MicroFUE Hair Transplant
0.6–0.8mm micro punch technology. No scarring. 95%+ graft survival. Natural, permanent results — performed by ISHRS-certified surgeons in Trabzon, Turkey.
What is MicroFUE?
MicroFUE (Micro Follicular Unit Extraction) is an evolution of the standard FUE hair transplant technique. While classic FUE uses punch tools of 1.0–1.2mm in diameter, MicroFUE employs ultra-fine punches of just 0.6–0.8mm — roughly half the size.
This seemingly small difference has a profound impact on outcomes. The smaller punch diameter means each follicle is extracted with significantly less surrounding tissue damage. The circular micro-wounds heal within days, leaving no perceptible marks even with very short hair.
At Trabzon Hair Center, we have been performing MicroFUE since our founding in 2016, accumulating deep expertise that translates directly into better results for our patients. Our average graft survival rate of 95%+ is one of the highest in Turkey.

6 Advantages of MicroFUE
Ultra-Fine Micro Punch
We use 0.6–0.8mm punch tools — 30–40% smaller than standard FUE. This results in circular micro-wounds that heal invisibly, leaving zero scarring in the donor area.
Higher Graft Survival
The precision of MicroFUE means less mechanical trauma to each graft during extraction. Combined with our specialized storage solution, 95%+ of grafts survive to grow new hair.
Faster Donor Healing
Smaller extraction wounds close within 5–7 days with no sutures required. Most patients return to work within 10 days with the donor area fully healed.
Maximum Natural Density
MicroFUE allows us to harvest from a wider donor zone more safely, enabling up to 4,500 grafts in a single session for patients with dense donor areas.
No Visible Scarring
Unlike strip FUT surgery, MicroFUE leaves no linear scar. Even with a very short haircut (grade 1–2), no extraction marks are visible to the naked eye.
Combined with Needle-Free Anesthesia
Every MicroFUE procedure at our clinic is performed under needle-free anesthesia — completely eliminating injection discomfort and making the entire session pain-free.
Your MicroFUE Journey
From first consultation to 12-month follow-up — here is exactly what happens at each stage of your hair transplant.
Consultation & Trichoscopy Analysis
Our senior surgeon analyses your scalp using advanced trichoscopy, classifies your hair loss on the Norwood scale, and designs a custom hairline with your input. You receive a detailed plan including graft count and expected density.
Needle-Free Anesthesia
Our FDA-approved pressurized anesthesia device delivers complete scalp numbing in 2–3 minutes without a single needle. You feel only a light air pressure sensation. The anesthesia is refreshed as needed throughout the session.
Micro Graft Extraction
Using 0.6–0.8mm micro punch tools, individual follicular units are extracted from the donor zone (typically the back and sides of the scalp). Grafts are immediately placed in a specialized preservation solution to maintain viability.
Recipient Channel Creation
The surgeon creates micro-channels in the recipient area at precise angles matching your hair's natural growth pattern. The angle, direction, and density of channel placement determines the naturalness of the final result.
Graft Implantation
Harvested grafts are carefully placed into each micro-channel by our specialist implantation team. Single-hair grafts are placed along the hairline for a natural look; multi-hair grafts provide density behind.
Post-Op Care & 12-Month Follow-Up
You receive a complete aftercare kit and detailed instructions. Our team monitors your progress at 1, 3, 6, and 12-month milestones via online consultations. PRP sessions are available to accelerate growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
QHow many grafts can be transplanted in one MicroFUE session?
We can safely transplant 2,000–4,500 grafts in a single day, depending on your donor area density and the size of the recipient zone. During consultation, our surgeon will provide an exact estimate based on your personal hair profile.
QHow long does a MicroFUE procedure take?
The procedure typically takes 6–8 hours from start to finish. You can eat, take short breaks, and watch TV during the session. You go home the same day — no hospital stay required.
QIs MicroFUE painful?
No. When combined with our needle-free anesthesia system, patients experience no pain during the entire procedure. Mild tenderness in the scalp for 1–2 days after is normal and easily managed with standard pain relief.
QWhen will I see the final results?
Transplanted hair sheds within 2–4 weeks (completely normal — the follicle stays). New growth begins from month 3–4, becomes clearly visible by month 6, and the final density is achieved by month 12–18.
QIs MicroFUE permanent?
Yes. The transplanted follicles are taken from the DHT-resistant donor zone (back of scalp) and are genetically programmed not to fall out. Results are lifelong.
QWill there be visible scars in the donor area?
No visible scarring. The 0.6–0.8mm micro punch leaves tiny dot marks that are invisible even at grade 1 (3mm) hair length. Unlike FUT strip surgery, there is no linear scar.
