Stages of the Hair Transplant Operation
Shaving of the Hair:
The procedure begins with shaving the recipient area and the donor area to properly prepare the scalp.
Local Anesthesia or Sedation:
Local anesthesia is applied to ensure that you do not feel any pain during the procedure. For a more comfortable experience, a sedated hair transplant option is also available.
Extraction of Grafts:
In the third stage, healthy hair follicles (grafts) are extracted one by one from the donor area (nape of the neck) using specialized micro-motor devices.
Opening of Channels with Sapphire Blade:
Micro-channels are then opened in the recipient area while respecting the natural angle and direction of the hair. Thanks to sapphire blades, much finer channels can be created, promoting faster healing and a more natural-looking result.
Implantation of the Grafts:
Finally, the extracted grafts are carefully implanted into the micro-channels opened using the sapphire technique.
Duration of the Procedure and Post-Operative Process
A hair transplant procedure generally lasts between 5 and 8 hours.
- 1st stage: approximately 1.5 – 2 hours
- 2nd stage: approximately 1 hour
- 3rd stage: approximately 2 – 3 hours
Including breaks, the procedure is typically completed within 5 to 8 hours.
