Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Transplants

1. Is the Hair Transplant Procedure Painful?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so the transplant itself is not painful. However, the anesthetic injections can cause mild discomfort, similar to a series of small pinpricks. Once the anesthesia takes effect, the intervention is generally very comfortable.

2. How Many Grafts Are Usually Transplanted?

On average, between 2,500 and 5,000 grafts are transplanted. The exact number depends on the size of the hair loss area, the condition of the donor area, and the desired density.

3. Is It Necessary to Shave My Head?

• FUE Method: Usually requires full or partial shaving of the head.
• DHI Method: Can often be performed without completely shaving the head, allowing you to keep your usual appearance.

4. How Should I Care for My Hair in the First 7 Days?

• Wash your hair only according to the doctor’s instructions, using a gentle technique and a special shampoo.
• Do not touch the transplanted area with your hands.
• Avoid sun exposure, excessive heat, saunas, swimming pools, and sports activities.
• Sleep with your head slightly elevated to reduce swelling.
• Do not wear tight hats or other tight head coverings.

5. When Can I Return to Work and Sports Activities?

• Office work is usually possible after 3–5 days.
• Light physical activity can generally be resumed after about 2 weeks.
• Intense sports activities must be avoided for 4–6 weeks.

6. How Much Does a Hair Transplant Cost in Turkey?

The average cost of a hair transplant ranges between €1,700 and €2,700. The price depends on the chosen method (FUE or DHI) and the number of grafts required.

9. Is There a Guarantee for the Results?

Yes. We provide official clinic documents and a guarantee certificate. We also provide online consultations and post-procedure monitoring.

10. Will the Result Look Natural?

Yes. The doctor designs the hairline according to your facial features and the natural direction of hair growth. Modern techniques allow for very natural results.

11. What Happens to the Donor Area?

Grafts are taken from the back of the head, where hair follicles are genetically resistant to falling out. The extraction is performed evenly to avoid visible hair thinning in this area.

12. Are There Any Risks or Complications?

The main risks are usually associated with improper care after the procedure. Mechanical trauma, excessive sweating, or sun exposure can affect the grafts. If the doctor’s recommendations are carefully followed, complications are extremely rare.

13. Do I Have Enough Hair for a Transplant?

This can only be determined by the doctor during the consultation. In most cases, the donor area at the back of the head provides enough grafts to cover the areas affected by hair loss.

14. What Happens If the Transplanted Hair Falls Out?

Between weeks 2 and 4 after the procedure, the transplanted hair may temporarily fall out. This process is normal and is called “shock loss” (temporary post-transplant shedding). New hair growth usually begins again after 2–3 months.

15. When Will I Notice the Results?

The first visible improvements usually appear after 4–6 months. The final result is normally achieved within 9–12 months.

16. Can I Fly After a Hair Transplant?

Yes. Flying is generally allowed even the day after the procedure. We organize the transfers and provide travel instructions for a comfortable experience.

17. Can the Signs of the Procedure Be Hidden?

In the first 7–10 days, redness and small scabs are usually visible. These can often be covered with a loose cap, with the doctor’s approval.

18. Is Hair Transplantation Suitable for Women?

Yes. Hair transplants are also performed on women. The DHI method is particularly popular because, in many cases, it does not require completely shaving the head.

19. How Can I Overcome the Language Barrier at the Clinic?

All patients benefit from the services of an interpreter. The clinic also has Russian-speaking coordinators, and consultations are available online both before and after the procedure.
