Hair transplant procedures use advanced techniques like FUE or DHI. FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles one by one using a micro-punch tool, then implanting them into the recipient area. DHI uses a specialized Choi pen to extract and implant follicles in one step, allowing for more precise control over angle, depth, and density. Both procedures are performed under local anesthesia and typically take 4-8 hours depending on the number of grafts needed.

Yes, hair transplant results are permanent. The transplanted hair follicles are taken from the "permanent zone" at the back and sides of the head, which is resistant to DHT (the hormone that causes pattern hair loss). Once transplanted, these follicles will continue to grow hair for the rest of your life. However, existing non-transplanted hair may continue to thin over time, which is why we offer ongoing maintenance treatments.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during the surgery. Most patients report only mild discomfort during the initial anesthesia injections, similar to a dental procedure. Post-operative pain is typically minimal and easily managed with over-the-counter pain medications. Our team ensures your comfort throughout the entire process.

While there's no strict age limit, the ideal candidates are typically between 25-65 years old. Younger patients (under 25) may still be experiencing active hair loss, making it difficult to predict future patterns. Older patients can still benefit from hair transplants if they have sufficient donor hair. During consultation, our surgeons assess your specific situation to determine if you're a suitable candidate regardless of age.

Good candidates typically have stable donor areas with sufficient hair density, realistic expectations, and well-defined areas of hair loss. Age, extent of hair loss, overall health, and hair characteristics are all factors considered during consultation. Both men and women can be excellent candidates for hair transplants, though the approach may differ based on the pattern of hair loss. A thorough evaluation during consultation will determine your suitability.

Most hair transplant procedures are completed in a single session. However, for extensive hair loss or when maximum density is desired, a second session may be recommended 8-12 months after the first procedure. During your consultation, our surgeons will assess your needs and create a personalized treatment plan. The number of sessions depends on the extent of hair loss, desired density, and donor area availability.

While patients can discuss their preferences during consultation, the final hair direction is determined by our experienced surgeons based on your natural hair growth patterns, facial structure, and aesthetic goals. Our surgeons have extensive training in creating natural-looking hairlines and hair direction that complements your features. We work closely with you to understand your preferences while ensuring the most natural and aesthetically pleasing result.

Yes, shaveless or unshaven FUE hair transplant is possible in certain cases. This technique allows for longer hair in the donor area, making the procedure less noticeable. However, not all patients are suitable candidates for shaveless FUE, as it depends on hair length, texture, and the number of grafts needed. During consultation, our surgeons will assess whether shaveless FUE is appropriate for your specific situation.

The number of grafts needed for a natural hairline depends on several factors including the desired hairline design, hair characteristics, and existing hair density. Typically, a natural-looking hairline requires 1,500-2,500 grafts, with the exact number determined during consultation. Our surgeons create personalized hairline designs that complement your facial features and ensure natural-looking results.

When performed by experienced surgeons using advanced FUE or DHI techniques, hair transplants produce completely natural-looking results. The transplanted hair grows in the same direction as your natural hair, matches your hair color and texture, and blends seamlessly with existing hair. Once fully healed and grown, the results are undetectable. Our surgeons specialize in creating natural-looking hairlines and density that looks completely authentic.

With modern FUE and DHI techniques performed by experienced surgeons, the survival rate of transplanted grafts is typically 90-95%. The success rate depends on several factors including surgical technique, post-operative care, and patient compliance with aftercare instructions. Our surgeons use advanced methods to ensure optimal graft survival, and we provide detailed post-operative care guidance to maximize results.

Yes, transplanted hair will grow just like your natural hair. After the initial shedding phase (2-4 weeks post-surgery), new hair begins to grow from the transplanted follicles. Growth typically starts around 3-4 months, with visible improvement at 6 months, and full results visible after 12-18 months. The transplanted hair will continue to grow throughout your life and can be cut, styled, and treated like your natural hair.

The transplanted hair will initially shed within 2-4 weeks after the procedure. This is completely normal and expected - it's called "shock loss." The hair follicles remain alive and healthy beneath the skin. New hair growth begins around 3-4 months. Once the new hair grows, it is permanent and will not fall out, as it comes from the DHT-resistant permanent zone.

Transplanted hair typically begins to grow around 3-4 months after the procedure. You'll notice initial growth at this stage, with more visible improvement at 6 months. Full results are usually visible after 12-18 months. The growth timeline can vary slightly between individuals based on factors like age, health, and hair characteristics. We provide regular follow-up consultations to monitor your progress.

Initial hair growth begins around 3-4 months after the procedure, with visible improvement at 6 months. Full results are typically visible after 12-18 months. The transplanted hair will continue to mature and thicken over time. We schedule follow-up consultations at 3, 6, 12, and 18 months to monitor your progress and ensure optimal results.

Shock loss refers to the temporary shedding of transplanted hair that occurs 2-4 weeks after the procedure. This is a normal part of the healing process - the hair follicles remain healthy beneath the skin. The shedding phase typically lasts 2-4 weeks, after which new hair growth begins around 3-4 months. Shock loss is temporary and does not affect the final results.

Some patients may experience small pimples or folliculitis in the transplanted area during the healing process. This is usually temporary and occurs as the new hair begins to grow. It's important to follow post-operative care instructions and avoid picking or scratching. If you experience persistent issues, our medical team is available 24/7 to provide guidance and treatment recommendations.

Some patients may experience temporary dryness or flaking in the transplanted area during the initial healing phase. This is normal and typically resolves as the scalp heals. Following proper post-operative care instructions, including gentle washing and moisturizing as recommended, helps minimize this. If dandruff persists, our medical team can provide specific treatment recommendations.

Hair transplant is generally safe, but like any surgical procedure, it carries minimal risks. Possible side effects include temporary swelling, minor bleeding, infection (rare), scarring (minimal with FUE/DHI), and temporary numbness. Serious complications are extremely rare when performed by experienced surgeons. We provide comprehensive pre and post-operative care to minimize any risks and ensure optimal outcomes.

While hair transplant is a safe procedure, potential complications may include infection (rare and treatable), bleeding (usually minimal), scarring (minimal with modern FUE/DHI techniques), temporary numbness, and in very rare cases, poor graft survival. Our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques to minimize risks, and we provide comprehensive aftercare to ensure optimal healing and results.

Some patients may experience mild to moderate swelling in the forehead and around the eyes 2-3 days after the procedure. This is normal and temporary, typically resolving within 3-5 days. We provide post-operative care instructions including head elevation and cold compresses to minimize swelling. Most patients experience minimal to no swelling with proper care.

A natural facial appearance is achieved through careful planning and precise technique. Our surgeons design hairlines that complement your facial features, use appropriate hair angles and directions that match your natural growth patterns, and ensure proper density distribution. The combination of artistic design and technical precision creates results that look completely natural and undetectable.

No, hair does not grow back from the donor areas where follicles were extracted. The extracted follicles are permanently removed and transplanted to the recipient area. However, the extraction sites heal quickly and become virtually undetectable. The surrounding hair in the donor area continues to grow normally, and with proper technique, the donor area maintains a natural appearance.

Yes, body hair transplantation (BHT) is possible using hair from the chest, beard, or other body areas. This technique is typically used when scalp donor hair is limited or when additional grafts are needed. Chest hair has different characteristics than scalp hair (coarser, curlier), so it's usually used in specific areas or for density enhancement. Our surgeons will assess your situation and discuss if BHT is appropriate for your case.

Yes, beard hair can be used for scalp transplantation, especially when additional grafts are needed or scalp donor hair is limited. Beard hair is typically coarser and may have different characteristics than scalp hair, so it's often used strategically for density enhancement or in specific areas. During consultation, our surgeons will evaluate if beard hair transplantation is suitable for your needs.

Yes, hair can be transplanted between existing hair to increase density. This technique, called "density enhancement" or "hair-to-hair" transplantation, is commonly performed to thicken thinning areas. Our surgeons carefully place new grafts between existing hairs without damaging them, creating a natural increase in density. This approach is ideal for patients with diffuse thinning or those seeking to enhance existing hair density.

Yes, hair transplant to the crown (vertex) area is very effective. The crown is one of the most common areas treated with hair transplantation. Results in the crown area are excellent, with transplanted hair growing naturally and blending seamlessly with existing hair. The growth timeline is similar to other areas, with visible results at 6 months and full results at 12-18 months.

Yes, beard transplant is possible even for individuals who have never grown a beard naturally. Our surgeons can create a full, natural-looking beard by transplanting hair follicles from the scalp to the facial area. The transplanted hair will grow like natural beard hair and can be maintained through regular shaving and grooming. During consultation, we assess your facial structure and discuss the desired beard design.

Eyebrow transplant uses the same FUE technique as scalp hair transplant, but with special attention to creating natural-looking eyebrows. Our surgeons carefully design the eyebrow shape to complement your facial features, use single-hair grafts for a natural appearance, and ensure proper angle and direction. The procedure typically takes 2-4 hours depending on the extent of the transplant. Results are visible within 6-12 months.

Hair washing after transplant requires gentle care. Typically, you can begin gentle washing 48 hours after the procedure using a mild, pH-balanced shampoo. Use lukewarm water, avoid direct water pressure on the transplanted area, gently pat (don't rub) the area, and follow the specific washing technique demonstrated by our medical team. We provide detailed post-operative care instructions including proper washing techniques.

Light activities can typically resume after 1 week, but strenuous exercise and swimming should be avoided for at least 2-3 weeks. Swimming in pools or the ocean should be avoided for at least 3-4 weeks to prevent infection. We provide specific guidelines based on your individual healing progress. It's important to avoid activities that cause excessive sweating or direct impact to the scalp during the initial healing phase.

Our comprehensive hair transplant packages typically include pre-operative consultation and assessment, the hair transplant procedure (FUE or DHI), post-operative medications and care supplies, follow-up consultations, 24/7 medical support, detailed aftercare instructions, and long-term follow-up care. Some packages may also include accommodation assistance and airport transfers. We provide transparent information about what's included during your consultation.

Hair transplant prices vary significantly by country. In the United States and Western Europe, procedures typically cost $8,000-$15,000 or more. In Turkey, the same quality procedures cost $2,000-$4,000, making it 60-70% more affordable. This significant cost difference, combined with Turkey's reputation for excellence in hair restoration, makes it an ideal destination for international patients seeking quality results at exceptional value.

Whether you need a second procedure depends on several factors: the extent of your initial hair loss, future hair loss progression, desired density, and donor area availability. Some patients achieve their desired results with one procedure, while others may benefit from a second session 8-12 months later for additional density or to address new areas of hair loss. During follow-up consultations, we assess your progress and discuss if additional procedures would be beneficial.

Yes, we maintain an extensive gallery of before and after photos from real patients who have undergone FUE and DHI hair transplants at our clinic. These authentic results demonstrate the natural-looking outcomes you can expect. During your consultation, we can also discuss specific cases similar to your hair loss pattern to help set realistic expectations and show you what's possible with our advanced techniques.

The number of grafts needed depends on several factors including the extent of hair loss, desired density, hair characteristics, and donor area availability. During your consultation, our surgeons will assess your specific situation and provide a detailed treatment plan. Typically, procedures range from 1,500 to 4,000+ grafts, with the exact number determined based on your individual needs and goals.

Yes, hair transplants are equally effective for women experiencing hair loss. Female pattern hair loss differs from male pattern baldness, typically involving diffuse thinning rather than receding hairlines. Modern techniques like FUE are well-suited for treating women's hair loss patterns. During consultation, we assess your specific situation and create a personalized treatment plan.
