FUE vs DHI vs Sapphire FUE: Which Technique Is Right for You?
The three primary techniques available in Istanbul each serve different patient profiles. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is the gold standard for large sessions (3,000–5,500 grafts) and offers the best cost-to-graft ratio. DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) uses a Choi implanter pen for simultaneous extraction and placement — ideal for crown density and no-shave procedures. Sapphire FUE uses sapphire-tipped blades for smaller channels, faster healing (3–5 days), and higher density. Our medical board selects the optimal technique after evaluating your Norwood stage, donor density, and aesthetic goals.
Norwood Scale: How Many Grafts Do You Need?
The Norwood-Hamilton scale classifies male pattern baldness in 7 stages. Norwood 2–3 requires 1,000–2,000 grafts. Norwood 4 requires 2,000–3,500 grafts. Norwood 5–6 requires 3,500–5,000 grafts. Norwood 7 may require 5,000–8,000 grafts across two sessions. Istanbul surgeons perform a detailed trichoscopy and donor area mapping to provide an exact graft count before any commitment.
Hair Transplant Timeline: Month-by-Month Results
Understanding the growth timeline sets realistic expectations. Weeks 1–2: scabbing and initial healing. Weeks 3–6: shock loss (normal — transplanted hairs shed before regrowth). Months 3–4: new hair growth begins. Months 6–8: significant density visible. Month 12: 80–90% of final result. Month 18: complete final density. OTEMED | GLOBAL HEALING provides a structured remote follow-up at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.
