Hair transplant in Istanbul with German-speaking support — explained factually: methods, process, limits and realistic expectations.
Three common procedures with typical duration and healing time. Which one may be considered in your case is decided by the clinic's doctor after the examination.
The most widely used method
Direct implantation with an implanter pen
FUE variant with sapphire blades
Schematic animations: first an orientation on the head, then a cross-section of the skin with the instruments. Each film ends with a comparison of the three procedures.
Extraction is the same in all three procedures. The difference lies in how the channels are opened and the grafts placed.
| Extractionthe same for all | Opening channels | Placement | |
|---|---|---|---|
| FUE | Hollow needle | Steel blade | Forceps |
| Sapphire FUE | Hollow needle | Sapphire blade | Forceps |
| DHI | Hollow needle | Implanter pen: channel and placement in one step | |
