for this reason, it must be performed by a licensed surgeon rather than a technician . Dr. Terziler Exclusive Clinic’te implantasyon her vakada bizzat Dr. Terziler tarafından gerçekleştirilmektedir.
- SERVET TERZİLER, MD | AAACI | ISHRS MEMBERSHIP
“DHI’yi ‘teknik’ olarak adlandıran her klinik, ISHRS’nin kendi terimini yanlış kullanıyor ve bu önemli çünkü hastaların kendilerine sunulanları doğru bir şekilde karşılaştıramamaları anlamına geliyor. DHI, Choi kalemini tanımlar. Doku alma yöntemi hala FUE veya FUT’tur. ‘FUE + DHI implantasyonu’ rezervasyonu yapan bir hasta, eksiksiz ve doğru bir şekilde tanımlanmış bir prosedür rezervasyonu yapmaktadır. Sadece ‘DHI’ rezervasyonu yapan bir hastaya ise eksik bir açıklama satılmaktadır.”

What is the Robotic DHI Hair Transplant Technique?
, angle control , depth consistency and human error in the calculation of graft density reducing AI-assisted graft selection in a system and combines it with Choi pen implantation. The robotic DHI machine was invented by Dr Servet Terziler ; this is a situation where every engineering decision is made not by a corporate team, but by a practising surgeon, It is the only robotic DHI system developed within an active surgical practice.
O DHI Robotics the system, with an average time outside the body of less than 90 seconds per graft, , all the hair transplant techniques currently available arasında en kısa süreyi elde etmektedir. Bu , %97’ye varan greft hayatta kalma oranının temel itici gücüdür . The system uses AI-assisted placement to ensure consistent angulation at thousands of implantation sites and eliminates the factor of fatigue, which affects human implantation accuracy during long sessions.
O Picasso Robotik DHI’nin belirleyici özelliği robot değil, saç çizgisidir. Herhangi bir implantasyon başlamadan önce, Dr. Terziler her hastanın yüz yapısına, yaşına ve saç özelliklerine göre saç çizgisini elle, bireysel olarak çizer. Bu, robotun yerini alamayacağı sanatsal bir değerlendirmedir. Dr. Terziler, tam olarak bu süreç nedeniyle Saçın Picasso’su olarak anılmaktadır. Makine yerleştirmeyi gerçekleştirir. Cerrah çerçeveyi tasarlar.
Robotik DHI ile greft sağkalımı, optimal koşullar altında %97’ye kadar ulaşmaktadır . This oran, standart DHI için %90-97 ve standart FUE için %90-95’tir . This difference is significant for large procedures, where marginal improvements in survival translate into hundreds of additional viable grafts.

What is the best hair transplant technique in 2026?
2026’da en iyi saç ekimi tekniği, saç çizgisi yoğunluğunu ve doğal sonuçları önceliklendiren hastalar için Choi kalem implantasyonu ile DHI’dır . Robotics DHI is the best option for patients who want both the highest precision and an artistically designed hairline . FUE is suitable for those requiring large graft volumes (3,000+) in a single session and is best suited to patients for whom speed and volume are more important than the precision of implantation. FUT is best suited to patients who require the highest possible number of grafts in a single session and are not concerned about a linear donor scar.
There is no single ‘best’ technique for all patients. The technique should be determined on the basis of a clinical assessment: donor density , scalp laxity , hair type , pattern of shedding and target outcome . Dr. Terziler Exclusive Clinic’te, her teknik önerisi ameliyat öncesi trikoskopik değerlendirmeye göre yapılır. Teknik, hastaya pazarlanmak yerine, hastaya özel olarak seçilir.

What Are the Latest Hair Transplant Techniques in 2026?
The honest answer regarding 2026 is that the fundamental principles have not changed. FUE, DHI and FUT remain the three clinical categories. What is truly new is not so much the introduction of new categories, but rather the supportive protocols that improve outcomes within each technique. (storage solutions, AI-guided guidance, punch engineering and a combination of PRP) is being developed.
Robotic DHI is the most significant development of the last three years. The Robotic DHI system, developed by Dr Servet Terziler, is the only robotic DHI device produced by a practising surgeon and It reduces the time taken for extracorporeal grafting to under 90 seconds; this is a figure that no other system has yet been able to achieve . AI-assisted angle mapping is emerging at the research stage but has not yet reached clinical standard. ATP-enhanced graft preservation (discussed in the biology section below) has been adopted by leading clinics and significantly improves outcomes in large procedures.
The one area where no significant progress has been made is as follows: Robotic FUE extraction systems such as ARTAS achieve graft survival rates of between 88 per cent and 95 per cent ; these rates are comparable to those achieved with expert manual FUE, but do not exceed them. Although the robot is superior in terms of consistency and speed, it is not yet able to outperform an experienced surgeon in complex anatomical cases. Türkiye, küresel saç ekimi hacminin %25-35’ini uzman manuel teknik kullanarak gerçekleştirmekte olup , the results are the same as those obtained by robotic extraction, or It is of a higher standard, whilst the cost is 30–50 per cent lower.

What is the biological basis for choosing a hair transplant technique?
Transplanted hair follicle a cluster of living cells. From the donor’s scalp the moment he left is removed from the bloodstream and ATP begins to deplete its energy reserves . ATP (adenosine triphosphate), every cell survival , division and the energy it requires to function unit. When ATP is depleted, the follicle dies.
At room temperature and without a storage solution , the viability of the grafts is approximately two hours then begins to decrease . In the fourth hour , Survival rates in unprotected grafts decrease significantly . At the sixth hour, however, many The graft loses its viability before it is even implanted . For this reason, the time spent outside the body is the most important quality criterion in hair transplant surgery, and virtually no clinic publishes this figure.
The graft survival rates obtained after five days’ storage under different conditions are as follows: Hypothermol plus ATP achieved a 72 per cent survival rate . Only Hypothermol achieved a survival rate of 44 per cent, whilst plain saline solution achieved a survival rate of 0 per cent. (Dr. Jerry Cooley’nin araştırması.) Bu, ATP’nin isteğe bağlı bir katkı maddesi olmadığını , daha uzun süreli seanslarda greft canlılığını korumak için işlevsel olarak kritik olduğunu doğrulamaktadır . Dr. Terziler, 2500’den fazla greft içeren tüm seanslar için standart protokol olarak ATP ile güçlendirilmiş depolama yöntemini kullanmaktadır.
Bu biyoloji, DHI’nin greft sağkalımında standart FUE’den neden daha iyi performans gösterdiğini doğrudan açıklıyor. Choi kalemi, kanal oluşturma ve implantasyon arasındaki bekleme süresini ortadan kaldırıyor; kanallar oluşturulurken greftler asla bir bekleme kabında bekletilmiyor. Robotik DHI sistemi bunu daha da ileri götürerek, It achieves an extracorporeal time of less than 90 seconds per graft on average . This is the shortest duration of any technique currently used in clinical practice.

“Hastalar bana sürekli hangi tekniğin en iyi olduğunu soruyor. Cevabım her zaman aynı: En iyi teknik, greftlerinizi en uzun süre canlı tutan tekniktir. Choi kalemi, ATP depolama, 90 saniyenin altındaki implantasyon süresi, bunlar pazarlama taktikleri değil. Bunlar biyolojinin ta kendisi. Geri kalan her şey sadece isimden ibaret.”

Which is the cheapest hair transplant technique?
FUT (Foliküler Ünite Transplantasyonu), en ucuz saç ekimi tekniğidir. Türkiye’de, 2.500 ila 3.000 greftlik bir seans için FUT’un maliyeti 1.500 ila 2.500 Euro arasındadır. The reason for the lower cost is that strip excision yields more grafts per surgical hour than individual FUE punch extraction; the economic benefit of this speed is reflected in the cost.
The disadvantage, however, is that along the donor area generally 15 to 25 cm long , is a permanent linear scar that can be seen in short hairstyles. FUE, It offers competitive prices for sessions involving fewer than 1,500 grafts . DHI, Choi kalem maliyetleri ve daha yavaş implantasyon hızı nedeniyle standart FUE’ye göre %15 ila %25 daha pahalıdır . Robotic DHI is the most expensive option.

Which is the least painful hair transplant method?
Do you have? and Robotic DHI: the least painful hair transplant are the methods. FUT if the most painful It is a hair transplant technique.
All hair transplant techniques are carried out under local anaesthesia containing epinephrine. The epinephrine component reduces bleeding by constricting the blood vessels and prolongs the effects of the anaesthetic. Approximately 3 to 5 minutes after the injection, once local anaesthesia had taken effect, , patients They feel pressure and movement but do not experience pain. Most patients rate the procedure itself on a pain scale of 1 to 3 out of 10 assesses .
The most uncomfortable part of a hair transplant is the procedure itself himself No, it is an anaesthetic injection. The scalp has a dense network of nerves, and the administration of a local anaesthetic involves multiple needle insertions. This stage takes 3 to 5 minutes, and patients usually Rates it as 4 to 5 out of 10 . From this point onwards, the remainder of the session becomes manageable for the vast majority of patients.
DHI performed using the Choi pen, alıcı bölgede FUE’ye göre biraz daha az rahatsızlık verir çünkü kalem, kanalı oluşturur ve grefti tek bir hareketle yerleştirir, bu da çevredeki dokunun mekanik olarak manipüle edilmesini azaltır. Fark küçüktür, hastalar DHI’yi daha az acı verdiği için seçmezler. Greftlerin hayatta kalma oranı ve saç çizgisi hassasiyeti için seçerler. Ağrı düzeyi, It is not a clinically significant distinguishing factor between FUE and DHI .
compared with other techniques It is the surgical technique that causes the most discomfort after the operation. Linear incision and stitch tension, causing discomfort at a level of 4 to 6 out of 10 paves the way. Post-operative For 5 to 7 days, FUE veya DHI’dan sonraki 24 ila 48 saat içinde 10 hastadan 2 ila 3’ünde görülen orana kıyasla.
★★★★★ 5/5
“Giderken çok korkmuştum, ağrı eşiğim düşük ve neredeyse iptal edecektim. Anestezi iğneleri yaklaşık 4 dakika boyunca rahatsız ediciydi. Ondan sonra, 7 saatlik DHI seansı boyunca gerçekten hiçbir şey hissetmedim. İki film izledim ve öğle yemeği yedim. Tüm günü değerlendirmem gerekirse, ağrı açısından belki 10 üzerinden 2 diyebilirim. İyileşme sürecindeki ağrı ilk gün yaklaşık 3 civarındaydı, sonra geçti.”

Which is less painful: DHI or FUE?
Lokal anestezi altında hastaların %97’sinde DHI ve FUE, ağrı deneyimi açısından eşdeğerdir. Her ikisi de aynı anestezi protokolünü kullanır. Her ikisi de aynı donör bölgeden aynı FUE punch’ı kullanarak doku alır. Tek anlamlı fark alıcı bölgededir: DHI’nin Choi kalemi, önceden hazırlanmış kanal adımını ortadan kaldırarak çevredeki dokunun mekanik manipülasyonunu yaklaşık Reduces it by 30 per cent. In practice, patients do not report any noticeable difference between FUE and DHI in terms of discomfort in the recipient area.
Following surgery, both techniques result in mild tightness in the donor area lasting between 24 and 48 hours, and It causes mild graft sensitivity lasting between 5 and 7 days. These symptoms are managed with standard painkillers as part of the post-operative protocol. In uncomplicated cases, neither technique requires opioid analgesia.

Is FUE or FUT more painful?
FUT, FUE’ye göre ameliyat sonrası önemli ölçüde daha ağrılıdır. Her iki işlem de lokal anestezi altında yapılır ve Following anaesthesia, pain intensity ranges from 1 to 3 out of 10. The difference becomes apparent once the anaesthetic has worn off.
In patients undergoing the FUE procedure, a sensation of tightness in the donor area, rated at 2 to 3 out of 10, is felt for 24 to 48 hours, after which the condition resolves. In patients who have undergone the FUT procedure, however, the discomfort caused by suture tension is rated at 4 to 6 out of 10 and lasts for 5 to 7 days. Having the stitches removed on days 10 to 14 adds a further dimension to the discomfort.
Patients who require scalp tightening due to the removal of a large section of scalp may experience a sensation of tightness intermittently for up to three weeks.

Which hair transplant technique has the highest success rate?
DHI, performed using the Choi pen, accounts for % of standard hair transplant techniques 90 ila %97 ile en yüksek greft hayatta kalma oranına ulaşmaktadır. Robotik DHI sistemi, optimum koşullar altında %97’ye kadar başarı sağlamaktadır. FUE ve FUT yöntemleri ise deneyimli ellerde %90 ila %95 oranında başarı elde etmektedir.
These are ranges, not guarantees. Cerrahın deneyimi, çekim hızı, saklama solüsyonunun kalitesi ve seans süresi, her tekniğin aralığındaki nihai başarı oranını etkiler. Kötü uygulanan bir DHI, %70’in altına düşebilir. Uzman bir cerrah tarafından iyi uygulanan bir FUE, aralığın en üst noktasına ulaşabilir.

| Picasso Robotics DHI | %97’ye kadar | Out-of-body experience lasting less than 90 seconds + AI-assisted placement |
| DHI (Choi pen) | %90-97 | Minimal ischaemic window via a single-stage implant procedure |
| FUE | %90-95 | The surgeon’s skill + the ATP graft preservation protocol |
| Safir FUE | %90-95 | It is the same as with FUE; the material of the blade affects healing, but not the permanence of the results. |
| FUT (Strip) | %90-95 | High graft yield per hour, condition of the donor strip |
The most important questions to ask a clinic are not which technique they use, but what the average time each graft spends outside the body is, and which storage solution they use between extraction and implantation. These two answers provide more information about the expected survival rate than any specific technique name.

Which hair transplant technique offers the quickest recovery time?
DHI and Robotic DHI are the techniques that offer the fastest recovery time of all hair transplant techniques. The Choi pen creates smaller and more precise recipient channels, resulting in less scabbing, faster scab formation and earlier normalisation of the scalp surface. Most DHI patients return to desk-based work within 3 to 5 days . Initial redness subsides within 7 to 10 days for DHI and within 10 to 14 days for standard FUE gets lost in it.
FUT involves a significantly slower recovery process compared to other methods. Linear donor incision Stitch care for 10 to 14 days and requires the removal of stitches, and patients in the donor area They may feel tense for up to three weeks. FUT is not recommended for patients who are unable to set aside sufficient recovery time due to work or social commitments.

| Get back to your desk job | 5–7 days | 3–5 days | 3–5 days | 3–5 days |
| The scabs are healing | 12–14 days | 10–14 days | 7–10 days | 7–10 days |
| The redness is subsiding | 2–3 weeks | 10–14 days | 7–10 days | 7–10 days |

What Is the Best Hair Transplant Technique for Women?
DHI is the preferred hair transplant technique for women. The Choi technique allows for precise implantation without the need to completely shave the donor area. Women who wish to maintain their current hairstyles during the recovery process can opt for DHI, which involves targeted donor extraction from concealed areas. Both the FUE and FUT methods require a larger area to be shaved and this creates a more noticeable visual effect during the healing process and leads to less effective results.
The DHI method without shaving, It allows for the gentle addition of density to thinning areas without disrupting the surrounding natural hair; this is particularly important for women with diffuse hair thinning (Ludwig classification I–II), for whom maintaining existing density is just as important as adding new grafts.
Before selecting any technique for women experiencing active, widespread hair loss, a careful assessment of their suitability must be carried out. Performing a hair transplant on areas of ongoing active hair loss carries the risk that, although the transplanted grafts will be permanent, the surrounding natural hair will continue to thin, resulting in an uneven outcome. Dr Terziler carries out a trichoscopic assessment of areas of active hair loss before accepting any female candidate.

What is the best hair transplant technique for Afro hair?
Manual FUE using a curved or motorised punch , In conjunction with DHI implantation , This is the recommended approach for Afro-type hair. Afro-type follicles have a curved shaft beneath the skin’s surface; the visible curves of the shaft are continuous with the curved follicle root. This curvature significantly increases the likelihood of the follicle being severed (cut) during rotation when using standard straight-punch FUE extraction.
An experienced surgeon uses a curved punch aligned with the subcutaneous angle of the follicle to make the incision oranlarını %5’in altına düşürür . Inexperienced operators using a standard flat punch, Afro tipi saçlarda %15 ila %20’nin üzerinde kesilme oranına ulaşabilir ; bu da her beş greftten birinin ekimden önce hasar görmesi anlamına gelir.

What is the best hair transplant technique for curly hair?
FUE performed using the appropriate punch , In conjunction with DHI implantation , this is the standard recommendation for patients with European or Mediterranean-type curly hair. The curvature of the hair shaft is less pronounced than in Afro-type hair, but nevertheless increases the risk of rupture compared with a standard flat follicle . An experienced surgeon takes the angle of curvature into account during extraction.
One of the advantages of curly hair is that visual density . Curly hair grafts provide greater visible coverage per follicle than straight hair, as the natural curl increases the visual surface area of each hair strand. This means that: Hair transplants for curly hair Patients with curly hair generally achieve their target density with fewer grafts than those with straight hair; this can reduce the number of sessions and shorten the recovery time.

What is the best hair transplant technique for white or grey hair?
DHI is the preferred method for patients with white or grey hair. During FUE extraction, it is considerably more difficult to visualise non-pigmented follicles using a trichoscope; the hair shaft lacks the pigment contrast that helps the surgeon track the angle of the follicle in real time. This situation, in non-pigmented hair, increases the risk of hair loss beyond typical FUE rates.
DHI’nin tek hareketli The implantation method is also advantageous for patients with white or grey hair who are experiencing age-related changes in skin laxity that affect the sensitivity of the recipient area. The Choi pen’s direct control over angle and depth minimises the effect of skin softness on the accuracy of placement.
White or grey hair presents challenges when styling the hairline : pigmentsiz saçlarda, görünür bir ek saç görünümünden kaçınmak için son derece hassas tek saç ünitesi ön kenar yerleşimi gerekir. Dr. Terziler’in elle çizdiği saç çizgisi tasarımı, bu hastalar için özellikle önemlidir.

What is the best hair transplant technique for people who are completely bald?
Complete baldness (Norwood Class 6–7) is usually Requires 5,000 grafts or more . This usually means two separate sessions, as the vascular capacity of the recipient scalp limits the survival rate of grafts exceeding approximately 4,500 in a single session. FUT, ilk seansta 5.000 greft’e kadar verimi en üst düzeye çıkarır and It is generally recommended for stage 6–7 patients who require maximum volume and are not concerned about a linear scar.
FUE, carried out over two sessions, is an alternative for patients who wish to avoid a linear scar. 8 to 12 months The intervals between sessions allow the donor area to heal and the follicular cycle to run its course before the second harvest.
The most important point is this: In patients with complete baldness undergoing hair transplantation Assessment of the donor area is crucial. An inadequate donor area (characterised by low density at the back and sides, which is common in advanced Norwood patterns) may fail to provide sufficient grafts for complete coverage, regardless of the technique used. Establishing realistic density expectations before selecting any technique protects patients from disappointment following the full procedure. Dr Terziler will not accept cases where the donor area cannot meet the patient’s expectations regarding coverage.

What Is the Best Hair Transplant Technique for Older People?
Age alone is not a contraindication for hair transplant surgery. 60’lı ve 70’li yaşlarındaki hastalar, ilgili ameliyat öncesi değerlendirmeler tamamlandığı takdirde, genç hastalara benzer greft sağkalımıyla FUE ve DHI yöntemlerini başarıyla geçirmişlerdir. Dr. Terziler Exclusive Clinic’te 60 yaş üstü hastalar için tıbbi onay ( Including an ECG, a full blood count and a cardiovascular assessment ) is required.
DHI, a smaller volume of anaesthetic (as it does not require a large tumour injection) and, due to the shorter implantation time, it reduces the physiological burden and is therefore generally preferred for elderly patients. Donor density naturally decreases with age, and elderly patients may require a smaller-scale session plan that takes into account the yield achievable over multiple potential sessions, rather than a single session with maximum extraction.
It is particularly important for elderly patients to continue treatment with minoxidil and finasteride, as androgenetic alopecia continues to progress even after a hair transplant. The transplanted hair follicles are permanent, but the surrounding natural hair is not.

What is the best hair transplant technique for transgender people?
DHI is the most versatile technique for hair transplants carried out for the purpose of gender reassignment. DHI for transgender women (MTF), feminising the hairline , lowering the hairline , rounding out the temples and which characterises the female hairline helps to create a gentler forward curve . This procedure requires, more so than other hair restoration techniques, the precision of the Choi pen in creating single-hair units and the surgeon’s customised hairline mapping.
visual result It depends almost entirely on the quality of the hairline design , rather than the volume of the grafts implanted. A technically correct transplant performed on a poorly designed hairline will produce an unsatisfactory result that requires correction. Dr Terziler personally designs every MTF hairline according to facial geometry, forehead height, the pattern of hair loss in the temple region, and the patient’s specific aesthetic goals.
In cases where testosterone treatment has produced insufficient results, to increase beard density, fill in the sideburns and define facial features FUE donor hair extraction from the scalp can be used. Where precision is of the utmost importance beard line and DHI is the preferred method for the areas where the cheeks are to be contoured.

What is the best hair transplant technique for facial and body hair?
Facial hair transplantation requires different technical approaches to scalp hair transplantation . The angle of the incision, Choi pen depth, graft unit composition and expected outcomes vary significantly depending on the anatomy. DHI performed using a 0.70 mm Choi pen is the preferred technique for all facial hair areas. The precision and angular control it provides cannot be achieved with forceps implantation.

What Is the Best Hair Transplant Technique for Eyebrow Transplantation?
The DHI technique, performed using a 0.70 mm Choi pen, is the only technique that consistently achieves the implantation angles required for natural-looking eyebrow transplant results. Natural eyebrow hairs, relative to the skin’s surface It extends at an angle of 10 to 15 degrees ; this comes from the hair on the scalp (35 to 45 degrees) a much shallower angle. At these angles, the single-motion implantation technique using the Choi pen allows for precise control of depth and angle, which cannot be achieved with forceps-based FUE implantation.
Typical number of grafts Between 200 and 350 follicular units per eyebrow. Eyebrow hairs grow in layers and in different directions: the hairs in the top row are angled upwards, whilst those in the bottom row are angled downwards. To replicate this, the direction of each individual graft must be assessed separately. That is why Eyebrow transplant The results vary so greatly from one surgeon to another that, even if the technique is the same, its application requires anatomical knowledge and artistic skill.
An important note for patients: The scalp donor hair used for eyebrows grows at the same rate as the scalp, which is considerably faster than natural eyebrow hairs. Transplanted eyebrows require regular trimming. It takes between 8 and 12 months for the results to fully develop . Temporary shock loss of existing eyebrow hairs is possible in the months following the operation.

What Is the Best Hair Transplant Technique for a Moustache?
DHI is the preferred technique for moustache transplants. Moustache hairs, extending downwards from the upper lip and slightly outwards It extends at angles of between 20 and 30 degrees . The placement of single-hair units at these angles requires the precision of the Choi pen. The typical number of grafts depends on the desired coverage area It ranges from 200 to 500 follicular units.
For hair donations Moustache transplant It is usually performed using hair taken from the occipital region. Beard hairs taken from the cheeks can also be used as a donor source, enabling the retrieval of hair follicles that are naturally thicker and more similar in texture to natural moustache hair. Dr Terziler selects the donor source based on the desired moustache thickness and the existing beard density. The results become visible within 6 to 9 months.

What is the best hair transplant technique for a beard transplant?
The DHI method is the preferred choice for beard transplants in sensitive areas : cheek filler , clean-shaven line and where a natural-looking density requires individual graft placement sparsely populated areas . The FUE method, followed by forceps implantation, is also used in larger treatment areas where maximising coverage is more important than precision per graft. The typical number of grafts depends on the coverage target It ranges from 500 to 2,000 follicular units.
Beard hairs can serve two purposes . In patients where the density of scalp donor hair is insufficient for complete scalp reconstruction, harvesting grafts from the beard provides additional grafts; thicker beard hairs, when trimmed to standard lengths, blend in with areas of the scalp that have normal density without looking out of place.
Dr Terziler adjusts the depth settings of the Choi pen in accordance with the anatomy of the beard. The facial skin (particularly on the cheeks) is softer and more mobile than the scalp, which affects the calculation of the implantation depth. Beard transplant the results take 9 to 12 months to become apparent . Initial growth has an irregular and patchy appearance before reaching full density.

What is the best hair transplant technique for achieving your ideal look?
The DHI technique, which uses single-hair grafts, is the only technique suitable for hairline restoration in the temple area. The transition from the sideburns to the temples requires a gradient of density, progressing from individually isolated hairs at the edge to full coverage of the scalp. Any block transplanting or irregular boundaries in this area are immediately noticeable and difficult to correct.
The typical number of grafts is between 100 and 250 follicular units for each recipient area. Implantation angles at the favora margin It is between 5 and 15 degrees (as shallow as the angles used in eyebrow transplants) and requires the same level of control over the direction of the grafts. For this reason, the FUE method using forceps implantation is not recommended for the hairline area. Favourite beard transplant results It appears 8 to 12 months later.

Is post-operative care the same for all types of hair transplant techniques?
The first 72 hours are the same for all hair transplant techniques . Do not touch the grafts . Sleep at a 45-degree angle with your head elevated . Apply a saline spray to the graft site every 30 minutes . Avoid direct exposure to sunlight . Do not drink alcohol . Do not exercise . This protocol is universal and non-negotiable, regardless of whether the patient has undergone a hair transplant using the FUE, DHI or FUT method.
- From that day onwards, the protocols differ slightly . Patients with FUT should clean their linear donor scar every day , neck stretching or You should avoid scalp tension and They should return between days 10 and 14 to have their stitches removed . FUE and DHI patients, on the other hand, use the special technique provided by the clinic to prevent the grafts from shifting, From the 3rd or 4th day onwards, you should start washing the baby’s hair gently with a pH-neutral baby shampoo.
Long-term care (From the 1st month to the 12th month) It is the same for all techniques: You should not wear a hat or tight headwear for two weeks , Sun protection should be applied to the scalp for three months and for patients with androgenetic alopecia prescribed medical treatments (finasteride, minoxidil or dutasteride) should be continued. The transplanted hair follicles are permanent. However, the natural hair surrounding it is not permanent and requires ongoing medical management.

What Are the Alternatives to Hair Transplant Surgery?
A hair transplant is the only procedure that permanently restores hair to a bald area. The following alternatives address hair loss through different mechanisms: slowing down hair loss, increasing the density of remaining follicles, or providing a cosmetic improvement. None of these can replace hair transplant surgery for patients with areas of hair loss.
Finasteride, FDA onaylı bir DHT engelleyicisidir ve New England Journal of Medicine’de yayınlanan bir araştırmaya göre erkek kullanıcıların %80 ila %90’ında androjenetik saç dökülmesini yavaşlatır veya durdurur. Kel bölgelerde saç yeniden çıkmasını sağlamaz. It works by systematically reducing DHT levels and this also protects the sensitive follicles from shrinking. It requires continuous use; discontinuing finasteride usually It causes hair loss to resume within 6 to 12 months . It is not approved for use in women of childbearing age.
Minoxidil, It is an FDA-approved topical vasodilator available without a prescription. It prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the hair follicle cycle. Kullanıcıların %40 ila %60’ında klinik olarak ölçülebilir seviyelerde etki gösterir. Erken evre yaygın saç incelmesi için en etkilidir and brings about a modest improvement in hair density in the crown area. As with finasteride, discontinuing its use reverses the benefits.
Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), It is FDA-approved for the treatment of hair loss. A meta-analysis published in the journal *Lasers in Surgery and Medicine* in 2014, tedavi edilen hastaların %51’inde saç yoğunluğunda iyileşme olduğunu göstermiştir . LLLT is best used not as a stand-alone treatment for moderate to severe hair loss, but as an adjunct therapy alongside finasteride, minoxidil or post-hair-transplant recovery.
, imitating the look of a shaved head or a short beard It is a cosmetic tattooing technique. It does not result in actual hair growth and is not a hair transplant. SMP , where the donor area is unable to support a substantial hair transplant It is a genuinely viable option for patients with a Norwood 6–7 and for those who prefer a shaved look that requires no maintenance.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) The treatment uses autologous growth factors derived from the patient’s own blood to stimulate follicular activity. En güçlü kanıtlar, PRP’nin saç ekimi ameliyatına ek olarak , işlem günü veya sonraki aylarda uygulanmasını desteklemektedir. Önemli saç kaybı için tek başına bir tedavi olarak PRP’ye ilişkin kanıtlar sınırlıdır.
Exosome therapy, a new method using extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells bir rejeneratif tedavi yöntemidir . Eksozomlar, folikül aktivitesini uyaran ve kafa derisi iltihabını azaltan büyüme faktörleri, mRNA ve sinyal proteinleri taşır. Klinik kanıtlar giderek artmaktadır, ancak henüz tek başına bir tedavi olarak etkinliğini doğrulayan büyük ölçekli randomize kontrollü çalışmalar (RCT’ler) bulunmamaktadır. Exosomes produce the most effective results when used in conjunction with microneedling or when administered intraoperatively during hair transplant sessions . Dr. Terziler Exclusive Clinic’te, eksozom terapisi, greft sağkalımını desteklemek ve şok kaybı süresini azaltmak için transplantasyon sonrası iyileşme protokolü olarak sunulmaktadır.
Growth Factor Therapy, EGF (epidermal growth factor) , FGF (fibroblast growth factor) , IGF (insulin-like growth factor) and VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) A solution containing these ingredients is applied directly to the scalp via mesotherapy microinjections or topical application. Growth factors prolong the anagen phase and improve microcirculation in the scalp. The results are measurable in early- and mid-stage diffuse atrophy . Growth factor therapy does not reverse androgenetic hair loss in fully miniaturised follicles.
Hair and Nail Cocktail Treatment, This is a protocol for intravenous and topical micronutrient supplementation designed to treat hair loss caused by nutritional deficiencies . Biotin , zinc , iron , selenium , Vitamin D3 and amino acid complexes By delivering it directly into the bloodstream, it eliminates the variability in absorption associated with oral supplements. It is not effective in androgenetic alopecia . It results in a measurable increase in hair density in patients with nutrient-deficiency-related hair loss, which is more common than is generally recognised, particularly among women.
Hair Elixir, peptides (örneğin…) birleştiren topikal bir serum formülasyonudur. Contents copper peptides and biomimetic peptides, plant stem cell extracts and growth factor analogues. Applied daily to the scalp, this product acts as a supportive aid following medical treatment or hair transplant procedures. The hair tonic does not address the hormonal mechanisms that trigger androgenetic alopecia . It is best positioned not as a stand-alone solution, but as part of a treatment regimen in combination with finasteride or minoxidil.
Tricho Test is not a treatment method, It is a trichogenomic diagnostic tool. DHT sensitivity , risk of androgenetic alopecia progressing and Genetic markers associated with individual response to finasteride and dutasteride treatment analiz eder . Sonuç, kişiselleştirilmiş bir tedavi yolu önerisi sunar. Dr. Terziler Exclusive Clinic’te Tricho Test, uygun tıbbi protokolün belirsiz olduğu hastalarda tedavi öncesi değerlendirme olarak kullanılır; finasterid ile dutasterid arasındaki karar verme sürecindeki belirsizliği ortadan kaldırır ve standart DHT bloke edici tedaviye yanıt verme olasılığı düşük olan hastaları belirler.
| ALTERNATIVE | EFFICIENCY | COST (TURKEY) | THE BEST |

Neden Dr. Terziler Exclusive Clinic’i tercih etmelisiniz?
Each clinic lists the techniques it uses. What sets the results apart is the specifics of these techniques: the choice of punch, the diameter of the Choi pen, the graft storage protocol, the hairline design, and who performs the implantation. These are the variables that determine your outcome.
| DISTINCTIVE | WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT FROM A CLINICAL PERSPECTIVE? |
| Robotic DHI was invented by Dr Terziler. | This system is the only robotic DHI machine to have been developed within an active surgical setting. Every design decision was made not by an engineering team designing to a specific set of specifications, but by a surgeon solving real-world problems during actual operations. This results in a machine that addresses clinical edge cases which general-purpose robots do not take into account. |
| AAACI Accreditation | Amerikan Ayakta Tedavi Cerrahisi Tesisleri Akreditasyon Birliği. Bu akreditasyona sahip Türkiye’deki sayılı kliniklerden biri. Güvenlik protokolleri, sterilizasyon, personel nitelikleri ve cerrahi ortam standartlarının denetlenmesini gerektirir. |
| ISHRS Membership + Workshop Participation | Dr Terziler is an active member of the ISHRS. The ISHRS publishes the clinical standards set out on this page. Membership means that his technical knowledge is continuously updated by the very organisation that defines the evidence base. |
| 0.70 mm Choi Pen | Klinik kullanımda olan en ince Choi kalemi. Standart kalınlık 0,75 mm’dir. Bu 0,05 mm’lik fark, kanal genişliğini azaltır, daha koyu ten tiplerinde hiperpigmentasyon riskini düşürür ve kafa derisinin damar besleme kapasitesini aşmadan daha sıkı greft yerleştirmeyi sağlar. |
| Hairline drawn by the surgeon: each patient | Dr. Terziler her saç çizgisini bizzat kendisi çiziyor. Şablon yok, teknisyen yok, algoritma yok. Saç çizgisi belirleme seansı, cerrah ve hasta arasında bir konuşma niteliğinde; sonucun yer alacağı çerçeveyi belirliyor. Bu yüzden ona Saçın Picasso’su deniyor. |
| Implantation performed by a surgeon | All implantation procedures are carried out by Dr Terziler. The ISHRS states that the sharp Choi pen creates a skin incision and that the procedure must be performed by a licensed surgeon. Dr Terziler adheres fully to this rule. Many clinics do not follow this procedure; this is the difference between a surgical outcome and one resulting from a technician’s work. |

Frequently Asked Questions
+ 2026’da en iyi saç ekimi tekniği hangisidir?
DHI with Choi pen implantation is best suited for patients who prioritise hairline density and natural-looking results. Robotic DHI is best suited for patients seeking maximum precision and an artistically designed hairline. FUE is best suited for high-volume cases involving 3,000 grafts or more. There is no single ‘best’ technique universally; the right choice depends on your stage of hair loss, donor density, hair type and desired outcome.
+ Is DHI a separate hair transplant technique or an implantation tool?
DHI, ayrı bir teknik değil, bir implantasyon aracıdır. ISHRS, DHI’nin bir saç ekimi yöntemi olmadığını ve bu şekilde pazarlanmaması gerektiğini belirtmektedir. DHI, aynı anda mikro bir kanal açan ve grefti yerleştiren Choi implantasyon kalemini tanımlar. DHI implantasyonuna başlamadan önce donör saçlar hala FUE veya FUT yöntemiyle alınır.
+ Which hair transplant technique causes the least pain?
Tüm teknikler lokal anestezi altında gerçekleştirilir. Hastaların çoğu, anestezi uygulandıktan sonra işlem ağrısını 10 üzerinden 1 ila 3 olarak değerlendirir. DHI, Choi kaleminin önceden hazırlanmış kanal adımını ortadan kaldırması nedeniyle alıcı bölgede biraz daha az rahatsız edicidir. Ameliyat sonrası dönemde, FUT en fazla ağrıya neden olur (sütür geriliminden dolayı 5-7 gün boyunca 10 üzerinden 4-6). FUE ve DHI’nin ameliyat sonrası ağrısı 24 ila 48 saat içinde geçer.
+ Which hair transplant technique has the highest success rate?
DHI, %90 ila %97 arasında en yüksek greft sağkalım oranına ulaşır. Robotik DHI %97’ye kadar başarı sağlar. FUE ve FUT ise %90 ila %95 oranında başarı sağlar. DHI’nin daha yüksek oranı, daha kısa iskemi süresinden kaynaklanır; Choi kalemi, kanal oluşturma için bekleme süresi olmadan grefti çekimden hemen sonra yerleştirir.
+ Sapphire FUE nedir ve standart FUE’den daha mı iyidir?
Safir FUE, alıcı kanalları açmak için cerrahi çelik yerine safir kristal bıçak kullanır. Daha temiz, V şeklinde bir kanal oluşturur, mikro iltihabı azaltabilir ve iyileşmeyi %20 ila %30 oranında hızlandırabilir. Standart FUE’ye göre greft sağkalım oranını iyileştirmez. ISHRS bunu ayrı bir teknik olarak sınıflandırmaz. Safir FUE, evrensel bir iyileştirme değil, belirli adaylıklar için haklı bir araç yükseltmesidir.
+ Mikro FUE nedir ve standart FUE’den daha mı iyidir?
Micro FUE uses a smaller punch (0.6–0.8 mm) to minimise the formation of micro-scars in the donor area. It is best suited to patients who prefer very short hairstyles. As a smaller punch increases the risk of cutting, it is not suitable for thick or Afro-type follicular shafts. The punch size should be determined not only by the patient’s preference but also on the basis of a trichoscopic follicular assessment.
+ What is the best hair transplant technique for women?
As DHI does not require the donor area to be completely shaved, it is the most suitable method for women; this allows them to maintain their existing hairstyles during the recovery process. Furthermore, it provides a subtle increase in density without disrupting the surrounding natural hair. Women experiencing active, widespread hair loss should undergo a suitability assessment before any technique is selected.
+ Which is the cheapest hair transplant technique?
FUT, Türkiye’de 2.500 ila 3.000 greft için 1.500 ila 2.500 Euro arasında değişen fiyatıyla en ucuz tekniktir, çünkü şerit ekstraksiyonu, tek tek FUE punch ekstraksiyonuna göre greft başına daha hızlıdır. Maliyet tasarrufu, kalıcı doğrusal bir yara iziyle birlikte gelir. DHI, standart FUE’ye göre %15 ila %25 daha pahalıdır. Robotik DHI, Türkiye’de 3.000 ila 5.500 Euro arasında değişen fiyatıyla en pahalı olanıdır.
+ Which hair transplant technique offers the quickest recovery?
DHI ve Robotik DHI en hızlı iyileşme süresine sahiptir. Hastaların çoğu 3 ila 5 gün içinde masa başı işine döner. FUE’nin iyileşme süresi 7 ila 10 gündür. FUT ise dikiş bakımı gereksinimleri nedeniyle 14 ila 21 gün ile en yavaş iyileşme süresine sahiptir. DHI, Choi kalemi daha küçük ve daha hassas kanallar oluşturduğu için FUE’ye göre daha az kabuklanmaya neden olur.
+ Does it vary depending on the technique used?
The first 72 hours are the same for all techniques. From the third day onwards, FUT patients continue to keep the linear scar clean, avoid pulling on the scalp, and visit the clinic between the 10th and 14th days to have their stitches removed. FUE and DHI patients, on the other hand, begin gentle washing from the 3rd to 4th days. Long-term aftercare (months 1 to 12) is the same for all techniques.
+ What is the best technique for eyebrow transplantation?
The DHI technique, performed using a 0.70 mm Choi pen, is the only technique that consistently achieves the 10 to 15-degree implantation angles required for natural-looking eyebrow results. The typical number of grafts per eyebrow ranges from 200 to 350. The transplanted scalp hairs grow faster than natural eyebrow hairs and require annual trimming. It takes 8 to 12 months for the results to fully mature.
+ What is the best technique for a beard transplant?
The DHI method is preferred for delicate beard areas (cheek area, clean-shaven border). FUE, on the other hand, is suitable for larger areas requiring maximum density. The typical number of grafts ranges from 500 to 2,000. Beard hairs can also be used as a donor source in scalp restoration cases. Results become fully apparent within 9 to 12 months.
+ Which is less painful: DHI or FUE?
DHI ve FUE, hastaların büyük çoğunluğu için ağrı deneyimi açısından eşdeğerdir. Her ikisi de aynı anestezi protokollerini kullanır. Tek fark, DHI’nin Choi kalemi doku manipülasyonunu yaklaşık %30 oranında azalttığı alıcı bölgededir. Hastalar genellikle iki teknik arasında hissedilebilir bir ağrı farkı bildirmezler.
+ What should I ask the clinic before choosing a technique?
Ask five questions: Who performs the implantation – the surgeon or a technician? Which Choi pen diameter do you use? What is the average time the grafts spend outside the body? What does the graft preservation solution contain – does it contain ATP? Does the surgeon personally mark out the hairline? These answers provide more insight into the expected results than any technical terminology.
+ Dr. Terziler’e neden Saçın Picasso’su deniyor?
Dr. Servet Terziler, her işlemden önce her hastanın saç çizgisini elle çizdiği için “Saçın Picasso’su” olarak anılır; şablon, teknisyen veya algoritma kullanılmaz. Saç çizgisi, her hastanın yüz yapısına göre bireysel olarak tasarlanır. Dr. Terziler ayrıca, aktif bir saç ekimi cerrahı tarafından tasarlanan tek robotik DHI sistemi olan Picasso Robotik DHI makinesini de icat etmiştir. AAACI akreditasyonu ve ISHRS üyeliği, klinik profilini tamamlamaktadır.
+ How do the new techniques compare with older hair transplant methods?
1970’ler ve 1980’lerde 4 mm’lik greftler kullanılarak yapılan saç ekimi, görsel olarak belirgin bir “bebek saçı” görünümü yaratıyordu. Modern FUE yönteminde ise 1 ila 4 adet saç foliküler ünitesi doğal açılarla ekilir; doğru yapıldığında sonuç fark edilmez. Saç ekimi artık hiçbir yerde uygulanmamaktadır. Mevcut saç ekimleriniz varsa, eski saç ekimi greftlerinin FUE yöntemiyle alınması ve DHI yöntemiyle yeniden ekilmesiyle onarım mümkündür.
