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.

FUE Hair Transplant

FUE Follicular Unit Extraction

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FUT, one of the earliest hair transplant techniques, is now considered outdated.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.

FUE Sapphire Hair Transplant Advantages
  • The absence of cutting or large incisions minimizes the risk of scarring.
  • The donor area is typically the nape of the neck, but in some cases, hair from the lower beard can be used as a donor area.
  • Local anesthesia and sedation ensures a pain-free procedure.
  • Noticeable hair growth begins within 4-6 months, with full results achieved in 12 to 18 months.
  • The transplanted hair is natural-looking, permanent, and healthy.
  • The use of sapphire-tipped blades minimizes tissue trauma and accelerates healing.
  • This technique ensures a natural-looking hairline and denser hair growth.
  • The transplanted hair is permanent and maintains its natural characteristics.
  • The precision of sapphire blades allows for linear incisions, ensuring optimal follicle placement.
FUE Hair Transplant Extraction & Implementation Methods
Micro FUE Hair Transplant

Micro FUE uses micro-sized extraction tools (0.6 to 0.9 mm in diameter) to remove grafts with minimal tissue damage. This technique helps preserve the hair follicles and their surrounding structures.

Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant

This method utilizes sapphire-tipped instruments instead of traditional metal blades. The use of sapphire allows for more precise incisions, reduces tissue trauma, and shortens the healing period by minimizing scabbing.

FUE Hair Transplant Implementation Methods
Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant Procedure

Before the procedure, a comprehensive evaluation is conducted. Once the donor area is determined, the necessary number of grafts is calculated, and a hairline design is prepared. Sedation is administered to ensure patient comfort. The grafts are extracted one by one and preserved in a specialized solution.

The recipient area is then prepared using sapphire-tipped instruments, and the extracted grafts are transplanted meticulously. Following the procedure, patients must adhere to aftercare instructions, including proper medication use and scalp care, to achieve the best possible results.

Sapphire FUE

Hair Transplant Technique

The sapphire FUE method, which is one of the methods generally preferred by those who want to have hair transplant, is checked before the method. There should not be any obstacle for the patient to be treated. If the patient's hair loss condition is treatable, treatments that prevent hair loss are performed. If the desired results cannot be obtained from the treatments applied and it is decided that the patient should transplant, sapphire FUE hair transplant comes into play.

There are several issues that the patient should pay attention to before undergoing sapphire FUE hair transplant operation. The patient who will have the necessary conversations with his/her doctor before the procedure should follow these rules:

1.

Smokers should stop or reduce smoking at least one week before the procedure.

2.

Alcohol, coffee, and caffeine consumption should be avoided for one week before the transplant.

3.

No hair products such as gels, sprays, or lotions should be applied for one week before the procedure.

4.

Patients should inform their doctor about any medications they are taking and follow medical advice regarding their use.

5.

Blood-thinning supplements and multivitamins should be discontinued before the operation to prevent complications.

6.

Since the procedure takes approximately 6-7 hours, patients should wear comfortable clothing and to avoid disturbing the donor and recipient areas post-surgery.

Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant Advantages
  • One of the most striking points among the advantages of sapphire FUE hair transplant is the use of sapphire tips. In this way, tissue damage is prevented and the healing time is reduced.
  • This method, which is one of the most modern techniques of today, makes it easier to transplant hair follicles and ensures the formation of a natural-looking hairline.
  • It is one of the most ideal options for a lifelong usable hair.
  • Thanks to the use of a sapphire blade, the angle of the incisions is realised in a linear manner.

DHI Hair Transplant Technique

The DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) technique is performed using a specialized tool called the Choi Implanter Pen. This pen, which ranges in size from 0.5 to 1.5 millimeters, allows for direct implantation of hair follicles without the need for pre-made incisions.

DHI is one of the most advanced and precise hair transplant techniques, making it an ideal choice for patients who have experienced hair thinning but want to maintain a natural appearance and the condition of their existing hair.

What is DHI Hair Transplant?

DHI hair transplant is a modern implantation technique that utilizes the Choi Implanter Pen to directly place hair follicles into the recipient area without the need for channel opening. One of the biggest advantages of DHI is that in some cases it does not require shaving the entire head, making it a preferred option for individuals who want a discreet hair transplant. Additionally, this method is particularly useful for areas where channel opening is difficult, such as regions with existing hair.

What is the Choi Pen?

The Choi Pen is a high-precision tool that gives the DHI technique its alternative name, the Choi method.

This instrument features a thin, cylindrical, sharp-tipped structure, allowing doctors to directly implant hair grafts into the scalp with enhanced accuracy. By using this pen, the hair transplant process becomes faster, more efficient, and minimally invasive.

Suitable Candidates for DHI Hair Transplant

DHI hair transplant is suitable for both men and women experiencing hair loss. This technique is particularly recommended for:

Women’s Hair Transplant

Women 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:

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
2.Choosing the Right Donor Area
3.Medical Eligibility
4.Pre-Procedure Guidelines
Types of Hair Loss in Women

Hair loss in women typically falls into three categories:

Type 1

Minimal hair thinning, mostly at the top of the scalp, which is not immediately noticeable.

Type 2

Progressive thinning that becomes more visible. This is often the ideal stage for a hair transplant.

Type 3

Advanced hair loss where the scalp becomes clearly visible. Urgent intervention is required to restore hair density.

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.

Factors Contributing to Hair Loss in Women

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.

Follow-Up & Final Results

Hair transplantation offers a long-term solution for women experiencing hair loss. However, realistic expectations and a customized treatment plan are essential for achieving the best results. Consulting with an experienced hair transplant specialist ensures the highest success rate and the most natural-looking outcome.

Hair Transplant Procedure

The first interview with the patient by an experienced doctor is considered the beginning of the hair transplant process in women. The cause of hair loss, medications used and past illnesses are discussed in this interview.

While the patient expresses her/his expectations, the doctor helps to determine the most appropriate method.

After all these interviews, the patient is given a comprehensive analysis. Which method will be suitable for hair loss and the place to be determined as a healthy donor area are revealed after this stage. Generally, the nape of the neck is preferred as the donor area in many patients.

After the examination, the most critical stage of the hair transplant process in women is started. You should make sure that you choose the right hospital for this procedure, which must be performed in a very meticulous and hygienic environment.

In the hair transplant operation, the grafts collected from the donor area of the patient are transplanted into the hair loss area. Sedation is applied so that the patient does not feel any pain or suffering during the procedure. After the hair transplant procedure is completed, a person who does not follow the doctor's recommendations or does not use the medication regularly is at risk of getting a negative result.

Afro Hair Transplant Techniques

Afro Hair Transplant Techniques

Afro hair is distinguished by its tight curls, dense texture, and coarser strands, making it unique compared to straight or wavy hair types.

Due to these characteristics, Afro hair transplantation requires specialized techniques to ensure natural-looking and successful results.

This procedure is designed to restore hair density and address hair loss in individuals with Afro-textured hair, taking into account its distinct growth pattern and fragility.

Consultation & Evaluation

The process begins with a comprehensive consultation between the patient and a hair transplant specialist experienced in Afro hair. During this session:

  • The extent and pattern of hair loss are assessed.
  • The patient’s medical history is reviewed, including any underlying health conditions or medications that may affect hair growth.
  • The patient’s goals and expectations for hair restoration are discussed.

A personalized treatment plan is then developed based on the patient’s hair type, scalp condition, and donor area availability.

Unique Characteristics of Afro Hair

Afro-textured hair has distinct features that require special attention during the transplant process:

  • Curled Follicles: Unlike straight hair, Afro hair follicles have a curved structure, which can make extraction more complex.
  • Higher Fragility: This hair type is more prone to breakage, requiring gentle handling to prevent damage.
  • Scalp Density & Elasticity: The scalp tends to be thicker, which can influence the implantation technique.

These factors necessitate a specialized approach to achieve a natural and long-lasting outcome.

Afro Hair Transplant Procedure

1. Hair Follicle Extraction

Afro hair transplantation can be performed using FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), DHI (Direct Hair Implantation), or a hybrid technique depending on the patient’s needs.

  • Due to the curved nature of Afro hair follicles, extraction must be done with extreme precision to prevent damage or transection.
  • A skilled surgeon will use specialized tools to ensure that each follicle is extracted intact for optimal survival.

2. Afro Channel Opening

  • Tiny incisions are made in the recipient area where the hair will be implanted.
  • The surgeon must carefully consider the natural curl pattern, growth direction, and depth of Afro hair to ensure a seamless and realistic appearance.

3. Graft Implantation

  • The extracted follicles are meticulously implanted into the recipient area, ensuring they follow the natural hair curvature.
  • Proper alignment, depth, and density are critical to maintaining the unique texture and natural look of Afro hair.
Post-Surgery Care & Recovery

Immediate Aftercare

Following the procedure, patients are monitored to ensure there are no immediate complications. Post-operative care instructions typically include:

  • Taking prescribed medications (pain relievers, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory drugs).
  • Avoiding strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and direct sun exposure for at least a week.
  • Following special hair care instructions to protect the transplanted grafts and promote healing.
Healing & Hair Growth Timeline
  • Initial Shedding: Some transplanted hair may fall out within the first few weeks, which is a normal part of the process.
  • New Growth: Fresh hair typically starts to appear within 3-4 months.
  • Full Results: The final, natural results become fully visible within 9-12 months.
Follow-up Appointments

Regular check-ups allow the specialist to monitor progress, assess hair growth, and provide necessary guidance on post-transplant care.

Final Results

A successful Afro hair transplant restores hair density while preserving the natural curl pattern. By choosing a specialist with experience in Afro-textured hair, patients can achieve aesthetic and long-lasting results that blend seamlessly with their natural hair. Since Afro hair requires specialized expertise, it is crucial to select a skilled hair transplant surgeon or clinic with a proven track record in handling Afro-textured hair.

Sedation Anesthesia in Hair Transplantation

Painless Hair Transplant One

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:

Anesthesia & Sedation Process

1. Intravenous Sedation

2. Local Anesthesia Administration

3. Continuous Monitoring

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.

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:

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.

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.

  • Consultation and Evaluation: The process begins with a meeting between the patient and the hair transplant surgeon. During this consultation:
  • The patient's medical history and scalp condition are evaluated.
  • The patient's goals and expectations for hair restoration are discussed.
  • The patient's suitability for stem cell hair transplantation is determined.
Stem Cell Hair Transplant

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.
