Hair Transplantation Expertise

Dr. Portakal works with different modern hair transplantation techniques and evaluates each patient's individual characteristics before determining the most appropriate treatment approach.

FUE Hair Transplantation

FUE is a modern hair transplantation technique in which individual follicular units are carefully extracted from the donor area and transplanted into areas affected by hair loss.

Sapphire FUE

Sapphire FUE is an advanced application of the FUE technique in which specially designed sapphire blades are used during the channel-opening stage. The procedure can be customized according to the patient's hair characteristics and desired density.

DHI Hair Transplantation

DHI is a hair transplantation technique that utilizes specialized implantation devices to place extracted hair follicles into the recipient area. It allows precise control over the placement, direction, and angle of the grafts.

Arşimed Hair Transplantation

The Arşimed method is a newly developed and patented hair transplantation method used at the clinic where Dr. Portakal practices.

The technique is incorporated into an individualized treatment plan based on the patient's hair characteristics, donor area, pattern of hair loss, available grafts, and aesthetic expectations.

Personalized Hair Transplantation Planning

Dr. Portakal believes that hair transplantation should be individually planned rather than applying the same technique to every patient.

During the assessment and treatment planning process, particular attention is given to:

Type and degree of hair loss

Donor area capacity

Hair thickness and structure

Existing hair density

Existing hairline

Facial proportions and features

Patient's aesthetic expectations

Potential future hair loss

Available graft quantity and distribution

Based on these factors, the most appropriate technique and treatment strategy can be determined for each patient.

Treatment Approach

Dr. Portakal's primary goal is to make effective use of the patient's existing hair resources while aiming to achieve a natural, balanced, and aesthetically harmonious appearance.

His treatment planning focuses on:

Individualized hair transplantation planning

Natural-looking hairline design

Balanced graft distribution

Preservation and effective use of the donor area

Appropriate consideration of natural hair direction and angulation

Harmonization with existing hair

Long-term hair restoration planning

Pre-procedure assessment and post-procedure follow-up
