What Drives Transmed
Transmed aims to be Turkey's most trusted hair restoration clinic through continuous research and development of transplantation methods. The clinic's focus remains on advancing follicular techniques and refining patient outcomes.
Patient-Centered Approach
Each patient receives a customized treatment plan developed by experienced hair restoration specialists. The clinic evaluates donor area quality, hair loss patterns, and individual goals to determine the most appropriate technique—whether FUE, FUE Sapphire, DHI, or FUE by Doctor.
Commitment to Excellence
Transmed's team works toward achieving natural-looking results that restore confidence. The clinic maintains long-term relationships with patients, providing ongoing support throughout the hair restoration journey.
Core Principles
- Patient satisfaction guides every decision, from initial consultation through final results. The clinic prioritizes realistic expectations and transparent communication about what each technique can achieve.
- Safety and ethical practice define Transmed's approach. Every recommendation considers the patient's long-term hair health, with procedures performed according to international standards.
- Innovation in follicular extraction remains central to the clinic's identity. Transmed adopts proven advancements in FUE, Sapphire blade technology, and DHI implanter methods as they emerge.
Follicular Unit Extraction at Transmed
Transmed offers multiple FUE approaches tailored to different hair loss patterns and patient needs. The standard FUE method extracts individual follicular units using precision instruments, while FUE Sapphire employs blades made from sapphire crystal for refined incisions. The FUE by Doctor option ensures the surgeon personally performs every extraction, and DHI uses a specialized implanter pen for direct placement without pre-made incisions.
Why Choose Follicular Extraction
Follicular extraction techniques leave minimal visible scarring in the donor region, with extraction sites healing rapidly. Patients can wear their hair short after recovery, as individual follicle removal creates only tiny marks that fade quickly. Body hair can supplement scalp follicles when donor area density is limited.
Determining Your Candidacy
Before scheduling a transplant, Transmed conducts thorough scalp and hair analysis. Blood tests identify any non-hereditary factors contributing to hair loss. When systemic health is confirmed and the donor area contains sufficient grafts, the clinic schedules the procedure and discusses which technique—FUE, FUE Sapphire, FUE by Doctor, or DHI—best suits your situation.
What Happens During Your Procedure
The donor region is prepared on the day of surgery to allow precise follicle harvesting. Local anesthesia ensures comfort throughout the process. Follicular units are extracted and immediately implanted into prepared channels in the recipient area, with technique varying based on the method selected during consultation.
