Frequently Asked Questions

First of all, after determining how much of the hair has been shed and how many grafts will be transplanted under the control of the doctor, a special pricing process is made for the transplantation and how much the person will pay for the treatment is determined. In DHI hair transplantation, pricing is made according to the number of grafts to be transplanted.

After being examined by specialist doctors and determining the type of hair loss, the first stage starts with a front hairline design suitable for the face shape of the patient. If the grafts collected after the design are planted according to the direction of hair growth and planted at the planned frequency, natural hair transplantation can be done.

It takes time for the hair growth cycle to return to normal after hair transplantation. Planted roots begin to grow out from under the skin after 3-4 months.

The first year of hair transplantation is very important. The transplanted hair enters the normal growth cycle at the end of the 6th month and attains a natural appearance at the end of the 10th or 12th month, depending on the physiological structure of the person.

As in every operation, after hair transplantation, the body enters the process of adaptation to the procedure. Hair loss can be observed in the first 1 to 5 weeks after transplantation. However, this is a temporary situation. The rate of hair loss may vary according to various reasons such as the technique used, the thinness of the person’s scalp and the structure of the hair.

The best hair transplant method varies from person to person. The reason for this is that there are different types of hair loss. Hair transplantation techniques should be treated with the most appropriate method for the patient’s hair loss type.

Men who are in their early 20s may face the problem of hair loss. Hair loss is seen in 60% of men in their 30s and in 30% of men in their 40s.

In FUE hair transplantation, the hair follicles in the donor area are taken one by one and transplanted to the area to be transplanted one by one. This technique is performed with millimetric instruments in a seamless and seamless manner.

The DHI technique is based on the FUE method. As in the hair transplantation process with the FUE technique, the roots are taken, the channels are opened and the hair transplantation process takes place. In the DHI hair transplantation method, the hair follicles are taken with a special pen and the roots are transplanted outside without losing time, unlike the FUE method. They differ from each other because their application forms are different.

In the FUE technique, the roots are taken from the donor area without making an incision on the scalp. In this way, the recovery process after the procedure is fast. Since the healing process is fast, there is no need to wait too long between sessions. The absence of pain and tissue sensation loss in patients after hair transplantation with the FUE technique is among the advantages.

Hair follicles are collected from the nape of people who want to have hair transplantation, from the place we call the donor area, and there is a piece of tissue inside these hair follicles, which is called graft.

If the patient’s donor area is suitable for the collection of roots and at least one year has passed between two hair transplants, a second hair transplant operation can be performed.

The causes of hair loss in women can be genetic, as well as seasonal or environmental effects during special periods such as pregnancy and menopause. Hair transplantation can also be applied to women for hair shedding due to such reasons.

Along with the developing technology, innovations have also occurred in hair transplantation methods. Thanks to FUE and DHI hair transplantation techniques, which provide the opportunity for unshaven hair transplantation, women can easily transplant hair to the desired area with hair follicles taken from the donor area.

The term Mega Session is used for applications with 4000-4500 grafts or more in only one session. It is the transplantation of high graft numbers for patients who have a very large balding area or who want to cover more areas with the least possible session.

The difference between mesotherapy and PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is the materials used. It is applied with ready-made vitamin cocktails, which we call mesotherapy, and platelets obtained from the person’s own blood are used in PRP.

It is a treatment method applied in the form of injection into the tissues that are planned to be treated in the body, which undergoes various procedures taken from the patient’s own blood. The active substance used in the treatment of PRP is platelet-rich plasma.

PRP application is effective if it is done in the form of 3 or 4 sessions with an interval of 2 weeks. This is expressed as 1 cure. At the end of a year, one or two cycles are recommended again.

Depending on where the PRP will be injected, the amount of blood taken may also vary. Hair loss treatment is injected into the scalp and the blood to be taken for this procedure is approximately 20 milliliters.

It ensures the regeneration of cells. When used in hair treatment, it helps to regenerate and regrow hair on the scalp.

Hair transplantation is a surgical operation and mild pain may be felt after the application, and painkillers can be taken under the control of the doctor.

Local anesthesia is applied during the hair transplant operation, so there is no pain during the procedure.

It is suitable for hair transplant operation in all seasons. However, care should be taken very seriously after hair transplantation. It is not recommended to stay under the sun for long hours or to swim in the sea, so summer months are not preferred.

It is risky in cases such as alcohol, smoking and consuming blood thinners such as aspirin before the operation. The process should proceed with the consultation of a specialist doctor.

There is no thickening of the existing hair, but the more the number of grafts transplanted, the denser the hair and a lush appearance.

Grafts are collected from the area of ​​healthy hair between the two ears in the nape area, which we call the donor area. In cases where the donor area is insufficient, the chest can also be taken from the chin area, but the first choice is always the nape area.

If the desired density is not achieved or the patient is not satisfied with the result, he can have hair transplanted again at least 1 year after the last operation.

In the post-operative period, edema may occur and small crusts may occur around the hair follicles in the area where the hair is transplanted. Mild aches and pains during the recovery period are side effects of hair transplantation. These side effects disappear in about 15 days.

In this regard, the age at which hair transplantation is performed is important. Because androgenetic type hair loss spreads over the years. In other words, the hair of a person who had a hair transplant at the age of 30 may fall out until their 50s. However, if a person whose hair loss has stopped is transplanted, the solution will be permanent.

After determining the most suitable planting technique, local anesthesia is applied to the patient. Grafts are collected from the donor area and these hair follicles are separated from the tissues and made ready for planting. After deciding on the number of grafts to be transplanted, the direction of the hairs, and the front hairline, hair follicles are placed in the determined bald area.

If the hair taken from the donor area is healthy enough and the transplantation process has been carried out successfully, the baldness problem is completely eliminated.

The duration of the operation varies according to the number of grafts to be transplanted and the hair transplantation technique used. With an average value, we can say that it is a process that takes at most 8 hours.

Although there is no specific age for hair transplantation, the majority of those who have hair transplantation are between the ages of 25-45. In general, male pattern hair loss stops after the age of 40, and if hair transplantation is performed at this age, it can be an ideal choice as there will be no shedding later.

There is no specific time frame. It is recommended to have it done whenever the person feels ready.

Although there is no certain age limit, hair transplantation at an early age gives better results. The most important factor in hair transplant operation is whether the hair loss has been completed or not. Especially in male pattern hair loss, the rate of shedding starts to slow down around the age of 40. After this period, the problem of baldness is definitely eliminated in hair transplantation. In short, hair transplants between the ages of 20 and 65 give successful results depending on their suitability in the donor area.

The length of the hair transplant operation depends on factors such as which hair transplant technique is applied and how many grafts are used. The processing time takes place on average between 6 and 8 hours.

There is no specific time frame to perform the hair transplant operation. However, hair transplant operation is not recommended in the summer months, as it is inconvenient to be exposed to sunlight after the operation and to enter the sea or the pool.

Before the hair transplant operation, it is okay for the person to have their hair cut according to their wishes.

If the person does not want the hair transplant operation to be known, he needs a waiting period of 10 to 14 days to allow the donor area to heal. If there is no concern about confidentiality, it is possible to return to work or social activities within 4 days after the operation.

It takes 1 year to see the result of the hair transplant operation. It takes 3-4 months for the transplanted roots to heal and the hair to grow. Afterwards, it takes 10-12 months for the hair to grow and to see the result completely.

In hair transplantation procedures, the patient is anesthetized with local anesthesia, so the pain is minimal or not felt at all.

Before and after the hair transplant operation, it should definitely proceed under the control of the doctor. Regularly used drugs should be reported to the doctor and if the drug needs to be interrupted in line with expert advice, the drug should be taken.

It is recommended to make the first cut approximately 2 months after the hair transplant operation. In order not to damage the newly planted hair follicles, it is more convenient to cut with scissors instead of a shaver.

Thanks to the developing new technologies and techniques, unshaven hair transplantation can be performed. With the FUE technique and DHI method, hair follicles can be collected from the donor area and transplanted to the desired area without the need for scraping the hair.

It is the most used and preferred FUE method in hair transplantation. Thanks to this method, any pain or pain is almost never felt.

If performed by a specialist doctor and a team, hair transplantation does not harm nerve cells at all. If the opened channels are adjusted to the required depth, the process is completed without damaging the roots or their surroundings while collecting roots from the donor area, so that the nerve cells are not damaged.

If the person wants the hair transplant operation to remain hidden, he should wait 10 to 14 days to allow the donor area to heal. However, if it is not a problem to remain confidential, he can return to his work and social life on the 4th day after the operation.

Hair transplantation is a very important process after the operation. In this process, attention should be paid to how the hair is washed, from the sleeping pillow to the quilt. Harmful sun rays and chemical shampoos and care products should be avoided. For any problem that comes to mind after the operation, the help of a specialist should be sought.

The human eye cannot tell the difference between 50%-100% hair density, so the desired density ratio should be at least 50% of the natural hair density. In hair transplantation, there are factors such as the thickness of the hair of the person, the health status of the donor area, and even the age and gender of the person that affect the density. In other words, in the first session, hair transplantation will be performed at a density of 35% to 45%.

The donor can be from different parts of the person’s own body, but no one else can be a donor. The only situation where someone else can be a donor is with identical twins.

The roots taken from the donor area cannot grow, but since they are quite frequent compared to other areas of the scalp, the dilution taken from the donor area will not be noticeable. Roots are taken at intervals and no space is left for them. In other words, it will not be obvious from the outside that the hair in the donor area does not regrow.

Hair loss type differs from person to person. For this reason, hair transplantation methods should be carried out in accordance with the type of shedding. However, the FUT technique, which is the oldest of the hair transplantation techniques, has lagged behind. FUE hair transplantation technique is the most preferred method because of its ease and the speed of the post-operative recovery process.

After hair transplantation, PRP treatment support can be given to accelerate the attachment of the hair follicles and the recovery period. There is no need for a certain waiting time for this process. In fact, the PRP supported FUE method is quite common and gives very successful results.

On the 3rd or 4th day after the hair transplant operation, the first wash will be carried out in the center where the hair transplant was performed. After the first wash, you should be informed by the specialist doctor about when and how to wash your hair.

After hair transplantation, there is a phase called shock shedding. In the place where the hair is transplanted, the hair strands on the hair follicles are temporarily shed and this shock loss is a one-time process.

Although the recovery process after the operation varies from person to person, it is a process that takes a completely natural hair appearance at the end of 1 year, passing through the stages of crusting, itching, redness and shock shedding within 1-2 weeks from the day of transplantation.

In order to collect grafts from the donor area, small holes are formed in the scalp and these holes form tiny blood clots. These clots and subsequent crusting also cause itching. Itching is a part of the natural process experienced after the operation.

The people who need hair transplantation the most are those who have been experiencing baldness due to male pattern hair loss for a long time. Men or women who have lost their hair due to trauma or burns are also suitable for hair transplantation. People of all genders and ages may want to have a beautiful appearance by having a hair transplant.

Minoxidil increases the time in the growth cycle of hair follicles and increases the diameter and length of fine hair, thereby increasing the quality of the hair. It also allows a new anagen cycle to begin.

After the hair transplant operation, acne may occur due to reasons such as trying to get the transplanted hair follicles to the surface of the skin, not keeping the planting area clean, leaving the roots inside by not being able to be taken completely, and opening the channels too deep.

A person who has a hair transplant with the FUE technique does not have any scars after the operation. After the operation performed with the FUT technique, a thin line remains in the donor area of ​​the neck.

Hair will continue to grow continuously like our natural hair in the transplanted areas of people who have had hair transplantation.

Hair growth time may vary from person to person. However, in general, after the 2nd month, shock shedding ends and hair follicles begin to grow. In the 4th month, the hair strands lengthen and begin to take shape. By the 6th month, the hair follicles grow between 45 and 80 percent.

With the FUE technique or the DHI method, hair transplantation can be performed without cutting the person’s hair.

In previous hair transplant operations, the area had to be shaved completely while removing hair follicles. The patients did not like to walk around with half-shaved hair. This problem has been eliminated with the FUE Unshaven Hair Transplant technique.

If the hair follicles in the area we call the donor area on the nape are insufficient or the bald area is large, hair can be removed from the body. However, hair transplantation made from body hair is generally preferred for intensification as it is not completely similar to the hair follicle.

In people whose hair loss has almost stopped, it is observed that there is thinning weak hair in certain areas instead of complete baldness. In such a case, thinning weak hair can be intensified by hair transplantation, and it can be made to look more lush.
