When considering any medical procedure, it’s essential to weigh the associated costs and the availability of the treatment. The same goes for Micro Sapphire DHI hair transplants. While the benefits and advantages of this procedure have been discussed in previous sections, it is crucial to assess whether it is an affordable and accessible option for those seeking a hair loss solution.

The cost of a Micro Sapphire DHI hair transplant can vary depending on several factors, such as the extent of hair loss, the number of grafts required, and the reputation and expertise of the clinic or surgeon performing the procedure. Generally, this type of hair transplant can range from $5,000 to $15,000 in the United States and other Western nations.

The availability of Micro Sapphire DHI is also a crucial consideration. Only some clinics or surgeons offer this specific technique, as it requires specialized training and equipment. While the cost may seem high, the long-term benefits and increased self-confidence that can come with a successful hair transplant may outweigh the initial investment.

At Cosmedica, we are happy to offer our patients all-inclusive Micro Sapphire DHI packages for as little as 2990€. What makes hair transplants, including the Micro Sapphire DHI technique, so affordable in Turkey is a combination of various economic, medical, and geographical factors, such as lower operating costs, a favorable exchange rate, government support, competition among clinics, a large number of procedures carried out and more.

A FUE hair transplant, also known as Follicular Unit Extraction, is a **minimally invasive** hair restoration procedure. This technique involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area (typically the back or sides of the head) with a micropunch.

The healthy follicular unit, also called a hair graft, forms the foundation for new hair growth. A follicular unit (graft) comprises up to 4 hairs. Human scalp hair does not usually grow from several scattered individual hairs but is arranged in these units.

These follicles are carefully selected based on their viability and then implanted into tiny incisions in the recipient area. The precision of this process ensures that the transplanted hair grows naturally and seamlessly with the existing hair. Unlike traditional strip harvesting methods like FUT, **FUE does not leave a noticeable scar**, leading to faster recovery and less discomfort.

For unknown reasons, hair in the donor area is **resistant to the hormone Dihydrotestosterone** (DHT), which causes hair loss, and this guarantees the treatment’s success.
