What is the Combined Hair Transplant Technique?
Combination of DHI and Sapphire FUE
This innovative technique, known as the Combined and Hybrid technique, allows DHI and Sapphire FUE techniques to be used in the same hair transplant session, allowing the advantages of both techniques to be taken at once.
Advantages of the Combined Technique
The combined hair transplant technique is especially ideal for those who desire both a dense and natural front hairline. In this technique, a natural-looking front hairline is determined with the DHI technique, and grafts are transplanted with a special hair transplant pen called CHOI, without the need for pre-canalization. In the upper and frontal areas where density is desired, the Sapphire FUE technique is used since the DHI technique is insufficient both in terms of operation time and density.
Process of the Combined Technique
Preliminary Preparation Stages
The combined technique is not suitable for everyone, so it is preceded by a preparatory process called consultation. In this step, the specialist surgeon examines the patient's hair structure and hair loss type in detail. This analysis is critical for determining how much hair density is needed in which area. After the hair analysis is completed, the process of collecting the grafts begins and planning is made for the transplantation process.
Planting Process
During the transplantation process, the designated areas of the front hairline are transplanted with the CHOI pen of the DHI technique without opening a channel beforehand. At this stage, the previously collected grafts are not stored in a separate process but are directly attached to the CHOI pen and transplanted as soon as they are removed. This helps the grafts to survive.
For the areas behind the upper and front hairline, grooving is performed with the help of Sapphire-tipped blades, a tool of the Sapphire FUE technique. Unlike the normal FUE technique, the channeling process is completed with the help of Sapphire-tipped blades, with 3-dimensional cuts instead of flat cuts. The grafts collected and preserved beforehand are transplanted into these channels and the process is continued and completed.
Expected Results and Maintenance
Evaluation of Results
After a successful combined hair transplant operation, it is aimed that most of the transplanted hair will successfully hold and grow. After experiencing a natural shedding process called "shock shedding" in the first few months, the hair is expected to become much denser, thicker, and natural-looking.
Care Recommendations
The operation performed with the combined hair transplantation technique requires solid post-operative care as with other techniques. To ensure the healthy growth of the transplanted hair follicles, you must take some care.
These are explained in detail in our articles "What to do after hair transplant operation" and "Correct washing and routine care after hair transplant operation"
What is Sapphire FUE Hair Transplantation?
Sapphire FUE, one of the most popular hair transplant techniques, is an innovative technique that allows for the creation of three-dimensional incisions instead of the flat incisions that traditional FUE techniques apply during channeling, resulting in much denser and thicker hair. This innovation also allows for much smaller canals, resulting in less scarring and a much faster healing process.
Features of the Sapphire Blade
Thanks to its special structure, the sapphire-tipped blade creates three-dimensional cuts, providing a serious advantage in terms of determining the correct direction of hair growth. Since the three-dimensional opening of the channels in the sapphire FUE technique instead of flat cuts reduces the distance between two channels that can be opened side by side, the hair can be transplanted much more frequently and densely. As a result, a natural appearance is achieved.
In addition, the healing process is quite fast as there is less bleeding.
Who is it suitable for?
It is especially ideal for people with excessive hair loss and thinning problems. It can also be the first choice for individuals who want to increase hair density and have natural-looking hair.
Process and Stages
Pre-Sowing Preparation
In the Sapphire FUE technique, the patient's entire hair is shaved before the operation. It is also checked whether there are any health problems before the procedure.
Recovery Process
The recovery process of operations completed with the Sapphire FUE technique is much faster compared to other techniques.
Advantages
A high success rate, natural-looking hair, minimal scarring, and a fast healing process are the most obvious advantages of Sapphire FUE.
What is the DHI Hair Transplant Technique?
This innovative method, known as DHI, or "Direct Hair Transplantation", is especially suitable for people with thinning or thinning hair rather than hair loss. The DHI technique involves transplanting hair follicles taken from the donor area directly into the thinning area with the CHOI pen.
How Does the Transplantation Process Work?
When performing hair transplantation using the DHI technique, the extracted grafts are transferred directly to the transplantation area with the CHOI pen without any other process. In this way, damage to the hair follicles is minimized and their vitality is preserved.
Advantages of DHI Technique
The DHI hair transplant technique has some important advantages compared to other traditional or popular hair transplant techniques. These advantages include a more natural appearance of the hair growing in the transplanted area, a significant increase in recovery time, and minimal pain and discomfort due to the procedure being performed without prior canalization.
More Natural Results
Thanks to a special advantage provided by the CHOI pen, the results look much more natural as the hair can be transplanted under the surgeon's control according to its natural growth direction. Using the DHI technique, especially in the front hairline and front vertex area, makes a visible difference.
Recovery Process
Since there is no process of opening the channels beforehand, the DHI method involves fewer incisions, and as a result, scars heal quickly. In hair transplantation operations completed with the DHI technique, patients can usually return to their routine life within a few days.
The risk of complications is also minimized.
Who is it suitable for?
The DHI technique is especially suitable for people who have fewer hair loss problems, thinning hair, and thinning hair follicles and want to improve them in a quality and natural-looking way. However, for patients who do not have enough donor area, the DHI technique may not be suitable according to the surgeon's interpretation.
Is Specialist Selection Important?
Unlike other traditional techniques, the DHI hair transplantation technique is performed with at least 3-4 healthcare professionals.
Two of these healthcare professionals collect the grafts and place them in the CHOI pen. Another two people transplant these grafts to the transplantation site. Therefore, it is very important for patients considering the operation to choose a surgeon who is specialized and knowledgeable in this field. The experience of the surgeon plays a big role in the natural appearance of the hair and the success rate of the result.
What is TDF (2 Days FUE) Hair Transplant Technique?
The TDF (Two Days Follicular Unit Extraction) method is an ideal solution that has emerged in recent years, especially for people who need more hair. In this method, the traditional FUE technique is applied two days in a row, especially for people who have lost a lot of hair and have sufficient donor area. This makes it possible to transplant more hair follicles and thus, the patients' large areas of thinning and loss are covered with hair.
First Day Procedures
- Final preoperative preparations: the entire scalp is shaved and local anesthesia is applied to facilitate the operation process.
- Graft harvesting: the hair follicles in the donor area are gently removed one by one.
- Graft preparation: the extracted grafts are preserved in a special solution to maintain viability.
- Channeling: a surgeon specialized in channeling opens the channels that will naturally form on the front hairline on the first day with the help of sapphire-tipped blades.
- Transplantation process: the grafts taken from the donor area are transferred one by one by a team into the channels opened one by one. it is very important to open the channels in the right direction to ensure naturalness in the hair transplantation process.
Second Day Procedures
- Evaluation: the results of the previous day's procedure are evaluated by the surgeon and transplantation to other sparse areas is planned.
- Continuation of the transplantation process: additional grafts are taken from the donor area and transplanted to the sparse areas by performing the same procedure as on the first day.
- Post-operative instructions: after the second day is completed, the patient is given the necessary care and routine instructions by the hair transplant specialist.
Advantages of TDF (2 Days FUE) Technique
Removing the Waiting Time
Perhaps the most important advantage of the TDF hair transplantation technique is that it can give results at once to patients who need more grafts without waiting 8-12 months between two operations.
Thus, the patient does not come to Turkey twice and does not pay twice for airplanes, hotels, and other costs.
Intense and Natural Results
The hair transplantation process, which is performed for two consecutive days, helps to transplant the grafts naturally, not to be rushed, and to achieve a more natural-looking hair transplant result.
Especially in cases requiring intensive hair follicle transplantation, the TDF technique offers excellent results as a vital solution.
