Many people who would like to have hair transplantation in Diva Clinic Istanbul ask about the best technique to have the desired result.
We will discuss the most used techniques in the field of hair transplantation, mentioning the advantages of every technique.
The similarities between the Choi Pens and Sapphire techniques:
- The preparation for the surgery: Both techniques are similar in preparation for the surgery and the instructions to be followed before the surgery.
- Harvesting hair follicles: Harvesting will be performed by using a binocular stereo-microscope. Hair follicles will be extracted one by one carefully to avoid any damage to the follicular cells and the donor site.
- Drawing the hairline (the outline): It’s one of the most fundamental phases of hair transplant. It determines the shape of the hair for the rest of one’s life. The same procedure applies to all techniques, including the Choi Pens and Sapphire techniques, In both techniques, the doctor draws the forehead line according to the world standards and the shape of one’s face and wish.
- Graft preservation: Grafts are preserved in a Hypothermosol solution to improve graft survival.
- High hair density: Choi Pens and Sapphire techniques are characterized by producing highly dense hair so that 135-150 grafts can be transplanted per cm2.
- Post-op care: All her transplantation techniques, including the Choi Pens and Sapphire, have the same postoperative care instructions.
- High precision of hair transplantation: Despite the radical differences between these two techniques in terms of the process of hair transplantation, both techniques guarantee high precision because they are considered the most modern hair transplant techniques.
The difference between the Choi Pens (DHI) and (FUE) techniques:
Tools used in the hair transplant process:
Choi Pens technique:
It works by using a pen-like device called “Choi pen” which has a one mm hollow needle attached to a tube and plunger apparatus. Through this needle, grafts are loaded and implanted directly into the scalp without needing to create donor incisions first. Thus avoiding unnecessary trauma to the scalp.
Sapphire (FUE) technique:
The sapphire stone has a smooth surface. Being similar to precious stones, sapphire-tipped blades are used to open incisions that are accurate in shape, depth, and angle. Sapphire is also a strong antibacterial and a high collagen stimulator, which speeds up the recovery process.
Shaving the hair in the area to be transplanted:
Choi Pens technique:
One of the nice advantages of the DHI technique is that there is no need to shave the hair before the procedure. Therefore, it’s a preferred technique, especially by women. It’s a technique that works on increasing (densifying) the hair rather than being a technique for transplanting hair into empty areas.
Sapphire( FUE) technique:
The physician prefers to shave the hair in the area to be transplanted so that the physician can merge the transplanted grafts with the natural hair to get the desired result.
The number of the grafts transplanted follicles
Choi Pens (DHI) technique:
It works on loading follicles into the needle by using forceps. The number of follicles that can be transplanted is no more than 3500 for the kills in one session since the lifespan of the follicle outside the skin is 7-9 hours.
Sapphire (FUE) technique:
Incisions are created in such a short time so that about 5500 follicles can be transplanted in one session. It doesn’t take time like Choi Pens (DHI) technique.
To conclude, Diva Clinic will provide you with both techniques to ensure that you get the result. However, your doctor is the only one who can evaluate your condition and then choose the best technique that suits your case. This is done by examining the donor site and the recipient area.
Accordingly, we are very keen to provide you with the prior advice of the medical consultant before scheduling the hair transplantation.
Diva Clinic Istanbul, your choice is your health.
