Blend Duo Hair Transplant

Imagine the maximum benefit you can get from the hair transplant experience. That technique is called Blend DUO. The Blend Duo hair transplant technique aims to achieve the maximum possible result by using the strong common points of both FUE and DHI according to individuals' suitability.

With the sapphire blade of FUE, minimally invasive incisions are made in bald areas with no hair follicles around them and strong hair follicles are placed. In Blend Duo, FUE is usually used to create a new hairline and in areas with wider hair loss areas in the front and middle.

Extraction and the transplant are performed simultaneously with DHI's wonderfully fine-tipped CHOI pen. It involves placing hair follicles in areas where thinning has started and where there is a need for thickening rather than coverage.

In this way, we can not only protect the existing hair areas from the possible damage of FUE, but also meticulously cover large areas that DHI cannot cover. At Best Self Club, we understand that every individual's needs are unique and we make it our goal to develop our tailor-made techniques for your lifelong happiness.

1. Men and Women with Androgenetic Alopecia

   Androgenetic alopecia-type hair loss has many causes. These include genetic predisposition, and hormonal or age-related factors.
   Androgenetic alopecia is a form of hair loss that can cause receding hairline, thinning hair and balding in certain areas. FUE hair transplant surgery may be the solution for people suffering from androgenetic alopecia.

2. Individuals with Stable Hair Loss

   Blend DUO hair transplant technique can be preferred for individuals who cannot prevent hair loss for a long time. The important thing here is not to wait for all the hair to fall out and to take action on hair transplant while your donor area is still suitable for hair transplant surgery. Large balding areas result in longer hair transplant surgery times than average balding areas and it can be relatively difficult to achieve a dense result.

3. Those Seeking a Minimally Invasive Approach

   Blend Duo is a less invasive method, especially compared to hair transplant techniques such as FUT. While the FUT technique leaves a horizontal strip of scarring in the donor area, a fully healed FUE technique does not show any scarring.

4. Individuals with Available Donor Hair

   A suitable donor area is one of the most important factors not only in Blend Duo but also in all other hair transplant techniques. A rich donor area is a key to a successful hair transplant procedure.

HAIR TRANSPLANT INCISIONS

Although FUE, DHI or Blend Duo hair transplantation scars and incisions are generally similar to each other, there may be slight differences depending on the technique to be used. Here are scars and incisions according to techniques::

1. In Hair Transplant with FUE Technique 

   Donor Area Scarring: The primary area where FUE involves incisions and potential scars is the donor area. In FUE Hair transplant of these follicles:

   Micro Incision: Instead of a single long incision, FUE employs a series of very small, circular or elliptical micro-incisions in the donor area. These incisions are typically 0.7 mm to 1.0 mm in diameter. The size of the incisions is deliberately kept small to minimize scarring.

   Scarring: The individual micro-incisions in FUE are designed to heal with minimal scarring. These small, round or elliptical scars are often called “punch scars”. Scars are at the micro level and are not visible after recovery after hair transplant.

   Recipient Area Scarring: The recipient area where the hair grafts are transplanted also has small incisions. However, these incisions are typically very small and heal quickly. They typically do not cause noticeable scars.

2. In Hair Transplant with DHI Technique

   Donor Area Scarring: DHI aims to minimize scarring in the donor area where hair follicles are harvested (typically the back and sides of the scalp). The small puncture marks or incisions used for follicle extraction are usually quite small and not noticeable to the eye.

   Recipient Area Scarring: The small incisions made with the Choi pen or implanter tool are designed to heal quickly and leave small, barely visible scars. The aim is to create a natural-looking hairline without visible scarring. For this reason, the scars in the recipient area in the hair transplant operation are too small to be visible.
