Hair Transplant
DHI & FUE Hair Transplant for Men - Sapphire
The DHI & FUE Sapphire hair transplant is the most advanced technique for treating male pattern baldness. At Nobel Clinic Istanbul, we combine two complementary methods: Sapphire FUE for precise follicle extraction and DHI (Choi Pen) for ultra-precise implantation. This hybrid approach allows for maximum density and a perfectly natural result.

Procedure of the Intervention
The procedure takes place in several stages over the course of a day. After local anesthesia of the scalp, the follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area (occiput) using 0.8 to 1 mm sapphire micro-punch holes. The grafts are sorted and preserved in a nutrient solution. Implantation is performed using the Choi Stylo (DHI), which allows for precise control of the angle (40-45°), depth, and direction of each follicle. This hybrid DHI + Sapphire FUE technique offers the advantages of both methods: maximum density and rapid healing.
Post-operative monitoring and recovery
Small scabs will appear around the grafts for 7 to 10 days. Slight redness may occur for 2 weeks. You can return to work after 3 to 5 days. Some transplanted hair will fall out (shock loss) between the 2nd and 4th week (this is normal). Visible regrowth will begin after 3-4 months. Intermediate results will be visible at 6 months, and final results at 12-18 months.
Expected Results
The results are definitive and permanent because the transplanted hairs come from a donor area resistant to baldness. The density achieved varies between 45 and 60 follicles/cm² depending on the area. The final result is perfectly natural, undetectable, with hair that grows normally and can be styled as desired.
