    Hair transplant at Smile Hair Clinic in Turkey

    пересадка волос в Турции

    Smile Hair Clinic uses the most modern hair transplant methods. The clinic’s doctors use the latest technologies, which allows them to achieve excellent aesthetic results.

    Hair transplant using FUE method

    This technique was developed as an alternative to the FUT method, the essence of which was to remove a strip of skin from the back of the head, divide it into grafts and then transplant it. The FUT technique has been associated with a long recovery period. In addition, after the operation, patients were left with a noticeable scar that had to be hidden under their hair.

    FUE is a less invasive transplantation method. During the procedure, the doctor collects individual follicles from the donor area. After this, the doctor opens channels in the bald area and transplants the resulting grafts there. Smile Hair Clinic specialists are experts in FUE hair transplantation. Over the years, they have performed thousands of successful operations, as evidenced by numerous positive reviews from patients.

    Hair transplantation using DHI method

    DHI is an advanced method of surgical hair restoration. During the procedure, the doctor removes follicles from the donor area individually. After this, they are placed in a special implanter called a Choi Pen. From there, the doctor transplants hair into the recipient area. Choi Pen makes it possible to simultaneously open canals and implant grafts. During transplantation, it protects the follicle from all sides, which increases the survival rate of new hair. An additional advantage of this technique is the ability to transplant hair without shaving. This is especially important for patients who are concerned about their appearance after transplantation due to social status or other reasons.

    Sapphire hair transplant

    Doctors at Smile Hair Clinic were among the first in Turkey to use this innovative technology. Its essence lies in the fact that the surgeon opens canals in the bald area using a very sharp sapphire scalpel. Contrary to popular belief, the blade is not made from naturally occurring blue sapphire. It is made from a single crystal of synthetic sapphire. This material is hundreds of times harder than ordinary steel, so sapphire scalpels remain very sharp for a long time. Recovery after sapphire hair transplant is much faster. In addition, with the help of sapphire scalpels, the surgeon can open the canals with greater precision, taking into account the angle of the hair.

    How is hair transplant done at Smile Hair Clinic in Turkey?

    пересадка волос в Турции

    The hair transplant procedure at Smile Hair Clinic is clearly planned and includes several stages.

    Informing the patient about the features of the operation

    The clinic’s doctors talk in detail about how hair transplantation will take place and what to expect from this procedure. At this stage, doctors create realistic expectations for patients from the transplant and psychologically prepare patients for the operation.

    Planning a hair transplant

    The patient meets the doctor who will perform the procedure. During the consultation, a person can tell their wishes and ask the doctor questions. After this, a computer design of a new hairstyle is carried out. The doctor determines the transplantation zones and the number of grafts to be transplanted.

    Hair transplant procedure

    • Collection of follicles. Previously, follicles from the donor area were collected manually. Today, Smile Hair Clinic specialists do this using a special tool – Micro Motor FUE. This makes it possible to significantly speed up the procedure. The doctor removes the follicles and places them in a biological solution to maintain viability.
    • Opening of channels. This is an important step in the transplant procedure. An anesthetic is applied to the skin in the donor area to make the patient feel comfortable. Using a sapphire scalpel, the doctor opens the channels taking into account the depth and angle of the hair. This is necessary to achieve a natural result.
    • Follicle implantation. The surgeon transplants the collected grafts into pre-opened canals. In the case of using the DHI technique, this is done using a special Choi Pen implanter.

    At the final stage, the doctor gives recommendations for recovery and tells how to care for the scalp during the healing period.

    Additional procedures that can be performed at Smile Hair Clinic

    Sideburn transplant

    Sideburn transplantation is similar to the hair transplant procedure. Hair follicles are collected from the side or back of the head using the FUE method. When performing an operation, Smile Hair Clinic surgeons take into account such features as thickness, structure and color of hair in order to obtain the most natural result.

    Mustache and beard transplantation

    This procedure is very popular among men recently. Mustaches and beards are considered a symbol of masculinity. Therefore, many males suffer from self-doubt and problems with self-esteem if the mustache and beard are sparse and grow unevenly. This can happen due to hormonal imbalance, genetics, scarring, inflammation or infection. At Smile Hair Clinic, mustache and beard transplantation is carried out using the latest developments and innovative technologies.

    Hair transplant for women

    Women face the problem of hair loss due to hormonal imbalances, stress or chronic diseases. Hair transplantation for women is different from hair transplantation for men. If the procedure is carried out by experienced specialists, it is possible to achieve excellent results. Smile Hair Clinic has developed a special program that takes into account the characteristics of the growth line, structure, hair density and other features of transplantation in women.

    Eyebrow transplant

    Eyebrows play an important role in reflecting emotions and determine the overall aesthetics of a person’s face. Today, due to the active use of social networks, women want to look perfect and spend a lot of effort to achieve the correct eyebrow shape. Unfortunately, vigorous plucking, aggressive cosmetic procedures, and certain types of medications can lead to thinning and deformed eyebrows. This problem can be solved using microtransplantation. Today this method is widely in demand among both women and men.

    Benefits of hair transplant at Smile Hair Clinic

    Smile Hair Clinic specialists are guided by the principle that aesthetics is a reflection of a person’s inner desire for perfection. They believe that the use of modern technology and scientific developments helps to get closer to ideal hair transplant results.

    пересадка волос в Турции

    Careful planning before surgery is the key to a successful transplant. Before the procedure, doctors accurately calculate the number of grafts that will make it possible to obtain a natural and attractive hairstyle. They try to carry out the transplant in such a way as to leave a sufficient number of follicles in the donor area. This is necessary so that the patient, if necessary, has the opportunity to undergo a second operation.

    Implantation of grafts is, in fact, a kind of art. Hair on the head grows unevenly: in different areas there may be one, two, three or even four growing hair shafts in the follicles. This is a feature that must be taken into account in order to achieve a natural result. In addition, during the operation, Smile Hair Clinic doctors try not only to transplant as many grafts as possible, but to form a beautiful hair growth line, maintain the angle of inclination and depth of the follicular units.

    Smile Hair Clinic works for the benefit of the patient. For this reason, doctors never promise patients unrealistic results. Instead, the medical center’s specialists are always ready to listen to the client’s wishes and find the best solutions to achieve the desired effect. The main criterion for success for Smile Hair Clinic is patient satisfaction and the natural appearance of the new hairstyle.

    What are the benefits of Micro FUE hair transplant?

    The Micro FUE method is the process of removing individual hair follicles from a donor area using a micromotor. Micro FUE is a technique that restores the natural appearance of hair in patients with alopecia (baldness). Experienced doctors remove hair follicles (grafts) from the back of the head, where hair growth is densest, or from other areas of the body and transfer them to the bald area.

    Doctors at the Smile Hair clinic perform the operation under both local and local anesthesia with sedation. When making incisions, the clinic’s doctors use instruments with a sapphire tip, which is an innovative technological achievement in the field of hair transplantation.

    The procedure lasts from 6 to 8 hours, and after local anesthesia the patient does not feel pain. The Micro FUE method allows patients to undergo a rapid healing period without leaving scars.

    What is a sapphire hair transplant?

    During hair transplantation, doctors create numerous channels in the area to transfer hair follicles to the scalp.

    Sapphire hair transplant method greatly facilitates the process of hair transplantation, since instead of steel tips, the clinic’s leading specialists use sapphire tips, which are perfectly sharpened and close in hardness to diamond.

    Sapphire tips cause much less damage when in contact with the skin and during the formation of channels for hair follicles, compared to tips made from other materials.

    This property of sapphire tips also makes it possible to create denser hair in the bald area. Thanks to this method, more successful results are observed in patients with a high degree of baldness.
