What is a Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant is a surgical solution to restore hair by transplanting follicles from a donor area to regions with thinning or baldness. It provides a natural, fuller head of hair, improving both appearance and confidence.
There are three main techniques:
✔ FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) involves individually extracting follicles from the donor area and implanting them in the recipient area, leaving minimal scarring and offering quicker recovery.
✔ FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), or strip surgery, removes a strip of scalp to harvest follicles, yielding more grafts in one session but may leave a linear scar.
✔ DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) uses a specialized pen to directly implant extracted follicles without creating incisions, allowing for more precise placement and natural-looking results.
Each technique offers a permanent solution to hair loss, with long-lasting, natural results that improve hair density and boost confidence.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Hair Transplant?
A good candidate for a hair transplant is someone with a healthy donor area, stable hair loss, and realistic expectations about the procedure's results. They should be in good overall health, have sufficient hair loss to benefit from the transplant, and ideally be non-smokers or willing to quit. Additionally, a healthy scalp free from active conditions is essential for successful outcomes. Consulting with an experienced specialist will help confirm candidacy and set realistic expectations.
Personalized Solutions for Every Need
Each hair transplant procedure is uniquely tailored to address individual hair loss concerns and provide optimal results. Below are common issues and how we customize the hair transplant to meet your specific needs.
Receding Hairline
If your primary concern is a receding hairline, we can focus on reshaping and restoring the front hairline to create a natural, fuller look. Techniques like Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) are used to carefully place individual hair follicles for the most natural outcome.
Planning for Future Hair Loss
If you're in the early stages of hair loss, your surgeon will create a long-term plan to accommodate future hair thinning. We focus on preserving donor hair for potential future procedures while delivering immediate, impactful results.
Concerns About Recovery Time
Our modern transplant techniques ensure a quick and smooth recovery. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, with full results becoming visible over the following months.
Crown Thinning
For patients experiencing hair thinning at the crown, a specialized approach ensures the crown is densely filled with transplanted hair follicles. This gives a thicker, more uniform appearance, making sure the transplanted hair blends seamlessly with the rest of your hair.
Restoring Hair After Significant Loss
For those with more advanced hair loss, a comprehensive transplant covering larger areas of thinning or balding can be done. By carefully distributing grafts across the scalp, we ensure you achieve a balanced and natural-looking outcome.
Hair Density Goals
Whether your goal is to increase overall hair density or focus on specific areas, we personalize the procedure to deliver natural, dense coverage based on your desired results.
Worried About Scarring
Hair transplant techniques such as FUE leave minimal to no visible scarring, making them an excellent choice if you're concerned about scars. These procedures are done with precision to ensure the donor area heals with no noticeable marks.
Beard and Eyebrow Restoration
In addition to scalp hair transplants, we offer specialized procedures for beard and eyebrow restoration. These areas are meticulously designed to achieve a natural look and complement your facial features.
Age-Related Hair Loss
For patients experiencing age-related hair thinning, we create a customized transplant plan that complements your current hair texture and growth pattern to achieve a youthful, natural appearance.

What are the Expected Outcomes of Hair Transplant?
The expected outcomes of a hair transplant include both aesthetic and confidence-boosting benefits. The procedure is designed to restore hair in thinning or bald areas, delivering natural and lasting results.
✔ A fuller, natural-looking hairline that blends seamlessly with existing hair
✔ Increased hair density in previously thinning or bald areas
✔ Permanent hair growth, as the transplanted follicles are resistant to future hair loss
✔ Enhanced facial framing, giving a more youthful appearance
✔ Improved confidence and self-esteem as a result of the hair restoration
✔ Minimal visible scarring, particularly with modern techniques like FUE
✔ Long-lasting results that continue to improve over several months as the transplanted hair grows
How Is a Hair Transplant Done?
At Prime Health Turkey, we are committed to providing you with the best hair restoration experience using advanced techniques like FUE and DHI to ensure natural, long-lasting results. We support you throughout the entire process, from consultation to recovery.
Anesthesia
The procedure starts with local anesthesia to numb the scalp, ensuring a comfortable and pain-free experience. For added comfort, sedation can also be provided if needed.
Harvesting and Graft Placement: FUE and DHI Techniques
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
In the FUE method, hair follicles are extracted individually from the donor area (typically the back or sides of the scalp) using a specialized tool. These follicles are then implanted into the thinning or balding areas following your natural hair growth pattern. FUE leaves minimal scarring and offers quick recovery times.
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation)
DHI is a more advanced technique where the hair follicles are extracted and immediately implanted without the need for creating recipient site incisions. Using a special Choi implanter pen, the surgeon implants the hair directly into the scalp, allowing for precise control over the angle, depth, and direction of each follicle. DHI ensures even more natural results and minimizes handling of the grafts, reducing the risk of damage.
Closure and Recovery
Neither FUE nor DHI require sutures, as the small incisions heal on their own. You will be given detailed post-op care instructions, including how to care for your scalp and when you can resume daily activities. Recovery is quick, and within a few months, you will begin to notice new hair growth, with full results visible after 9-12 months.
What to Expect During Hair Transplant Recovery?
First Few Days
In the first few days after your hair transplant, you may experience mild discomfort, tenderness, and some swelling on your scalp. It’s normal for small scabs to form around the transplanted follicles, and you might notice some redness in the treated areas. These symptoms typically subside within a week or two. Your doctor will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions to help manage any discomfort and ensure proper healing.
Shedding and New Growth (Weeks 2-4)
Within 2 to 3 weeks after the procedure, the transplanted hair will likely shed, which is a natural part of the hair’s growth cycle known as "shock loss." This is a temporary phase, and while it might seem concerning, it's a normal step toward new growth. Typically, new hair starts to grow around 3 to 4 months after the transplant, beginning as fine hair that gradually thickens over the following months.
Long-Term Results (6-12 Months
As you approach the 6 to 9-month mark, you’ll notice significant improvements in hair growth and density. The transplanted hair will continue to mature and thicken, providing a fuller, natural-looking result. Full results usually become apparent between 12 to 18 months after the procedure. Any minimal scarring from the transplant will fade over time, and your scalp will regain its normal appearance as the healing process completes.
What to Do Before Hair Transplant?
During your consultation, your hair transplant specialist will ask you questions about your medical history. It is crucial that you provide your doctor with every detail, including any medical conditions, previous surgeries, and the medications or supplements you currently use. This information helps minimize the risks associated with the procedure. Your doctor will also conduct a thorough examination to ensure you are a suitable candidate for the transplant. Additionally, you will receive comprehensive guidance and support before your surgery, along with a complete and detailed list of instructions.
Most important instructions include:
✔ Stop smoking at least 2 weeks before the procedure.
✔ Avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen and aspirin) for 2 weeks before the procedure.
✔ Avoid herbal remedies and supplements unless approved by your doctor.
✔ Take only the medications approved by your surgeon.
What to Do After a Hair Transplant
✔ Keep your head elevated while sleeping to reduce swelling.
✔ Avoid touching or scratching the transplanted area to protect grafts.
✔ Take all prescribed medications, including pain relief and antibiotics.
✔ Wait at least 48 hours before washing your hair and follow your surgeon’s instructions.
✔ Avoid strenuous activities and exercise for at least a week.
✔ Protect your scalp from direct sunlight for several weeks.
✔ Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to promote healing.
✔ Avoid alcohol and smoking, as they can hinder recovery.
✔ Attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress.
✔ Be patient—full results will appear over 9-12 months.

How long do gastric band surgery results last?Gastric band surgery results can last long-term if patients commit to necessary lifestyle changes. Typically, patients lose 40-60% of excess body weight within the first two years.

While complications such as band slippage or erosion can occur, proper maintenance and monitoring can help ensure lasting weight loss and health benefits.

During the procedure, patients are under general anesthesia and feel no pain.

Long-term discomfort is rare but can occur if band adjustments are needed.
