Hair Tansplantation

Frequently asked questions

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation)

Question: What is DHI and how does it differ from other methods?

Answer: DHI is a modern hair transplant technique where hair follicles are extracted from a donor area (usually the back of the head) and immediately transplanted into the balding area. The main difference between DHI and other methods is that the follicles are transplanted without prior incisions, which reduces the procedure time and increases the survival rate of the transplanted hair.

Question: How long does the DHI transplant process take?

Answer: The procedure can take anywhere from a few hours to eight hours depending on the amount of work involved and the number of follicles to be transplanted.

Q: Is this method suitable for all types of hair loss?

A: Yes, DHI is suitable for both men and women, regardless of the cause of baldness, including androgenic alopecia and traumatic hair loss.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)

Question: What is FUE and how does the procedure work?

Answer: FUE is a method of extracting follicles from the donor area and then transplanting them into the balding area. No visible scars are left on the skin as the transplanted hair is implanted through small microscopic incisions.

Question: What are the main advantages of FUE?

A: The main advantages of FUE are the seamless method, no scarring and quick rehabilitation. The method is suitable for people with varying degrees of baldness and for transplantation to different areas of the body.

Question: How long does it take for hair to start growing after FUE transplantation?

Answer: Usually the transplanted hair starts to grow a few months after the procedure, and the final results can be observed after 6-12 months.

DHI FUE (combined methods)

Question: What does the combined DHI and FUE method mean?

Answer: The combined DHI FUE method combines the advantages of both technologies: from the DHI method we take the precision of follicle transplantation and from the FUE method we take the efficient extraction of donor grafts. This allows for a more natural and dense result.

Question: In which cases is the combined method recommended?

Answer: The combined method is usually recommended when a large amount of hair needs to be transplanted or in complex cases where maximum density and naturalness needs to be achieved.

Sapphire FUE

Question: What is the difference between Sapphire FUE and regular FUE?

Answer: Sapphire FUE uses special instruments with sapphire blades that provide more precise incisions and less damage to the skin. This speeds up the healing process and reduces the risk of complications.

Q: What are the benefits of Sapphire FUE?

A: Sapphire FUE allows hair transplantation with minimal scarring and faster recovery from the procedure. Hair starts to grow faster and the result looks natural and harmonious.

Moustache/Beard, Eyebrow Hair Transplantation

Question: Is it possible to transplant facial hair, such as a moustache or beard?

Answer: Yes, moustache, beard or eyebrow hair transplantation is an effective procedure to restore the density and shape of facial hair. Donor follicles are usually extracted from the back of the head or other areas of the body and transplanted into the desired area.

Q: What results can I expect after a facial hair transplant?

A: The result of a facial hair transplant usually looks natural, especially if the procedure is performed by an experienced professional. The transplanted hair begins to grow back a few months after the procedure.

Hairline Restoration

Question: What is hairline restoration?

Answer: Hairline restoration is a procedure where transplanted hair is implanted along the forehead line to improve its shape and density. It is particularly popular among men with the initial stages of baldness.

Question: How long do results last after hairline restoration?

A: The results of transplantation are long-lasting, and the new hair continues to grow just like your own hair. They usually retain their density and shape for many years.

Q: Is hairline restoration suitable for women?

A: Yes, the technique is suitable for women, especially if the cause of hair loss is due to hormonal changes or other medical factors.

Question: How do I prepare for a hair transplant?

Answer: Before the hair transplant procedure, it is important to consult a doctor and discuss all possible contraindications. A few days before the transplant, you should avoid alcohol, smoking and taking certain medications that can affect the healing process. It is also advisable to have the necessary tests done to make sure there are no infections or other health problems.

Are there age restrictions for hair transplants?

Answer: There is no age limit for hair transplantation, however, doctors often recommend that the procedure be performed before the age of 25, as this is the age at which the extent of hair loss can be more accurately assessed. For adult patients, hair transplantation may also be indicated for hair loss related to age or other factors.

How to choose the right hair transplant method?

Answer: The choice of transplant method depends on many factors: degree of baldness, hair texture, donor area and personal preference. Your doctor will help you choose the best option based on your condition and desired results.

What are the contraindications for hair transplantation?

Answer: Hair transplantation is not recommended in the presence of certain medical conditions such as severe chronic diseases, infectious diseases, blood clotting disorders, and exacerbation of dermatological diseases on the scalp. There may also be restrictions for people with an insufficient donor area.

What is the rehabilitation period after a hair transplant?

Answer: The recovery period after hair transplantation depends on the technique used, but on average lasts from 5 to 10 days. During this time it is necessary to follow the doctor's recommendations such as avoiding physical activity, protecting the transplanted area from damage and special care of the scalp. Mild swelling and redness may occur during the first few days, which usually subsides on its own.

When can I expect the final results of my hair transplant?

Answer: Transplanted hair goes through several growth phases. In the first 2-4 weeks after the procedure, you may experience hair loss - this is a normal part of the adaptation process. New hair will then begin to grow in 3-4 months. The full results of a hair transplant usually become visible after 9-12 months when all the transplanted follicles are activated.

What care is required for transplanted hair?

Answer: It is important to follow the doctor's instructions for caring for the transplanted hair. For the first few days after the procedure, you should not wash your hair or apply harsh products. After that, it is usually recommended to use mild shampoos and avoid direct sunlight. The doctor may also prescribe special products to stimulate hair growth and improve hair engraftment.

How long do hair transplant results last?

Answer: The results of hair transplantation can last for many years. The transplanted hair is not subject to hormonal loss, so it continues to grow in the same way as the rest of the hair. However, the natural aging process and possible changes in hormones can affect the overall volume of hair in the future.

Can hair from other parts of the body be transplanted if the donor area on the head is insufficient?

Answer: Yes, in some cases, if there is insufficient hair in the donor area on the head, it is possible to use hair from other parts of the body, such as the chest or back. This approach can be used for people with a limited donor area, although hair from different parts of the body may vary in texture and growth rate.

What to do if you are not satisfied with the result after a hair transplant?

Answer: If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your hair transplant, it is important to discuss this with your doctor to assess the reasons. In some cases, additional transplants may be needed to improve hair density or correct the growth line. Also, your doctor may suggest treatments to stimulate hair growth or adjust your hairstyle.

What risks and complications can occur after a hair transplant?

Answer: Like any surgical procedure, hair transplantation can have minor risks such as infection, inflammation or scarring. However, if all medical advice is followed and the transplant area is properly cared for, these risks are minimal.

Why choose Turkey for hair transplant?

Answer: Turkey has become a world leader in hair transplantation due to its highly qualified specialists, modern techniques and affordable prices.
