Hair transplantation is a type of aesthetic procedure performed using many different techniques and is especially preferred by men. Hair transplantation provides more permanent results when performed at the stage where hair loss is evident and clearly noticeable. The methods applied may vary depending on the patient’s hair structure and the aesthetic center chosen, but the well-known and proven hair transplant methods from past to present can be listed as follows;
1-) FUT
2-) FUE
3-) DHI
4-) PRP
In general, in all of these methods, hair transplantation is performed on areas where the hair is sparse or completely absent. The main desire of those who wish to undergo this procedure is to achieve natural and permanent success by using the best hair transplant method. Dr. Ebru Durmuş and many hair transplant centers use FUE technology, which provides highly effective and lasting results. Being an advanced version of the FUT method that ensures a more natural appearance, the FUE technique is one of the most preferred. For any questions you may have about this method, you can call us at +90 (232) 421 30 64. Now let’s explain how these methods are applied.
Hair Transplantation with the FUT Method
As the first and classical method in the field of hair transplantation, FUT is performed by removing hairs one by one from the back of the neck and behind the ears, then implanting them into the bald areas. Since this implantation process is a surgical procedure, a fine linear scar remains, which is why it is not commonly preferred today. Another disadvantage of the FUT method is that it is carried out in long, spaced sessions. Only 3,000 to 4,000 hairs can be removed from the donor area at one time, and since they are implanted individually, the operation can last around 4 hours. As new hair growth in the donor area takes about 6 months, a second hair transplant session can only be performed after this period.
If the area to be transplanted is small, the procedure can be completed in a single session. However, if you want hair transplantation over a large area, this method is both costly and quite time-consuming. FUT requires a large and experienced team in hair transplantation, and achieving a natural appearance is difficult. The stitches in the FUT hair transplant method are usually removed about a week later.
Hair Transplantation with the FUE Method
Similar to the FUT method, the FUE technique also involves transplanting hair follicles taken from the same donor area, but the application technique is slightly different. Using a device called a Punch, hair follicles are extracted in pairs or triplets and then transplanted. With sessions performed over a few days, up to 5,000 hair follicles can be transplanted, and the procedure takes around 6–7 hours. The main reason this technique is the most preferred among hair transplant methods is that it ensures a natural appearance, and since it is not a surgical procedure, no scars are left. In addition to the back of the neck and behind the ears, chest hair is now also used for transplantation. Since the structure of chest hair is similar to scalp hair, it continues to grow like normal hair after transplantation. This method is demanding and meticulous.

Hair Transplantation with the DHI Method
Unlike other hair transplantation techniques, the DHI method provides results closest to natural hair, as the follicles are transplanted directly into the scalp without any additional processing. The main aim here is to ensure the hair finds its natural direction. DHI causes no pain during the procedure. Since the hair follicles are preserved in a special solution that increases their survival rate, this method provides lifelong results.
PRP Hair Transplant Method
This method is highly detailed and must be performed by specialist doctors. In PRP, plasma obtained from the patient’s own blood is enriched and then injected into the areas where hair transplantation will be performed. This method is applied once a month, and the entire process is completed over the course of one year.
