The FUE hair transplant technique has become a staple in the industry, but with the latest technology like the V-shaped sapphire blades instead of the traditional steel ones, it has become even more effective in treating hair loss.
You can now expect less tissue damage, which means quicker recovery, incredible success rates, and natural-looking results.
In the classic FUE method, the surgeon uses tools with steel blades to make incisions, which are not as sharp or durable as the sapphire blades.
With sapphire blades, the channels made in the scalp are finer and cause less trauma to the tissue, which helps the area heal faster. However, the smaller incisions also allow the surgeon to add more grafts to an area, giving a denser, more defined, and uniform look.
This hair transplantation technique is particularly useful for people with more severe hair loss, where there is no existing hair to blend in with the transplanted hair and make it look fuller.
Getting hair transplant procedures in Turkey is an efficient process that starts with your initial email or phone call and covers pre-op instructions, the surgery itself, and aftercare. Here is a step-by-step rundown.
During the initial call, the doctors will advise you on the costs, explain the types of FUE procedures and what the package covers, and tell you how to prepare during the two weeks before the scheduled date.
At this stage, you already have an operation scheduled and have a couple of weeks to get ready. Inform the clinic about any chronic illnesses you may have and the medication you are taking and avoid Aspirin and other blood-thinning medicines and foods like Garlic, Ginseng, and Ginger. The last few days before the surgery, refrain from alcohol, smoking, and strenuous physical activity, and be sure to get plenty of rest and sleep the day before.
Wear a buttoned shirt to avoid damaging the grafts by pulling clothes over your head, and make sure that everything fits comfortably, as the surgery will take several hours. When you arrive, the doctor will go over a few more details and run some tests, and you will be given local anesthesia, so there will be no pain or discomfort to worry about.
The donor area , usually the back of the head, will be shaved along with the recipient area, though there are no shave procedures available for less severe hair loss and for women. The surgeon will then remove grafts one by one, placing them in a Petri dish with an active plasma solution and refrigerating them until it is time for implantation. Afterward, they will use a tool with spear-tipped sapphire blades characteristic of this hair transplantation method to make a large number of microscopic cuts in the recipient area, usually between 3000 and 5000, and insert the hair follicles . When it is over, you will remain at the clinic for several more hours to ensure that there are no complications and the doctor will advise you on the aftercare routine and give you the products and medication you will need to use.
Surgeons at Asli Tarcan will thoroughly examine your scalp and overall health during the free consultations so you’ll know whether you’re eligible for the surgery.
The swelling and painful sensation will slowly disappear over the first two weeks, and the scabs that form will fall off on their own within the first month.
There is a lot of shedding from the first through to the third month, but that is normal with these hair transplant operations, and it simply makes room for new hair growth.
Around 6 to 8 months in, 50% to 60% of the permanent hairs in the area will grow out and slowly become thicker and darker to match the color of the surrounding strands. Within a year or a little over a year, you will see the final results.
After hair transplant surgeries, there will be an initial period of a few weeks where you will need to use a very mild shampoo, avoid direct sunlight and wear hats, but after the first 6 to 8 months, when the new hair grows out, you won’t need to be as careful.
You will also be prescribed certain medications, which you should keep using as instructed, and you should generally avoid anything that involves intense hair pulling, like tight buns or some styling methods.
For the best long-term natural looking results, you should have a diet with plenty of different fruits, vegetables, and foods rich in zinc, iron, and biotin.
You may also use multivitamins if you don’t have much variety in your diet. A few other big points are to reduce stress, avoid cigarettes if possible, and engage in some exercise on a weekly basis to improve blood flow, but avoid wearing tight helmets or contact sports where your hair may be pulled inadvertently.
With a visit to the Asli Tarcan clinic, you will get VIP treatment and a Sapphire FUE procedure done by a reputable hair transplant specialist with the latest equipment, all for $2,500.
