Question 1

Is hair transplant surgery painful?

Accepted Answer

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and no pain is felt during the operation. Mild discomfort may be felt after the operation, but it is easily controlled with prescribed painkillers.

Question 2

Will transplanted hair fall out?

Accepted Answer

Transplanted hair is permanent. Since the transplanted follicles are taken from the nape area which is genetically resistant to shedding, they maintain this feature in their new location. Temporary shedding called 'shock loss' may occur in the first 2-4 weeks, but this is normal and new hair will grow as the roots remain active.

Question 3

How many grafts are needed?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the person's degree of hair loss, donor area capacity, and expectations. An average procedure transplants 3000-5000 grafts. The most suitable graft count for you is determined with free evaluation.

Question 4

When can I see results?

Accepted Answer

First hair growth starts after 3-4 months. Noticeable density is seen between 6-8 months. Final results appear between 12-18 months.

Question 5

What is the difference between FUE and DHI?

Accepted Answer

In FUE, channels are opened after grafts are extracted and then implantation is done. In DHI, grafts are directly placed without opening channels using special pens (CHOI). DHI offers unshaven procedure option and can provide denser transplant in some cases.

Question 6

How long does the procedure take?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the graft count, the operation may take 6-8 hours. Patients can rest in a comfortable environment, watch movies or listen to music.

Question 7

When can I return to normal life?

Accepted Answer

Most patients return to normal activities within 2-3 days. Avoiding heavy exercise and direct sunlight for 2-4 weeks is recommended.

Question 8

Do hair transplant results look natural?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Transplantation done with correct angle and direction by an expert team gives completely natural-looking results. Hairline design is individualized according to your facial features.
