Hair Transplant In Turkey

Hair transplants offer a wide range of options regarding technique, number of grafts, and areas to be treated. The ideal age for a Turkey hair transplant varies and depends on individual circumstances, such as age, overall health, and the extent of hair loss. Addressing hair loss early increases the chances of success. The FUE hair transplant involves extracting hair follicles from one part of the head and implanting them in another. Patients can choose between the  Sapphire pen and DHI (Choi Pens) hair Transplant techniques. In the event that both techniques are suitable for them, but sometimes for some people, the doctor is the one who chooses the most appropriate technique for each person according to his condition. Both have distinct characteristics and advantages, with the choice depending on your hair condition and balding area. Both techniques are effective when applied to the appropriate hair condition.

Hair transplantation Affordability:

Hair transplant procedures in Turkey are much more affordable than in many Western countries. Despite the lower cost, the quality of service remains exceptional.

Turkey offers budget-friendly hair restoration solutions thanks to lower living costs, competitive pricing, and government support for medical tourism.

For example, in European countries or even in America or England, the doctor calculates the price of a hair transplant based on the number of follicles. For example, for each follicle, the doctor takes $2 or three dollars, or even sometimes up to five or 10 dollars per follicle.

While in Turkey, the matter is completely different, as the price of the operation is calculated based on the operation as a whole, meaning that the maximum number of follicles is transplanted at a unified price.

Of course, these prices vary from one clinic to another, depending on the doctor’s experience and on many other data. For example, you can find a clinic that performs hair transplantation at a price of 1,200 dollars, while you will find some clinics offering a price of 2,000 dollars, and some other clinics offer a price of 3,000 or 4,000 dollars.

Hair transplantation Expert Surgeons

Turkey is home to some of the most skilled and experienced hair transplant surgeons globally. Many have trained in advanced techniques and performed thousands of successful procedures.

Turkish surgeons undergo rigorous training and hold certifications from international medical boards, ensuring high standards of care.

But this does not negate the existence of many people who claim to be doctors and claim expertise, as you find many unlicensed clinics as well, so you must pay close attention before choosing the correct clinic for hair transplantation.

Hair transplantation Cutting-Edge Technology

Turkish clinics are equipped with the latest technology, ensuring that patients receive top-notch care.

From FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) to DHI (Direct Hair Implantation), the most advanced and effective hair transplant methods are available.

Clinics continuously update their equipment and adopt new techniques to provide the best results.

Robust Medical Tourism Infrastructure:

Turkey’s medical tourism industry is well-developed, with facilities and services tailored for international patients.

This includes comprehensive care packages, language support, and efficient processes to ensure a seamless experience.

Many clinics offer all-inclusive packages covering accommodation, transportation, and post-operative care, making the journey stress-free for patients.

ClinMedica is one of the most prestigious clinics in Turkey and the most experienced and oldest, and it always seeks to attract the best and most experienced doctors in Turkey, in order to provide you with the best results that you desire.

Comparing Sapphire Pen Technique and DHI Technique

Density:

A key difference between the Sapphire Pen and DHI techniques is the density of transplanted hair.

The Sapphire Pen technique allows for up to 40 follicles per square centimeter, while the DHI technique can achieve up to 50 or even 55 follicles per square centimeter.

This results in a fuller appearance with the DHI technique.

Transplantation Technique:

The Sapphire Pen technique involves opening the channels first, then transplanting the follicles one by one into these channels.

In contrast, the DHI technique opens the channels and transplants the follicles simultaneously using Choi pens, allowing more efficient use of space and resulting in higher density.

Shaving Requirements:

The DHI technique allows hair transplantation without shaving the bald area, although the donor area must be shaved to extract the follicles using the FUE technique.

This is particularly advantageous for people who prefer not to shave their heads.

The Sapphire Pen technique generally requires shaving the bald area if it’s in the middle or crown of the head, but not necessarily for the front.

Suitability for Different Hair Types:

The DHI technique is suitable for most people, especially those who prefer not to shave their heads.

However, it is not suitable for individuals with curly African hair(Afro Hair).

Curly follicles are difficult to insert into the Choi pens’ hollow needles without breaking them.

Therefore, for such individuals, the Sapphire Pen technique or other methods that involve opening channels first are recommended.

This also applies to the extraction of curly follicles, which requires extra care.

Determining the Lines of Laser Hair Transplantation

The doctor determines the hairline, considering several factors, including the consistency of the hairline with the details and muscles of the face and the patient’s age.

The hairline can be chosen in coordination with the doctor.

Addressing Hereditary Baldness Concerns

Common Question:

“I have hereditary baldness. If I undergo a hair transplant, will the genetic factor affect me again, meaning will the hair fall out?”

Answer: No.

Why?: Hair follicles are taken from the donor area, typically located at the back of the head, which is genetically resistant to baldness.

These follicles retain their resistance even after being transplanted.

Therefore, whether your hair loss is due to genetics, alopecia, or any other reason, the transplanted follicles will continue to grow and will not fall out.

Post Hair Transplant Operation Instructions

Day 1:

When you wake up on the first day after the first operation, you may notice some liquid with a little blood on your neck bandage and pillow. Don’t worry, this is normal and only occurs on the first day.

Things To Avoid After Hair Transplant Operation:

• Avoid swimming, running, and bodybuilding for one month after the operation.
• Refrain from sexual intercourse for 7 days after the operation.
• Avoid drinking alcohol for 7 days after the operation.
• Do not cut the hair from the recipient area until 6 months after the operation.

After 6 Months of Operation:

You can cut the hair with scissors only. After 9 months, you can shave your hair, and the donor area can be shaved a month after the operation.

Head Washing Method After The Hair Transplant Operation:

Day 3:

Post-operation hair wash procedure should be gentle without rubbing or strong movements.

• Apply the lotion for 30 minutes and then wash it with warm water (only the recipient area).
• As for the shampoo, pour the right amount, create foam between your hands, and spread foam through the donor area gently, and normally over the rest of the head, and then wash with warm water.
• Gently dry your head and the recipient area with tissue paper.

Why is the post-operation instructions very important?

The answer is simply that after the operation, the implanted area is very sensitive to any kind of contact which means that any wrong touching may cause damage to the implanted grafts.

As we mentioned before, hair transplant is very effective, but what is even more important is the post-operation instructions.

After the operation, you should be instructed on what to do and what not to do.

Hair Transplant Results and Patient Commitment

Achieving the best results from a hair transplant procedure not only relies on the expertise of the surgeon and the quality of the clinic but also significantly depends on the patient’s diligence and commitment to post-operative care instructions.

Think of hair transplantation like planting a tree. When a farmer plants a tree, it is small and fragile. This stage is akin to the successful transplantation of hair follicles.

However, for this tree to grow and bear fruit, the farmer must diligently care for it, providing the appropriate fertilizer, water, and protection from harmful elements.

Similarly, a patient must take on the role of this farmer. After a hair transplant, patients must adhere to all post-operative instructions given by their doctor.

This includes avoiding chemicals found in certain shampoos, hairsprays, and other hair products that could damage the new hair.

Patients must also ensure they are taking all prescribed vitamins and medications to promote healthy hair growth.

Commitment to these care routines is crucial for the hair to grow strong and healthy, ultimately yielding the best possible results from the hair transplant.

How Long Do Hair Transplant Results Last?

Many people’s hair transplant results, which are typically visible within a year, might persist for the rest of their lives. Without a doubt, you can anticipate benefits to persist for at least 15-20 years.

One of the reasons it is so crucial to be satisfied with the outcomes of a hair transplant is the possibility of permanence.

The outcomes of your hair transplant are designed to work for you for a longer time if you are taking medication to stop further hair loss.

There is a danger that your hair transplant results won’t fit you anymore if additional hair loss has occurred if you don’t take drugs to stop further hair loss.

A second or third hair transplant is an option in circumstances where the hair has receded behind the implanted hairs.

Grafts Extraction and Implantation in Detail

Important Aspects in Channel Opening During Hair Transplant

 

Channel Depth:

Before the procedure, you will have a free consultation with the doctor, who will be accompanied by a translator if required.

The doctor will conduct health checks and discuss the consultation questions with you.

Your hairline will then be drawn naturally and desirably. The depth of the incision for the channel must be carefully controlled within the skin layers.

If the incision is too deep, it can damage the nerves underneath, leading to significant scarring in the bald area, making it unsuitable for hair regrowth.

Conversely, if the incision is not deep enough, the hair follicle may not reach the necessary depth for proper nourishment by blood flow, leading to follicle death.

So, it is necessary to open the channel at the right depth to make sure that the hair follicle reaches the desired place where it receives nourishment from the blood.

Channel Direction:

The direction of opening the channels (slits) is also important in hair design, where the channels must be opened towards the original hair, in each place of the head must have a specific direction and angle that determines the path and direction of the hair when it grows, and thus the direction of the channel contributes by giving a natural appearance for hair.

In particular, the crown area is the most difficult place in the head in terms of knowing the direction of the hair, as it differs from one person to another, but ClinMedica has enough experience to know the direction of the follicles during the clinical examination before the operation.

Opening the channels in the wrong direction does not contribute to the failure of the growth of the follicle at all, but imagine with me that your hair grows in the opposite direction or that some hairs are in one direction and the other in another.

Then you will never be able to style your hair, and your hair will become curly due to the overlapping of hair in some areas.

Choosing the Location of the Hair Follicle:

As we mentioned previously in the technique of extracting hair follicles, ClinMedica had designed a clipped mask of equal squares to coordinate the extraction of hair follicles, as well as for easy sorting of single, double, triple, and quadruple hair follicle.

So here what concerns us is sorting the follicles, because we will transplant each bulb in its appropriate place.

The same command is also pronounced when choosing the location of the bulb that bears two hairs, and the sapphire pen with a pointed tip, with a width of 0.3 mm, must also be chosen.

Follicle thickness.

Incidentally, when the channels are opened, the channels are 0.1 mm wider each time the pointed tip is chosen to open the channel, for easy placement of the bulb in place.

Therefore, we always ask the patient to be careful about the transplantation area in the first 10 days after the hair transplant procedure at ClinMedica,

so that the bulb does not come out of the canal, so it takes a week to 10 days for the incisions to heal around the transplanted bulb, so this ensures that the follicles remain in place.

Hair Transplant Consistency in cm²:

Here, too, we want to refer to the pick-up mask that ClinMedica invented, as we also used the same technique to open the channels so that the baldness area is divided into equal squares, each square having 1 cm², to ensure the cultivation of the same number of follicles in each cm².

Number of Follicles per cm²:

ClinMedica determines the number of hair follicles, based on several factors:

Natural Hair Density:

Normal hair density varies from person to person. You see people with very high hair density, others with medium density, and others with low density.

So, we examine the hair follicles in an approximate cm² to determine the natural hair density, and then ClinMedica decides the number of follicles to implant in each cm².

Minimum and Maximum Number of Follicles per cm²:

Despite all the different cases of hair density in all people, we must consider the minimum and maximum number of follicles per cm².

That is, it is not necessary to plant fewer than 15 bulbs per cm², because the bulbs will disperse and lose their strength, which they derive from their proximity to each other.

Also, we should not plant more than 50 bulbs per cm², because the bulbs will lose their strength due to contact, just like the electrical contact when two electrical wires touch each other.

Here lies the secret in the success or failure of the hair transplant process, which many doctors in Turkey overlook to finish the work quickly, but ClinMedica, as we mentioned at the beginning, cares about the smallest details.

Channel Opening During DHI Hair Transplant

In the DHI technique, we open the channels and transplant the follicles at the same time.

Therefore, this technique gives greater density than the technique of opening channels by the sapphire pen, and here’s why:

Simply, when opening the channels with the sapphire pen, we calculate a 0.2 mm increase in thickness for each follicle. Meaning that for a follicle that holds one hair and whose thickness is 0.2 mm,

We must open its channel with a width of 0.2 mm for easy insertion of the bulb later.

As for the DHI technique, since we open the canal and transplant the follicle at the same time, we don’t need this 0.2 mm increase, and therefore we gain more space for transplanting more follicles.

As for the minimum, the DHI technique also applies; we should not plant fewer than 15 follicles per cm².

Suitability for DHI Technique:

The DHI technique is suitable for most people, especially those who prefer not to shave their heads.

However, it is important to note that individuals with curly African hair cannot undergo hair transplantation using the DHI technique.

This is because their hair follicles are crooked, making it difficult to insert them into the hollow needles of the Choi pens without breaking them.

Therefore, for such individuals, the channels must be opened first, and then the follicles must be transplanted one by one.

This method applies not only to hair transplantation but also to the extraction of follicles from the donor area, as extracting curly follicles is much more challenging and requires extra care to avoid breaking them.

WHAT IS THE NORWOOD HAIR TRANSPLANT SCALE?

The Norwood Hair Transplant Scale shows your hair loss level.

Norwood Scale classifies hair loss levels in degrees from 1 to 7, with 12 different loss types.

In addition to determining the level of your hair loss;

Moreover, it gives an approximate idea of the type of treatment that should relate to your hair loss.

If the hair loss is advanced, it may be troublesome to win your hair with pharmaceutical products.

In such cases, you must consider the ultimate solution for your hair loss problem by undergoiıng the right hair transplant surgery.

ClinMedica vs Other Hair Transplant Clinics in Turkey

When comparing ClinMedica to other hair transplant clinics in Turkey, the differences in quality, attention, and medical care become evident.

ClinMedica stands out due to its commitment to excellence in every aspect of the patient journey.

Unlike many other clinics that may prioritize volume over quality, ClinMedica focuses on providing individualized care tailored to each patient’s needs.

Exclusive Focus on Each Patient

At ClinMedica, each doctor performs only one operation per day to ensure they can devote all their energy and attention to that patient.

This practice contrasts sharply with other clinics where doctors may perform up to 10 operations a day, risking their focus and the quality of care.

Single-Use Medical Tools:

ClinMedica uses medical tools such as the sapphire pen and Choi pens only once per patient, ensuring the highest standards of hygiene and preventing any risk of cross-contamination.

In comparison, many other clinics reuse these tools for multiple patients, compromising on safety and quality.

The personalized attention and dedication to patient education and post-operative care further distinguish ClinMedica as the best choice for hair transplants in Turkey.

ClinMedica’s state-of-the-art facilities are designed to provide a comfortable and stress-free environment, ensuring patient safety and satisfaction.

How ClinMedica Performs Hair Transplantation in Turkey

ClinMedica meticulously designs the hair transplantation process to ensure top quality and success rates:

Initial Consultation and Blood Sample:

We begin with a comprehensive consultation and take a blood sample. This sample undergoes two stages of analysis.

The first stage is a rapid analysis, with results available within 15 minutes, to check for any infectious diseases in the blood that could hinder the procedure.

The second stage, which takes about two and a half hours, determines the cause of hair loss, such as vitamin deficiencies.

This helps the doctor prescribe the appropriate medication and vitamins post-transplant.

Drawing Implantation and Extraction Lines:

Following the tests, the doctor draws the implantation lines and the lines for extracting the follicles from the donor area.

This precise planning is crucial for achieving natural and aesthetically pleasing results.

Administering Local Anesthesia:

Our specialists administer local anesthesia using a needle-free, pain-free technique.

Following this, they inject a serum into the scalp of the donor area to lift the skin away from the veins and arteries, facilitating the safe and efficient extraction of follicles using the micro-motor device with FUE technology.

Follicle Extraction and Sorting:

We carefully sort the extracted follicles. We separate follicles with one hair from those with two, three, or four hairs.

This sorting is essential because we implant different types of follicles in specific areas to ensure a natural look.

For example, we place single-hair follicles in the frontal area to mimic the natural hairline.

Opening Channels and Implantation:

After sorting, the doctor opens the channels in the recipient area. Once the channels are prepared, specialists place the sorted follicles into these channels.

Why Hair Transplantation in Two Sessions?

Why Two Sessions?

This is a common question from people who need two sessions to complete their hair transplantation. Here’s the reason:

Hair transplantation is quite simple:

we take follicles from the donor area, typically behind the ears, without causing any harm to this area in the future.

However, the donor area differs from one person to another in terms of size and density, and this impacts whether a single session or multiple sessions are needed.

Insufficient Follicles:

If the donor area is weak and small while the bald area is large (from the front to the crown), hair transplantation must be done in two sessions.

The first session covers the front to the middle of the head, and the second session covers the middle to the crown.

The main reason is the insufficient number of follicles to cover the entire bald area in one go.

Logically, a small donor area cannot cover a large bald area, so we must perform the transplantation in two sessions.

Healing Time:

In the first session, follicles are extracted in a thoughtful and coordinated manner to prevent damage to the donor area.

These follicles do not grow back, so the area needs time to heal and for the follicles to be close to each other again.

Most people need nine to 12 months for this area to heal before a second session can cover the remaining bald areas.

Compatibility:

If the bald area is compatible with the donor area, or if the bald area is small compared to the donor area, a single session may be sufficient.

Density Requirements:

Some people may ask if it’s possible to perform one session with lower density to cover the entire head.

This is not advisable because hair follicles need a minimum number of neighboring follicles to support each other and grow properly.

For instance, there must be at least 20 follicles per square centimeter for them to grow effectively. If fewer follicles are transplanted, they won’t support each other and won’t grow.

On the other hand, planting more than 55 follicles per square centimeter can cause overcrowding, leading to contact and subsequent damage to the follicles.
