Hair Transplant in Turkey

The first step of any hair transplant begins with an in-depth consultation with a hair specialist. During this session, the doctor evaluates the quality and density of the donor area, discusses the patient’s expectations, and determines the most suitable transplant method (FUE or FUT). This consultation also clarifies the objectives and establishes a personalized treatment plan.

Before the procedure, specific preoperative instructions are given to the patient, such as stopping certain medications or managing their hair care routine. On the day of the transplant, the donor area is often shaved to facilitate access to the follicles.

The procedure begins with the administration of local anesthesia to minimize discomfort during the intervention. For the FUE technique, each follicle is extracted individually with a specialized tool, while for FUT, a strip of scalp is removed from the donor area. The follicles or strip are then prepared under a microscope before transplantation.

The follicles are implanted one by one into the pre-marked recipient area. Each follicle is precisely placed to ensure a natural appearance and optimal density. This step is crucial and requires significant expertise to align the follicles in the natural direction of hair growth.

If the FUT method is used, the donor area is sutured and will heal over time. After the procedure, detailed post-operative care instructions are provided, including recommendations for hair washing, medications to reduce inflammation, and precautions to take.

In the first few days following the procedure, it is essential to treat the transplanted area carefully. The scalp is usually washed very gently to avoid disturbing the new grafts. Swelling and redness may occur but typically subside after a few days.

Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress and ensure that the transplanted area is developing satisfactorily. This follow-up can help adjust certain aspects of the treatment if necessary and ensure the patient is happy with the final result. It is normal for transplanted hair to shed within three to four weeks after the transplant, a phenomenon known as "transplant shock." This shedding is temporary and part of the natural growth process. Hair regrowth typically begins after three months, with final results often visible by the end of the first year.

In men, hair loss is primarily due to androgenetic alopecia, a hereditary condition where hair loss typically manifests from the front to the crown. Hair follicles, located beneath the scalp, produce hair from a nutrient-rich bulb. Their size and shape, determined genetically, directly influence the texture and thickness of the hair.
Hair transplantation for men often uses the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique, where follicles are individually extracted from the donor area, usually at the back of the head, where hair is more resistant to loss. This minimally invasive method leaves no linear scars and allows for quick recovery.

In women, hair loss can result from various causes, such as hormonal changes, particularly during menopause, or medical conditions like anemia or thyroid imbalances. Unlike men, hair loss in women often presents as diffuse thinning rather than clearly defined bald spots.
For women, hair transplant techniques in Turkey also include FUE, but with particular attention to the density and placement of grafts to achieve a natural and dense result. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) is another option, where a strip of scalp is removed before the follicles are separated and transplanted. While this method may leave a linear scar, it is often more cost-effective and allows for large areas to be treated in a single session.
Whether for aesthetic or psychological reasons, hair transplantation offers both men and women the opportunity to regain not only their hair but also their confidence.
