SVF (Stromal Vascular Fraction) Hair Therapy is the most potent regenerative treatment available in modern medicine for hair loss. It is designed to rescue hair follicles that are dormant or miniaturized but not yet dead. While PRP provides “vitamins,” SVF provides the “Architects and Builders” (Stem Cells). Specialist Dr. Ömer Fatih Şahin recommends this premium therapy for patients who want to avoid a transplant or maximize their transplant results.

Give Your Hair a Second Chance
Sanakin is an advanced biological therapy that processes your own blood to stop scalp micro-inflammation and stimulate hair follicles. It is widely regarded as the premium upgrade to traditional PRP, specifically designed for hair loss prevention and post-transplant result
optimization. Hair loss is not just about genetics; it is often driven by silent inflammation around the hair root. Sanakin creates a serum rich in IL-1Ra, a protein that neutralizes this inflammation, allowing the hair to breathe, feed, and grow again.
Why is it Critical for Hair Transplant Patients?
If you have had a hair transplant, the real
results start appearing after the healing process. Sanakin is the perfect booster for this specific phase.
● Timing is Key (Month 3 Strategy): We do not recommend injections immediately after surgery to avoid traumatizing the newly planted grafts. The ideal time to start is the 3rd month.
● Boosts New Growth: Around month 3, the “shock loss” phase ends, and permanent hair begins to emerge. Sanakin ensures these new hairs grow thick and strong rather than weak and wispy.
● Scalp Health: It improves blood circulation in the recipient area, ensuring the soil is fertile for your new hair.
Who Else Can Benefit?
● Early Stage Hair Loss: Men and women noticing thinning hair but not yet ready for surgery.
● Itchy/Unhealthy Scalp: Patients suffering from Seborrheic Dermatitis or chronic scalp irritation. Sanakin calms the skin, creating a healthy environment for hair growth.
Sanakin vs. PRP: Which is Better for Hair?
● PRP is excellent for stimulation.
● Sanakin is superior because it stimulates and protects. By stopping the inflammation that
attacks the hair root, it offers a more comprehensive solution for aggressive hair loss.
The Process
1. Blood Draw: We collect a small amount of blood.
2. 3-Hour Incubation: Your blood is incubated to multiply the healing proteins. (You can explore Nişantaşı during this time).
3. Injection: The serum is injected into the scalp using micro-needles.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Question: Will it grow hair on a bald head?
Answer: No. Like all non-surgical treatments, it
requires living hair follicles to work. It thickens thin hair and wakes up dormant follicles, but it cannot
create hair where the root is gone.
Question: Can I combine it with my Hair Transplant?
Answer: Yes, but timing matters. We advise
waiting until the 3rd month after your surgery. This allows the scalp to fully heal and the grafts to
settle. Injecting too early can disturb the new grafts.
Question: Is it painful?
Answer: We use the finest needles available and local anesthetic sprays to
minimize discomfort. It is generally very well tolerated.
Question: How many sessions?
Answer: For best results, we recommend a protocol of 3 sessions,
spaced 3-4 weeks apart.
Hair Mesotherapy is a medical procedure involving the micro-injection of vitamins, minerals, and peptides directly into the scalp. At our Nişantaşı, Istanbul clinic, we
customize the injection cocktail based on the specific cause of hair loss (genetic, stress, or seasonal) to stop shedding and strengthen hair roots.
What Is Hair Mesotherapy?
Hair follicles are highly active structures requiring constant nutrients. However, due to poor circulation or systemic imbalances, essential vitamins may not effectively reach the scalp. Hair Mesotherapy bridges this gap by delivering bio-stimulants (Biotin, Zinc, Peptides, etc.) directly to the target tissue, ensuring maximum absorption.
Functional Medical Approach (Our Difference)
Hair loss is often a sign of internal imbalance. Before treatment, we evaluate root causes:
● Stress & Adrenal Health (Cortisol): Chronic stress pushes hair follicles into the shedding phase. If needed, we utilize advanced tests like salivary cortisol analysis to assess your biological stress load.
● Iron (Ferritin) Levels: Is there a deficiency?
● Thyroid Function: Is metabolism regulated?
● Nutritional Status: Are there micronutrient gaps? The treatment protocol often runs parallel to correcting these internal factors.
Which Cocktail for Which Condition? (Personalized Protocol)
We do not use a “one-size-fits-all” formula. The ingredients are selected based on your diagnosis:
1. Stress & Seasonal Shedding: Focuses on improving circulation and replacing nutrients lost due to high cortisol.
● Ingredients: B-Complex Vitamins (Biotin), Zinc, Amino Acids, and Vasodilators.
2. Genetic / Male Pattern Hair Loss (Androgenetic): Focuses on counteracting the effects of DHT hormone on roots.
● Ingredients: Growth factors, Copper Peptides, and enzyme blockers.
3. Post-Procedure & Compromised Hair Areas: Supports tissue recovery and helps maintain the vitality of newly implanted or weakened hair follicles.
● Ingredients: Hyaluronic Acid, Organic Silica, and tissue-repairing agents.
The Procedure
1. Application: The scalp is cleaned. The customized solution is injected into the dermis (1-2 mm deep) using very fine sterile needles.
2. Comfort: Discomfort is minimal. Cooling sprays or topical anesthetics can be used if necessary.
3. Protocol: Typically, a course of 6 to 10 sessions is recommended, performed at weekly intervals.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Is the same medication used for everyone? No. The cause of hair loss varies. We select specific
cocktails rich in peptides, vitamins, or minerals depending on whether your hair loss is genetic,
hormonal, or stress-related.
2. What is the difference between PRP and Mesotherapy?
● PRP: Uses your own blood components (Growth Factors). It repairs tissue.
● Mesotherapy: Uses external vitamins and minerals. It feeds the hair.
● Ideally, combining both yields the best results.
3. Will hair loss return after treatment stops? Mesotherapy strengthens existing hair. However,
since genetic hair loss is chronic, we recommend a single “maintenance session” every 3–4
months after the initial course to keep the results.
4. Does it regrow hair on bald areas? Medically, non-surgical treatments cannot revive dead
follicles on completely bald skin. Mesotherapy aims to thicken and revitalize weak, miniaturized
hairs, improving density.
5. Is it painful? Most patients report only mild prickling. It is generally well-tolerated.
6. Can I dye my hair? We recommend avoiding hair dye and harsh chemicals for at least 2–3 days
after the session to prevent scalp irritation.
7. What is the cost? Pricing depends on the specific ingredients used (e.g., peptide-rich vs.
standard) and the number of sessions. Please contact our clinic for details.
Autologous Micrograft Hair Therapy (often known as Regenera Activa technology) is a revolutionary, single-session treatment for androgenetic alopecia (genetic hair loss). It utilizes “progenitor cells” harvested from your own healthy hair follicles to regenerate and thicken
thinning hair. For patients who are noticing hair thinning but are not ready for a full hair transplant, this is the most advanced medical solution available. At our clinic, Specialist Dr. Ömer Fatih Şahin performs this procedure with minimal invasiveness and maximum comfort.
The Science: Why Behind the Ear?
Hair follicles on the back of your head (occipital zone) are genetically resistant to hair loss hormones (DHT). Even in balding men, this area remains thick.
● The Method: We harvest tiny samples from this “strong zone.” We extract the powerful progenitor cells and growth factors.
● The Transfer: We inject this potent cocktail into the balding areas (top and front). The strong cells send signals to the weak cells, instructing them to “wake up” and grow thicker.
Who is the Ideal Candidate?
● Early to Moderate Hair Loss: Men and women seeing their scalp through their hair.
● Women: Especially effective for diffuse thinning (widening part line).
● Hair Transplant Patients: It is an excellent “booster.” It heals the donor area faster and increases the survival rate of the transplanted grafts.
● Busy Internationals: Perfect for tourists because it requires only one session (unlike PRP which needs 6).
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
● Question: Does it work for Alopecia Areata (Patchy Hair Loss)?
● Answer: This treatment is primarily designed for Androgenetic Alopecia (Genetic
Hair Loss). Since Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune condition where the body
attacks hair follicles, the primary treatment usually involves stopping the immune
attack first. Dr. Şahin can recommend specific protocols for Areata during
consultation.
● Question: Is it a Hair Transplant?
● Answer: No. We do not move thousands of hairs. We move the “cells” that stimulate
hair growth. If you are completely bald, you need a transplant. If you have thinning
hair, Micrograft is the solution.
● Question: When will I see results?
● Answer: Since it is a biological process, patience is key.
● Month 1: Hair shedding decreases significantly.
● Month 3-4: Hair becomes visibly thicker and denser.
● Month 6: Full results are visible.
● Question: Will there be scars?
● Answer: No. The sampling sites are tiny and heal within days without stitches. They
are hidden by your existing hair.
