Questions And Answers

frequently asked questions

1. Does your hair fall out after a hair transplant?

Androgenetic alopecia is one of the common serious causes of baldness that is difficult to treat. The cause of it is considered to be a violation of the metabolism of androgens – male hormones, as a result of which dihydrotestosterone is formed, which adversely affects the function of the hair follicle. Dihydrotestosterone is formed more in the parietal and frontal parts of the head, respectively, and baldness usually begins in these areas.

Hair transplantation from the occipital area can help restore the amount of hair, since the hair from this area is more resistant to the action of dihydrotestosterone. Thus, the transplanted hair takes root and remains in place for many years, for this phenomenon there is a medical term “donor dominance”.

To stop further loss of your own hair, located in the frontal and parietal region, we give as a gift a course of mesotherapy, which is enough for 8 months of use. We also do hair plasmolifting.

2. How many days is required for the operation?

1) The day of surgery – all day
2) remove the bandage and show how to wash your hair

But it is advisable to wash your hair one day after the operation.
Therefore, we provide the Hotel for 4 days and 3 nights

1) arrival, accommodation, rest
2) the day of the operation
3) removal of the Bandage (bandage on the back of the head), a tour of Istanbul
4) we bring to the clinic we show how to wash your hair and do plasma lifting😉 we take you to the airport

For those who want to stay longer – not a problem. Extra night at the hotel 50 euros

3. Donor zone

We always use follicles from the back of the head (occipital region), which are not affected by the negative effects of hormones.

Is it possible to transplant from other parts of the body?

Yes, it is possible, but the hair on the beard and chest is thinner and the hair structure is different, the survival rate is lower, therefore we recommend hair transplantation from the back of the head, and at the same time we guarantee you 99% survival rate of the transplanted hair.

Will the absence of hair on the back of the head be noticeable?

No. The density of hair in the donor area is so high that it allows the use of up to 50% of its follicles without the threat of noticeable gaps. It should be noted that 50% corresponds to an average of 10,000 follicles or 30,000 hairs.

4. What not to do after hair transplant?

1 week: Cigarettes
2 weeks: Aspirin, hood, coffee, hookah
1 month: Hat, swimming pool, hammam, sex, alcohol, scissoring, sports
2 months: Hair coloring
6 months: Clipping

5. How much do you need a hair transplant graft?

In order for me to tell you the required number of grafts, send me photos of the problem area and the back of the head.

6. Spray and shampoo

The morning after the hair transplant procedure, I will give you the first shampooing tutorial and give you the hair products to use for the first 2 weeks, daily.

1. Spray is applied to the transplanted hair area and the donor area for 15-20 minutes.
2. Shampoo, rinse off immediately, used to gently wash hair, remove excess lotion and sebum.

7. What experience does the doctor have?

Both doctors have over 8 years of experience and have performed over 5,000 hair transplants.

8. Shock hair loss. What's this?

First of all, do not be alarmed. As a rule, after about 20-25 days after transplantation, the process of shock loss of transplanted hair begins, which lasts about 2 months. After the 3rd or 4th month, the transplanted hair starts to grow back. By the end of the 4th month, approximately 30%, and after 6 months – up to 50% of the transplanted hair grows. Within 12 months after transplantation, the remaining transplanted grafts grow, in the range of 90-99%, for most people.

9. What are the recommendations before the operation?

Aspirin, other blood thinners, or other herbal supplements that may increase bleeding should be avoided 1 week prior to surgery. Since smoking has a negative effect on wound healing, you should refrain from using tobacco products 10 days before the start of the operation or 10 days after it is completed. It is recommended to refrain from drinking alcohol 1 night before the operation.

Take a button-down shirt with you so that you can take it off yourself (meaning that it is not removed over the head)
