Hair transplant in Turkey. FAQ
Most of our patients ask similar questions and we decided to collect them in one place.
1. Hair transplant cost
Of course, the price of the issue worries most of all. Given the number of hair transplant clinics and centers, many make the mistake of choosing the cheapest option. Or, conversely, the most expensive.
Price focus is not always the best solution. Because pricing is influenced by many factors. For example, the number of people in the team, technical and medical equipment, the hype of the clinic.
We are a boutique clinic. We have all the resources to treat each patient carefully.
To make your dream come true and so that you do not have to come for a correction after a few years, we transplant the maximum number of grafts to the places where your hair will begin to fall out in 2-3 years.
And the price in our clinic is not tied to the number of grafts. The cost of hair transplant depends only on the method you choose: DHI or FUE. When a certain number of grafts were transplanted for a certain price and nobody cared about what would happen in a few years
2. Hair transplant - does it hurt?
We start by applying local anesthesia without injections, using a special instrument that injects the drug under the skin under pressure. When the skin is already anesthetized, we make standard injections. This process can still cause some painful sensations that quickly subside as the anesthesia begins to take effect. We also use mild sedatives if necessary.
3. Where will the operation take place?
The operation takes place in a clinic, in an operating room specially prepared for you. At any time, you can pause the procedure to go to the toilet or just take a break. There is also a scheduled lunch break.
4. What should I expect on the first night after hair transplant?
Upon completion of the procedure, the donor area on the back of the head will be bandaged, but the transplant area will be open. You will have a special pillow for you to sleep comfortably. During sleep, it is advisable to keep the head higher (as on a high pillow) in order to reduce postoperative edema as soon as possible.
It is also important that you take medications and supplements prescribed by your doctor.
Most patients do not feel pain on the first day after the transplant, but some are prescribed pain relievers.
5. How to wash your hair after the transplant?
After the hair transplant on the 3rd day, you should come to the clinic for control, where we will show you how to use hair spray and shampoo and wash your hair for the first time. In the future, you will wash your hair yourself every day for 10 days to get rid of the crusts.
You need to wash your hair with a special shampoo, after softening the scalp with a spray. We are happy to present these products to you.
6. Does hair fall out after transplant?
On the 15th day after transplant, transplanted hair will begin to fall out due to stress and within 60 days will completely fall out. After that, new hair will begin to appear from the transplanted roots. This is a completely normal and expected process. The transplanted hair roots stay in place and live happily ever after.
7. When can I see the transplant result?
Within 6 months, about 50% of the transplanted hair will show up, and by the end of the year already 90%. After 18 months, the new permanent hair will fully grow and you will be able to enjoy your new hairstyle.
8. Can I exercise after hair transplant?
During the first 10 days, you will need to protect your scalp from mechanical damage. You will also have to wait 20 days before swimming in the sea and 30 days before swimming in the pool. After 30 days, you can already go in for team sports and any other activities.
9. What else do I need to pay attention to?
It is not recommended to wear a hat after hair transplant, as the scalp must breathe and, if possible, not be subjected to mechanical pressure. In addition, hair dryers and hair gels can damage the transplanted hair.

10. What will happen in place of the hair that was removed for transplantation?
The hair in the donor area (usually on the back of the head), in comparison with the hair in the transplant area, is naturally much thicker and has strong roots. We collect one of 3 or 4 grafts in this area so as to maintain equal hair density. After collecting the grafts, the appearance of the donor area practically does not change, the occipital part of the head will look the same as before the transplant. In addition, there is good blood circulation in this area, so that the postoperative marks completely heal in 2-3 days.
