Specialties And Hair-Loss Care Approach

Hair loss can have many causes, including hereditary patterns, hormonal changes, inflammatory scalp conditions, nutritional issues, medications, and other medical factors. Identifying the cause is an important part of deciding whether medical treatment, observation, or hair restoration may be appropriate.

Dr. Aygın has concentrated his clinical career on hair disorders and transplantation. His official biography states that he has followed developments in hair transplantation since the 1990s and has particular experience with FUE and DHI techniques.

An assessment can involve examining the scalp and hair pattern, reviewing the patient’s history, and considering the stability and cause of hair loss before a treatment plan is selected.

FUE Hair Transplantation

Follicular unit extraction, commonly called FUE, involves removing individual follicular units from a donor area and placing them into areas affected by hair loss. It is widely used in modern hair restoration.

Dr. Aygın has been performing hair transplantation since 1996 and is identified by his clinic as one of the early practitioners of FUE in Turkey. His current clinic continues to offer FUE-based transplantation.

The suitability of FUE varies between patients. Donor-hair availability, the pattern and progression of hair loss, scalp characteristics, and the patient’s expectations all influence whether transplantation is appropriate.

DHI Hair Transplantation

Direct hair implantation, or DHI, is a hair-transplantation approach that uses specialized implantation pens to place harvested follicles into the recipient area.

Dr. Aygın’s clinic offers DHI alongside FUE. The clinic describes DHI as an approach in which Choi pens are used during implantation, allowing the recipient sites and graft placement to be handled through the same specialized instrument.

DHI is not automatically the right choice for every patient. The technique should be selected according to the patient’s hair characteristics, donor area, treatment goals, and clinical assessment.

Sapphire FUE

Sapphire FUE uses sapphire blades during the recipient-site preparation stage of an FUE procedure. The underlying transplantation method remains FUE, while the blade material and design differ from conventional metal instruments.

Dr. Aygın’s clinic offers Sapphire FUE as one of its hair-transplantation options. The clinic describes the approach as an adaptation of FUE rather than a completely separate transplantation method.

As with other hair-restoration procedures, the potential benefits and limitations depend on the individual patient rather than the name of the technique alone.

Hair Loss In Women

Female-pattern hair loss and other forms of thinning can have different causes from male-pattern hair loss. A careful assessment is therefore important before considering restoration treatment.

Dr. Aygın’s clinic provides hair-restoration services for women and states that DHI may be used in selected female hair-transplantation cases where maintaining existing hair around the treatment area is important.

Women experiencing unexplained or sudden hair loss may benefit from medical evaluation before considering a transplant, since some causes can require treatment rather than surgery.

Beard Transplantation

Hair restoration can also be used to address selected areas of reduced beard density. Beard transplantation involves transferring follicles to areas where additional hair growth is desired.

Dr. Aygın’s clinic lists beard transplantation among its hair-restoration services and describes DHI as its preferred technique for this type of procedure.

The suitability of beard restoration depends on factors such as donor-hair availability, existing facial-hair pattern, skin characteristics, and the patient’s goals.

Hair And Scalp Treatments

Hair transplantation is only one part of managing hair loss. Some patients may benefit from identifying and treating an underlying scalp or medical condition, while others may require ongoing treatment to manage progressive thinning.

Dr. Aygın’s background in dermatology and hair disorders provides a medical foundation for assessing hair and scalp conditions alongside transplantation. His official biography describes his work in dermatology and hair diseases before his long-term focus on hair restoration.

A dermatologist may consider the pattern of hair loss, scalp findings, family history, medications, nutrition, and other health factors when evaluating a patient.

Patient Care And Communication

Hair loss can affect people differently, and expectations about restoration are an important part of consultation. A realistic treatment discussion should consider the existing donor supply, the extent of hair loss, likely progression, and the limitations of transplantation.

Dr. Aygın’s clinic describes a consultation process in which photographs are reviewed before an individualized treatment plan is prepared. The clinic also provides follow-up after procedures and states that postoperative photographs are reviewed by Dr. Aygın.

Patients considering any hair-restoration procedure should discuss potential risks, expected results, alternatives, aftercare, and who will personally perform the medical aspects of treatment.

Professional Experience

Dr. Aygın has worked in hair-loss treatment since 1996, giving him approximately three decades of experience in this field. His official biography describes him as one of the early teams involved in hair transplantation in Turkey and notes his long-term concentration on FUE and DHI techniques.

His career began with specialist medical training in clinical pharmacology and dermatology. He subsequently worked in a dermatology and hair-disease clinic before focusing his practice more specifically on hair transplantation and hair treatments.

He also participates in international professional meetings and lectures on developments in hair transplantation, according to his clinic’s professional biography.

Professional Recognition

Dr. Aygın received the European Award in Medicine for Hair Transplant Surgery in 2019 at an event held in Paris. His clinic identifies this as an award recognizing his work in hair-transplant surgery.

His professional biography also identifies him as a member of the International Society of Dermatology.

Recognition and professional memberships provide context about a physician’s career, but individual patients should still evaluate whether a particular treatment is medically appropriate for their own circumstances.
