Your Questions Answered
Find answers to the most common questions about hair transplantation, our procedures, and what to expect before, during, and after your treatment.
Before the Procedure
Am I a good candidate for a hair transplant?
Good candidates are typically adults over 25 with stable hair loss, sufficient donor hair at the back and sides of the head, and realistic expectations. During your free consultation, our specialists will assess your hair loss pattern, donor area quality, and overall health to determine if you're a suitable candidate.
How do I prepare for my hair transplant?
We recommend stopping blood-thinning medications and supplements 1-2 weeks before the procedure. Avoid alcohol for at least 3 days before surgery. On the day of your procedure, wash your hair with regular shampoo and wear comfortable, button-down clothing.
How much does a hair transplant cost in Turkey?
Hair transplant costs in Turkey are typically 60-80% less than in Western Europe or the US, without compromising on quality. Our all-inclusive packages start from 2,000 euros and include the procedure, 5-star hotel accommodation, airport transfers, medications, and aftercare products.
What is included in your all-inclusive packages?
Our packages include: the hair transplant procedure, pre-operative blood tests, medications and aftercare products, 2-3 nights at a 5-star hotel, VIP airport transfers, a personal translator, post-operative care and follow-up consultations, and a lifetime warranty on transplanted hair.
How many grafts will I need?
The number of grafts depends on your degree of hair loss and desired density. Typically: mild hair loss requires 1,500-2,500 grafts, moderate hair loss needs 2,500-4,000 grafts, and advanced hair loss may require 4,000-6,000+ grafts.
During the Procedure
Is the hair transplant procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during the transplant. We use a needleless anesthesia technique that significantly reduces discomfort during the numbing process.
How long does the procedure take?
A typical hair transplant takes 6-8 hours, depending on the number of grafts. For larger sessions (4,000+ grafts), the procedure may be split over two consecutive days.
What's the difference between FUE, DHI, and Sapphire FUE?
FUE involves extracting individual follicles and implanting them into small incisions. DHI uses a Choi pen to implant follicles directly without pre-made incisions, allowing higher density. Sapphire FUE uses sapphire blades for smaller, more precise incisions that heal faster with less scarring.
Will I be awake during the procedure?
Yes, you'll be awake but comfortable under local anesthesia. You can watch movies, listen to music, or chat with our staff.
After the Procedure
What is the recovery time after a hair transplant?
Most patients can return to work within 3-5 days for desk jobs. Swelling typically subsides within 5-7 days. You should avoid strenuous exercise for 2-3 weeks and direct sunlight for 4-6 weeks.
When will I see results from my hair transplant?
Initial shedding occurs at 2-4 weeks (this is normal). New growth begins around 3-4 months. Significant improvement is visible at 6-8 months. Final results with full density are typically achieved at 12-18 months.
How do I care for my transplanted hair after the procedure?
We provide detailed aftercare instructions including: sleeping in an elevated position for 5-7 days, avoiding touching the transplanted area, using special shampoo and lotions, protecting your scalp from direct sunlight, and attending follow-up appointments.
Will there be visible scarring after the transplant?
FUE techniques leave tiny, dot-like scars that are virtually invisible, even with very short haircuts. There is no linear scar as with older FUT strip methods.
Can I dye or style my transplanted hair?
Yes, once fully healed (usually after 4-6 weeks), you can treat your transplanted hair just like natural hair. You can cut, style, color, and use hair products.
General Questions
Is the transplanted hair permanent?
Yes, transplanted hair is permanent. The follicles are taken from the donor area which is genetically resistant to the hormone that causes hair loss.
Do you offer a guarantee on results?
We offer a lifetime warranty on transplanted hair. Our success rate exceeds 98%, and we guarantee that the transplanted follicles will grow.
How do I travel to Turkey for the procedure?
We arrange everything for you. Once you book, our team will coordinate your travel dates, arrange VIP airport pickup, and book your 5-star hotel accommodation near our clinic.
Is it safe to have a hair transplant in Turkey?
Turkey is the world's leading destination for hair transplants, with over 500,000 procedures performed annually. Our clinic is JCI accredited, meeting the highest international healthcare standards.
What happens during the free consultation?
During your free consultation, you'll send us photos of your hair. Our specialists will analyze your hair loss pattern, determine the number of grafts needed, recommend the best technique, and provide a personalized treatment plan with transparent pricing.
