Enrich Your Hair with Micro-Graft Treatment

Hair loss is a common and disturbing problem for both men and women. Genetic factors, aging, stress or environmental factors can cause hair to thin and fall out. In addition to traditional treatment methods, one of the innovative solutions offered by modern medicine is the Micro-Graft treatment.

What is Micro-Graft Treatment and How is it Applied?

Micro-Graft treatment, also known as Autologous Micro Graft or Regenera Activa , is a regenerative method based on the principle of injecting a cell suspension obtained from the person's own tissue into the scalp. In this process, small (approximately 2-3 mm in diameter) tissue samples are taken from the nape of the neck, behind the ear, where hair follicles are dense. These samples are processed mechanically using a special device (such as the clinically used Tlab Dermomine), resulting in a suspension containing a high concentration of stem cells, growth factors and other regenerative cells.

The resulting 🧬 cell-rich suspension is injected into areas where hair is thin or falling out with fine needles. These regenerative cells stimulate the hair follicles in the area, increase blood circulation, activate dormant hair follicles and help strengthen and thicken existing hair strands. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes an average of 30 minutes.

In Which Situations Should It Be Preferred?

Micro-Graft treatment is an ideal option especially for cases where hair loss is at the beginning or middle level. It is used to strengthen existing hair and support new hair growth in people who notice thinning hair strands and a decrease in hair density. It can also be preferred to support the process before or after hair transplantation surgery in male and female pattern hair loss. It is also an effective alternative for people who do not want to have hair transplantation or are not suitable for surgery.

The Science Behind Micro-Grafting: Mechanical Separation

The scientific basis of Micro-Graft treatment is based on our body’s ability to repair and renew itself. Tissue samples taken from the nape of the neck are rich in stem cells and growth factors necessary for the renewal of hair follicles. Special devices used (such as Tlab Dermomine) break down this tissue by mechanical separation and create a suspension containing live and active regenerative cells. This mechanical separation preserves the vitality of the cells and allows them to show maximum effect in the area where they are injected. The resulting suspension positively affects the hair growth cycle by increasing the vascularization that feeds the hair follicles and triggering cellular renewal.

Why Does Combination with PRP Increase Effects?

While micro-graft application initiates a natural renewal by transferring live cells obtained from hair follicles or skin tissue to the target area; PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) maximizes cell repair with growth factors that accelerate and support this process. The high platelet content of PRP ensures that the cells transferred with the micro-graft remain alive and adhere more strongly to the area. Thanks to this synergy, more effective results are obtained against hair loss and a visible improvement is achieved in skin renewal protocols.

Application Steps: An Effective Solution in 30 Minutes

Micro-Graft treatment is a comfortable and quick procedure. The procedure steps generally include:

⏱ Preparation: The area of the scalp to be treated (usually the nape of the neck or behind the ear) is numbed with local anesthesia.
✂ Tissue Sampling: 2-3 small tissue samples are taken from this area painlessly using special, small-diameter instruments.
🧪 Processing: The tissue samples taken are processed for approximately 15-20 minutes in a special device used clinically (such as Tlab Dermomine) and converted into a suspension with a high concentration of regenerative cells.
💉 Injection: The prepared suspension is carefully injected with fine needles into the areas with hair loss or thinning.

The entire procedure is usually completed within 30 minutes and the patient can return to their daily life immediately.

Who is it suitable for, who is it not for?

Micro-Graft treatment is suitable for most people who have hair loss problems and want to strengthen their hair. Successful results are obtained especially in the early stages of genetic hair loss, in individuals with thinning and sparse hair. Both men and women can benefit from this treatment. However, it may not be effective alone in completely hairless areas or areas where hair follicles are completely absent. In such cases, hair transplantation may be a more suitable option or it can be combined with Micro-Graft hair transplantation. It may not be suitable for those with active skin infections or certain chronic conditions. Our specialist doctors at our AuraDent clinic will perform a detailed examination to evaluate your suitability for treatment.

Exosome, PRF and Micro-Graft: Which One at Which Stage? Combined Treatment

Regenerative methods used in the treatment of hair loss include Exosome, PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin) and Micro-Graft (Autologous Micro Graft). The mechanism of action and area of use of each may differ:

✅ PRF: It is a clot obtained from the person's own blood, rich in platelets and growth factors. It helps nourish and revitalize hair follicles. It is mostly used to improve general hair quality and slow down hair loss.
✅ Exosomes: They are very small vesicles secreted from stem cells, containing growth factors, proteins and genetic material. They provide strong support for tissue regeneration by providing communication between cells. They are a promising option, especially in advanced cases of hair loss or cases that do not respond to other treatments.
✅ Micro-Graft: Contains regenerative cells obtained from tissue particles taken from the person's own scalp, directly targeting the hair follicles and the surrounding support tissue. It is effective in increasing hair follicle activation and vascularization.

These treatments can be alternatives to each other, or combined treatments can be planned. For example, after activating the hair follicles with Micro-Graft, stronger results can be achieved by supporting them with PRF or Exosome treatment. Our experts at our AuraDent clinic will decide which treatment or combination is most suitable for you after a detailed evaluation. Our aim is to offer the most up-to-date and effective methods to maximize your hair health.

Risk Factors and Aftercare

Micro-Graft treatment is generally quite safe and has low serious risks due to the use of the person's own tissue. Rarely, slight redness, swelling or tenderness may be observed in the treatment area, which will go away on their own within a few days. The risk of infection is minimal. It usually does not require special care after the procedure. It may be recommended to avoid contact with water in the treatment area for the first 24-48 hours. Simple precautions such as avoiding heavy exercise and avoiding direct sunlight are sufficient. Our doctors in our clinic will give you detailed information about the points you should pay attention to after the procedure.
