Ultra Slit hair transplantation in Turkey is one of the latest techniques utilized in natural hair restoration procedures.
This article will offer a comprehensive examination of Ultra Slit technology, including its operating principle, advantages, significance in procedures, and the cost of hair transplantation using this method.
But before delving into the details, it is important to note that there are two types of hair transplantation:
- Natural hair transplantation uses hair taken from other areas of the body.
- Artificial hair transplantation using synthetic bio-fibers (biofilms), also known as Italian hair.
Occasionally, the body may reject or cause inflammation of transplanted Italian hair, which requires its removal after a certain period.
Therefore, the most suitable option is always natural hair transplantation.
What is an Ultra Slit Hair Transplant?
Ultra Slit, or micro-incision, is a microsurgical hair transplant procedure developed to create extremely fine incisions in the scalp to implant the extracted hair grafts [*].
[*] A hair graft is a small portion of tissue that contains one or more hair follicles, whereas a follicle, or follicular unit, is a single natural cluster of 1-4 hairs.
The goal of developing the Ultra Slit method was to maximize the density of hair follicles possible; at 70 follicles per square centimeter, or 175 to 200 hairs, it is the highest density currently achievable.
Therefore, Ultra Slit hair transplantation is considered one of the procedures for enhancing hair density, alongside Sapphire, Percutan, and DHI Pro techniques.
How Does Ultra Slit Hair Transplantation Work?
As with other Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) techniques, the Ultra Slit hair transplant procedure involves six main stages:
- Consultation and planning.
- Extraction of hair follicles from donor areas.
- Sorting and sterilizing the extracted follicles.
- Preparing the recipient area and creating the incisions.
- Implanting the grafts.
- Post-operative care.
The Ultra Slit technique is applied in the fourth stage mentioned above. The surgeon uses it to create tiny channels in the recipient area of the previously extracted and sterilized hair.
These channels/incisions are designed with meticulous precision, at a specific angle and distance, to align with natural hair growth patterns and achieve maximum density.

Key Features of the Ultra Slit Technique:
- Precision and Fineness: The hair channels are created very thin and accurately, allowing for better positioning of grafts and more natural hair growth patterns.
- Increased Hair Density: By creating smaller and more strategically placed slits, the technique allows for denser packing of grafts, resulting in a fuller look.
- Minimal Trauma: The fine slits prevent tissue damage and promote faster healing, leading to less post-operative discomfort and scarring.
- Natural Appearance: The precise placement helps match the natural hairline and hair growth angles, guaranteeing a more authentic look.
- Versatility: Suitable for numerous parts of the scalp, including the hairline, crown, and thinning zones.
Cost of Ultra Slit Hair Transplant in Turkey
The cost of hair transplantation using the super incision technique in Turkey ranges from $1,800 to $2,100 USD, including all additional services during a three-day stay.
Although some may consider the cost of hair transplantation using this technique somewhat high, it’s a technology that has demonstrated efficacy in this field.

How Do FUE Techniques Differ, and How to Choose the Right One?
Hair follicle extraction methods vary in their approach for creating channels in the scalp for hair implantation. The more precise the technique, the greater the likelihood of achieving a high-density hair transplant.
To clarify further:
- Ultra Slit, Percutan, and Sapphire FUE: Each can implant up to 7,000 hair follicles per session.
- DHI Pro Direct Implantation: This technique can implant up to 6,000 follicles in a single session.
- Traditional FUE: This method can transplant a maximum of 5,000 follicles.
- ARTAS Robotic: No cases have yet been recorded exceeding 5,000 follicular units.
Choosing the optimal technique requires a comprehensive assessment of each patient’s condition by the doctors, who estimate the number of hair follicles needed to cover the balding area.
Furthermore, this assessment should include an evaluation of the patient’s overall health, which ultimately results in the selection of the most appropriate hair transplant technique.
In fact, few people have a donor area rich enough for surgeons to extract more than 6,000 hair follicles.
This is crucial for achieving balanced hair density and preventing bald patches in the donor area after the transplant.
Therefore, at Camilia Clinic, our surgeons prefer the DHI and DHI Pro techniques for their advantages, unless the number of hair follicles required for transplantation exceeds 6,000.
