Dr. Serkan Aygın
Dr. Serkan Aygin, being amongst one of the first medical teams to perform hair transplantation in Turkey, has been practicing in the field of hair-loss treatments since 1996.
He received his Bachelor's Degree in Medicine at Istanbul University, Faculty of Medicine (Çapa.) He pursued a Master's Degree in both Clinical Pharmacology and Dermatology.
He also worked as a Specialist Doctor in the Outpatient Clinic for Dermatology and Hair Disorders after graduating from Istanbul University.
He is one of the leading doctors' whose contributions have had a major impact on the worldwide reputation Turkey has established in hair transplantation.
He is amongst the first doctors to practice the FUE and DHI hair transplant techniques, which are considered as the most advanced techniques in hair transplantation. He still performs hair transplantation on his patients mostly using the FUE technique, but also with the DHI technique.
FUE Hair Transplant Performed With Sapphire Blades
FUE, which is conducted by using blades made from a precious gemstone called sapphire, utilizes special sapphire blades instead of steel blades during the process of creating incisions within the recipient site.
FUE performed with sapphire blades is not a technique, it is an innovation implementing a new process within the FUE method.
Since Sapphire blades are smooth and sharp, they can create incision that are smaller and at the same length of hair follicles.
Since this sharpness creates less vibration on the skin, the healing process will be faster.
Hair Transplant Procedure Steps
Although the duration of the operation varies according to the number of grafts that will be transplanted, it usually lasts around 6 to 7 hours.
Preliminary Preparation
This is the stage where doctors and assistants work on the hair transplantation plan and prepare the operation area according to the customized hair transplant plan that has been carried out.
Sterilization and Local Anesthesia
The areas where the grafts will be extracted from and the transplantation site will be sterilized. Sedation is applied by our Anesthesiologist using medical monitoring devices with the dosage adjusted to the patient's physiologic condition.
Harvesting hair follicles
This process involves harvesting of the hair follicles one by one via a micro motor from the back and sides of the head as well as from the beard areas. Harvested grafts are divided into single and multiple grafts and stored in special solution at 4 ° C.
Creating the incisions where hair follicles will be transplanted
The incisions will be created taking into consideration the hairline design of the patient and the number of grafts that will be transplanted. Incisions are created at an angle of 40-45 degrees and in the direction of natural hair growth.
Transplanting Hair Follicles
One of the most important aspects in transplanting the grafts, is to start from the area where the hairline has been designed and to transplant the single grafts within this area. Thus, more natural looking hair transplant results can be achieved. Grafts extracted from the back of the head and from the beard area that contain multiple hair follicles are transplanted into the mid scalp area to provide fullness and to add more density.
Medical Dressing and Informing the Patients
After the operation, the donor areas -the areas where hair follicles are extracted from- will be covered with a bandage. On the following day of the operation, patients are given instructions on what to do until they receive a medical dressing.
On the first day after the operation, the patient will return to the clinic for a follow-up visit. On the same day, the patient will receive either Low Level Laser Hair Therapy. After the procedure, the doctor's assistant will be in constant communication with you. After your hair transplant procedure, do not hesitate to ask any questions about your recovery process.
DHI Hair Transplant and Beard Transplant
DHI Hair Transplant Services
DHI Hair Transplant
DHI technique is also known as 'unshaven hair transplant'. It is a method in which site creation and graft implantation are performed simultaneously, i.e. extraction and implantation are combined as part of a one or two step process.
DHI method enables to place the grafts at the right angle to direction of hair growth in a more convenient way, which allows the patients to obtain natural looking results.
Hair transplant is performed using choi implanter pens which provide denser hair transplantation. These pens, selected specifically for patients during operation, are single use for each patient.
Beard Transplantation
Just like hair transplantation, beard transplantation is also performed with DHI technique. Hair follicles are extracted from an area located at the back of the head between the two ears and are transplanted into the beard region with an implanter pen.
Operations are performed under local anesthesia thus no severe pain or ache is experienced. There will be no scarring or stitches after the operation.

Is there a recommended age to have a hair transplant?
Anyone over the age of 20 can undergo hair transplantation. However, the final decision is made after consultation. The patient should have a sufficient amount of healthy hair for transplantation in his/her donor area. Additionally, the type of hair loss will also determine the eligibility for hair transplantation.
Do I need to pay for the consultation session with the doctor?
No, the hair transplant consultation session with Dr. Serkan Aygın is free of charge. If you decide to undergo the operation, the payment can be made by credit card or in cash on the day of the operation.
Will the transplanted hair fall out again?
The transplanted hair is extracted from the back and sides of the head defined as the donor area. This area is also known as “safe zone". Since hair follicles in this region are not affected by the DHT hormone, they are genetically resistant to hair loss. As the hair follicles to be transplanted are extracted from the areas of the head that are genetically resistant to balding, they will be showing the same bald-resistant traits and will therefore remain intact and not fall out.
Are flight tickets and accommodation included in the price?
Flight ticket is not included in the price. When you arrive in Istanbul, our Representatives will meet you at the airport and will offer you all transfer services between the Clinic and the Hotel for free. In conclusion, except flight tickets, transfer and accommodation services are included in the price.
