Before a hair transplant procedure, patients should stop smoking, avoid alcohol, and discontinue blood-thinning medications if advised by the doctor. A proper scalp examination and medical consultation are essential to plan the treatment safely.
Shaving is not always required before a hair transplant procedure. Techniques like DHI can be performed with partial shaving or even no shave, depending on hair condition and the planned graft count.
Some medications can be taken before a hair transplant procedure, but blood thinners, aspirin, and certain supplements should usually be stopped a few days prior. Always follow your surgeon’s instructions.
Yes. Smoking should be stopped at least one week before the hair transplant procedure. Smoking reduces blood flow to the scalp and can negatively affect graft survival.
Yes. Patients are advised to have a light breakfast on the day of the hair transplant procedure. Fasting is not required unless specifically instructed by the clinic.
Blood tests are usually required before a hair transplant procedure to ensure the patient is healthy and suitable for surgery. These tests help minimize risks and ensure a smooth process.
A consultation should be done at least a few days before the hair transplant procedure. This allows the doctor to assess hair loss, donor area quality, and create a personalized treatment plan.
A hair transplant procedure usually takes between 4 to 8 hours. The duration depends on the number of grafts and the technique used, such as FUE or DHI.
No, the hair transplant procedure is not painful. Local anesthesia is applied to keep the scalp numb, so patients may only feel slight pressure or movement during the session.
Yes. Patients stay awake during the hair transplant procedure. You can relax, listen to music, or take short breaks while the medical team works.
Light movement and talking are allowed during the hair transplant procedure. However, sudden movements should be avoided to ensure precise graft placement.
During graft implantation, hair follicles are carefully placed into the recipient area following natural hair direction and angle. This step is crucial for achieving natural-looking results.
Yes. Breaks are given during the hair transplant procedure for rest, meals, or restroom use, ensuring patient comfort throughout the session.
In most cases, one session is enough. However, patients with advanced hair loss may require multiple sessions to achieve optimal density.
After a hair transplant procedure, patients should follow the clinic’s aftercare instructions carefully. This includes using prescribed medications, avoiding touching the grafts, and keeping the scalp clean.
Recovery after a hair transplant is usually quick. Most patients return to daily activities within a few days, while full healing of the scalp takes around 7 to 10 days.
Hair washing typically starts 2 to 3 days after the hair transplant procedure. The first washes should be gentle and done using special shampoos recommended by the clinic.
Yes, mild swelling on the forehead or around the eyes is normal after a hair transplant. It usually disappears within a few days.

Yes. Compared to the US and EU, a hair transplant in Turkey is generally more affordable. This is mainly due to lower operational costs and high procedure volumes, not lower medical standards.

Yes, transplanted hair grows naturally and continues for a lifetime, provided you maintain scalp health and a balanced diet.
Yes, many clinics still offer FUE, but most leading clinics, including Esthetic Hair Turkey, have transitioned to DHI for better precision and patient comfort.
While FUE leaves tiny dot-like scars where grafts were removed, they’re usually hard to notice once hair grows back. However, DHI’s method reduces this even further.
Both techniques can provide permanent results. However, because DHI causes less trauma to grafts, it can result in slightly higher survival and long-term density.
Yes, DHI typically costs a bit more due to the advanced tools and technique used, but patients often find it worth it for the natural and dense results.
Not at all. The operation is performed under local anesthesia, so you feel no pain, only mild pressure or touch during the process.
Most patients return to normal activities within a few days. Redness or swelling disappears in about a week, and new hair growth starts after a few months.
The number of grafts depends on your hair loss level and desired density. Our specialists analyze your scalp during the consultation to provide an accurate plan.

Yes, slightly. Since grafts are extracted and implanted without shaving, it requires more time and precision from the medical team.
Yes, when performed with DHI, results are just as permanent and natural. The difference lies in how discreet and comfortable the process is.
Not everyone. It is best for patients with mild to moderate thinning. Your doctor will evaluate whether it suits your hair type and coverage needs.
A no shave hair transplant is most commonly performed using the DHI method because it allows direct implantation without opening channels. This makes it easier to work between existing hairs and keep the procedure discreet.
The Choi implanter pen is a medical device used in DHI procedures to implant hair follicles directly into the scalp. It gives full control over depth, angle, and direction, which is critical for natural results in unshaven procedures.
In most cases, the recipient area is left fully unshaved. A small part of the donor area may be trimmed, but it is easily hidden by surrounding hair.
The procedure usually takes longer than a shaved transplant because of the precision required. Depending on the number of grafts, it can last several hours.
Most patients return to work within a few days. Because the surrounding hair covers the treated areas, the procedure remains discreet during recovery.
Yes. The transplanted hair is taken from genetically resistant areas and will grow naturally for life when properly cared for.
Yes. This technique is especially popular among women because it avoids shaving and preserves the existing hairstyle.
Yes. Direct implantation with the Choi pen reduces handling time and trauma, which helps improve graft survival rates.

It can be slightly more expensive due to the time, precision, and expertise required. Many patients find the added discretion and comfort worth the cost.

In many cases, yes. Smaller incisions usually mean faster healing and less visible redness.
Yes. Transplanted hair follicles are taken from donor areas resistant to hair loss, so results are long-lasting.
PRP for hair is a non-surgical treatment that uses your own blood plasma, rich in growth factors, to stimulate hair follicles and support stronger, healthier hair growth.
PRP treatment is suitable for men and women experiencing early hair thinning, shedding, or weakened hair growth. It also works well as a support treatment after a hair transplant.
A small amount of blood is taken and processed to separate platelet-rich plasma. This plasma is then injected into the scalp to activate follicles and improve blood circulation.

Most patients need 3 to 4 sessions spaced a few weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions depending on hair condition and goals.
