DHI & FUE Hair Transplant in Istanbul – What You Need to Know

Are you considering a hair transplant in Turkey? Wondering whether DHI or FUE is the right technique for you? You're in the right place. Istanbul has become a world-leading destination for hair restoration — combining expert care, cutting-edge technology, and affordable treatment packages.

In this post, we explain the difference between DHI and FUE, the process, what results to expect, and how to get a free consultation from our medical team.

---

What Is the FUE Technique?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area (usually the back of the head) and implanting them into the balding zones after creating micro-channels.

No linear scars
Ideal for covering large areas
Fast recovery
High success rate
Suitable for men & women

---

🖊 What Is the DHI Technique?
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) uses a special Choi implanter pen to place hair follicles directly into the scalp without first opening channels.

No incisions or stitches
Allows for unshaven hair transplant
Greater precision in hairline design
Faster healing & natural density
Less trauma to the skin

---

DHI vs FUE – Key Differences

• FUE: Extract → Open Channels → Implant
• DHI: Extract → Direct Implantation (No channel needed)
• FUE is great for covering large areas
• DHI is ideal for detailed, dense, front-line designs
• DHI generally costs more and takes longer per session

Am I a Good Candidate for Hair Transplant?

You may be suitable for DHI or FUE hair transplant if:

✔ You have visible thinning or balding areas
✔ Your donor area (usually back of head) has sufficient healthy hair
✔ You're in good general health and over age 20
✔ You're realistic about results — gradual and natural
✔ Your hair loss is stable (not progressing rapidly)

Still unsure? Share photos privately with our team or ask a question here.

When Is the Best Time for a Hair Transplant?

The best time is when:

- You’ve stabilized hair loss with or without medication (e.g., finasteride or minoxidil)
- You have planned time for initial recovery (3–7 days)
- You’re mentally ready for the 6–12 month waiting period for full results
- You’re in a season with moderate weather (spring/autumn often preferred)

---

Post-Transplant Care Tips for Best Results

- Do not touch, scratch, or rub the implanted area
- Sleep with your head elevated the first 3 nights
- Wash only as instructed by your doctor
- Avoid sun exposure and heavy sweating for 10–15 days
- Be patient — hair shedding after transplant is normal and temporary

---

How Many Grafts Do I Need?

Here’s a rough guide:

• Mild recession: 1,000–1,500 grafts
• Crown area: 1,500–2,000 grafts
• Full front to crown: 2,500–4,000+ grafts
• Beard or eyebrow transplant: 300–500 grafts

Why Does Hair Loss Happen?

Understanding the cause of your hair loss helps determine the most effective solution. Common causes include:

• Genetics (Androgenetic Alopecia): The most common type in men and women
• Hormonal Changes: Thyroid issues, pregnancy, menopause
• Stress & Lifestyle: Poor nutrition, lack of sleep, trauma
• Medications: Certain drugs for blood pressure, depression, cancer
• Autoimmune Conditions: Alopecia areata, lupus

An accurate diagnosis by a specialist is essential before treatment.

---

What Happens If You Delay a Hair Transplant?

Waiting too long to address hair loss can result in:

Worsening of bald areas
Reduced donor hair availability
Less natural-looking results later
Psychological stress or lowered self-confidence
Higher graft count (and cost) in future sessions

Early action = better results with fewer grafts and faster recovery.
