FUE Hair Transplantion
The surgical technique “FUE+PRP” (Follicular Unit Extraction + Platelet Rich Plasma) has been successfully employed by the world’s leading surgeons for over a decade. Once the harvesting and implantation zones are determined, the grafts are counted and extracted, primarily from the back of the scalp. This is followed by the alignment and counting of the grafts, the opening of the channels in the receiving area, and the positioning of the grafts according to the desired hair implantation and inclination. The entire procedure typically takes between 6 and 8 hours and is performed using the most advanced technologies.
Located at the back of the skull, the occipital area is the preferred donor area. If needed, the grafts can be extracted from other body areas, like the beard or the chest.

Harvesting of the grafts

Implantation of the grafts
Manual FUE grafts extraction
The FUE manual extraction of hair transplant grafts is a surgical technique that is minimally invasive and causes less damage to the surrounding tissue than the motorized micro punch. The surgeon has better control over the extraction with a manual punch and can better adapt it to the physiological conditions of the scalp. This technique limits the risks of torsion, friction and heating of the follicles and results in less damage to the neighboring grafts. The FUE manual extraction is performed in a lateral slit, unlike the motorized micro punch which must be placed vertically to the scalp for the extraction of the graft.
Sapphire blades
Best FUE incision technique
The Sapphire-FUE uses sapphire blades, instead of classic steel blades during the incision process in the receiving zone. This technical innovation minimizes scabs formation and accelerates the transplantation, by opening smaller implantation canals in the implantation zone. The follicles are individually extracted and transplanted in the canals created by sapphire blades, varying between 0,6 and 0,8 mm in diameter. These receiving canals have a significant influence on the density, inclination and direction of the hair growth, which is decisive for a natural aspect of hair transplantation.
Laser Hair Growth Treatment
Laser hair growth treatment helps stimulate graft regrowth and reduce recovery time after hair transplantation by increasing the amount of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP, the fuel for living cells in the follicle, promotes increased cell activity. This increased cell activity helps to regenerate the hair follicles and encourage new hair growth. The laser treatment also reduces the side effects of hair transplantation, such as swelling and inflammation.
What is the PRP treatment ?
Human blood consists of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Platelets are small cells that contain “growth factors.” In the event of an injury, these growth factors enable tissue repair and healing. PRP hair treatment involves isolating platelets from a blood sample, concentrating them through centrifugation, and re-injecting them into specific areas of the patient’s scalp.
The DHI Hair Transplant Technique
Faster and more effective transplantation
The DHI hair transplant technique is the latest method in hair transplantation. The extraction process is the same as with the FUE method, but the implantation process differs. An implanter pen, sometimes called the Choi pen, is used in the implantation process, which is why it’s also known as the Choi technique. With the DHI hair implanter pen, the extraction of grafts from the harvesting zone and their implantation into the target zone occur simultaneously, allowing the follicles to be implanted without creating incision channels. Each hair follicle is placed in a specific direction, angle, and depth. This technique, combined with a local needleless sedation system, provides the patient with a faster and more comfortable procedure.
Each patient is unique. From diagnosis and hair characteristics (abundance, thickness, colour, implantation) to aesthetic and psychological support and the design of the receiving zones, our teams offer a personalised approach to ensure customer satisfaction.
Women Hair transplantation
While women are less prone to hair loss than men, it is often more traumatic and socially less accepted. The expertise and experience of our teams enable us to provide a tailored solution for all women’s hair types and needs.
Each type of hair is unique, and our transplantation techniques can address every ethnic characteristic. The expertise and experience of our teams enable us to provide a tailored treatment for Afro hair, including for women who are more susceptible to hair loss than Caucasian women.
For most men, a beard and moustache are symbols of virility and fashionable masculine aesthetic attributes. Our teams can cater to all the needs and desires of men who want to enhance their facial hair.
Micropigmentation is a semi-permanent tattoo technique that serves as a non-surgical alternative to hair or hair transplantation. It mimics the appearance of hair follicles.
This treatment for androgenetic alopecia is based on the use of mesenchymal stem cells harvested from the patient’s scalp to reactivate follicular units damaged by androgenetic alopecia.
Frequently Asked Questions
Body Expert helps you better understand
WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AGE FOR A HAIR TRANSPLANT?
There is no age limit to stop hair loss and regain your perfect hair. During adulthood, for both men and women, it is possible to initiate hair transplantation as soon as the first signs of hair loss appear. An assessment of the stage of alopecia, carried out with an expert surgeon, will evaluate and anticipate your needs.
WHY HAVE A HAIR TRANSPLANT?
Hair is part of our identity, and losing it can be traumatic. Having a hair transplant can restore self-esteem and provide a more youthful appearance.
How to finance your hair transplant?
Hair transplantation is not covered by the NHS and is rarely covered by private medical insurance. In Istanbul, Turkey, Body Expert guarantees the best medical treatments at prices up to 80% lower than in the UK.

Hair transplant, step by step
After the consultation with the hair surgeon, the donor and recipient areas are determined based on the patient’s preferences and hair characteristics. Once the PRP treatment has been administered, the grafts are simultaneously extracted and implanted using an electrical micro-punch equipped with sapphire blades or a DHI implanting punch. The procedure typically lasts between 5 and 8 hours, depending on the size of the grafting area. It is generally completed in one day, but can also be done over two days, depending on the extent of the area to be covered.
STEP 1: PRE-OPERATION CONSULTATION
The first step of a hair transplant always begins with a consultation between the patient and their hair surgeon. This allows them to determine the patient’s type of alopecia, present the different hair grafting techniques, and choose the best-suited method. A line is drawn on the patient’s scalp, outlining the area where the hair will grow and matching the type of implantation the client desires.
STEP 2: EXTRACTING FOLLICLES FROM THE DONOR AREA
Regardless of the technique chosen (FUE or DHI), the procedure starts with the extraction of grafts from the donor area, usually at the back of the head. If the follicles are insufficient on the occiput, the surgical team can extract follicles from other parts of the body (beard and/or torso, called BHT or Body Hair Transplant). For women, complete alopecia is very rare; follicles are extracted from the back or sides of the scalp.
STEP 3: PRP TREATMENT
To ensure the best possible grafting results for the implanted follicles, the grafts are treated following PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) procedures. A small amount of blood is drawn from the patient and placed in a laboratory centrifuge to separate plasma and platelets from other blood components. The enriched plasma is then reinjected into the scalp of the recipient area using a micro-needle. This method, systematically used in our clinic, stimulates the growth of the transplanted grafts.
STEP 4: IMPLANTATION OF FOLLICLES ACCORDING TO A PRECISE HAIR DESIGN
The extracted follicles are prepared and maintained following a protocol essential to the graft’s success. Counted and selected under a stereoscopic microscope, then kept at the ideal temperature, they are treated with PRP. During this laboratory procedure, the patient can take a break with a light lunch in a dedicated room to relax and regain strength before the second phase of the operation. Once the grafts are ready for implantation, a local anaesthetic is applied to the recipient area.
After the hair tranplantation
After the operation
Once the operation is finished, the patient will follow the surgeon’s recommendations and take with him appropriate products (lotions, cream, prescribed drugs…) to protect the graft and help their rooting. The patient will avoid bending their head, to avoid blood surge (oedema) that would damage the implanted follicles, particularly fragile ones.
On the first evening, the patient will apply a physiological serum to the grafted zone. Any washing product is forbidden. For the two first nights, it is recommended to sleep in a half-seated position, to avoid any contact with the skull. Sleeping on the back will be possible on the third night, but not on the front before the grafts are healed, for at least 2 weeks. However, the client can get back to their normal activities the next day. In the case of patients coming to Istanbul, Turkey, this postoperative day is used for the journey back home. The bandage, applied after the operation, can be withdrawn after 48 hours.
It is generally recommended that patients wait at least 3 months before resuming any strenuous physical activity following a hair transplant. This allows the grafts time to heal and settle in their new location. It is important to avoid any sports or activities that cause a temperature rise on the head skin, as this can damage the grafts. Yoga and other low-impact exercises can be safely resumed after one week.
How do I take care of my hair after hair transplantation?
During the first weeks, avoid any washing product, gel, lacquer, wax or colouration. An antiseptic will be applied softly on the skin and will be gently rinsed with a mild water at moderate pressure. A successful transplant is also determined by strict care of the hair after the operation. Argan oil, sesame oil or coconut oil can help nourish the scalp and soft shampoos with natural ingredients will be favoured.
Finally, to optimize the graft, alcohol and tobacco must be momentarily stopped, and a healthy diet rich in minerals and poor in fat can offer newly grafted hair a well-oxygenated and nourishing blood influx.
What activities to avoid after hair transplantation?
The patient should avoid any physical and intimate intercourse activity that could cause a blood rush to the head during the first month after the hair transplant. This includes riding motorcycles (as wearing a helmet can be fatal to your newly transplanted grafts), swimming, and sun exposure. Additionally, the patient should avoid any heat source such as a sauna or hammam during the three first months.
