YOUR ARRIVAL

Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a staff member and asked to fill out the necessary forms. After being led to one of our state-of-the-art transplant suites, a technician will take your vital signs. Depending on how you are feeling, you may be offered a mild sedative to help you relax.

Before your procedure begins, your doctor will review the details one final time to ensure goals and expectations are clear. They will discuss your hairline, the best use of donor hair, and address any other questions or concerns. The procedure will not start until you are completely comfortable with the plan.

ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS

We use the latest technologies with combined decades of experience:

  • Micro Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant
  • DHI Hair Transplant
  • Stem Cell Hair Transplant

At our clinic, we adopt the highest safety and hygiene rules set by the Turkish Ministry of Health. Our experienced doctors and technicians work around the clock to ensure the best results are obtained from each procedure. Most of our procedures take place at nearby hospitals where we have access to an emergency room if needed (others do not provide instant accessibility to emergency rooms in the US or Turkey).

From check-in at the clinic to discharge, it takes around 6-9 hours; in some cases, it may take 10 to 12 hours.

Hair transplant is the only solution and effective way. The success result depends on the donor area, hair follicles’ quality, the technique used, and also patients’ lifestyle and diet. In realistic calculations, we use the following formula to answer this question for most of our patients: Transplanted grafts × 1.7 (average hair follicles on each graft) × 96% (hair follicle survival rate). For instance, under normal conditions after FUE or DHI hair transplant, you can use the following method to anticipate the outcome of the surgery. We assume a 96% hair follicle survival rate under normal conditions, but if the patient can’t follow the instructions and post-care, this rate may decrease. Average procedure outcome after FUE or DHI hair transplant: 4,000 grafts × 1.7 (average hair follicles on each graft) × 96% (hair follicle survival rate) = Results in 6,528 hair follicles.

Hair transplantation surgeries have minimal risks compared to other surgeries. However, there are steps to follow before the surgery to decrease the risks and to decide if the benefits outweigh them.

After surgery, recovery is instant; some local patients even go to work the next day. Numbness on the scalp disappears slowly within 20-45 days.

We do provide financing for US and Canadian residents.
