Question 1

What is a hair transplant?

Accepted Answer

It relocates follicles from DHT-resistant donor areas to thinning zones using methods like FUE or DHI for natural coverage.

Question 2

FUE vs DHI vs Sapphire FUE — what’s the difference?

Accepted Answer

FUE extracts and implants into channels; DHI places follicles directly with implanters; Sapphire FUE uses finer sapphire blades for channel creation.

Question 3

Who is a good candidate for a hair transplant?

Accepted Answer

Stable hair loss, adequate donor supply, and realistic goals. A specialist confirms suitability after assessment.

Question 4

How much does a hair transplant cost in Turkey?

Accepted Answer

Commonly $1,500–$4,000 depending on grafts, technique, clinic reputation, and what’s included.

Question 5

What factors influence the price?

Accepted Answer

Technique (FUE/DHI), graft count, surgeon experience, aftercare, and whether packages include hotel and transfers.

Question 6

Which medications should I stop before surgery?

Accepted Answer

Avoid blood thinners, certain anti-inflammatories, vitamin E, omega-3s, and herbal supplements 7–10 days prior—only with doctor approval.

Question 7

Should I stop smoking or vaping before surgery?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nicotine reduces blood flow and healing; ideally stop 1–2 weeks before and after.

Question 8

How long is recovery after a hair transplant?

Accepted Answer

Many return to work in 2–5 days; scabs/redness improve in 7–10 days; full maturation takes 12–18 months.

Question 9

When can I wash my hair after surgery?

Accepted Answer

Gentle washing typically starts day 2–3 with special shampoo; normal washing after 10–14 days.

Question 10

Which activities should I avoid post-op?

Accepted Answer

Avoid heavy workouts, swimming, sauna, and strong sun for about 2–4 weeks; protect the scalp from friction.

Question 11

Are hair transplants safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes when performed by experienced surgeons in accredited clinics. Complications are uncommon and usually minor.

Question 12

Will I have scars after a hair transplant?

Accepted Answer

FUE/DHI leave tiny dot scars typically hard to see after regrowth; FUT may leave a linear scar.

Question 13

What is shock loss and is it permanent?

Accepted Answer

It’s temporary shedding of transplanted or nearby hairs after surgery; most regrow in a few months.

Question 14

When will I see full results?

Accepted Answer

Early sprouts at 3–4 months; fuller look by 9–12 months; maturation through 12–18 months.

Question 15

Will I need a second session?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes—for added density, crown work, or future recession; timing is usually 9–12+ months later.

Question 16

Is DHI always better than FUE?

Accepted Answer

Not always. DHI can aid precision and angles; excellent FUE can achieve similar outcomes with the right team.

Question 17

Do robotic systems improve results?

Accepted Answer

Robotics can standardize extraction, but surgeon planning and artistry remain decisive.

Question 18

Am I too young for surgery?

Accepted Answer

Under ~25 requires caution since patterns may not be stable; medical therapy is often tried first.

Question 19

Can women have hair transplants?

Accepted Answer

Yes—especially for female pattern loss, traction alopecia, or select scarring conditions after evaluation.

Question 20

Which conditions may delay or contraindicate surgery?

Accepted Answer

Uncontrolled diabetes, clotting disorders, severe high/low blood pressure, active scalp disease, or recent isotretinoin use.

Question 21

How many days should I plan for a Turkey trip?

Accepted Answer

Typically 3–4 days: arrival/consultation, surgery day, first wash/follow-up, then return.

Question 22

Do finasteride and minoxidil work?

Accepted Answer

Finasteride lowers DHT and slows loss; minoxidil supports growth. They often work best together with consistent use.

Question 23

Can hair loss return after a transplant?

Accepted Answer

Transplanted hair is generally long-lasting, but genetics can influence it and native hair often continues to thin—maintenance therapy helps.
