Various tools and surgical instruments are needed to perform a hair transplant. The use of hair transplant tools can vary per clinic. We explain in this article what is needed to properly perform FUE and DHI hair procedures and why the quality of these instruments are important.
Anesthesia
A hair transplant in Turkey is always done under local anesthesia. The anesthetic ensures that you do not have pain during the extraction and transplantation of the grafts. At Cosmedica Clinic, you can opt for Needle-free Anesthesia which means 70% less pain than a traditional hair transplant.
Sapphire Blade
FUE (follicular unit extraction) method hair transplantation is improved by the use of Sapphire Blades a s hair transplant tool. They have been developed to open even smaller microchannels in areas where the hair follicles are removed from the donor area.
Opening a channel is a phase that has a direct influence on the latest results of hair transplants. In this stage, we use sapphire inserts that are ultra-sharp and fine cut, the tip of which is made of sapphire.
The Sapphire Blade ensures minimal trauma and less bleeding which helps faster recovery as well as the operation itself.
Micro Sapphire Blades
For patients undergoing FUE hair transplantation, Micro Sapphire Blades offer a significant advantage in channel creation. These hair transplant tools are even finer than conventional sapphire blades. They allow for the creation of ultra-precise microchannels, ultimately yielding a more natural hair density and alignment. Furthermore, their delicate design translates to less tissue disruption, meaning less bleeding, reduced scabbing, and a quicker recovery.
Micro Sapphire Blades are particularly beneficial for high-density implants or procedures in sensitive regions.
At Cosmedica Clinic, we leverage the advanced capabilities of Micro Sapphire Blades to provide our patients with the most refined and gentle channel creation technique.
Micro-Punches
To remove the grafts (also called hair follicles), a drill or needle is needed. These hair transplant tools, also called FUE punches for FUE hair transplants, generally have a diameter of 0.6 mm to 1 mm. The size of the instrument varies per clinic. It also differs for different types of hair transplant.
Therefore, the instrument should be chosen for each patient individually for a personalized treatment.
Treatment chair
For a hair transplant, a high quality and comfortable treatment chair is necessary. A hair transplant lasts on average about 4 to 8 hours. You also need to be able to lie comfortably on both your back and stomach.
Petri dish
When the grafts have been removed, they are placed in a petri dish. This dish contains a special substance, in which the hairs survive outside the head and so can be put back in later, still living. Thanks to the petri dish, it is easier for the medical team and the hair transplant doctor to store and use the grafts when they are placed.
DHI Implanter Pen
The DHI implanter is a pen-like hair transplant tool with a hollow needle. The operation team will put the grafts into the hollow needle one by one. The surgeon uses the pen and shoots the grafts into the scalp for implantation. This gives the follicles 360 degree protection and the best chance of survival.
Conclusion
Every tool in a hair transplant procedure is essential for a safe, effective, and natural result. From comfortable seating to precise Micro Sapphire Blades and DHI Implanter Pens, each element enhances the patient experience and outcome quality.
At Cosmedica Clinic, we prioritize advanced instruments and techniques tailored to each patient. By minimizing discomfort with needle-free anesthesia and improving graft survival with specialized storage, we aim for the best possible results through innovation and expertise. Understanding these tools can increase patient confidence and knowledge during their hair restoration journey.
