Comparing Traditional and Modern Hair Transplant Techniques

Traditional and modern hair transplantation techniques attract attention with different advantages and approaches for people with hair loss problems. With developing technology and surgical methods, significant advances have been made in the field of hair transplantation. Traditional methods are commonly known as FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and use a strip method to harvest hair grafts. On the other hand, modern approaches stand out, especially with FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), in which individual hair follicles are collected and a minimally invasive process is offered. The differences between these two approaches help patients better understand their preferences and needs while revealing a wide range of options for hair transplantation. Let’s learn traditional and modern techniques in hair transplantation together.

What are the Traditional Hair Transplantation Methods?

Although hair transplantation has undergone many evolutions over time, traditional methods are still among the preferred options in some cases. One of these methods is FUT or Follicular Unit Transplantation. This traditional technique involves removing a strip of tissue from the back of the head to harvest hair grafts. Then, the hair follicles on this strip are separated and transplanted to the area to be transplanted. The FUT method generally allows for larger graft amounts, but may leave a linear stitch scar after the surgical procedure.

What is FUT Hair Transplantation Method?

FUT is one of the traditional hair transplantation methods and is also known as the “Strip Method”. In this method, the surgeon removes a strip of tissue from the back of the head. This removed strip contains hair follicles. Then, these hair grafts are separated under a microscope and placed in the area to be transplanted. FUT can often be an effective method for harvesting larger hair grafts, but it can leave stitch marks after the surgery. Therefore, the potential for creating stitch marks should be taken into consideration when choosing FUT.

What are Modern Hair Transplantation Methods?

What is FUE Hair Transplantation Method?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is one of the modern hair transplantation techniques and represents a method in which hair follicles are taken one by one and transplanted to sparse or hairless areas. The FUE procedure generally involves meticulously removing hair follicles from the nape or other body parts with microsurgical instruments and then placing them in the balding areas.

FUE hair transplantation offers a number of advantages:

It leaves no stitches and creates minimal scarring.
Natural and aesthetic looking hair results are achieved.
It provides minimal pain and a fast recovery process.
It produces aesthetic results that are compatible with short haircuts.
In the FUE technique, hair follicles can be taken from different parts of the body.
For these reasons, the FUE hair transplant method has become increasingly popular because it offers patients a minimally invasive experience and natural-looking results.

What is DHI Hair Transplantation Method?

DHI is a modern method used in hair transplantation. In this technique, hair follicles are collected using “choi”, special pens or tips, and transplanted directly to bald or sparse areas in the same session. Similar to the traditional FUE method, hair follicles are removed and placed individually, but in the DHI method, this process is completed in the same session.

Advantages:

The DHI method shortens the operation time and accelerates the process by removing and placing hair follicles in the same session.
Since hair follicles are transplanted directly and in a controlled manner, the results can offer a natural and aesthetic appearance.
DHI is a minimally invasive technique and reduces the risk of scarring on the skin, so minimal damage can occur in the removed and transplanted areas.
Direct root placement can increase the likelihood of hair follicles being successful and increase the chances of more follicles surviving.
It is suitable for patients with short hair and can help achieve a natural look.

What is Robotic Hair Transplantation?

Robotic hair transplantation is a hair transplantation method performed through computer-controlled robots. These robots precisely remove hair follicles and place them in designated areas. Robotic systems have been developed and used to provide higher precision and accuracy in hair transplantation.

Advantages

Robots precisely remove and place hair follicles using the FUE technique.
Robotic systems can increase the accuracy of the operation and reduce the time of surgical intervention.
Since robotic hair transplantation is minimally invasive, the risk of scarring is low and the recovery process is faster.

What is Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation Method?

Sapphire FUE is a FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique in which special sapphire-tipped instruments are used to extract and transplant hair follicles. The process of removing hair follicles is carried out in a more precise and controlled manner thanks to sapphire tips. In this method, specially designed sapphire-tipped tools are used to remove and place hair follicles. Sapphire tips contribute to smaller incisions and a faster healing process.

What is the Unshaved Hair Transplantation Method?

Unshaven hair transplantation is a method performed without the need to shave the patient’s hair during the process of removing and transplanting hair follicles. In this method, the hair in the donor area is kept long and the transplantation is performed. In this way, the patient can continue his daily life without any visible shaving marks after the operation.

What is the Sedation Hair Transplantation Method?

Sedation hair transplantation is a method used to ensure that the patient undergoes the operation comfortably. Sedation puts the patient in a sleepy state and prevents them from feeling pain or stress. This method may be preferred to increase comfort, especially in long-lasting operations such as hair transplantation.

What is the Stem Cell Hair Transplantation Method?

Stem cell hair transplantation is a method that uses stem cells as well as hair follicles. In this technique, the aim is to encourage stem cells to grow healthy by supporting hair follicles. Stem cell hair transplantation has the potential to provide faster recovery and better quality results.

Which Hair Transplantation Method is Best? Which Hair Transplantation Method is Suitable for You?

Which hair transplantation method is best depends on a number of factors such as the person’s hair structure, degree of hair loss, skin characteristics, expectations and health status. Therefore, the best hair transplantation method is determined according to individual preferences, needs and the evaluation of the specialist doctor.

Which Hair Transplantation Method is Best for Men?

The majority of men have male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia (90%). This makes them suitable candidates for hair transplantation. Hair loss usually occurs on the top and front of the head. Hair follicles in these areas are genetically affected by the DHT hormone. The most suitable hair follicle source for hair transplantation is the donor areas on the sides and back of the head because these areas are not affected by DHT and the hair follicles are intact. When choosing the most suitable hair transplantation method for men, the individual’s hair structure, degree of hair loss, hairline, scalp characteristics, age, general health status and personal preferences should be taken into consideration. In general, the two main hair transplantation methods that are frequently used and effective for men are FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) methods.

Which Hair Transplant Method is Best for Women?

Hair transplantation for women is different compared to men because hair loss is usually diffuse and more common in women. Hair restoration in women is not about repairing the hairline or repairing bald areas, but about restoring hair volume. The most suitable hair transplantation methods for women are generally techniques such as FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation).

Factors to consider when evaluating hair transplant options for women include:

Cause and degree of hair loss,
Strength and suitability of the donor area,
Hair type, color and structure,
Expectations and aesthetic goals.
Since each patient is different, the most appropriate option should be determined in consultation with a specialist hair physician.
