FUE training curriculum and course outline
The HTTC curriculum follows a hair transplant procedure from consultation and preoperative planning to extraction, implantation and postoperative care. Training at HLC Hairline Clinic in Ankara combines explanations and demonstrations with supervised practical work on real patients.
Patient evaluation and treatment planning
The first part of the programme covers patient evaluation, preoperative assessment and the proposed treatment approach. Teaching connects donor-area assessment with hairline design, graft requirements and the patient’s expectations.
The learning focus is the reasoning behind a treatment plan: what the donor area can contribute, where grafts are to be placed and how the procedure is organised. Case discussion provides a setting to examine these choices with the instructor.
Manual and powered FUE extraction
Training covers manual FUE punches and motorised extraction instruments, including the PCID from Cole Instruments. Practical instruction addresses instrument handling, punch selection, extraction angle and depth, followed by examination of the extracted grafts.
Working with both manual and powered tools gives participants a basis for discussing their handling and differences. Device descriptions and performance figures are not guarantees of a trainee’s results.
Body hair transplantation
The curriculum includes body hair transplantation (BHT), with beard and chest hair among the donor areas discussed. Teaching considers differences between scalp and body hair alongside extraction and placement. BHT and repair topics can form part of a programme for doctors developing their existing FUE practice.
Graft preparation and care
This module follows the graft after extraction: examination, preparation, storage and handling before implantation. Participants learn how this stage fits into the work of the surgical team and how graft handling connects extraction with placement.
Recipient-site creation and implantation
Topics include recipient-site preparation using techniques and instruments such as lateral slits, micro blades and needles. Hairline design, graft direction, temple angles and placement density are considered alongside the implantation method.
The course covers forceps and implanter use and stick-and-place implantation. Demonstration and supervised practice connect instrument technique with the planned graft position and direction.
Postoperative care
Teaching continues beyond graft placement. The curriculum includes wound care, instructions after the procedure, medication topics, patient support and follow-up. These are subjects for clinical instruction; this page does not provide a treatment or prescribing protocol.
How topics connect with practical learning
| Module | Learning focus | Teaching activity |
|---|---|---|
| Consultation | Explain the considerations behind a proposed plan | Patient evaluation and case discussion |
| Extraction | Develop instrument handling and recognise graft characteristics | Demonstration and supervised manual or powered FUE practice |
| Graft care | Understand preparation and handling within the workflow | Graft preparation and discussion with the clinical team |
| Implantation | Connect site preparation and graft placement with the design | Demonstration and supervised practical instruction |
| Postoperative care | Understand the care discussed after the procedure | Review of wound care, patient instructions and follow-up topics |
These learning objectives do not mean that attendance alone establishes clinical competence. The instructor provides feedback during practical work; the emphasis of each module follows the agreed programme.
Choose the scope of your programme
HTTC offers training from one day to four weeks, one-to-one or in small groups of up to three. A shorter visit can concentrate on selected techniques; a longer programme allows more time across the workflow.
