OUR TREATMENTS
The Sapphire FUE Method is superior for hair transplantation due to the enhanced sharpness, precision, and smoothness of sapphire blades. This method, when used, causes minimal tissue trauma, reduced scarring, and faster healing times compared to traditional metal blades. Additionally, the Sapphire FUE method carries a lower risk of causing micro-damage to the surrounding hair follicles, leading to higher graft survival rates and ultimately better hair transplant results.
In Sapphire FUE, hair follicles are individually extracted from the donor area using micro punches after local anesthesia. The crucial step lies in opening channels for transplantation, influencing density, angle, and natural appearance. Special sapphire tips, ensure precise channel creation, aligning with the width of the hair follicles and increasing the overall number of channels.
Steps of a FUE Hair Transplant:
Step 1: Channel Opening
Using special sapphire tips for smaller and faster healing channels, we determine the direction of your transplanted hairs. Every Sapphire FUE Blade is dedicated to a single patient, underscoring the utmost importance of maintaining proper sanitation.
Step 2: Follicle Extraction
In the FUE method, we collect hair follicles one by one with micro-tips, ensuring minimal damage to the donor area and keeping you cozy during the process.
Step 3: Hair Implantation
With a careful 40-45 degree angle, we place your hairs into the precisely directed channels, creating a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.
Why Sapphire Blades?
Sapphire tips minimize trauma, reduce fluid retention, and speed up tissue recovery. They allow for denser transplantation, especially for those with advanced hair loss, resulting in a more voluminous and natural outcome.
DHI, or Direct Hair Implantation, is a cutting-edge hair restoration method that utilizes a Choi implant pen to address hair loss in men and women quickly and painlessly. This technique builds upon the graft extraction-transplantation approach, similar to Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE).
​
This process can be used with Sapphire FUE or DHI, and actually can be combined depending on the clients needs/preferences.
DHI represents a breakthrough in hair transplants, offering the most natural-looking results. The use of the Choi pen enables denser hair implantation, with minimal impact on the skin's integrity, allowing for hair transplants without complete head shaving. Let's explore this innovative tool more closely:
What Is a Choi Implanter?
A Choi implanter needle, designed for DHI hair transplantation, features a thin, cylindrical, and sharp tip. Hair follicles are loaded into this needle, which has a channel-like structure, and then transplanted to the scalp under the doctor's guidance.
​
Advantages of DHI Compared to FUE:
DHI offers significant benefits over classic FUE hair transplants. Notably, it doesn't require perforating the skin in the recipient area, reducing trauma, bleeding, and improving recovery time (approximately 10 days).
​
How DHI (Choi) Method Works:
DHI begins with harvesting eligible hair follicles from the donor area using a micro motor, stored in a sterile environment.
After follicles are prepared, they are placed in the Choi implanter pen for transplantation.
The implantation is done with precision, ensuring the grafts are placed at the correct angle and direction. The entire DHI hair transplant procedure may take 10-12 hours, depending on the number of grafts to be transplanted.
​
Advantages of DHI Choi Technique:
DHI minimizes the time hair follicles spend outside the skin, increasing graft survival rates. Smaller incisions result in quicker healing and faster recovery.
​
Eligibility for DHI Hair Transplant:
DHI is typically suitable for patients with mild to moderate hair loss. If you require a high number of grafts due to severe hair loss, this method may not be suitable.
Our team provides in depth consultations to determine your eligibility for a DHI hair transplant. Most adults of all ages, both men and women, are potential candidates.
Choose the U-FUE (Unshaven FUE) hair transplant option with our trusted partners in Istanbul, Turkey if you're reluctant to shave your head for the procedure. We understand that not everyone is comfortable with a dramatic change in their appearance before seeing improvement. Fortunately, the unshaven hair transplant provides a solution that allows you to maintain your current look while enhancing your hair.
This process can be used with Sapphire FUE or DHI, and actually can be combined depending on the clients needs/preferences.
Here's how it works:
1. Unshaven FUE Technique:
- The donor area is trimmed to achieve an undercut/bald fade hairstyle without dramatically changing your daily look.
- The recipient area is not shaved at all.
- Hair grafts are carefully extracted from the donor area and transplanted around the existing unshaven hair.
​
2. Suitability for Men and Women:
- Ideal for both men and women.
- Female hair transplants without shaving are relatively easier, considering women generally have more hair to cover the donor
area, avoiding the need for a hairstyle change.
- Most female hair transplants are conducted using the unshaven method.
3. Eligibility:
- Unshaven FUE hair transplant is usually suitable for those with mild to moderate hair loss.
- If you have severe hair loss requiring a high number of grafts, an unshaven hair transplant might not be suitable.

An increasing number of women are seeking hair transplants to address their hair loss while male and female pattern hair loss share similarities, they have distinct characteristics. Male pattern baldness often involves a receding hairline, whereas female pattern hair loss results in general thinning across the scalp.
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is preferred for women's hair transplants because it offers a minimally invasive procedure that ensures natural and aesthetically pleasing results. The method allows precise implantation of hair follicles without the need to create micro-channels, making it suitable for women experiencing hair loss or thinning.
Customized planning by can help women regain their lost hair. At Hair Life Clinic, our affiliate partners offer hair transplantation services specifically for women, ensuring that each patient's individual needs are met.
A beard transplant is a simple procedure that enhances the density and appearance of your beard, mustache, and sideburns, achieving an even and fuller look. Even famous soccer player Lionel Messi has opted for a beard transplant, highlighting its growing popularity.
How It Works:
During a beard transplant, hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area at the back of the head. We use the DHI technique, which offers optimal results.
Success and Growth:
Our patients experience a remarkable 80-90% success rate. New beard growth starts around the third month, with a fuller beard evident by the sixth month. A year after the transplant, you'll achieve your desired beard design and enjoy the final results.
When you're dealing with permanent eyebrow loss, whether from over-plucking, permanent makeup, or health issues like chemotherapy or skin diseases, an eyebrow transplant could be the solution you're looking for. Eyebrow transplantation involves relocating hair follicles from donor areas, typically the back of your head, to the areas with eyebrow loss.
Eyebrow transplants require precision for a natural look. We use the DHI method for eyebrow transplants because it offers meticulous transplantation, allowing for seamless integration among existing eyebrow hairs, unlike the FUE method.
The growth process for newly transplanted eyebrows is similar to a hair transplant. You might experience shock loss within 15 days after the procedure. Significant hair growth will be visible within three months, and full results can be seen within 8-12 months.
