1. Follicular Unit Transfer (FUT)
2. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
3. Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)

1. FUT:

The scalp behind the head is cut out in the form of a leather band. Follicular units / grafts are examined under a microscope and separated and made ready for planting. This technique, which leaves an incision behind the head and has a longer recovery period, is now replaced by the FUE technique.

2. FUE:

FUE, which is the gold standard in hair transplantation operations, is based on taking the follicular units / grafts one by one without making any incision.
