What are the methods for hair transplantation in Turkey – Istanbul?
Fortunately, hair transplant methods are very diverse, and this has made it possible for more hair transplant applicants to receive effective and high-density hair transplants. The main difference between different hair transplant methods is in the method and technique of graft removal. For example, in the FUT method, the harvest is done in the form of a strip, and in the FIT method, the follicles are extracted in a single way.
Remember that there is a general rule about hair transplants:
The better the grafts are removed, the better the hair transplant results.
Among modern and standard hair transplant methods, FUT method is the oldest and MicroFIT method is the newest method in Iran. In the following, we want to give a brief explanation about each of the hair transplant methods and examine their advantages and disadvantages. In this way, you can choose the best hair transplant method for yourself by weighing these points.
We have explained more about FUT and FIT methods because these two methods are the basis of other hair transplant methods.
Is FUT or strip hair transplantation the best method of hair transplantation?
In the past, when we talked about hair transplants, everyone immediately remembered the tape wounds behind. Tape wound is the main symptom of FUT hair transplantation. In this procedure, the doctor removes a strip of skin from the skin behind or above your ear. It then extracts the follicles in the dermis under a microscope and implants them seed by area in the empty areas of the scalp.
When the FUT method was invented, it was unrivaled as the best hair transplant method. With the invention of the FIT method and newer methods such as SUT and Micro FIT, the fans of this method became less, but it is still known as one of the most effective hair transplant methods in the world.
Advantages and advantages of FUT method in Turkey – Istanbul
The FUT method (due to less difficulty and higher speed) costs less than other methods.
The whole process of hair transplantation is done by FUT method in one day.
You do not need to shave your hair for FUT method.
Because FUT is faster, the follicles stay out of the body for less time and are less likely to be damaged.
The process of extracting follicles in FUT method is done under a microscope. As a result, the number of healthy follicles extracted per unit time is greater. It also reduces the error rate of surgical instruments.
The follicles extracted by the FUT method have the most permanent hairs. The strongest follicles of the head are densely located in the area where the skin strip is removed.
Disadvantages and limitations of the FUT method
The biggest drawback of the FUT method is the tape scar at the site of the hair bank. Skin tape cutting is an invasive procedure and is associated with bleeding.
Larger wounds heal harder. Wounds from other hair transplants, such as FIT, SUT or MicroFIT, are in the form of holes less than one millimeter in diameter. But the wound of the FUT method is large. Therefore, it takes longer for it to heal and it may cause you more discomfort and pain.
You should not do strenuous exercise after FUT hair transplant because there is a risk of scarring and flesh.
People who have stiff scalp or their skin does not have enough flexibility can not use FUT hair. Also, in young applicants, athletes and people with a history of flesh wounds, it is better not to use the FUT method.
FUT method can not be used to remove fine hair on the neck, facial hair and body hair.
Is FIT Hair Transplant the Best Hair Transplant in Turkey – Istanbul?
First of all, you should know that FIT hair transplantation is known in the world as FUE and is the best hair transplant method in the world. The more correct name FUE stands for “extraction of follicular units”. If you remember, we said that the follicles are stripped in the FUT method and implanted in the form of seeds. In the FIT method, both the removal and the implantation of the follicles are done in a single form or the same grain.
History of Hair Transplantation: What Created FIT?
The older FUT method was considered the best hair transplant at the time of its invention. Prior to the invention of this method, hair transplants were done in batches. That is, for example, a bunch of 10-12 hairs were planted in bald areas. Just like the hair of old dolls. The FUT method was the first method to use follicular units. Each follicular unit contains one follicle and 1 to 3 hairs. For this reason, the problem of abnormal hair transplantation was solved.
One of the major drawbacks of the FUT method was that it was not feasible for many applicants or was not worth the effort. For example, those with a history of flesh wounds could not have hair transplanted by FUT. Because their band wounds were deformed and deformed. Or, for example, those who had small and limited baldness had to endure a lot of pain and effort to grow hair.
Another problem with FUT was the removal of the skin strip. To remove this tape, a medium-deep incision should be made in the skin; Because hair follicles are located in the middle layers of the skin. After removing the tape, the dermatologist sutures the top and bottom of the tape. Removal of the tape is associated with bleeding, sutures, and eventually postoperative complications.
How did the FIT method solve the problem?
In the FIT method and other methods based on it, such as the SUT and MicroFIT methods, the surgeon uses a special tool that removes only one follicular unit by making holes with a diameter of 1 mm or less. This tool is different in different methods, but in the FIT method it is called “millimeter punch”.
With the help of precision cutting tools and FIT method, there is no need to make cuts on the head. So there is no news of bleeding and stitches. The removal tool makes microscopic holes in the head, the bleeding does not drop and heals without the need for sutures. For this reason, FIT became known as non-surgical hair transplantation. Of course, this method is still a surgery because it requires an operating room, skilled doctors, medical team and other equipment. However, the FIT method is so invasive that it is known as “non-surgical” or “non-surgical.”
Advantages and advantages of FIT method
The most important advantage of the FIT method is that it is minimally invasive. In this method, there is no more tape wound. Very small wounds heal quickly and are usually painless and uncomfortable.
Low scalp flexibility or a history of flesh sores do not limit FIT hair transplant applicants, and the best hair transplant method for these people is the FIT method or other methods based on it (such as SUT or MFIT).
In the FIT method, thinner hairs can be removed, which are used to normalize hair transplants. It can also be extracted from follicles in the beard or body, known as the BHT method.
After hair transplantation, there are no restrictions on exercise and physical activity.
Disadvantages and limitations of the FIT method
As we have said, in the FIT method, the follicles are removed and extracted in a single way. This means that the surgeon has to make 1000 small holes on your skin to extract, for example, 1000 follicles, and each time he pulls out the follicles with great care. This is easier with the FUT method because it is done under a microscope and outside the body. But in FIT, the surgeon works directly on your scalp.
Performing the FIT procedure requires a high level of skill and experience of the surgeon. The more skilled the surgeon, the fewer the limitations of the procedure.
According to the explanations we have given, the first group of disadvantages and limitations of the FIT method is as follows:
The process of making tiny holes and extracting follicles with hand tools (punches and pliers) is very time consuming.
In general, the percentage of healthy follicles extracted is slightly lower than the FUT method. Of course, the surgeon’s skill is crucial in this case and can reduce it below 5%.
The follicles spend more time outside the body and are more likely to be damaged.
Apart from speed limitations, the FIT method has another problem. In general, the quality of follicles harvested in this method is slightly lower than the FUT method. We mentioned earlier that the most permanent hairs are densely located in the area where the FUT skin strip is removed. In the FIT method, we have to make holes for hair follicle removal at certain intervals. If the holes are too close together, there is a risk of scarring.
In the FIT method, the follicles must be removed from an area 5 times larger than the skin strip in the FUT method. In this way, we are forced to extract a number of low-quality follicles that may fall out in the future. For this reason, for those who have low density in the hair bank, the FUT method is probably the best method of hair transplantation.
So the next limitation is:
The FIT method is more likely to remove low-quality follicles that may fall out in the future.
Other limitations of the FIT method include the following:
The FIT method is time consuming and usually takes two working days to reach high densities.
This method is more expensive due to time consuming and difficult.
Hair must be shaved.
