What is Hybrid Hair Transplant?

Hybrid Hair Transplant is an innovative approach that combines the best aspects of both FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) techniques in a single procedure. This revolutionary method maximizes hair density, ensures natural results, and provides the most comprehensive solution for hair restoration.

At Iconica International Clinic in Turkey, we have pioneered the Hybrid technique to offer our patients the ultimate hair transplant experience with superior results and faster recovery.

How Hybrid Hair Transplant Works

The Hybrid Process Combines:
  1. FUE Extraction Phase: Individual follicles are carefully extracted using precision micro-punches
  2. Strategic Planning: Donor grafts are sorted and allocated for optimal placement
  3. DHI Implantation Phase: Direct implantation using Choi Implanter Pens for maximum precision
  4. Density Optimization: Strategic combination ensures highest possible hair density
Dual-Phase Approach:
  • Phase 1: FUE extraction for maximum graft yield
  • Phase 2: DHI implantation for precise placement and natural angles

Advantages of Hybrid Hair Transplant

Superior Benefits:
  • Maximum Density: Combines extraction efficiency of FUE with precision of DHI
  • Natural Results: DHI placement ensures perfect angle and direction control
  • Higher Graft Survival: Minimized handling time and trauma
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for all hair loss patterns and stages
  • Customized Approach: Tailored technique selection for each scalp area
  • Optimal Coverage: Strategic planning for best aesthetic outcome
