Am I good for a hair transplant?
Whether an individual is a good candidate for a hair transplant operation is decided by hair inspection.
(such as hair thickness, hair follicle consistency, hair length, elasticity, pores, skin texture) and evaluation
tests. In this regard, after evaluating all factors, including the state of health of patients, the frequency of
the donor site, and the spacing of the area to be planted, it is acknowledged whether an individual is
appropriate for hair transplantation or not.
Will you provide some official records after a hair transplant?
Sure, after surgery, we provide a document providing comprehensive details about the hair transplant
process.
How long will the hair transplantation process take?
Based on the number of grafts being grafted and the technique used, the surgery normally requires
about 5 to 8 hours.
Will the hair regrow at the donor site after the hair transplant is performed?
The primary source of the donor's hair used during hair transplantation is positioned at the back of the ear.
Because hair follicles around the back of the head and behind the ears are immune to hair
loss, they remain the predominant source of grafts used during a hair transplant.
Hair follicles collected from the donor zone do not grow again; that is why the most crucial element of
hair transplant surgery remains the optimal usage of the donor site.
Hair follicles are extracted from the donor zone in a homogeneous way such that the donor location is
not noticeable after treatment.
What is the best time to have a hair transplant?
A hair transplant may be done as long as the patient's physical and psychological capacity.
Patients wishing to have an esthetic look can get a hair transplant at any time if the donor zone is ample.
In persons with hair loss, it is predicted that the hairless areas will grow in advance and do not sacrifice
the aesthetic look of the hair. And at a certain point, if hair loss approaches a severe amount, it is
impossible to achieve an esthetic face following a hair transplant. In this regard, if necessary, 1 or 2
sessions may be used. We also prescribe PRP treatment to avoid any further hair loss.
What is Sapphire FUE?
Different sapphire points are being used in the Sapphire FUE process to open microchannels in the
recipient area. With these special pins, smaller and more sensitive microcaps can be opened. More compact hair transplantation is done through
this process, more compact hair transplantation is done, and once the hair scarring is significantly reduced in the Sapphire FUE method
smooth. In addition, scarring is significantly reduced in the Sapphire FUE method, and the recovery
process is shortened after a hair transplant. And people soon go back to their everyday lives. This,
therefore, allows a significant amount of grafts to be grafted easily.
What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a form of medicine that is added to a person's blood to prevent many
body disorders and rejuvenate the skin. In PRP therapy, blood acquired from a person is
segregated from the plasma and made rich in platelets by phases. The subsequent PRP vaccine is
administered into hair follicles using very fine-tuned needles. PRP therapy aims to revitalise thehair follicles that tend to fall, losing their strength and safe function. This is often extended to individuals
who have a hair deficiency but not an appropriate degree of hair transplantation. On the other side, it is
often employed as a post-operative tool used to improve wound healing.
Can I cut my hair before I undergo a hair transplant treatment?
During the hair transplant process, if you maintain the duration of your hair without getting it trimmed
or shaved, mainly during the consultation session, the specialist would be able to gain further details to
assess the hair loss situation more accurately.
Do I need to stop taking drugs that I use daily before treatment?
First of all, you should tell your healthcare provider about your hair transplant procedure, and once you
are approved, you should take any medications, you should also quit taking any drug that could
thin your blood, such as aspirin, for around three days before treatment.
Can women get a hair transplant?
Yes, women may even get a hair transplant, but the origin of hair loss has to be correctly identified. Girls
and women can also have hair transplantation due to androgenetic alopecia, recognised as male-type
hair loss, hair loss related to the reversal of the forehead line of the scalp, or a gap in the crest.
Is the hair transplants permanent?
During the hair transplantation process, the time needed for the regeneration, healing, and
development of new hair is prolonged to 12 months. Approximately 2 and 3 weeks after a
hair transplant surgery, most individuals reported a "shock hair loss" phenomenon, in which new hair
grafts join the resting phase, and the hair begins to shed.
Most people undergo a pervasive and natural cycle after a hair transplantation
treatment. There's nothing to worry about. After the shedding of the freshly transplanted grafting, the
fresh, healthier hair will quickly begin to develop in its place. In around 2 to 2.5 months, your
transplanted hair will enter its perfectly natural growth cycle and grow approximately 1.5 cm per month.
Will I lose my hair after a hair transplant?
The only shedding witnessed after a hair transplant is a condition called "shock loss." Shock loss,
takes place after about 2 to 4 weeks just after the hair transplantation process, and it is the result of a
short-term trauma to the grafted hair follicles and scalp after treatment. This is an inevitable process
seen after transplantation. This is a natural, temporary state. Also, if the grafted hair falls out during the shock loss process, the follicles will not be affected and provide the requisite room for new hair to
develop.

How Many Sessions Does Hair Stem Cell Treatment Take?
Hair stem cell therapy is a treatment completed in a single session. In the treatment process, an effective treatment process is carried out by transferring their own hair stem cells to the patients.
Why should I opt for Soft FUE?
In the narrowest sense of the words, the soft FUE technique refers to the use of a sedation hair
transplant. Because the patient stays awake without experiencing any pain, they do not experience
the grafting phase, the development of the recipient location, and the transplantation phase.

What are the side effects of a hair transplant?
Complications such as scalp infections are infrequent after a hair transplant treatment.
However, some side effects patients may encounter during the healing process are; inflammation,
soreness, and thin crusts developing in the areas of the scalp.
Which hair transplantation process would I prefer?
During your first consultation, the physician will evaluate which method of implantation is best for you
based on your hair loss classification, the length, and width of the thinning area, the amount and quality
of your available donor hair. For example, if the individual has extreme hair loss and the bald spots are
too large to cover, Even if the patient decides to perform a one-session hair transplantation treatment
using the DHI process will be a better choice for the FUE technique.
The explanation behind this is that the FUE method requires more significant volumes of grafting to be extracted in
a single session.
Will my hair transplant results look completely natural?
When a hair transplant treatment is conducted by an experienced physician and a qualified team, the
outcomes will inevitably look natural.
Having natural outcomes from hair transplant surgery relies on good planning.
Good preparation can be achieved by carefully positioning and designing the hairline, proportioning the face
.
However, the consistency of the patient's hair and the density of the donor are both critical factors
influencing the naturalness of the hair. Hair develops in various shapes and directions. To ensure
naturalness, hair transplantation should be done by taking into consideration the angle of development
and the orientation of established hair.
How much does it cost?
It is not easy to provide an exact figure for the expense of hair transplant surgery. To make a decision, it is necessary first to plan which method should be designed in the best way to make the analysis. Therefore, We recommend that you contact our centre by call or by e-mail to get advice from
our consultant and physicians.
When am I going to require the next hair transplant?

of an incompetent team and an unprofessional doctor. Therefore, you might need a new hair transplant.
There are three explanations for a second hair transplant; improper hair replacement techniques, hair
transplantation needs longer than normal grafts, and thus hair loss continues. If you have encountered such
a problem, contact our team and get a valid and professional treatment after proper planning.
When is it that the scabs fall off by?

region is not much resistant.

is the latest technique used in hair transplant operations. The recovery period is just about 1-2 weeks

The patches of the head which have lost less than 40% of the hair should not be given a touch-up during

beginning due to chances of damage to the native hair.
