Which Hair Transplant Techniques Are Used?

Every hair transplant requires a separate, meticulous plan for each patient. Given the different types of hair loss and the characteristics of each donor area, applying the same technique to every patient would not give healthy results. That is why it is so important to choose the right technique.

At our clinic, we use the methods needed to ensure the success of our services and open the door to flawless hair transplant results. To find out which techniques could work for you, take a look at the options below.

Hair Transplant with the FUT Technique

FUT was very widely used in the past. With this technique, hair follicles are harvested by cutting a strip from the hair-bearing area. Because it leaves a scar on the scalp and is now considered outdated, FUT is rarely preferred. With its long and difficult recovery, this technique is hardly used today.

Hair Transplant with the FUE Technique

FUE is one of the most widely used hair transplant techniques. In this method, the transplant is carried out with great precision and the follicles are harvested one by one, which makes recovery quite fast. FUE is the technique of choice for achieving full, natural-looking hair.

In an FUE hair transplant, the maximum number of follicles your donor area allows is harvested in a single session. Because follicles are harvested one by one, a single session can take 6–8 hours, depending on the number of grafts to be implanted.

Hair Transplant with the DHI Technique

DHI, the most advanced option in hair transplantation, is considered the technique with the fewest incisions. This significantly shortens the procedure time and helps the hair grow back more healthily. Follicles harvested with special-tipped needles are carefully placed into thinning or hairless areas, creating a natural, high-quality result.

DHI is known as an unshaven technique — your hair does not even need to be shortened. That is why it is such a popular choice among patients.

Which Is the Best Hair Transplant Technique?

Anyone considering a hair transplant naturally wants to choose the best technique and benefit from high-quality options. However, it is not really accurate to rank techniques as the best or worst. The right choice depends on the condition of your hair and your expectations.

And whatever technique is used, remember this: the skill and experience of the specialists performing the procedure matter far more than the technique itself.

How Should You Decide Which Technique to Use?

When you decide to have a hair transplant, choosing the technique is not up to you alone. The condition of your hair and your specialist’s assessment are crucial in the planning process. After the necessary consultations with your hair transplant specialist, you will choose the most suitable option among those offered to you. The technique should therefore always be a joint decision between you and your specialist.
Patients who believe they have chosen the best technique based solely on their own research may end up with unwanted results, because the extent and nature of hair loss differ from person to person. Making a clear decision after the initial examinations is much healthier. Talk to your hair transplant specialist about the ideal solution for you and achieve high-quality results!
