Hair transplantation has become one of the most popular and widespread cosmetic procedures among both men and women alike in 2023. This wide spread is due to the development of hair transplantation techniques and scientific approaches that have reduced risks and complications. When anyone suffering from hair loss or baldness decides to undergo an operation to restore their lost hair, the location of the operation will be an important priority. The hair transplant center or clinic is not the first trend, but also the country in which you decide to perform the procedure will be of great importance. There is no doubt that Turkey is the most important destination for hair transplantation in the world these days, due to its developments and governmental and medical support for these clinics. The cost of hair transplantation in Turkey is considered the most important thing that attracts visitors to the country, as it offers distinguished prices, superior service, and results that fulfill the aspirations of all customers of their various orientations. To find out the cost of hair transplantation in Turkey 2023 and the prices of the most important and famous techniques, as well as to get a general idea about the best hair transplantation technique, you can continue reading this comprehensive guide and make the appropriate decision later.

The best hair transplant techniques
As you may already know, a hair transplant is a surgical procedure that moves hair follicles from a part of your scalp called the donor site to the balding area called the recipient site. This is done with the help of a tool such as a scalpel or an auger. The hair strands removed from the donor are transplanted into small holes in the balding area of the scalp called incubator channels. Nowadays, doctors use different techniques for this operation, each of which has its own set of pros and cons.

Both methods differ mainly in the way hair follicles are extracted from the donor area only. As for the second part, which is concerned with how to implant these follicles in the receiving sites, they do not differ in the way they are implemented at all. However, there are some techniques that have been devised to improve the quality of implantation of grafts in both techniques, but this development did not have an impact on the method of extracting grafts from the donor area as it is in each technique.

The most used techniques in the world of hair transplantation these days are:

Strip hair transplantation technique
FUE hair transplantation technique
Nano FUE micro-extraction technology
Ambassador hair transplant technique
Direct hair transplantation with Choi pens
Robotic hair transplant
Stem cell hair transplant

  Strip hair transplant
  It is a traditional surgical technique of hair transplantation, which is still frequently used, and involves cutting a strip from the back and sides of the scalp loaded with hair. During this procedure, follicular units are dissected from a strip of tissue and then transplanted into the recipient area. This type of hair transplantation is considered to have somewhat significant surgical implications as it involves stitches and can be painful and leave scars at the donor site.

  FUE hair transplantation
  It is a more advanced method than hair transplantation, which involves randomly extracting individual follicular hair units from the selected donor area and implanting them in the recipient site. It is thus a shift from the way hair transplants were performed earlier. The doctor uses a precise metal tool with a circular head to wrap around the hair follicle and then extract it from its position along with some simple tissue that surrounds it. However, in general, this technique is characterized by the presence of scars or wounds resulting from this operation, and the recovery time after that is much less than other techniques.

   

   

  FUE hair transplantation is the preferred method in the event that the patient seeks a natural appearance and does not want to leave the hair of the donor area long, which is a condition in hair transplantation.

  slide due to the large scar it leaves. FUE hair transplantation is suitable for the majority of patients’ cases, and it is distinguished by the fact that it gives a much lower cost than the techniques developed from this technique, and it has good results and is superior to strip hair transplantation in terms of results, natural appearance, and the absence of scars.

  There are chances of nerve damage and infection due to the large surgical incision and stitches. There are no stitches or surgical sutures of any kind.
  There is a permanent scar in the donor area that appears if the hair is cut short. There are no clear scars other than some minor wounds that disappear within the first week.
  Body hair cannot be used for this procedure Body hair can be used

  The pain is greater and the discomfort lasts for long periods. There is a very mild pain that does not last for a long time and disappears within the first week
  Comparison between FUE and FUE hair transplantation
  Nano FUE technique
  Our hair consists of groups of hair roots that contain 1-5 follicles. These groups are referred to as follicular units, and for a person with healthy hair the hair roots at the front are usually in one or two groups. Groups of three follicles are seen towards the back, while in root hair groups of three, four, and five follicles are more common. In cases of hair loss that occur in the frontal region, the follicular units containing single and double roots are lost. As hair loss progresses towards the back, we lose root hair groups two and three. For a hair transplant that looks natural, it is necessary to transplant it as the missing hair is distributed. For this reason, grafts, which are the transplanted tissues that contain hair roots, should not contain three, four or five hair roots, but one or two, and to a lesser extent three roots.

  For dense and natural hair transplantation, single grafts are used on the frontal hairline. Behind this line of the anterior region, single and double grafts are used. In order for progress to be made towards the back, double and triple follicle transplantation must be performed.

  All doctors who use the pick-up method collect grafts more or less the same way. Healthy follicular units on the back of the scalp and lateral areas of the head are targeted. The target units are removed one by one without causing damage using thin, hollow needles of 0.6-0.8 mm in diameter attached to a small motor. Thanks to the small size grafts collected from fine needles, hair transplants with the desired natural density can be performed.

  However, there is some difference in implanting the collected grafts in the areas that suffer from hair loss. In order to place the grafts, some doctors make very small incisions with a sharp instrument and insert the grafts into these incisions by holding them with fine instruments. Others make holes using tools like a needle and place grafts in these holes. Few doctors use specialized pens for implants, and using pens is a job that requires a lot of experience. There is no need to make an incision or open a hole before implantation. The grafts are placed into the implant’s inner needle and pressed directly against the skin. The pen opens the incision and places the grafts at the same time and because it is a difficult and expensive method, it is not widely used.

  In the micro-picking technique, hair roots are usually taken from the back of the head and the sides of the head. However, hair roots can be collected from any part of the body if necessary. However, a dense, normal transplant is not likely to be done with hair taken from areas other than the scalp. Due to the possibility of achieving a very natural appearance using the exact technique, the results are very successful not only in hair transplantation, but also in beard, mustache, eyebrows and eyelashes transplants, and in more striking places such as wound and burn scars.

  Hair Transplant (sapphire transplant)

  

  As everyone knows, sapphire is one of the most famous stones and is known for its hardness, durability and luster. There is a certain form of this stone, which is in the form of a sapphire or sapphire stone, as the Arabs call it, and it is largely blue sapphire, which has wonderful properties in slitting the scalp. With the latest advanced technology of FUE hair transplantation with sapphire stone blades, which is the latest and most common in hair transplantation techniques, which guarantees natural results and achieves its success a step forward through ideal use and achieving very great success in the process.

  Sapphire, which is an acronym for which is performed using distinctive sapphire-like blades in the process by a doctor who specializes in this type of specialized surgical method. After the person receives anesthesia without pain, the individual hair follicles are extracted successively from the donor area using a micro motor with a size of 0.6 – 0.7 – 0.8 mm. With this method, the extracted follicles must be transplanted into the incision area that was created before.

  These channels have a great influence on the density, angle and direction of hair growth which are the determining factors for a natural appearance. Perhaps the reason behind this is that opening the channels is the most important process in successful hair transplantation. This is why a three-bladed ambassador would be a good choice. The channels are opened very well with the sapphire blades during the hair transplantation process, and as a result the production of the transplanted hair follicles is very high. Because of the small, thin opening of the sapphire blades, the grafts are less in contact with the outside. Using the Sapphire hair transplantation technique, the healing of the transplanted hair area is faster.

  Hair transplantation with the new Sapphire technique is more than just a better and faster recovery process, because it is a unique method that guarantees a great avoidance of infection. Sapphire blades allow channel opening for a much higher density of hair and a targeted natural growth direction. This is possible because the drainage points left by the sapphire blades are perfectly proportional to the grafts used. Thus, hair can be transplanted at the desired angle of 40-45 degrees. Sapphire needles are available in different sizes from 0.6 to 1.5 mm. The doctors at Turki Wiz specialize in hair transplantation using the sapphire technique. Based on the hair structure, density and extent of its distribution, the appropriate needle size is chosen to open the channels.

  Direct hair transplantation with Choi pens
  Specialized implant pens are a special device that allows easy and simple hair transplantation thanks to its pencil-shaped structure that allows hair and beard transplants as well as body and scalp hair transplantation. Hair transplantation with Choi pens allows direct hair transplantation in a simple hair transplant and in cases of correcting previous operations, in addition to being a special technique for these delicate operations.

  Choi pen technique is expressed as hair transplant using direct method or hair transplant using pen technique method. The Choi pen method allows hair to be transplanted in the desired direction and the recovery is very fast while the bleeding is less. Choi pen technique usually helps in performing comfortable eyebrow transplantation and mustache and beard intensification. The extraction technique is the most appropriate technique for removing hair follicles. The hair follicles are removed from the donor site with a pen and cooled with the help of a special solution. The hair follicles and tissue cells that are taken into a Choi pen are then put together.

  The Choi Pen is for single use and a new Choi device is used for each patient. Hair removal is the second step in hair transplantation. In Choi pen technique healthy hair follicles are placed on the area where they will be the first transplant without the need for canals. This technique causes less irritation in the treated area compared to traditional hair transplantation. It allows natural planting in the desired direction and it is possible to reach the natural landscape by using the preferred pen method for hair transplantation, eyebrow transplantation and unshaven hair transplantation.

  The number of hair transplantation centers that use Choi pens in Turkey are few, but the experience should be applied by experienced doctors such as the hair transplantation experts at the Turkish Way Center. Advantages of direct hair transplantation with Choi pens:

  The patient will not undergo traditional surgery with many incisions.
  There is no pain during the operation and very little afterward.
  This technique provided an opportunity for people who suffered from weak hair follicles in the donor areas.
  After the operation, the person can lead a normal life immediately after the transplantation.
  The recovery period is very short compared to other techniques.
  The cost of hair transplantation with Choi pens is reasonable and inexpensive.
  This technique is not related to the skin condition of the patient, it is suitable for everyone.
  The success rate of this technique is high.
  Technology suitable for all cases of baldness and hair loss.
  The hair that grows after the procedure is treated normally.
  In this technique, there is no need to cut the hair.
  Robotic hair transplant
  Modern hair transplantation systems including the ARTAS robotic hair transplantation present patients with several limitations. The robotic technology is only licensed to extract follicles in dark-haired and straight-haired patients. The original drawback lies in the fact that men with straight, red or gray hair must first dye their hair to allow the robot to work properly.

  However, it is known that even dark-haired people have different shades of hair color and a weaker hair structure. This is why it is easy to make mistakes and damage healthy grafts during the robotic hair transplantation process. What’s more, robotic hair transplantation is problematic in patients with curly hair, so it is recommended to perform manual hair transplantation instead of using a robot.

  There are many unsound reports that the robot operates on its own without the help of a doctor and medical personnel. However, robotic hair transplantation is only the surgeon-assisted technology where the robot extracts the follicle
