Common questions
What is a hair transplant?
A hair transplant moves hair follicles from a donor area, usually the back and sides of the scalp, to areas with hair loss. It is a medical procedure.
The plan depends on the person. Type of hair loss, donor area capacity and hair structure are assessed together.
Can everyone have a hair transplant?
No. Suitability is not decided by age or by how the hair loss looks.
Donor area capacity, type of hair loss, general health and any medication need to be assessed by a health professional.
What is the difference between FUE and DHI?
Both methods remove follicles one by one. The difference is in how they are placed. DHI can use a special implanter pen.
Which one suits you depends on hair structure, donor area and planned density. Neither is better for everyone.
Is a hair transplant painful?
Local anaesthetic can be used. What you feel during and after the procedure varies from person to person.
Talk through your expectations with a health professional beforehand.
How many grafts will I need?
It varies. The size of the area, the donor area and the density you want all affect the plan.
A rough range can be estimated from your photos; the final number is set by the doctor after the examination.
Are there risks?
A hair transplant is a medical procedure, so risks and temporary effects can occur. Redness, swelling, scabbing and infection are among them.
Discuss possible risks with a health professional before you decide.
When does new hair appear?
Growth is gradual. Some transplanted hair may shed in the first weeks.
For most people, new growth starts within a few months and the process takes around a year. Speed and density differ from person to person.
Can results be guaranteed?
No. Biology and other factors affect the outcome, so a guaranteed result is not a fair promise.
Where should a hair transplant be done?
It is a medical procedure. It should take place at an authorised health facility, under the responsibility of authorised health professionals.
Before you decide, ask where it will be done and who is responsible.
Is Turkey Hairbank a clinic?
No. Turkey Hairbank plans and coordinates your visit.
The procedure takes place in a hospital setting in Istanbul, and medical responsibility lies with the hospital.
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?
Most visits need 2–3 nights.
The procedure day usually takes 8–10 hours, and the first wash is done the next day.
What's included?
Hotel stay with hotel meals, airport pick-up and drop-off, transfers between the hotel and the hospital, aftercare products and the medication the doctor considers necessary.
Flights aren't included.
