Frequently Asked Questions
Who can do a hair transplant?
Hair transplantation is the most effective, permanent and reliable method to respond to the scalp problems such as hair loss and soreness.
To be able to do this, the person should have enough hair in the side and back of the head.
How long does the hair transplant take?
The duration of the hair transplant depends on the number of hair follicles (grafts) to be seeded and the tissue of the person who is to receive a hair transplant. The procedure takes about 6-10 hours.
Is a hair transplant a painful procedure?
Hair transplantation is performed under local anaesthesia. It prevents pain during the procedure. Very thin needles are used for local anaesthesia. Depending on the pain level, the pain of the person performing the hair transplant changes. The pain that may occur after the operation is mild enough to be prevented with painkillers and this procedure is generally done in a comfortable way.
Will the open area be covered when I get the hair transplant?
In hair transplantation, hair follicles (grafts) are transferred from the back of the head to the hairless area. In this process, the hair removal of the hair area and the amount of hair in the neck area is very important. It is very important to provide a natural and high quality appearance after the process.
How many hair roots per implant?
The hairs in our body are normally single roots. The scalp is in groups of 1-2-3-4 roots. These groups are called grafts. For example, if 4000 grafts are received from one person, this means an average of 12,000-15,000 hair follicles.
Can a hair transplant be repeated?
After the operation, another hair transplant can be performed if the hair continues to fall out from the existing hair. However, the most important part of this process is that the hair follicles that are picked up in the donor area are sufficient. In order to repeat the hair transplant process, approximately 1 year must have passed after the operation.
Will my transplanted hair fall out later?
In a hair transplant, the hair from the donor area (side and back of the head) is transferred to the area without hair. Since the transferred hair is a genetically non destructive trait, the hairs will not fall out after the hair transplant procedure. However, the person’s existing hair may continue to fall out. A number of vitamins, serums and shampoos can be used to prevent them from falling out. PRP treatment can be used.
Will my hair look natural after the hair transplant?
After the hair transplant process, a natural look is achieved. To ensure this natural look, attention should be paid to the front hairline, the number of hair follicles (grafts) and the canals where the grafts are planted.
In hair transplantation, the front hairline is determined according to the individual and the head structure should be more natural when determining the hairline. The hair follicles taken individually are transferred to the area to be transplanted and the canals where the hair follicles are placed are opened. When opening these channels, the direction and angle of hair removal should be determined. A good hair transplant centre should be chosen for a good and natural result.
When can I return to my daily routine after a hair transplant?
You can return to your normal life the next day after the hair transplant. There is no problem in medicine. However, due to hair transplant procedures, it is very normal to have redness, crusting and slight swelling.
First of all, you need to protect yourself from hard work and sunlight. The transplanted hair needs a 10-day process to take hold. Therefore, you should protect your head from bumps and avoid heavy lifting.

Should I bring someone with me when I have a hair transplant?
Due to the fact that hair transplantation is a local operation, you do not need to bring any companions with you.
