DHI & FUE Hair Transplant for Women - Sapphire

At Nobel Clinic Istanbul, female hair transplantation utilizes the DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) technique combined with Sapphire FUE, specifically tailored to women's needs. This method allows for the thickening of thinning areas without complete shaving, by working between existing hairs. The result is natural and virtually invisible from the first few days.

  3. Discreet donor area

    Only a small donor area at the back of the head is shaved and can be concealed by existing long hair.

  4. Sapphire extraction and DHI implantation

    The follicles are extracted individually with sapphire micro-punch and then implanted directly between the existing hairs using the Choi Stylo.

    This technique allows for precise control of the angle and direction for a result that blends seamlessly with the natural hair.
