Performed under local anesthesia, the FUE technique allows for a pain-free and comfortable experience. The surgery typically lasts 6–8 hours.
Procedure Steps:
- Donor Area Preparation: The back of the head is shaved and numbed with local anesthesia.
- Graft Extraction: Hair follicles are individually extracted using a micromotor.
- Channel Opening: Tiny incisions (channels) are created in the recipient area, following the natural direction of hair growth.
- Graft Placement: Extracted grafts are carefully implanted into the opened channels.
Every step is carried out with precision to ensure dense and natural-looking results
Hairline design is the first and most critical step in hair transplantation. At Hair of Istanbul, we design a natural and age-appropriate hairline, based on the patient’s facial structure and donor area capacity. The goal is to achieve a harmonious, aesthetic, and long-term appearance.
(FUE)
One of the most important stages is the correct extraction of grafts. Follicles must be removed with the surrounding tissue, without damaging the skin. This method known as FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) must only be performed by skilled professionals.
Opening
As important as hairline design and graft extraction, channel opening directly influences the final result. Hair naturally grows at certain angles, and our HOI medical team carefully replicates this by opening channels that match the original direction, ensuring a natural and aesthetic finish.
First Night After the Hair Transplant
After surgery, both donor and recipient areas become highly sensitive.
Residual anesthesia fluids in the body make sudden movements or head impacts risky, potentially dislodging grafts and compromising the results.
It is strongly advised to sleep semi-upright using a travel pillow on the first night. This reduces swelling and protects the grafts.
Our team will:
- Share detailed care instructions
- Be available 24/7 for emergencies
Following your doctor’s and consultant’s instructions strictly is key to a successful healing process.
Healing begins immediately after FUE hair transplant. Some redness, swelling, or scabbing may occur in donor and recipient areas but typically resolves in a few days.
- Sleep semi-upright on the first night
- No hair washing for the first 3 days
- Gentle washing from days 4–10
- Avoid sun exposure, sea, and sports for the first month
