Hair transplantation is a medical procedure aimed at restoring hair in areas affected by baldness or hair loss. Turkey is a popular destination for this procedure due to the high quality of medical services and the lower cost compared to many other countries. The main techniques used in hair transplantation are:
- FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): This technique involves extracting individual hair follicles from donor areas (usually the back of the head) and transplanting them into the areas of hair loss. FUE is less invasive and leaves minimal scarring.
- FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation): This technique involves removing a small strip of skin from the donor area, then dissecting it to harvest hair follicles, which are then transplanted. It leaves a linear scar but can provide a larger number of grafts in one session.
- DHI (Direct Hair Implantation): Similar to FUE, but the hair follicles are implanted directly into the scalp without the need for pre-made incisions. A special tool called the Choi pen is used to implant the follicles.
- ARTAS Robotic Technique: This method uses artificial intelligence to enhance the precision of the hair transplantation process, with a robotic system that assists in harvesting and implanting hair follicles.
