FUE Hair Transplant

What Is FUE Hair Transplant?

During FUE hair transplant in Turkey, local anesthesia is applied and the hair roots are collected one by one using specially edged micro motors and implanted into bald areas taking into account the hair growth direction and angle. The hair roots are collected faster with these micro motors and the hair transplantation is completed in a short time.

To express it more clearly, the hair is implanted into the bald area one by one by shaving the donor area to 1 mm during FUE hair transplant Istanbul Turkey. Local anesthesia is used to numb the donor area and the implantation area. The end of the micro motor is brought closer to take the hair root in the middle and the motor is punched to the scalp in the direction of hair growth. The hair root is cut in a cylindrical format with the follicle and the microscopic tissue around it. The hair root is gently pulled with micro forceps and the follicular unit is separated from the base. The follicular units are collected and placed in small holes in the bald area. Each follicular unit contains about 2 or 3 follicles.

FUE Hair Transplant Procedure

Follicular Unit Extraction method, which has been widely adopted since the early 2000s, is one of the most important and widely used hair transplant methods. Since it's not a surgical procedure, patients who are planning to undergo hair transplant surgery can easily choose this technique.

In a FUE hair transplant, each individual follicular unit (containing 1-4 hairs) is carefully extracted from the donor area using specialized tools. These units are then transplanted into balding or thinning areas to restore natural-looking hair growth.

During the extraction process, tiny incisions are made around each follicular unit, allowing them to be removed individually without leaving noticeable scars. This makes FUE ideal for individuals who prefer shorter hairstyles or who are concerned about visible scars.

During your FUE Turkey experience, local anesthesia is applied and the hair roots are collected one by one using special edged micro motors and implanted into bald areas taking into account the direction and angle of hair growth. The hair roots are collected faster with these micro motors and the hair transplantation is completed in a short time.

To express it more clearly, the hair is implanted into the bald area one by one by shaving the donor area to 1 mm in FUE transplant Istanbul or the same as Micro FUE Turkey.

What Are The Advantages of the FUE Method?

This automatic system that minimizes the risk of damaging the grafts during the operation shortens the operation duration and increases the number of collected grafts. When the procedure is operated in an experienced, correct and sufficient clinic that uses adequate technology and technique, the individuals can have new hair for life.

Why Should I Choose FUE Hair Transplant?

When you get your FUE hair transplant in Turkey, you will always get the permanent and immediate results of your procedure. This latest hair transplant method offers a unique approach to your needs. With this technique and technology, the hair transplant is easier to perform and the required hair roots can be taken from more regions. The most important feature is that the operation can be completed without scars. Sutures and stitches aren't used. The pain is less and the treatment process is faster. With this quick recovery, people can quickly return to their social lives.

If the procedure is performed by a professional and experienced team, the results are permanent. Patients don't experience any pain, tissue or sensation loss after the procedure. Since the hair roots are genetically resistant to hair loss, patients will have permanent hair.

FUE Turkey cost is also a factor to consider for this procedure. Turkey FUE hair transplant cost is known for its affordable prices. No matter how extensive your needs are, FUE in Turkey costs are well below the average.

Understanding the Procedure

Before undergoing an FUE hair transplant at Hermest Hair Center or any reputable clinic, it's essential to understand what will happen during the procedure itself.

Pre-operative Preparations

First, you will have an initial consultation with the hair transplant surgeon. During this consultation, the surgeon will evaluate your scalp and hair condition, discuss your expectations, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

Prior to the procedure, you may be advised to follow certain instructions to ensure optimal results. This may include avoiding blood thinning medications or supplements that may interfere with the procedure. Your hair clinic will provide you with specific guidelines to follow.

Anesthesia Options

On the day of the procedure, you can expect a comfortable and welcoming environment at Hermest Hair Center. Depending on your preference and the extent of the procedure, anesthesia options are available.

Most FUE procedures can be performed under local anesthesia, which means only the donor area (usually at the back or sides of the head) will be numbed. This allows you to remain awake during the surgery while experiencing minimal discomfort.

For those who may feel more anxious or prefer not to be fully conscious during the procedure, sedation options can also be discussed with your surgeon.

Duration of Surgery

The duration of an FUE hair transplant surgery varies depending on several factors, including how many grafts are needed and individual patient factors. Typically, an FUE procedure lasts several hours to complete.

It's crucial to note that Hermest Hair Center utilizes high-tech equipment and techniques to ensure precision and efficiency throughout each step of the procedure.

What Are the Things to Consider in Hair Transplant?

One of the most important things to consider in hair transplant is to plan an entirely customized treatment process. Because the donor region and the bald region are different for everyone. Therefore, "a standard hair transplant for everyone" is an incorrect approach. A custom treatment or hair transplant method should be selected for hair structure and expectations. Surgeons can reach up to 99% success rate by choosing an entirely custom treatment process for the patients during the pre-op consultation process.

The hairline must match the facial structure of an individual: Since everyone has a different face and head structure, the natural hairline is different. Correct identification and planning of the hairline will give a natural look after the hair transplant.
The implanted hair should have the right density and position: Incorrect planning in hair transplant will prevent a natural look. Similarly, trying to complete a large area in one session will cause a thinner hair look.
Incorrect hair implant angle: Incorrect hair implant angle will both decrease the permanency by decreasing the hair strength and cause an unnatural look due to improper combing direction.
Collecting too many hair grafts: Collecting too many grafts or hair roots from the donor region might lead to complications in this region. This could lead to irreversible problems.

Who Cannot Have a Hair Transplant?

Individuals with Hepatitis C
Individuals with HIV – AIDS
Individuals with pseudopelade and lichen planus disease
Individuals with scarce hair on the donor region
Individuals with serious chronic diseases
Individuals with heart disease, diabetes, liver failure, high blood pressure and kidney failure
Individuals under 18 years old (we recommend the treatment for individuals over 22 years old)

Since the individuals mentioned above cause a health risk or cannot achieve successful hair transplant results, it is not appropriate to perform a hair transplant operation.

Hair Transplant Steps

Hair transplant operation consists of 6 basic steps. The hair transplant operation can start after running some tests on the patient to determine whether the patient is a suitable candidate. The procedure is applied under local anesthesia. Local anesthesia is applied to provide the highest comfort for the patient and hair transplant team. The patient doesn't feel any pain or ache during the hair transplant operation.

Consultation

The hair transplant operation is planned. The individual who will have the hair transplant procedure is informed about the processes and possible complications. The hair line is first designed at the consultation stage.

Preparation

At this stage, both the patient and the operation region are prepared for hair transplant. When needed, the patient's hair is shaved. Then, the patient wears a sterile medical gown. The operation region is sterilized and sedated at this stage.

Hair Root Collection

Hair root collection starts by injecting saline solution into the back of the scalp which has the strongest hair roots to collect the roots easily and correctly. The patient won't feel a pain or ache during this operation.

Opening Channels

The roots that will be transferred to their hair transplant region should have the same direction and depth as the existing hair roots. The hair transplant channels should be adjusted at a special angle.

Hair Transplant

The hair implant is the last stage of hair transplant. At this stage, the collected roots can integrate into the channels. The most important point at this stage is to correctly place the hair roots to channels.

Completing Hair Transplant

The PRP procedure is applied to make the hair stronger and accelerate the recovery process after a hair transplant. Then, the implant region is dressed.

FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

You may have some burning questions about FUE hair transplant. To provide you with the information you need, here are answers to frequently asked questions:

The duration of an FUE hair transplant procedure can vary depending on several factors, such as the number of grafts needed and individual patient characteristics. On average, an FUE hair transplant can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day.

At Hermest Hair Center, we prioritize efficiency without compromising quality. Our experienced team utilizes advanced techniques and equipment to maximize surgical precision while minimizing procedure time.

During an FUE hair transplant, local anesthesia is commonly used. This means that only the donor area is numbed while you remain awake throughout the procedure.

Local anesthesia allows for a comfortable experience during the surgery while ensuring minimal discomfort. However, if you prefer to be less aware during the procedure, sedation options can be discussed with your surgeon at Hermest Hair Center.

Proper post-operative care is crucial for optimal healing and results after an FUE hair transplant. Your hair clinic will provide specific instructions for caring for your transplanted hair, including guidelines on washing.

Generally, gentle techniques should be employed when washing your transplanted hair. This involves using a mild shampoo and avoiding excessive rubbing or scratching of the scalp. Your surgeon will guide you through these instructions and answer any questions you may have during follow-up appointments at Hermest Hair Center.

Hair growth following an FUE hair transplant occurs in stages, with initial shedding followed by gradual regrowth over time.

Within a few weeks after the surgery, you may experience shedding of the transplanted hairs. This is a normal part of the process and allows for healthier regrowth.

Within 3-6 months following the procedure, you should begin to notice improved hair growth as new hairs sprout from the transplanted follicular units. Significant results are typically visible within 6-12 months after the surgery, although hair growth may continue to improve for up to 18 months or longer.

It's important to note that each individual's experience with hair growth timing may vary based on personal characteristics and adherence to post-operative care instructions.

The results of an FUE hair transplant at Hermest Hair Center are designed to be long-lasting and permanent. The transplanted hairs are typically derived from genetically resistant areas, making them less likely to fall out over time.

However, it's important to understand that existing non-transplanted hairs that were previously susceptible to hair loss due to genetic factors can still be subject to further thinning or loss in the future. To address this possibility and maintain optimal results, your surgeon at Hermest Hair Center may recommend additional medical therapies or treatments tailored specifically for your needs.

At Hermest Hair Center, we aim for patient satisfaction by providing comprehensive care and support throughout your journey. Regular follow-up appointments with our experienced team allow us to assess your progress, address any concerns, and provide guidance on maintaining your newly transplanted hair.

Choosing an FUE hair transplant at a reputable center like Hermest Hair Center can be a life-changing decision. Our commitment to personalized treatment plans, advanced techniques, and exceptional patient care ensures that your experience is both comfortable and transformative.

From the initial consultation to the recovery period and beyond, Hermest Hair Center walks alongside you every step of the way. Our team of skilled surgeons and dedicated professionals will provide guidance, support, and expertise to help you regain your hair with confidence.

Remember that results from an FUE hair transplant take time to manifest fully. Patience is key as you go through stages of shedding and regrowth. Following post-operative instructions diligently while maintaining regular follow-up appointments with Hermest Hair Center will set you on the path towards achieving natural-looking results.

Don't let hair loss diminish your self-esteem or hinder your quality of life. Take control of your hair restoration journey with an FUE hair transplant at Hermest Hair Center. Regain your hair with confidence and embrace a future filled with renewed self-assurance.

It's time to make a positive change in your life. Contact us at Hermest Hair Center today for a consultation and embark on a transformative journey that will give you back more than just strands of hair.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ich habe lange mit mir gerungen, ob ich eine Haartransplantation machen soll, mich dann aufgrund der guten Bewertungen für Hermest entschieden,  da ich bewusst keine Massenabfertigung wollte und bisher mit der Entscheidung sehr zufrieden bin (heute ist Tag 5).
Kurz zum Ablauf bei mir:
Freitag Anreise (1,5 Stunden Verspätung kein Thema, eine Whatsapp geschickt, Rest lief von allein)
Samstag Untersuchung und OP, ca. 13 – 18 Uhr für 4.250 Grafts, danach gabs noch Essen in der Klinik
Sonntag ca. 11:30 Uhr Verband entfernen und erste Haarwäsche, danach zum Flughafen und Rückflug (bin dann mit dem Auto 2 Stunden vom Flughafen München nach Hause gefahren, war kein Problem.
Das Hotel (Selectum …) hat gepasst, sehr sauber, bequemes Bett, haben ja viele andere schon geschrieben, Transfer zur Klinik je nach Verkehr ca. 30 Minuten.
Zur OP: Ich war sehr nervös und habe kurz vorher noch überlegt, ob ich doch noch abspringen soll. Da hat mir die persönliche Betreuung und die kleine Klinik sehr geholfen, Du sitzt da nicht in einer riesen Wartehalle und alles läuft wie am Fließband, sondern da stehen ein paar Ledersofas, Du wirst sofort begrüßt und der Dame (Name leider vergessen) fiel gleich auf, dass ich nervös war, hat sofort versucht, mich zu beruhigen, was auch geklappt hat. Für OP und Nachsorge am nächsten Tag hat man 1Betreuerin (bei mir Burcu), die schon in Deutschland gelebt hat, also kein Sprachproblem.
Nach ein paar Voruntersuchungen geht’s dann auch los, alles wird rasiert, dann kommt der üble Teil: Die Betäubung. Das war doch sehr schmerzhaft, ich bekam ca. 20 - 30 Stiche (erst Entnahmebereich, später dann auch Transplantationsbereich) in die Kopfhaut, dafür ist die restliche Zeit dann schmerzfrei.
Zum Glück war die Liege recht bequem, man liegt da ja ein paar Stunden, zwischen Entnahme und Einsetzen Toilettenpause. Irgendwann wurde eine Infusion angehängt, ich weiß nicht, was da drin war, hab aber auch nicht nachgefragt. Die Mitarbeiter, die an Dir arbeiten, können kein Deutsch und nur manche englisch, Burcu kam aber in regelmäßigen Abständen, um nachzufragen, ob alles ok ist, sie war aber nebenan und hätte jederzeit zum Übersetzen kommen können, war aber nicht nötig.
Die Nacht danach war nicht so toll, der Verband hat das Nachbluten irgendwann dann nicht mehr verkraftet und es ging dann was daneben, hat mich zuerst verunsichert, war aber völlig unnötig, in der zweiten Nacht kam noch minimal was nach (da ist dann schon kein Verband mehr dran!!!) und in der 3. Nacht war bei mir alles trocken.
Am Sonntag, also am Tag nach der OP, war mir die ganze Zeit übel, das wurde erst abends besser, musste mich aber trotz Transfers zu Klinik und Flughafen nicht übergeben.
Die Nächte sind bei mir nicht gut, man muss erhöht in Rückenlage schlafen mit Nackenkissen, das man von der Klinik bekommt und in Nacht 5 ließ die Betäubung der Kopfhaut nach und ich hatte Schmerzen im Spenderbereich, auf dem ich ja liegen soll, aber auch die ging vorbei, aber da habe ich dann die erste (!!!) Schmerztablette genommen, die im Arzneimittelpack der Klinik drin war, davor habe ich echt keine gebraucht, das hat mich sehr positiv überrascht.
Die Wunden sind nach meiner Einschätzung super verheilt, da war keinerlei Entzündung oder Problem zu sehen, die Hygiene muss top gewesen sein, die Mitarbeiter, die an dir arbeiten, tragen auch immer Mundschutz.
A propos Mitarbeiter: Die arbeiten ja immer mindestens zu zweit an Dir beim Entnehmen und Einsetzen und ich verstehe zwar kein Türkisch, aber die schienen sich alle echt gut untereinander zu verstehen, das ist mir sehr positiv aufgefallen.

Noch was: Hatte zuerst Bedenken, das im Sommer zu machen, da man nach der Transplantation nicht schwitzen und nicht in die Sonne soll, aber das ging echt gut, in Istanbul ist die Kühlkette gewahrt und in München kann man unterirdisch zum Parkhaus.

Fazit: Bisher alles gut gelaufen, Hermest kann ich bisher absolut weiterempfehlen!

I had a positive experience with Hermest. I felt the service was of high quality, so I wanted to leave this review.

From the beginning, Zera answered all of my many questions on WhatsApp, which gave me confidence to proceed.

Ayşegül was helpful as translator & support, and she made the whole experience much less stressful. The medical team was professional, caring, and focused on SAFETY, which was one of the main reasons I chose them.

Thank you to Dr. Nesim, Dr. Mahir, Celal, Doğukan, Hüseyin, and Ayşegül for taking care of me so well. Much Love.

Karl

Update on 06.08.2026:
I had a positive post-procedure experience. The support and care I received during my recovery were excellent, and the communication was always clear, kind, and professional.

I especially appreciate the help and attention from Sedef who supported me (and still supports me) through the post-procedure process. She made everything much easier and more comfortable, and I am grateful for the service.
