FAQ’s

What is a hair transplant?

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves moving hair follicles from one part of your body (usually the back or sides of your scalp) to areas with thinning or balding hair to promote natural hair growth.

Is a hair transplant a permanent solution to hair loss?

Yes, a hair transplant provides a long-lasting and often permanent solution because it uses your own healthy hair follicles, which are genetically resistant to hair loss.

Are there different types of hair transplant techniques?

Yes, the two primary techniques are Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). FUE involves individual hair follicle extraction, while FUT involves removing a strip of tissue with hair follicles.

Is a hair transplant painful?

Hair transplant procedures are performed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the surgery. Some discomfort and mild pain may occur during the recovery period.

How long does a typical hair transplant procedure take?

The duration depends on the extent of the procedure, but most hair transplants take between 4 to 8 hours to complete.

When will I see results after a hair transplant?

 You can expect to see initial results within a few months, with full and noticeable hair growth usually achieved within 8 to 12 months after the procedure.

Are there any risks or side effects associated with hair transplants?

Common side effects include swelling, redness, and temporary numbness at the treatment site. Serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by a skilled surgeon.

Can anyone get a hair transplant?

Most people with adequate donor hair can undergo a hair transplant. However, it’s essential to consult with a qualified surgeon to determine if you are a suitable candidate.

Will my transplanted hair look natural?

Yes, the transplanted hair is chosen from your own donor area, making it genetically identical to your existing hair, ensuring a natural appearance.

How much does a hair transplant cost?

The cost varies depending on factors like the extent of hair loss, the technique used, and the location of the procedure. In countries like Turkey, medical tourism has made hair transplants more affordable, with prices often lower than in Western countries.

Will the transplanted hair fall out over time?

It’s common for transplanted hair to shed within a few weeks after the procedure. This is normal and temporary, and new hair will grow in its place.

Can I have a hair transplant if I have curly or wavy hair?
