Hair Transplantation Applications and Techniques

The most widely used method is the Fue Hair Transplantation technique.

Channels (small pouches) are created so that the hair follicles taken can be transplanted to the area where they are needed. According to the channel opening technique used, the growth angle and quality of the hair changes. Channel opening methods are also mentioned together with the fue technique.

Sapphire tip fue, Percutaneous fue, lateral slit fue, vertical slit fue, golden tip ue, Robotic Hair Transplantation and DHI Hair Transplantation methods are also among the frequently used hair transplantation techniques.
