Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Welcome to our FAQ section, where we address common queries about hair transplantation and our services at Top Hair Clinics Turkey.
1. What is a hair transplant?
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves moving hair follicles from one part of the body, typically the back or sides of the scalp (donor area), to areas experiencing hair loss (recipient area). This technique aims to restore hair growth in balding or thinning regions.
2. What are the different hair transplant techniques available?
At Top Hair Clinics Turkey, we offer several advanced hair transplant techniques:
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): This minimally invasive method involves extracting individual hair follicles and implanting them into the recipient area, resulting in natural-looking hair growth.
Direct Hair Implantation (DHI): Utilising a specialised Choi implanter pen, this technique allows for the direct placement of hair follicles into the scalp without the need for prior channel creation, enhancing precision and density.
Sapphire FUE: An advanced version of FUE that uses sapphire blades for creating incisions, promoting faster healing and reducing scarring.
3. Am I a suitable candidate for a hair transplant?
Ideal candidates for hair transplantation are individuals experiencing pattern baldness with sufficient donor hair. A consultation with our specialists will help determine your suitability based on hair loss extent, hair type, and overall health.
4. How long does the procedure take?
The duration of a hair transplant procedure varies depending on the number of grafts required but typically lasts between 6 to 8 hours.
5. Is the hair transplant procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort during the surgery. Post-operative discomfort is generally mild and can be managed with prescribed medications.
6. What is the recovery time after a hair transplant?
Most patients can return to their normal activities within a few days. However, it's advisable to avoid strenuous activities for at least two weeks to ensure optimal healing.
7. When will I see the results of my hair transplant?
Initial hair growth typically begins around 3 to 4 months post-procedure, with significant improvements visible between 6 to 12 months. Full results are usually achieved within 12 to 18 months.
8. Are the results of a hair transplant permanent?
Yes, the transplanted hair follicles are generally resistant to the hormones that cause hair loss, making the results long-lasting. However, it's important to note that the procedure does not prevent future hair loss in untreated areas.
9. Will there be visible scarring after the procedure?
Our advanced techniques, such as FUE and Sapphire FUE, are designed to minimise scarring. Any scars that do occur are typically tiny and concealed within the hair.
10. Can women undergo hair transplantation?
Yes, women experiencing hair thinning or loss can benefit from hair transplantation. Our specialists will assess individual cases to recommend the most suitable treatment approach.
11. How much does a hair transplant cost at Top Hair Clinics Turkey?
The cost varies depending on the chosen technique and the number of grafts required. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed quote tailored to your specific needs.

Turkey has become a global hub for hair transplantation due to its combination of highly skilled surgeons, state-of-the-art facilities, and cost-effective procedures. Patients benefit from high-quality care at a fraction of the cost compared to many Western countries.
