The Most Modern Hair Transplant Techniques

At our Clinic, we are continually improving our technology and practices which means that we only use the most cutting-edge hair transplantation techniques. We specialise in both Sapphire FUE and DHI transplants, as well as a wide range of follow-up care to ensure world-class results.

Sapphire FUE Hair Transplants

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a hair transplant technique where a patient's healthy hair follicles are extracted from a donor area, typically at the back of the head, before being implanted into the recipient area. Dr Aygin has pioneered the use of Sapphire blades during FUE transplants which has provided tremendous benefits.

  • Significant reduction in the risk of bleeding, scabbing, or scarring.

  • Denser implantation into the recipient area to create a fuller, more natural-looking final result.

  • Faster recovery.

  • Hair follicle survival rate of 98%.

DHI Hair Transplants

Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) is a newer version of the FUE technique. During a DHI hair transplant, a patient's hair follicles are extracted and then immediately implanted into the recipient area with the use of a Choi Implanter Pen. This removes the need for incisions in the recipient area, allowing for more precise placement of the transplanted hair and ensuring it matches the angle and direction of the existing hair growth. DHI transplants provide several benefits over FUE.

  • Faster recovery

  • Increased hair follicle survival rate

  • Reduced stress on the transplanted hair

  • No need to shave the recipient area in advance, providing a faster return to a pre-operative state.

Follow-up Care

The style of transplant that's best for any patient depends on their exact needs. No matter which type of hair transplant is performed, all of our clients receive a full suite of follow-up care. The day after the procedure, all of our clients are invited back and offered Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy and/or LLLT laser hair treatment. During a follow-up appointment, all patients are also provided with all required literature and medications for proper postoperative hair care. All of these services are available at no additional charge as a part of our all-inclusive hair transplant package.
