Many tourists from different countries are flocking to Turkey for hair transplants as hair transplants in Turkey have increasingly become popular.

Most of the Patients are facilitated by Medical Tourism companies. One of which is Yapita Health, an Indian company that promotes hair transplants in Turkey in different countries. Yapita Health guides the patient before beginning the journey to finally getting the treatment and returning to their home country. In this blog, we will explore the types of hair transplants in Turkey, the cost, and how Yapita Health can help you. 

Types Of Hair Transplant in Turkey facilitated by Yapita Health

The success of a hair transplant in Turkey largely depends on the technique used. Each method has its pros and cons. Here are some of the common types of hair transplants in Turkey - 

1. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
FUE is one of the most popular techniques of hair transplants adopted by many hair clinics in Turkey. This is a minimally invasive technique that involves removing individual hair follicles from the donor area and then transplanting them into the recipient area. The donor area is usually the back side of the head but can also be a different part of the head as well.

The hair follicles are prepared for transplantation and implanted into the recipient area after numbing the area using local anesthesia. The procedure is a bit time-consuming, depending on the number of follicles transplanted.

Pros of FUE

• The follicles are extracted individually so this technique doesn’t leave a scar.
• The recovery time is extremely short.
• It is good for patients with extensive hair loss since many follicles can be transplanted in a single session.
• The procedure produces a natural-looking result.

Cons of FUE

• Since each follicle has to be extracted individually, the process can be time-consuming. 
• The cost is based on the number of grafts, so it can be high for patients with extensive hair loss.

2. Sapphire FUE
Sapphire FUE is similar to the FUE technique which uses a sapphire blade instead of a steel blade to make incisions in the recipient area. The use of a sapphire blade makes the healing time shorter than usual.

Pros Of Sapphire FUE

• The precision of Sapphire blades is sharper than steel blades.
• Since the precision of placements of the grafts is higher in Sapphire FUE, it produces a more natural-looking result than the traditional FUE technique.
• The healing time is shorter with Sapphire FUE.

Cons Of Sapphire FUE

• Sapphire blades are more expensive than steel blades, hence making the procedure expensive.
• Only very few top hair transplant clinics in Turkey offer Sapphire FUE, so availability might be a challenge.

3. Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)
DHI or Direct Hair Implantation has increasingly become popular in many top hair transplant clinics in Turkey. DHI does not involve incisions or stitches, it requires the doctor to extract hair follicles directly from the donor area and then implant them in the recipient area. Some of the best clinics also offer Sapphire DHI which is a variation of the DHI technique that uses a sapphire blade to create the implantation channels.

Pros Of DHI

• Choi pen, a specialized tool used the surgeons to control each implanted hair's depth, angle, and direction, making it a more precise procedure.
• Faster healing time.
• There is a reduced risk of scarring. 

Cons Of DHI

• The procedure can be done only by skilled doctors or professionals.
• It is much more time-consuming.
• It is not suitable for patients requiring a large number of grafts.

4. Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
FUT involves removing a strip of scalp from the donor area, from which individual hair follicles are extracted and transplanted into the recipient area. 

Pros Of FUT

• Suitable for patients with extensive hair loss as it allows for transplanting many follicles in a single session. 
• Since the follicles are extracted from a strip of scalp and not individually, the process requires a smaller donor area.

Cons Of FUT

• The process leaves a linear scar in the donor area.
• The procedure is much more painful and requires more prolonged healing than FUE.

5. Stem Cell Hair Transplant
Stem cell hair transplants use the body’s own stem cells also known as adipose tissue to help facilitate the growth of new healthy hairs.

Pros Of Stem Cell Hair Transplant

• Stem cells through their regenerative power, can awaken dormant hair follicles and encourage the growth of new, healthy hair. 
• Stem cell therapy creates an optimal environment for natural and sustainable hair growth.

Cons Of Stem Cell Hair Transplant

• This technique is still under study.
• It is much more expensive than other methods.
