What is Hair Transplantation?

Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure performed on people experiencing hair loss. In this procedure, hair transplantation is usually performed using the person's own hair follicles in areas where the hair is sparse or completely lost. Hair transplantation offers a permanent solution and natural-looking results are achieved.


Hair Transplantation Methods

Hair transplantation is generally done by two main methods: FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation).

  1. FUE Method : This method is performed by taking individual hair follicles from the donor area (usually the nape area) and transplanting them to the area to be transplanted. FUE is a less invasive method and leaves minimal scars.

  2. FUT Method : In the FUT method, a strip of skin is taken from the donor area, hair follicles are removed from this strip and transplanted to the area to be transplanted. FUT allows hair transplantation in larger areas, but the recovery process may be slightly longer.


Who is Hair Transplant Suitable for?

  • Genetic Hair Loss : People with a family history of hair loss.

  • Accident or Burn Scars : People who have experienced hair loss as a result of accidents or burns.

  • Hormonal Changes : People who experience hair loss as a result of hormonal changes.

  • People with Suitable Hair Density for Hair Transplantation : People with sufficient hair density in the donor area.


Process After Hair Transplantation

The recovery process after hair transplantation varies depending on the method used and the general health condition of the person. In the FUE method, the healing process is generally faster and minimal scars remain. In the FUT method, the healing process may be a little longer.

  1. First Weeks : In the first week, there may be redness and slight swelling in the transplanted area. During this process, it is important to follow the instructions given by the doctor.

  2. First Months : Transplanted hair may fall out in the first few months. This is a normal process and indicates the adaptation of the hair follicles to their new location.

  3. After 6-12 Months : The transplanted hair begins to grow again and full results are usually seen within 12 months.


Hair Transplant Prices

Hair transplantation prices vary depending on the method used, the size of the area to be transplanted and the experience of the team. Turkey is a popular destination for hair transplantation worldwide, offering quality services at affordable prices. Average hair transplantation prices are as follows:

  • FUE Method : 2,000 - 5,000 USD

  • FUT Method : 1,500 - 4,000 USD

These prices may vary depending on the clinic where the procedure will be performed, the surgeon's experience and the number of hair follicles to be transplanted.
