What Is a Hair Graft?

Vera Clinic offers award winning hair transplant procedures in Turkey. We specialise in hair transplant grafts, allowing you to achieve a full head of natural looking hair through a minimally invasive process. As 85% of men experience hair loss before the age of 50 and 40% of women experience hair loss before they reach 40, FUE hair transplants are becoming an increasingly common procedure.

Although hair loss is common and widely accepted, it is never anyone’s choice to go bald. Baldness can impact the lives of those inflicted by it in many ways such as their social lives, relationships, and careers, often having a major impact on their self-confidence.

We at Vera Clinic present our patients with many different options, transferring hair transplant grafts to the affected area in order to restore confidence, improve their appearance, and enhance their quality of life dramatically.

What are Grafts in a Hair Transplant?

What are grafts in a hair transplant and why are they important? Hair transplant grafts are strips of skin containing hair. Within a hair transplant, healthy hair follicles are harvested in order to transplant them into an area where visible hair is no longer present.

Hair transplant grafts are usually selected from a donor zone, found within the scalp due to the high sustainability of hair follicles within that region.

At Vera Clinic, we utilise the most advanced surgical tools and technology in order to determine the size, shape and sustainability of hair transplant grafts. When hair transplant grafts are formed through removing tissues from a donor site, a small amount of tissue is removed in individual units for a FUE hair transplant.

Hair Transplant Grafts: Extraction

Hair transplant grafts are extracted from the donor region once our surgeons have established how many will need to be extracted. The number of hair transplant grafts required will impact the total procedure time, but this is always discussed prior to the procedure taking place.

To extract hair transplant grafts, the donor areas is shaved before the hair transplant graft follicles are removed from the skin. Anaesthetic is used here, and small incisions are made in the targeted areas to insert the extracted follicles into the chosen area.

Hair Transplant Grafts: Preservation

Hair transplant grafts are preserved following extraction in order to maintain their quality prior to transplantation. To ensure hair transplant grafts survive, certain action must be taken by our highly trained surgeons. Many factors can impact the preservation and survivability of hair transplant grafts, including:

  • Dehydration
  • Temperature
  • Oxygen deprivation

At Vera Clinic, we only use the most highly esteemed, well-trained professionals when it comes to the extraction and transplantation of hair transplant graft. This ensures that results of our hair transplant procedures are optimal, with the highest levels of care taken throughout every step of the procedure.

How Many Hair Transplant Grafts are Required?

This will depend on the each individual and their specific requirements. We will recommend a certain amount of hair transplant grafts suitable for you in order to guarantee the best results. Once a sufficient number of hair transplant grafts has been decided upon, we will begin the procedure.

Sometimes individuals will not be suitable for hair transplant grafts, but this will be discussed with you in detail once you have contacted us for consultation prior to your procedure.
