Before & After
Hair Transplant (FUE / Sapphire FUE)

A minimally invasive hair restoration procedure where follicles are harvested from the donor area (typically the posterior scalp between the ears) and transplanted into thinning/balding areas for long-term regrowth. Dr. Apaydin commonly uses modern approaches such as FUE and Sapphire FUE, planned around your hairline, density goals, and donor capacity. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and each stage is performed under Dr. Apaydin’s direct supervision for accuracy and natural-looking placement.

Beard / Moustache / Sideburn Transplant

Facial hair transplantation involves extracting follicles from the posterior scalp donor area (genetically resistant to thinning) and transplanting them to areas of the beard, moustache, or sideburns where added density or coverage is desired. The goal is a natural pattern and density that blends with your existing facial hair and can be shaped over time. The clinic notes that the transplanted follicles do not fall off and results are permanent, and FUE-based techniques have made outcomes more natural-looking with improved technology.
