Modern hair transplant techniques are designed to provide natural, long-lasting results with minimal downtime. The most commonly used methods are FUE, DHI, and Sapphire FUE, each offering distinct advantages depending on the patient’s needs.
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is ideal for covering larger areas with a cost-effective approach and minimal scarring.
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) allows direct implantation with high precision, making it suitable for dense and detailed hairline work.
Sapphire FUE uses sapphire blades to create finer incisions, resulting in faster healing, less trauma, and highly natural outcomes.
The best technique is determined through medical consultation, based on hair loss level, donor area quality, and aesthetic expectations.
FUT vs FUE
Pain Comparison: FUT vs FUE
Types of FUE:
Type | Pros | Cons | Cost (EUR) | ||
Manuel FUE | High precision | Longer procedure | 1.800 - 2.500 | ||
Motorized FUE | Faster extraction | Slightly more transection | 1.500 - 2.000 | ||
Robotic FUE | Automated accuracy | Limited hairline design | 2.500 - 3.500 | ||
Sapphire FUE | Fine incisions, faster healing | Higher cost | 2.000 - 3.000 | ||
DHI(Direct İmplantation) | Precise implantation, reduced graft handling | Cost requires expertise | 2.500 - 3.500 | ||
BHT(Body Hair) | Uses body hair when scalp donor is low | Different texture | 2.500 - 4.000 |
