The individual follicular unit grafts are harvested one by one using a special small micro-motor punch of 0.6 mm in size. Each follicular unit graft is placed into the open channels by the doctor using super fine sapphire needles (0.5 mm). This is the Sapphire-Perkutan FUE Technique which is used in our clinics in Türkiye whereby the grafts are placed in open circular holes by real super fine sapphire needles and respecting the natural inclination of the hair growth. They are placed in a natural way showing no trace of grafting on the scalp in the bald areas. There will be no scarring in the donor and recipient areas. The recovery time is twice as fast with this hair transplant technique in Türkiye.the Sapphire-Perkutan FUE Technique offers a more natural appearance due to the precision of the implantation angles and due to a better density. An individual should have 40 to 45 hairs in one square centimetre in order to have a normal appearance. Another factor as important as density is the precision of the grafting angle. Each hair has its own angle of inclination. These angles must be taken into account and respected. Only the Sapphire-Perkutan FUE technique can achieve this density and precision in the natural inclination of the hair. This technique offers the most natural look through density and precise angles.
The grafts, once implanted in the recipient ducts, will grow into healthy hair. On average 3500 to 4000 grafts are transplanted per patient. There is no post-operative risk of scarring or suturing. The success of hair transplants in Türkiye depends on good graft density in the transplant areas. Many hair transplant specialists in Türkiye prefer the Sapphire-Perkutan FUE Technique in order to save time. With this technique, it is possible to harvest and implant the largest amount of grafts possible in one session. In terms of patient comfort, the Sapphire-Perkutan FUE Technique is a non-surgical, scarless and painless method for patients. The Sapphire-Perkutan Technique is best suited for large areas of baldness where a large number of grafts need to be implanted in one session (up to 6,000 depending on the density of your donor area). The CHOI Micrograft is particularly suitable for men or women suffering from moderate baldness (balding gulfs, the top of the head or vertex with low density....) and wishing to recover satisfactory hair density without incisions, without visible scars and with a discreet post-operative result from the first days.
Hair transplantation in Türkiye using the CHOI injector is a latest generation technique which consists of injecting the follicles, hair by hair, without prior incision thanks to the implant pen. This non-invasive technique allows for perfect and natural aesthetic results. Each implant is precisely positioned on the scalp to respect the natural direction of growth (depth, angle and orientation of the hair follicle) and the harmonious implantation of the hair. After manual removal of the grafts (or follicular units, which contain one to three hairs) from the donor area, the hair units are re-implanted into the bald areas. The special feature of this technique is that the grafts are re-implanted using the CHOI Implanter, an injector pen consisting of a needle with a bevelled end and a lateral groove for the insertion of the hair follicle. The hair follicle is retrieved by the needle of the CHOI Implanter and is then gently implanted (by propulsion) in the bald area. Without surgery, without incision, without swelling and without pain, the CHOI technique has the advantage of being painless and without social eviction. The pre-operative consultation with the doctor will allow to define the patient's expectations according to the stage of alopecia and the density of hair in the donor area. The choice of the technique used for the implantation of the grafts will be made between the micro hair transplant technique in Türkiye CHOI or using the hair transplant technique in Türkiye Saphir-Perkutan.
The intervention takes place as follows:
To avoid pain for the patient, both the donor area and the implantation area are locally anaesthetised. The anaesthetic drug is administered under the surface of the skin by a specially designed instrument to avoid the pain of anaesthesia. Numbness is achieved 3 to 5 minutes after application. During the operation, the pain is imperceptible and the use of painkillers is often unnecessary after the operation.
The procedure is applied once the tissue analysis is done by the doctors. To take each graft, one by one from the back donor area of the scalp, the FUE micro-motors are used carefully to determine the number of follicles. These follicles are counted and placed in cell preserving water. The procedure continues with a digital photo of the number of follicles removed from the patient’s donor area and the photo is stored in the patient’s medical record. In this way, the patient receives information about the entire procedure and the amount of hair transplanted.
Once all the grafts are taken, tiny three-dimensional channels are opened and made with real sapphire needles (not with a scalpel used in the classic technique) on the surface of the skin to make room for the implantation of the hair without any possibility of moving. The preparation of the grafts is done according to a special procedure, the most rooted grafts (3 to 4 hairs) are transplanted at the back, while the less rooted grafts (1 to 2 hairs) are put at the front of the implantation area.
The first post-transplant lavage is performed between 24 and 48 hours and is one of the most important steps in the procedure. It is performed at the clinic. Subsequent washings should be done at home in the same way. It is not necessary for patients to stay at the clinic. The donor area is covered with a special silicone fluid. A specially designed cap covers the donor area and the implanted area until the patient arrives at their hotel.
For patients whose hair loss condition cannot be treated with a single session, a second procedure can be planned. If this is the case, the next implantation should be scheduled after eight months, because this is the time needed for the entire hair transplantation process to be effective.
