Hair transplantation is a medical procedure that offers a natural and permanent solution to the problem of thinning and baldness in people with hair loss or baldness. In this procedure, healthy hair follicles are transplanted to the areas where the hair follicle is no longer active and balding occurs by microsurgical methods.

The patient’s own healthy hair is used in hair transplantation. The hair follicles in the nape area, which are resistant to hair loss, are collected and transplanted into the channels opened in the thinning or completely lost parts.

FUE hair transplant is a very widely used method today. In this method, no drilling or cutting is performed on the scalp. The hair follicles in the nape area are taken one by one with the method chosen by the patient. These follicles are transplanted to the application area one by one. Therefore, the hair transplant process takes longer compared to other methods. Today, the FUE hair transplant technique is performed with micromotors rather than punches. FUE hair transplant, which has various options, is known by different names according to the way it is applied. These names are briefly as follows:

• Micro FUE hair transplant: In this technique, hair follicles are taken by means of equipment with micro tips. In the method using micromotors, 0.6-0.9 mm diameter holes are drilled in the tips. The hair follicle and the surrounding tissue structures are removed.
• Sapphire FUE hair transplant: The only difference of sapphire FUE hair transplant is that the tips used are made of sapphire, not metal. Sapphire is preferred because it is more effective in opening microchambers and has less crusting.
• Soft FUE hair transplant: A hair transplant operation is performed with sedation-oriented drugs. In this anesthesia method, the patient does not feel pain or ache but is conscious.

• First stage: For FUE hair transplant, the hair in the area where the follicles will be taken is shortened to 1 mm in length. Hair follicles and grafts are collected one by one from the area numbed with local anesthesia. The most important point to be considered while performing this procedure is to take the roots and grafts in the direction of exit. The non-destructive extraction of the roots and grafts is one of the important parameters that ensure the success of the operation. You will feel the difference between successful operations before and after FUE very clearly.
• Second stage: After the hair follicles are collected, the next step is to open the channels where the hair follicles will be placed. Canals are opened in the scalp using metal or sapphire tips. The reason why sapphire is preferred more than metal is that it provides smoother channels. In addition, since it does not traumatize the scalp, it ensures that the hair follicles are healthy.
• Third stage: The third and last stage is the hair transplant process. After the canal opening process, hair transplant is performed one by one as in the harvesting method. The reason why we recommend applications with sapphire-tipped blades is that they have a sharp and smooth structure. Thanks to this structure, healthy grafts can be taken without damaging the scalp where the hair follicles and grafts are collected.

The FUE hair transplant method has many advantages. Some of these are as follows:

• Since there is absolutely no cutting or drilling during the procedure, there is no scar.
• The hair follicles taken from donor area can also be used in areas such as eyebrows, mustache, and beard if needed.
• The procedure is painless.
• It is an important detail that the recovery period is shorter than the FUT technique and the healing process is more trouble-free.
• You can achieve a visually good appearance in about 6 months.
• There is no health problem during and after the procedure.
• Within 1 to 1.5 years, healthy hair with the desired naturalness can be reached.
• Among the hair transplantation methods, the most natural appearance can be achieved with this method.
• It is the most suitable technique for permanent and healthy hair structure.
• Even if the person has completely lost hair, this technique can also be applied with donors taken from the chest and leg area.

The Sapphire Fue technique is a method that will allow the patient to recover in a shorter time after treatment. However, the patient should follow the recommendations of the specialist physician. Sapphire Fue hair transplant costs are determined according to different factors such as donor area, and hair transplant density. It is difficult to give a fixed price. Price ranges vary according to each patient.

As there are factors to be considered before a hair transplant, it is also important afterward. Smoking and alcohol use prolongs the healing process. Therefore, you should quit 1 week before the treatment. It is also recommended not to consume for 1-2 weeks after the treatment. Your quality of life after Sapphire Fue hair transplant will be better than other procedures. You should take care not to exert too much effort. If you pay attention to your diet, you can recover in a short time.

First of all, health checks are performed for people who will have hair transplantation. There should not be a health problem that will prevent them from receiving treatment. If the patient’s hair loss is treatable, a hair transplant is not performed. Treatments to stop hair loss are applied. If no results are obtained from the treatment, a suitable hair transplant method is decided.

When the Sapphire FUE hair transplant method is decided, there are some points that the patient should pay attention to before the treatment. The following should be considered before hair transplantation;

• Patients who smoke should quit or reduce smoking 1 week before the treatment.
• Alcohol, coffee, and drinks containing caffeine should not be consumed 1 week before the treatment.
• If you are taking any medications, you should inform your physician and continue to use medication in line with his/her recommendations.
• You should stop using multivitamins that prevent clotting or additional supplements before the operation.
• For 1 week, no gel, spray, lotion, or medication should be applied to the scalp.
• Since the operation will take a long time, you should definitely have breakfast and choose a comfortable outfit that you can wear and take off comfortably.

The Sapphire FUE hair transplant method, which is technically the same as FUE hair transplant, prefers sapphire, not metal, in the type of blade it uses. This technique, which takes its name and difference from here, prevents tissue destruction with the effect of sapphire during the channel creation phase. In a process where there is no destruction, it takes a very short time to heal. In this method, which usually lasts for a single session, it is necessary to have suitable roots for hair transplant. If there is a possibility of treatment for hair loss, a transplant is not preferred. In the case of transplant, microchannels are opened and hair follicles are transplanted into these channels. In the Sapphire FUE hair transplant technique, local anesthesia is preferred to prevent pain and aches. The duration of the operation, which is carried out by expert surgeons, takes an average of 4 to 5 hours.

DHI hair transplant is a hair transplant technique that has been frequently used recently. The biggest difference that distinguishes this technique from other methods is the channel stage. While in other methods, a canal is opened to place the grafts, in the DHI method, hair follicles are transplanted directly under the skin with the help of special pens.

In DHI hair transplant, as in other methods, the patient is first subjected to a general examination. In this examination, certain tests are performed and the general health status of the patient is examined. If there is no obstacle to the procedure, a DHI hair transplant begins. Before the DHI hair transplant, the patient is taken to the hairline design. The hairline suitable for the patient’s face and head structure is designed in line with the patient’s wishes and the recommendations of the hair transplant specialist. After this stage, the harvesting process is started. Although the donor area is usually the nape of the neck, in some cases, other hairy parts of the body can also be harvested. The extraction process is performed with the help of a special micromotor. Hair follicles are collected one by one from the donor area. After this stage, the hair follicles are transplanted directly under the skin with the help of special pens. Since local anesthesia is applied in the DHI hair transplant procedure, the patient does not feel pain or ache during the procedure. DHI hair transplant can take approximately 6-8 hours.

The patient who does not have any obstacles in the general examination is taken to the hairline design. The drawing is completed with the patient’s wishes and the joint decision of the specialist. After these procedures are completed, the patient’s operation is started. Hair is taken from the areas of the person’s body where there is hair. Generally, in this method, the nape area is preferred as a donor. DHI hair transplant is applied to the patient without opening the canal. The grafts taken with a special pen are transplanted directly under the skin. The hairs are taken one by one and transplanted one by one as a result of great devotion. During this whole process, local anesthesia is used to prevent the patient from feeling pain. The duration of a DHI hair transplant, which is a detailed and efficient technique, takes an average of 6 to 8 hours.

• In the DHI hair transplant method, since there is no grooving process, the waiting time for the grafts taken is shorter. In this way, grafts provide an advantage in preserving their vitality.
• Transplant is performed with special pens called Choi Pen. Thanks to this special pen, a tighter transplantation is performed.
• More dense hair paves the way for a more natural appearance.
• Recovery time after a DHI hair transplant is shorter than other methods.

The hybrid hair transplant method is an innovative hair transplant method applied by combining DHI and FUE Sapphire methods. With the hybrid method, the DHI hair transplant method is used to tighten the patient’s sparse hairy areas and to obtain a natural appearance, while the Sapphire FUE method is used for balding areas where baldness is intense. Thus, the positive aspects of both methods are brought to the fore and natural, dense, and dense hair is obtained as a result of the procedure.
In hybrid hair transplant, the positive aspects of DHI and Sapphire FUE methods are combined. With the DHI hair transplantation method, transplantation is performed to thicken the patient’s thinning hair areas. The first 3 rows of the patient’s front hairline can be transplanted with the Sapphire FUE method, while the remaining hair can be transplanted with the DHI method.

As a result, while hair transplantation is performed by opening a channel with Sapphire FUE in balding areas, the DHI method is preferred in places where there is hair but densification is desired.
Since each hair loss is unique to each person, the hair method to be used during the transplant is determined according to the patient’s wishes and the suitability of the patient’s hair loss type. You can get information by contacting our professional consultants at our Hair Center of Turkey hair transplant service to determine the most suitable hair transplant method for you according to your hair loss type.

For some patients, the number of hair transplant sessions may vary. This change due to the individual characteristics of the person may vary according to the hair structure. If the patient’s hair strands are thick, curly, and dark in color and the hair lightness is low, the desired result can be obtained in a single session. However, it is very difficult to say the same for patients with thin, straight, and light-coloured hair. Apart from all these, if the hair lightness is also high, then more than one session may be required. Therefore, the hair transplant period is prolonged and the desired result may take a little more time. These session intervals, which are required in order not to wear out the hair follicles, are determined in line with the patient’s expectations and the surgeon’s recommendations.

Hybrid hair transplant is a method that combines DHI and sapphire FUE hair transplant techniques. Hybrid, known for being an innovative method, contributes significantly to the formation of dense hair. DHI hair transplant method is generally preferred when the patient undergoes an operation for thinning hair. If another patient has a balding problem, it is known that the sapphire FUE hair transplant technique is preferred. However, the hybrid hair transplant technique can be applied to people who have both problems and need to benefit from the benefits of both techniques. The use of two different techniques together is a factor that increases the cost. Therefore, hair transplant operation is carried out in a detailed and meticulous manner. Hybrid hair transplant operation, which you should prefer highly qualified specialist surgeons in the field, takes an average of 6 to 8 hours.

Cosmetic products do not bring back hair that has been lost from the root. It makes the existing hair thicken or grow. It adds health and nourishment. Before starting a woman hair transplant operation, it is necessary to learn the underlying problem.
The hair loss rate is very important. Hair loss of 100-150 strands per day is considered normal by dermatologists. If there is more hair loss than this, the underlying cause should be found.
Due to a lack of malnutrition, minerals, vitamins and protein in the body, weakness and loss of strength in hair and nails will begin. Anemia is frequently seen in women due to menstruation. Anemia and iron deficiency also lead to hair loss. Vitamins A, C, D, and E are very important requirements for hair health.
The most predominant cause of hair loss in women is hormones. This loss increases twice as much during menopause. DHT hormone causes hair loss. They can be examined by giving routine tests.

• When the underlying problem is solved, hair transplantation in women also results positively.
• Hair loss in women progresses more slowly than in men.
• You should make sure that you choose to visit the right clinic and team.
• The most preferred donor area is the nape of the neck.
• Hair transplantation can be performed on burns and scars if blood circulation is appropriate.
• If diabetes and blood pressure rates are not at risky levels, hair transplantation is applied if it does not trigger the heart of blood pressure in patients.
• Patients with HIV and Hepatitis B-E can now get a hair transplant in the Hair Center of Turkey with hygienic precautions.
• Smoking may reduce the result of the procedure. Therefore, the patient is recommended to take a break for a few days.
• The procedure is technically the same for men and women.

There are 3 types of hair loss in women. Our priority is to determine which type. After determining the type, we will talk about women hair transplant.
Type 1; It is almost not visible at all. This hair loss is located at the crown of the head. There is no scalp appearance.
Type 2; Thinning of the hair is noticeable. It is clear that the hair has lost density. This stage is the appropriate time for hair transplantation. Both significant hair loss is prevented and results are obtained in a short time.
Type 3; It is the phase with the highest hair loss. The scalp is clearly visible. The hair looks sparse. Hair loses its health and starts to take on a worse appearance without intervention.

Although there are many different options as hair transplantation methods in women, it can be considered as 2 types. Long hair transplant and unshaven hair transplant are some of these types.
In long hair transplants in women; a shaving machine is not used. The hair we call donor hair is collected long. These hairs are transplanted long to the area where hair transplantation will be performed. In unshaven hair transplant; the front, side, and upper parts of the hair are not shaved. Only the donor part at the back of the head is shaved. The shaved area is not visible thanks to the hair of people with long hair.

FUE and DHI, Follicular Unit Extraction and Direct Hair Transplantation, women hair transplant is performed with two different methods. Between these two methods, the doctor examines and decides according to the hair condition and informs the patient.

• The DHI method may be a little more costly than the FUE technique.
• Shaving is mandatory in the FUE method. DHI offers hair transplantation without shaving.
• DHI is used for hair transplant in small areas, while FUE is used for hair transplant in large areas.

In unshaven hair transplant; Since only the back part is shaved, the shaving area is not visible in patients with long hair. In this way, the patient continues his daily life without waiting for his hair to grow.

The hair transplant technique applied to individuals of African and Caribbean origin with an average of 50,000 to 100,000 hair strands is called Afro hair transplant. These people with tightly curled, wavy, and curly hair follicles may differ from other patients in terms of physical appearance, hair structure, and skin structure.

How is Afro Hair Transplant Performed?

Afro hair transplant is similar to other methods and can be performed using both DHI and FUE techniques. The most challenging factor in this operation is that the grafts taken from the donor area are curved under the scalp. Therefore, follicle harvesting should be performed more meticulously and carefully. In people with this hair type, problems such as fraying and breakage are very common due to hair density. With the start of the Afro hair transplant operation, the localized scalp is made ready for transplant.

It is also important to remove the grafts, which should be removed with a micromotor without damaging the hair follicles in the donor area while remaining in the same form. The roots are kept in a special solution and transferred. Another important point in this regard is that individuals with afro hair texture are prone to keloid scar deformation due to their scalp structure. It is inevitable to get a successful result with the necessary care and attention in the operation and aftercare being the responsibility of the patient.

Afro hair transplant is different from hair transplant performed on Caucasian and Asian individuals. This hair transplant is applied to people of African and Caribbean origin. Since the hair follicles of people belonging to this race are more characteristic and parallel compared to other hairs, their growth progresses slowly. Apart from racial reasons, Afro hair transplant can be applied to any individual with curly hair structure and dense curls. The suitability of the donor area and general health status are sufficient for the approval of the operation.

Afro hair transplant is a permanent microsurgical solution to hair loss caused by genetic, hormonal, or environmental factors in women of African and Caribbean origin. Cicatric Alopecia or Traction Alopecia conditions, which are common in African individuals, cause hair loss. This condition transforms the damaged hair follicles of women of African and Caribbean origin into scar tissue.

The most natural solution to these diagnoses, which cause permanent thinning and hair loss complications, is an Afro hair transplant. In this method, the FUE technique is generally preferred due to its dense and curly structure. However, the DHI method, which is performed only by shaving the donor area, tightening the existing hair, and camouflaging the opening, can be considered more suitable for afro hair transplant. Afro hair transplant can be applied to any woman with tight curls and curly hair, suitable for general health status and donor area.

Hair transplant is performed in more than one area. Especially in patients with male pattern hair loss, 7 different transplant areas appear. However, these regions are collected in 3 different areas as front, middle and back regions. Hair loss can have many negative effects. The emotions that a person looking at himself in the mirror will feel and the poses he will give while taking a photo are usually based on the front region. The front part, which is very compatible with the facial area of the person, should not forget the gap in the back. Therefore, hair transplant can be performed from front to back. The health status and adequacy of the donor area may affect the process depending on the size and openness of the patient’s hair loss. If the donor area of the patient is not sufficient to fill the gap formed in the 3 parts, the transplant process can be performed in the gaps formed in the front and middle parts. Therefore, vertex hair transplant is preferred after an average of 1 year. In case of a 2nd session, vertex hair transplant may be recommended.

The region of importance may differ from patient to patient. Therefore, a person who considers the anterior region more critical than the vertex region may think that the planting area is only the anterior region. If a patient wants a natural and aesthetic appearance, he/she should know that the vertex area also plays a very important role. There is a risk that the crown, which does not accompany the frontal area, may cause different images from different profiles. This can have many negative effects.

Unlike the frontal regions of the people who will undergo vertex hair transplant, degrees are also given to the channel angles. Therefore, it is called 360 degree vertex hair transplant. This situation, which creates a very natural appearance, can reach different dimensions for those who want to keep their hair short. If a person wants to grow their hair, the direction of the hair in the vertex area may not seem very important, but the fact that the channel directions of short-haired people are visible brings 360 degrees to the fore. This technique, which provides a natural appearance, is one of the most ideal options.

There are many methods for hair transplant. The transplant method should be determined according to the general health status and needs of the patient. At the end of the process, which should be carried out by a specialist doctor in the field, vertex hair transplant may be deemed appropriate. Therefore, the question of “How is vertex hair transplant performed?” is wondered. 

The results of the examination performed on the patient before the operation are very critical. If the patient does not have any problems, a plan is made for the operation. There are more than one point where the grafts taken from the donor area will be transplanted. The locations, which usually consist of 3 different sizes, right-left, up-down and depth, may vary according to the tissue thickness. The hill region, which is thicker than the front region, should be taken into consideration during planning. It should not be forgotten that the patient’s demands should also be taken into consideration. After all stages are successfully completed, surgery can be started.

Anaesthesia method is applied to prevent the patient from feeling pain and suffering during the procedure. Then a 360-degree shape is given to the region with right and left angles. It is very important to plant the grafts carefully in operations where the up and down direction structure should also be carefully adjusted. Failure to show the necessary care in the procedure and planting the grafts in a way that the grafts remain on the face may cause loss of hair follicles in the area. Therefore, you should make sure that you choose the right doctor.

The things to be considered in vertex hair transplant directly affect the healing process of the patient. Especially the stage of hair transplant planning is important. If there is a risk that the patient’s hair loss problem will be continuing, this may damage the whole process. The plan should be made according to the hair loss status of the patient. Otherwise, although the vertex hair transplant operation may produce a successful result in the first place, it may cause undesirable results shortly after the operation. The biggest reason for this is the change in the shedding map. In addition, the increase in the opening formed in the vertex area may also reveal undesirable results.

It should be known that hair loss in the patient will not occur in the transplanted areas. While no hair loss is expected in correctly transplanted grafts, the continued loss of other hair follicles in the area may mislead the patient. The completion of shedding creates a gap in the areas outside the transplanted area. This causes the formation of a ring-shaped cavity. This appearance, also known as ‘ponytail’ among the people, affects the loss of naturalness and aesthetics. As a result, in order not to be adversely affected both psychologically and aesthetically, the person should take into consideration the things to be considered in vertex hair transplant. It should not be forgotten that the risks that may occur with proper planning and analysis will be eliminated and the patient will reach the most accurate information with the right doctor selection.

There is a difference in the vertex hair transplant results compared to the transplants performed in the frontal region. The fact that the clotting in the region is less and thicker directly affects the hair growth process and growth. While more nourishment of the hair transplanted to the frontal region provides faster results, the results of hair transplant in the crown region can be expected to take a little longer. 

It may be misleading for patients who resolve the hair loss in the front and crown areas at the same time to expect the same result at the same time. Therefore, as a result of 6-7 months, you may notice that while the density increases in the front area, the same density does not occur in the crown area. It should not be forgotten that this situation, which should not cause any concern, will be resolved over time. After a certain period of time, the hair transplanted to the crown area will also begin to thicken. 

The crown area, which cannot be nourished as much as the front area, may need to be supported with care products recommended by the doctor. Therefore, the vitamins in the creams specially prepared for the region meet the needs of the hair follicles. 

There is not much difference between what should be considered after vertex hair transplant and what should be considered after normal hair transplant. As after every hair transplant, the lying position is a critical detail in this method. A neck pillow can be preferred in the sleeping position to prevent damage to the area after transplant. The patient, who should take care to sleep in the supine position, may be recommended to continue in this position for about 10 days after the hair transplant procedure.

This time interval, which is necessary for the hair follicles to attach to the tissue, facilitates the rapid completion of the healing process and the successful result. Also, the area should be protected from possible impacts. Within 10 days, possible impacts, rubbing and bumps may cause the hair follicles to move or not settle. 

During the first 10 days after vertex hair transplant, the patient, who makes the treated area safer by using a neck pillow, should take care to sleep by pulling his chin to his chest. In addition, among the things to be considered after vertex hair transplant is to follow the doctor’s recommendations and to use the prescribed medications regularly. In this way, you can achieve the desired result after hair transplant both in a shorter time and more successfully.

Vertex hair transplant costs vary depending on more than one reason. The demands of the patient who will prefer the operation and the needs such as the width of the gap formed in the area directly affect the costs. If the graft amount needs to be used more for hair transplant, it cannot be expected to be in the same cost range as low-quantity transplants. Therefore, different package options are offered to each patient and different cost ranges are requested. 

In addition, the equipment and experience of the doctor who will perform the surgery also determines the costs. The adequacy and technological equipment of the hospital where the patient goes for the procedure may also cause costs to change. Therefore, you can avoid possible misunderstandings by getting information about vertex hair transplant costs from the hospital where you are considering the procedure.

Painless hair transplant with sedation is an anesthesia method preferred especially by people who are afraid of needles and pain during anesthesia. Today, hair transplant is one of the procedures preferred by those who have baldness problems on the scalp, who do not lose all of their hair but have sparse hair.

People who want to have hair transplant think that they will experience pain and suffering during the procedure, but with the “sedated hair transplant” method, you can have painless hair transplants without any pain and suffering.

Hair, beard, and eyebrow transplant is performed under the supervision of experienced specialist doctors at the Hair Center of Turkey’s hair transplant service. In our hair transplant service, you can have a hair transplant with the “sedated hair transplant” method. Thanks to a sedated hair transplant, you can have healthy and lush hair without experiencing any pain and pain during the transplant operation.

A painless hair transplant is a process of putting the patient to sleep. In sedated hair transplantation, sedative and relaxing anesthetic drugs are injected intravenously into the patient’s arm. As the drugs take effect, the patient goes into a state of light sleep. Afterward, the hair restoration procedure deemed appropriate for the patient is performed. During the hair transplant process, the transplant process is completed without the patient feeling any pain or suffering. Thanks to sedated hair transplants, patients can spend the operation process comfortably.

This puts the patient into a state of light sleep for 10-20 minutes. When the drugs start to take effect, the local anesthesia required for the transplant is performed. During this process, the patient does not feel the side effects of local anesthesia and does not feel any pain or soreness. Afterwards, hair transplant performed with a method suitable for the patient.

Unlike most hair transplant services, hair transplant procedures at the Hair Center of Turkey are performed only with sedation anesthesia. In this way, the patient has a comfortable hair transplant process.

Local anesthesia is usually performed in hair restoration procedures. However, patients who are afraid of anesthesia needles and do not want to experience pain and pain apply for sedated anesthesia. You can apply for sedated anesthesia if you have the following conditions:
You are afraid of needles,
If you have an anxiety disorder,
If your pain threshold is very low,
You have heart disease and high blood pressure,
The sedation method is used for people who are afraid of surgery. In this way, patients will get through the operation process much more comfortably.

Hair transplant before and after pictures are among the most curious things for people who want to have a hair transplant. In the pictures after hair transplant, the happiness of men and women suffering from hair loss after hair restoration is read from their eyes. If you are suffering from hair loss or, a sparse and bald scalp, you can apply to our Hair Center of Turkey. You can ask questions about the hair transplantation process from our expert consultants.

Hair Loss Treatment

While hair loss in men is more common due to genetic reasons called androgenetic alopecia, hair loss in women is seen due to B12, vitamin, and mineral deficiency. In addition, hair loss in women increases during pregnancy and menopause. One of the best things that can be done against existing hair loss and balding is hair transplant surgery.

During this time, the transplanted hair will fall out. This is called shock shedding. It is quite normal. This process takes about 2 weeks. While shock shedding occurs, in order to nourish the hair follicle through the blood, patients should consume plenty of fluids to nourish the hair follicle through the blood;

• Consume plenty of fluids
• Avoid smoking and alcohol use
• Healthy and regular nutrition
• Avoiding movements that will strain the body and make it sweat
• It should avoid exposure to sunlight.

In the 1-2 month period after hair transplant, it can be expected that hair tends to be thin and curly. However, this situation may vary from person to person. It can take an average of 3-4 months. Although the new hair grows thin at first, it thickens over time. It is also the time period when the donor area heals.

Hair strands start to thicken within 3-6 months after hair transplant. The donor area is completely healed.

Between 6-10 months is the period when patients notice the change visibly. Hair reaches its full consistency. The density of the hair reaches 50%. A hair brush can be used, cut, and shaved. However, it is still necessary to protect the hair from extremely hot and cold conditions.

Hair transplant in Istanbul is a popular and well-established procedure for the removal of hair loss and balding. The city has gained a reputation as a medical tourism center, especially for hair restoration treatments. We have identified some important points about hair transplantation in Istanbul, its advantages, and its differences from other countries:

• Hair Transplant Centers: Istanbul has a large number of hair transplant centers and experts specializing in hair transplants. Many of these facilities are equipped with the latest technology and experienced medical teams.
• Medical Tourism: Istanbul’s popularity as a medical tourism destination is due to its competitive prices, skilled specialists, and high-quality facilities. Patients often find the cost of a hair transplant in Istanbul more affordable than in many countries.

• Language Barrier: While many clinics have English-speaking staff to serve international patients, it should always be your priority to ensure clear communication with your chosen clinic to avoid any misunderstanding.
• Consultation: Most clinics offer online or in-person consultations where they assess your hair loss condition and recommend the best treatment approach. This is a crucial step to determine your suitability for the procedure and set realistic expectations.
• Procedure: A hair transplant typically involves several steps. These are removal of donor hair follicles, preparation of the grafts, and implantation into the recipient site. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and the duration can vary depending on the extent of hair loss.
• Recovery: Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to work within a few days to a week after the procedure. It is critical that you follow the post-operative instructions provided by your specialist for optimal results.
• Results: Hair transplant results are not immediate. The transplanted hair will initially fall out and new hair growth will begin within a few months. Significant improvements can be seen approximately 6 to 12 months after the procedure.
• Post-Procedure Care: Proper post-procedure care is essential to ensure the success of the procedure. You will receive instructions on how to care for the transplanted area, including avoiding strenuous activities and protecting your scalp from direct sun exposure.
• Risks and Cautions: While hair transplant is generally safe, like any medical procedure, it carries some risks. These can include infection, scarring, and sub-optimal results. Choosing a hair transplant center with experienced specialists can minimize these risks.

Remember that each individual’s situation is unique, so it is important to research thoroughly, consult reputable centers, and make an informed decision based on your specific needs and goals.

• Hair Transplant Cost: Hair transplant in Istanbul is generally more affordable compared to many Western countries, making it an attractive option for those looking for cost-effective treatments.
• Experienced Specialists: There are many clinics and surgeons specializing in hair transplants in Istanbul. Most of these professionals have extensive experience due to the high demand for the procedure.
• Advanced Facilities: Clinics in Istanbul are equipped with modern technology and state-of-the-art equipment that ensure high-quality treatments.
• Medical Tourism Infrastructure: Istanbul’s reputation as a medical tourism destination has led to the development of a strong infrastructure to support international patients, including language support, transportation, and accommodation.
• FUE Expertise: Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), a hair transplant technique, is widely practiced in Istanbul and many specialists have developed skills in this method.

Things to Consider:

• Language Barrier: While many clinics have English-speaking staff, language can still be a concern for some patients and can lead to potential misunderstandings.
• Travel Costs: While the cost of the procedure may be lower, patients need to factor in travel costs, accommodation, and potential time off work.

Advantages:

• Local Convenience: Having the procedure in your home country may be more convenient in terms of travel and communication. You do not have to deal with potential language barriers.
• Regulation and Oversight: Some countries have stricter regulations and oversight when it comes to medical procedures, which can provide an additional layer of patient safety.
• Health Insurance Coverage: In some cases, hair transplants may be covered by health insurance if done for medical rather than cosmetic reasons.

Things to Consider:

• Cost: Hair transplant can be more expensive in many Western countries due to higher overhead and labor costs.
• Specialization: While there are skilled specialists in various countries, the density of experienced hair transplant specialists may be higher in places like Istanbul due to high demand and established reputation.
• Technology: While technology is advanced in many places, clinics in Istanbul often have a reputation for being at the forefront of hair transplant technology and techniques.
• Waiting Times: Given the popularity of hair transplants in Istanbul, waiting times for appointments may be shorter in other countries.

In summary, Istanbul stands out as a global center for hair transplant due to its experienced specialists, advanced facilities, and cost-effectiveness. Other countries offer the advantage of local convenience and potential regulatory oversight, but patients may find these factors redundant to the benefits of undergoing the procedure in Istanbul. Ultimately, the decision depends on individual preferences, budget, and priorities.

It is a method in which a transplant is performed with hair taken from the nape of the patient. With the micromotor device, the hairs in the nape root of the patient are removed in a way that will not be damaged. After the removal process is completed, the hair follicles are placed in a special solution. The reason for this is to prevent the hair follicles from being damaged. Then the hair transplant process begins. This is where the DHI hair transplant technique differs from other methods. During the transplant, the hair is transplanted directly without opening a channel with a special pen. These hairs, which are transplanted one by one, are done with great devotion. The time of the operation varies according to the number of grafts transplanted. Therefore, the costs increase and the price varies.

One of the most popular hair transplant techniques of recent times is the sapphire FUE hair transplant method. The sapphire FUE technique, which is exactly the same as the FUE method, takes its difference from the sapphire used in its blade. This blade, which is preferred in the channel creation phase, prevents tissue destruction. The sapphire-tipped blade, which shortens the healing process, paves the way for a healthy operation. Apart from the above-mentioned advantages, the fact that the pre-operative analyses are included in the cost makes it difficult to estimate a fixed price.

This method, which combines FUE and DHI hair transplant techniques, is an innovative hair transplant method. We can say that a hybrid hair transplant can be preferred for a patient with thinning hair. The hybrid hair transplant method, which prefers the DHI hair transplant method for a natural appearance, also prefers the sapphire FUE hair transplant method for areas with dense baldness. This technique, in which the success rate increases even more by using two different methods, is not suitable for every patient. The hybrid hair transplant method, which is deemed suitable for the person as a result of the analyses made, differs in price due to the combination of two different techniques.

The part containing a small amount of skin and hair follicles is called a graft. One graft contains an average of 2 to 3 hair strands. To give an example from higher numbers, 3000 thousand grafts correspond to 5000 to 7000 thousand hair follicles. In hair transplant, where graft transplant is so important, the price estimation process changes from a patient to another. Graft transplant, which is preferred by many people in Turkey, varies according to the needs of the person. These needs, determined by expert surgeons, help determine the number of grafts to be transplanted. Factors affecting graft hair transplant prices are more than one. The graft need, which varies from patient to patient, can reach numbers such as 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, and 5000. When the number of grafts to be transplanted, the patient’s extra graft transplant demand, and the quality of the hair transplant center come together, it is very difficult to estimate the resulting cost.

The hairline of people experiencing hair loss is gradually receding. Wrong decisions should not be made with the panic caused by the anxiety about hair loss. The only solution to this process that causes regional balding is a hair transplant. Hair transplant, which allows your hair to appear in its old form, attracts attention with its success rate. A patient who has a hair transplant should pay attention to care to prevent infection after transplant. In this way, the person who prevents inflammation keeps his hair alive and prevents danger.

In a person who pays attention to hair care after the operation, it is seen that the incision areas begin to heal. The crusting that occurs during this healing phase should never cause panic. You should be careful not to damage your scalp and hair follicles during crusting, which is a natural result of a hair transplant. So, how can you overcome the crusting process without damaging your hair follicles? Here is the answer!

When any part of our skin is cut or damaged, how it scabs during the healing process, is the same after hair transplant. These scabs, which occur for protection, occur as a result of coagulation of blood cells. Small scabs begin to form within 72 hours after hair transplant.

⦁ The crusting that begins after a hair transplant indicates that the healing process has begun.
⦁ Crusting prevents microbes that may cause infection in the area after the operation.
The patient should never scratch the area until the hair transplant scab-shedding process begins. In such a case, a new crusting phase begins. Therefore, the healing process is prolonged.
It is also possible to minimize the formation of scabs after a hair transplant. For this purpose, different methods are preferred, such as the sapphire FUE technique, where precise incisions are made by experts and damage is minimized.
You can have a healthy transplantation process by coming to the Hair Center Of Turkey, which has the latest technological equipment and serves with its expert team.

The crusts formed on average 3 days after hair transplantation are tightly attached to the scalp. You may want to scratch, scrape, remove, or pluck the scabs that may cause itching. However, it would be best for you to suppress these desires and not do it. Apart from prolonging the healing process, damage to the hair follicles may cause damage to the operation. You should stay away from these dangerous movements that may cause hair follicles to break and avoid applying force.
After the operation, you should listen to the advice given to you and wait for the crusts to fall off by themselves.

This process, which depends on the healing rate and various factors, varies between 8 and 15 days. In order for the hair transplantation crust shedding phase to come, the crusts must dry first. A certain period of time is required for the shells to dry. At first, the crusts are shed slowly and after a certain period of time, they are completely shed.

The healing process after transplantation takes an average of 1 year. The progress in this time interval is as follows:

15 – 30 Days
Spillage called shock spillage occurs. This stage, which occurs in all patients, lasts for 2 weeks. You should follow rules such as drinking plenty of fluids, avoiding smoking and alcohol for a certain period of time, healthy and regular nutrition. Apart from these, you should stay away from sun rays and feed your hair follicles by not doing work that can force your body and sweat.

1 – 2 Months
In the 1 – 2 month period when you notice the results of hair transplantation, your hair is expected to grow in a fine and curly tendency. In a 2-month period, hair growth is not expected in every patient. It may take 3 to 4 months for some people to grow hair. Thin hair grows thicker over time, indicating that the donor area is in the healing phase.

3 – 6 Months
The hair strands start to thicken. The donor area, which starts to heal, regains its former health in this time interval.

6 – 10 Months
There is a noticeable change. The density of the hair that reaches a certain level will be halved. After 6 to 10 months; people who want to comb their hair can use a brush, cut their hair or shave. While doing all these, care should be taken to protect the hair from heat and cold.

12 Months
Now a whole year has been completed after transplantation. You can leave the sensitivity of the first months in the 12th month when you will realize that you have reached the point you want when you stand in front of the mirror. The density of the hair transplanted instead of the missing hair follicles will reach up to 85% – 90%. During 1 year, you will not believe your eyes when you see the difference from the photos you have taken. After this time, you can use any product you want and shape it. Patients who want the second session should wait between 8 and 12 months for the above-mentioned conditions.

One of the complaints experienced after a hair transplant is edema. The things to know about this problem are as follows:

• Edema is a problem expected to occur in the head and face after a hair transplant.
• It is normal to see swelling and edema in all extremely modern methods such as DHI, sapphire FUE, and hybrid, which are used in hair transplants other than FUT.
• These edemas, which may seem bad to you when you first see them, occur as a natural reaction of the body. In fact, the appearance of swelling and edema is a more positive message for you. This message, which shows that your body is working in a correct and healthy way, prevents bacteria and germs that may come from outside.
• You will notice that problems such as edema and swelling gradually disappear four days after transplant. After an average of 1 week, edema and swelling will disappear spontaneously. The faster or slower progress of this process varies according to the circulatory and excretory system of the person.
• These fluids, which join the body’s circulation, are excreted from the body through urine.
  What Should Be Done to Reduce Edema?
• After the hair transplant operation, wearing a hat that will not squeeze the head prevents air from entering the transplanted area. In this way, you can prevent the formation of edema to a certain extent.
• By consuming plenty of fluids, you can eliminate edema in a healthy way.
• By consuming foods that will accelerate circulation, you can quickly remove the edema in the forehead and face area through urine.
• Your lying position is very important. You can reduce the edema by keeping your head high. This lying technique helps both to reduce edema and to prevent damage to the scalp.
• As we put ice on most swelling, you can reduce swelling by placing an ice pack on the forehead, face, and surrounding areas.
• In consultation with specialized surgeons, you can gradually perform manual lymph drainage massage. Perform this manual massage in consultation with your doctor and with a program.
• By contacting the Hair Center Of Turkey, you can get detailed information about the hair transplant process and ask any questions you wish to our expert consultants.

The most important method when deciding on a hair transplant operation is to work with a center where the person gets answers to the questions in his/her mind. In these priorities, which can be listed in many items from the appropriate method to the theoretical process, from anesthesia application to hair drawing, the person’s request should be prioritized and the operation follow-up process should be carried out day by day. There are important issues to be considered before and after the Turkey Hair Transplant.

The methods that are taken care of before and after the operation are directly related to the result, resulting in good or bad results. For this reason, after the operation decision, the list sent by Online Consultancy should be paid attention to, and the questions and situations that come to mind should be transferred to the other party.

Another important method of the Hair Center of Turkey is the sterilization of the clinic and the special materials used. Each material used during the procedure is personalized, disposable and should be stored and sterilized with special conditions and agents. In order to prevent infection and prevent possible complications, hygiene should be emphasized and personal health should always be prioritized during the operation.

The success achieved in clinics designed in accordance with the directive of the Ministry of Health and continued as a course of procedure satisfies the clinic as well as the person. For this reason, attention, sterility, answered questions and especially patient references from past periods are of great importance when making decisions. Hair Transplantation operations can be performed on individuals over the age of +18, if the donor area and general health condition are suitable, regardless of the method, by analyzing the rate of hair loss and the suitability of the technical method.

Turkey Hair Transplant, clinics experienced in the field of patient references, clinical institutionalism, center sterilization, operation methods, professional staff, style, and approach to the person should be preferred after Online Consultation provided with the developing technology today, the person should convey his / her own opinion and the appearance he/she wants to achieve, and the operation process should be designed according to the person. The person can perform the operation in comfort in clinics that approach their own ideas and questions with importance.
