Hair Transplant

What is Hair Transplant?

Hair transplantation is a surgical technique that moves hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back and sides of the head) to areas experiencing hair loss. Modern FUE and DHI techniques allow for natural-looking, permanent results that are virtually undetectable.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Turkish clinics typically offer all-inclusive packages that cover hotel accommodation, airport transfers, medications, PRP treatment, and aftercare products. Always confirm exactly what's included before booking—the headline price should cover everything.

⚠️ Insider Note: Beware of clinics that promise unrealistic graft numbers or guarantee specific density. The best clinics provide honest assessments and may recommend multiple sessions for advanced hair loss rather than overpromising in one procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many grafts do I need?

This depends on your hair loss extent and goals. Norwood 3 typically needs 2,000-3,000 grafts; Norwood 5+ may need 4,000-5,000+. Your surgeon will assess during consultation.

When will I see results?

New growth begins around month 3-4, with significant visible results at month 6 and final mature results at 12-18 months.

Is hair transplant permanent?

Yes, transplanted hair is taken from DHT-resistant areas at the back and sides of the head. These follicles retain their genetic programming and will not fall out due to pattern baldness.

Is the procedure painful?

The initial local anesthesia injections may cause brief discomfort (a few seconds), but the procedure itself is completely painless. Many patients watch movies or nap during the process.

Can I shave my head after transplant?

Yes, you can shave your head after full healing. A very short buzz cut (grade 0-1) may reveal tiny dot scars from FUE extraction, but most haircut lengths hide them completely.

How long should I stay in Turkey?

Most clinics recommend 3-5 days to include initial consultation, the procedure day, post-operative check, and first wash instruction before flying home.

Will people notice I had a transplant?

Modern techniques create completely natural results. Because the transplanted hair sheds then regrows over months, changes happen gradually—making it far less obvious than a sudden transformation.

Can women get hair transplants?

Yes, women with suitable donor areas can absolutely benefit from hair transplants. Female hair loss patterns differ from male pattern baldness, so assessment by an experienced surgeon is essential.
