Hair Transplant
A hair transplant is the only permanent solution for individuals experiencing hair thinning or hair loss. It involves transplanting hair follicles from a donor area of the body to the scalp. The donor area is typically the nape of the neck. Hair loss is not only an aesthetic issue but can also impact an individual’s psychological well-being, leading to a loss of self-confidence. Hair transplantation plays a crucial role in restoring a natural appearance and enhancing a person’s overall quality of life. At Lygos Clinic, we provide state-of-the-art treatment methods using the latest techniques. With a team of well-equipped and experienced specialists, our clinic is one of the most trusted options for hair transplantation.

FUE Hair Transplant
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
FUE hair transplant is one of the most advanced and preferred techniques. It is distinguished by the fact that no large incisions or stitches are required. Instead, individual hair follicles are extracted from the donor area and transplanted to the recipient area on the scalp. This process must be performed with great precision, as improper extraction can damage the grafts and compromise the success of the procedure.
Once the grafts are harvested, they are implanted into the recipient area one by one. Due to this meticulousness in the transplant process, the FUE hair transplant method may take a little longer than other techniques. This technique, in which micromotors are preferred instead of punches, is constantly updating itself.
FUE vs. FUT Comparison
FUT, one of the earliest hair transplant techniques, is now considered outdated. In this method, a strip of scalp is surgically removed from the donor area, which results in scarring and a longer recovery period.
In contrast, FUE does not involve cutting the scalp, allowing for a faster and smoother healing process. Additionally, FUT requires stitches, whereas FUE does not. Due to these advantages, FUT is rarely performed today, making FUE the preferred choice for most patients, due to its less invasion technique, allowing for faster healing and a more natural look.

Women’s Hair Transplant
Hair loss in women can have a significant psychological and aesthetic impact.
Many women try to address the issue with cosmetic products, but these can only enhance the thickness of existing hair—they do not stimulate new hair growth.
This is where hair transplantation for women comes in, offering a permanent solution to hair loss.
Understanding the Hair Growth Cycle
Before discussing hair loss, it is important to understand the normal hair growth cycle, which consists of three phases:
1. Anagen (Growth Phase): The active growth stage where hair follicles produce new hair. This phase lasts several years.
2.Catagen (Transition Phase): A short phase where hair growth slows down, lasting a few weeks.
3.Telogen (Resting Phase): Hair naturally falls out, and new hair begins to grow in its place. This phase lasts several months.
Common Causes of Hair Loss in Women
Hair loss in women can be caused by several factors, including:
- Hormonal Changes: Menopause-related hair loss is often linked to DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), a hormone that affects hair follicles.
- Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of iron, protein, vitamins A, C, D, and E can weaken hair structure, leading to hair loss.
- Anemia: Post-menstrual iron deficiency can contribute to excessive hair shedding.
- Medical Conditions: Disorders such as thyroid disease, diabetes, and autoimmune conditions can impact hair health.
- Genetic Factors: Family history plays a role in Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL).
Women experiencing hair loss should undergo medical check-ups and diagnostic tests to determine the underlying cause and the most suitable treatment.
Key Considerations for Female Hair Transplant
1.Identifying the Cause of Hair Loss
- A detailed consultation and medical evaluation are necessary to determine the root cause.
- Dermatologists consider losing 100-150 hairs per day as normal, but excessive shedding may require intervention.
2.Choosing the Right Donor Area
- The nape (back of the scalp) is typically the preferred donor area due to its healthy and resilient hair follicles.
- Patients with insufficient donor hair may not be ideal candidates for hair transplant.
3.Medical Eligibility
- Blood circulation is assessed, especially in patients with scalp injuries or burns.
- Patients with chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, HIV, Hepatitis B-E) must undergo further medical evaluation before surgery.
4.Pre-Procedure Guidelines
- Smoking and alcohol consumption should be stopped at least one week before the procedure, as they can affect healing.
- Following preoperative instructions enhances the success of the transplant.
Types of Hair Loss in Women
Hair loss in women typically falls into three categories:
How Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL) Progresses
Thinning at the Crown: Many women experience widening of the part line and thinning at the crown.
Decreased Hair Density: Hair strands become thinner and weaker, leading to a reduction in overall volume.
Genetics: A family history of hair loss, especially on the mother's side, is an important factor. Genetic predisposition; It may make hair follicles more sensitive to the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which contributes to the miniaturization of hair.
Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations play a role in FPHL. This includes changes related to aging, pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, and conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases, and nutritional deficiencies, can contribute to hair loss in women.
Stress: High levels of physical or emotional stress can trigger or exacerbate hair loss. Stress can disrupt the normal hair growth cycle.
Hair Styling Practices: Excessive or tight hair styling practices, such as tight ponytails or braids, can cause a type of hair loss called traction alopecia.
Medications: Some medications, such as some birth control pills, anticoagulants and chemotherapy drugs, can cause hair loss as a side effect.
Factors Contributing to
Hair Loss in Women
Diagnosis and Treatment Options
If you suspect hair loss, consult a dermatologist or hair specialist for a thorough diagnosis. Evaluations may include:
- Blood Tests to check for nutritional deficiencies and hormonal imbalances.
- Scalp Biopsy to analyze hair follicle health.
Treatment Options
Depending on the diagnosis, the following treatments may be recommended:
- 1.Topical Medications: Minoxidil is commonly used to slow hair loss and promote regrowth.
- 2.Oral Medications: Hormonal treatments or supplements may be prescribed.

Sedation Anesthesia in Hair Transplantation
Sedation Anesthesia, commonly referred to as sedation, is a medical technique used to induce relaxation, calmness, and drowsiness during a medical or surgical procedure. Unlike general anesthesia, which renders the patient completely unconscious, sedation allows the patient to remain partially conscious yet deeply relaxed throughout the procedure.
Sedation is typically administered intravenously by an anesthesiologist, with its intensity adjusted based on the patient’s needs and the complexity of the procedure.
Patient Evaluation
Before the procedure, a comprehensive medical assessment is conducted to determine the patient’s suitability for hair transplantation with sedation. The evaluation includes:
- Medical History Review –Checking for any underlying health conditions or medications that may affect sedation.
- Scalp Condition Assessment – Evaluating the extent of hair loss, donor area quality, and overall scalp health.
- Sedation Suitability – Determining whether the patient can safely undergo sedation based on their health status.
Anesthesia & Sedation Process
1. Intravenous Sedation
- Sedation is administered intravenously (IV) to induce a deep state of relaxation and drowsiness.
- The level of sedation varies from mild to moderate, depending on the patient’s preference and the surgeon’s recommendation.
2. Local Anesthesia Administration
- The patient is given local anesthesia to numb the donor and recipient areas of the scalp, ensuring a painless experience during graft extraction and implantation.
3. Continuous Monitoring
- The patient’s vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels) are closely monitored throughout the procedure.
- If necessary, adjustments to the sedation level are made to ensure maximum comfort and safety.
Follow-up
The patient's vital signs and comfort level are monitored throughout the procedure. Necessary adjustments to sedation or anesthesia may be made to maintain the patient's well-being and relaxation.

- Sudden Swelling After the Procedure: Swelling usually begins to develop shortly after the hair transplant procedure, usually within the first 24 to 48 hours.
- Causes of Edema: Various factors contribute to the development of edema after hair transplant.
- Inflammation: The surgical process, which involves creating small incisions and placing grafts, triggers an inflammatory response in the body. This inflammation can cause fluid retention and swelling.
- Local Anesthesia: Using local anesthesia during the procedure may cause swelling in the forehead, donor and recipient areas.
- Swelling: Manipulation of the scalp during the procedure can cause minor trauma and cause swelling as the body responds to the procedure.
- Gravity: The effects of gravity can cause fluid to accumulate in the lower areas of the scalp, causing swelling.
- Note: This affect is completely normal, after a Hair Transplant.
Hair Transplantation Shedding Process (Shock Hair Loss)
It is important to consult the professional team at the aesthetic clinic for personalized guidance on post-transplant care and expectations. While shedding is a temporary phase, it is a positive sign that the transplanted hair follicles are preparing to regrow and contribute to fuller hair in the long term.
Immediate Appearance After Transplant: After hair transplant, the transplanted area will generally have a fuller appearance. This is because newly implanted grafts contain hair strands that were already in the growth phase when they were transplanted.
Shock Shedding: It is common for the transplanted hair to go through a phase called "shock shedding" in the weeks following the procedure. This stage can occur for several reasons:
- The trauma of the transplant process can temporarily disrupt the hair growth cycle.
- Newly transplanted hair may enter the resting phase and cause shedding.
- The body's response to this may cause temporary hair loss in the recipient area.
Timing and Amount of Shedding: Shock loss usually begins within 2 to 8 weeks after hair transplant. It is important to remember that not all of the transplanted hair may not fall out and the degree of loss may vary from patient to patient.
Temporary Shedding: During the shedding phase, you may notice that the transplanted hair is also falling out along with some of the existing hair in the transplanted area. It is important to remember that this is a temporary phenomenon.
Continued Growth: After the shedding phase, the hair follicles in the recipient area are still be active and healthy. Over time, new hair begins to grow again. It may take several months for visible growth to begin and gradually improve over the following months.
Growth of New Hair: New hair growing from transplanted follicles tends to be thinner at first. Over time, it will thicken and become more similar in texture to the patient's natural hair.
Patience is the Key: The shedding phase and subsequent regrowth are two very important parts of the healing process. It is important for patients to be patient and understand that it may take a year or longer for the final results of hair transplant to be fully evident.
Follow-up: Patients will often have follow-ups with the clinic's medical consultant to monitor progress and make sure everything is progressing as expected.
Maintenance and Long Term Care: To preserve the results of hair transplant, patients may be recommended long-term care, including the use of treatments that support hair growth and health.
Stem Cell Hair Transplant
Stem cell hair transplant is a relatively new technique and is an area of research that continues to be effective in the long term. It is important for patients to have realistic expectations and consult with an experienced surgeon who specializes in this procedure to determine whether this is the right choice for their specific hair restoration needs.
Stem Cell Collection: Stem cells for the procedure can be obtained from various sources, including the patient's own fatty tissue, bone marrow or blood (platelet-rich plasma or PRP). Each source has its own advantages; Therefore, the surgeon decides which one is most suitable according to the patient's condition.
Processing and Isolation: After the stem cells are collected, they are processed and isolated in the laboratory. This involves separating the stem cells from other components of the source material.
Anesthesia: On the day of the procedure, local anesthesia is applied to the scalp to ensure the patient's comfort during the surgery.
Combination with PRP (Optional): In some cases, isolated stem cells can be combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). PRP contains growth factors that can further promote the health and growth of the hair follicle.
Microneedling: Microneedling, a minimally invasive technique, is often used in conjunction with stem cell transplant. It involves creating small micro-injuries on the scalp with a special device. This stimulates blood flow, increases the absorption of stem cells and promotes hair follicle regeneration.
Stem Cell Injection: The isolated stem cells are then carefully injected into areas of the scalp where hair loss or thinning occurs. These injections are typically given at various depths to target different layers of the scalp.
Rescue and Tracking: After the procedure, patients are given postoperative care instructions. There is usually little or no downtime. Patients can usually resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
Results and Follow-up Appointments: Over time, patients may see improvement in the thickness and quality of their hair. However, more than one session may be required to achieve the best results. It is important to schedule follow-up appointments with the surgeon to monitor progress and determine the need for additional treatments.
Maintenance: To maintain the benefits of stem cell hair transplant, patients may be advised to use certain hair care products and undergo periodic touch-up sessions.
