Hair Transplant

A hair transplant is a medical procedure that helps restore hair by moving healthy hair follicles from one part of the body, usually the back or sides of the scalp, to areas experiencing hair loss. It is commonly used to treat male and female pattern baldness. The procedure is minimally invasive and can provide natural-looking, permanent results. Recovery time is relatively short, and most patients resume normal activities within a few days. Hair transplants have become increasingly popular due to advancements in technology and techniques, offering a confidence boost to those struggling with hair thinning or baldness.

What is a Hair Transplant?

Hair transplant is a clinically proven and effective surgical solution to hair loss, involving the meticulous extraction of healthy hair follicles—usually from the back or sides of the scalp—and their precise implantation into thinning or balding areas. This minimally invasive procedure is particularly effective for individuals experiencing male or female pattern baldness, receding hairlines, or thinning crowns.

Modern hair transplant techniques, such as FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation), have significantly enhanced both the natural appearance and long-term success of the results. The treatment is performed under local or sedation anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort throughout the procedure.

A hair transplant not only restores hair density but also boosts self-confidence and improves overall appearance. With advancements in technology and experienced medical teams—like those at Lygos Clinic—patients can now enjoy natural-looking, permanent results with minimal downtime and visible improvements within a few months.

Whether you’re dealing with hereditary hair loss or seeking a solution to thinning hair, a hair transplant offers a reliable, long-term remedy tailored to your individual needs.

FUE Sapphire Hair Transplant

FUE Sapphire is a modern hair transplant method that uses sapphire-tipped blades to create precise micro-incisions in the scalp. These V-shaped incisions allow for denser graft placement, minimal tissue damage, and faster healing compared to traditional steel tools.

The sapphire blades enable hair follicles to be implanted at the ideal angle and depth, ensuring a natural appearance and higher graft survival. Thanks to reduced trauma, patients experience less scarring, quicker recovery, and more aesthetic results.

At Lygos Clinic, we specialize in FUE Sapphire to deliver high-density, natural-looking hair transplants with minimal downtime.

Sapphire FUE Advantages

  • Precise incisions with minimal trauma
  • Reduced scarring and faster recovery
  • Natural-looking density and angles

Duration of the Sapphire FUE Procedure

Depending on the number of grafts, the procedure lasts between 6 to 8 hours, typically completed in a single session.

6 – 8 Hours

DHI Hair Transplant

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is an advanced technique that uses a Choi implanter pen to place hair follicles directly into the scalp without the need for prior incisions. This allows for greater precision, as the extraction and implantation steps are done almost simultaneously.

DHI offers excellent control over the angle, depth, and direction of each graft, resulting in a very natural hairline and appearance. It's especially ideal for patients seeking dense, detailed restoration in specific areas like the hairline, eyebrows, or beard.

At Lygos Clinic, we perform DHI transplants with the highest standards, ensuring minimally invasive, scar-free results and a fast recovery process.

DHI Method Advantages

  • No need to shave the recipient area
  • Maximum control over depth and angle
  • Excellent for eyebrow and beard transplants

Duration of the DHI Procedure

DHI sessions can last 7–9 hours, with recovery starting immediately after the procedure.

7 – 9 Hours

Hybrid Hair Transplant

Hybrid hair transplantation combines the strengths of both FUE and DHI techniques, allowing for a personalized approach tailored to different areas of the scalp. FUE is typically used for bulk extraction and wide coverage, while DHI is applied for high-precision areas like the hairline.

This method is ideal for patients with complex or advanced hair loss, as it offers both density and design flexibility. By blending both techniques, it ensures natural-looking results, optimal graft survival, and efficient use of donor hair.

At Lygos Clinic, we customize hybrid transplants based on each patient’s needs to achieve maximum effectiveness and aesthetic balance.

Hybrid Method Advantages

  • Tailored solutions for different scalp areas
  • Higher graft survival rate
  • Enhanced aesthetic outcomes

Duration of the Hybrid Method Procedure

Hybrid sessions may take 8 to 10 hours depending on the scope of the procedure.

8 – 10 Hours

Hair Transplant Donor Area

The Hair Transplant Donor Area is the region from which hair follicles are extracted, typically the back of the scalp, as these hairs are resistant to hair loss. The quality of the donor area greatly influences the overall success of the transplant. At Lygos Clinic, patients experience excellent results in their donor areas, with minimal scarring and a natural appearance. Thanks to advanced techniques and a skilled medical team, recovery is smooth and the outcomes are consistently impressive.

Edema After Hair Transplant

Edema, or mild swelling, is a common and temporary side effect that can occur after a hair transplant procedure. This swelling usually appears around the forehead, eyes, and scalp within the first few days following the surgery. It is caused by the body’s natural inflammatory response to the trauma of the transplantation process. While it can look alarming, edema is generally harmless and resolves on its own within 3 to 5 days.

At Lygos Clinic, we recommend applying cold compresses to the affected areas to help reduce swelling faster. Additionally, our doctors may prescribe anti-inflammatory medications to alleviate discomfort and minimize edema. Following post-op care instructions carefully will further accelerate the healing process and prevent complications. Patients are advised to sleep with their heads elevated and avoid strenuous activities during this period to promote quicker recovery.

EDEMA AFTER HAIR TRANSPLANT

Shock Hair Loss

Shock hair loss, also known as telogen effluvium, is a temporary shedding phase that can occur after a hair transplant. This phenomenon happens when transplanted and existing hairs enter a resting phase due to the trauma and stress of the surgery. Although it may be distressing to see hair thinning shortly after the procedure, it is a completely normal part of the hair restoration journey.

Typically, shock hair loss occurs within the first 2 to 6 weeks post-transplant and lasts for a few weeks to a couple of months. Importantly, this shedding phase is followed by a period of new hair growth, as follicles enter the active growth phase (anagen). Patients can expect to see visible, healthy hair regrowth within 3 to 6 months, with full results appearing around 9 to 12 months after the procedure.

At Lygos Clinic, we provide detailed guidance and support throughout this phase to reassure patients and optimize treatment outcomes.

SHOCK LOSS AFTER HAIR TRANSPLANT

Stemcell Hair Transplant

The Stemcell Hair Transplant is an innovative advancement in hair restoration that combines traditional hair transplantation with stem cell therapy. This cutting-edge method leverages the regenerative properties of stem cells to stimulate hair follicle growth, improve graft survival, and accelerate the healing process.

During the procedure, stem cells are harvested from the patient’s own body, often from fat tissue or bone marrow, and then applied to the scalp alongside the transplanted follicles. This approach enhances the scalp environment, promotes tissue regeneration, and can improve the density and thickness of the newly growing hair.

Ideal for patients seeking long-lasting and natural results, stem cell therapy is particularly beneficial for those with advanced hair loss or poor donor areas. At Lygos Clinic, we integrate the latest stem cell technologies with our expert surgical techniques to provide personalized, state-of-the-art hair restoration solutions.
