DHI Hair Transplant Turkey

The cost of DHI hair transplant in Turkey is USD 2,000 and may vary depending on the number of grafts and the specific hospital/clinic’s package.

Hair Transplant

DHI- a permanent hair restoration method, which is a modified version of the FUE technique, back in date introduced by DHI Global Medical Group in 2010.

Initially, surgeons start with removing the healthy hair follicles from one or in specific cases from, more areas of the scalp. Later, they transfer them to the thinning or balding zones. It is these transplanted units, which grow into a new hair and blend with the previous growth.

In a nutshell, FUE is a technique that combines hair extraction & implantation in a single process. Whereas, in DHI the hair follicles are first extracted from the donor area before being implanted into the recipient area, without the need for incisions.

Hair Loss

Hair loss is not gender specific. It cannot be predicted or there’s no guaranteed cure.

There is no fixed category in the context of the pricing of hair transplant procedures. Among other factors, the main contributors are

  • The hair transplant technique /method you choose.
  • The extent of the implantation/no. of follicles required
  • Any additional procedure like PRP therapy
  • Experience and popularity of the surgeon/brand
  • The clinic’s location
  • The quality of equipment used.

There are several reasons that may contribute to hair loss:

  • Hereditary-family history of alopecia
  • Radiation therapy
  • Hormonal changes
  • Medication
  • Medical conditions-infections, autoimmune disorder
  • Overuse of beauty products/Inferior hair products
  • Personal hygiene
  • Nutrition
  • Environment
  • Metabolism
  • Hormones

Apart from the reasons there may be certain risk factors which keep us alarmed:

  • Age- mostly the elderly deal with this.
  • Family history
  • Poor nutrition
  • Stress

Reason or risk being just any, a sure shot, permanent solution with a systematic approach is – Hair Transplant.

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)

What is DHI?

It is invariably the latest transplantation technique and is considered a modified version of the FUE method. Without any incisions, the hair follicles are directly embedded into the recipient area post-extraction.

To carry out this implantation meticulously the surgeons use a Choi Implanter Pen. This adds to the benefits of using the pen as it immediately enhances the follicle survival rate and significantly reduces the risk of scarring & bleeding.

What’s the procedure?

  • A complete comprehensive consultation with the surgeon is the basis to begin the treatment. The process starts with making the head numb using local, needleless anesthesia so that the patient is comfortable.
  • Anaesthetization for sedation is optional as general anesthesia may also be prescribed in some cases.
  • Extraction is the next thing surgeons focus on. Hair follicles are extracted from the donor site as grafts, which are further categorized as 1,2,3,4 based on the number of follicles each graft has.
  • It is at this stage the experience and expertise of the doctor and his/her team become quintessential as based on how the follicles are supposed to be kept alive and healthy becomes a challenge. The grafts are secured in a special solution to make them implantation ready.
  • Implantation-These follicles are collected in a special pen-like tool, the Choi implant pen and inserted directly into the recipient area, one by one, individually.
  • The implanter pen replaced the forceps & knives used in FUE traditionally during the implantations. This in turn made opening and incision(channel) and implantation of the hair graft a one-step action.
  • The angle and the direction at which the follicles are implanted play a very vital role, to give a natural look.
  • The treatment may also be performed using sapphire blades for perfection and to minimize scabbing.
  • The sapphire blades have their own merits:
  • These blades have antimicrobial qualities which reduce the risk of any infection.
  • The sharpness and strength, sapphire is known to have, reduces the risk of scalp tissue damage.
  • This in turn also makes recovery faster.
  • The extracted follicles are then ready to be transplanted into incisions or channels. The placement requires expertise, as this decides the density and the natural look post-surgery.

Advantages

  • FUE and DHI are non-invasive, outpatient procedures with minimal risk of injury, and complications
  • There is a low risk of bleeding at the recipient site.
  • The grafts undergo less trauma as the time outside the body is reduced which enhances the survival rate of the transplanted follicles.
  • As the recipient site may not require shaving the head before the surgery, the outcome is much better and the recovery time is reduced.
  • Although, the traditional FUE transplant in Turkey is more expensive than the DHI hair transplant in Turkey, and is significant in comparison to similar procedures in other countries.
  • DHI transplant in Turkey usually takes around 8 hours, however, the duration may vary in some cases. The results are seen after 12-18 months.

Suitability

DHI is ideal for individuals who experience pattern baldness, usually 50% of men over 50. With substantial advancement in training and methods, DHI transplantation surgeons in Turkey can confidently use this method virtually on any patient.

The Cost Factor

DHI is definitely known for the results and being a more advanced technique, it uses more advanced equipment. This is the reason the cost is steeper than an FUE surgery.

The higher cost may result in a deal-breaker; however, the higher cost is worth the result and a more comfortable hair transplantation journey with a faster recovery.
