Hair loss can be a distressing time. It can cause stress, anxiety and even depression. In extreme cases, it can lead to body dysmorphic disorder and a very real problem with self-confidence in both males and females.

Aside from researching the credentials and reviews of the surgeon and the clinic, when you’re thinking about having a hair transplant abroad, a major factor is cost. But it isn’t just as simple as looking up one cost as each clinic has their own pricing structure and they’re not easily comparable.

It’s perfectly normal to lose hair on a daily basis. The scalp works hard to manage the natural lifecycle of the hair, which naturally sheds hair at the end of its life. On a normal, healthy basis, we lose around 100 hairs a day.

If we start to notice we’re losing much more than this, then it could be the sign of something untoward going on. Nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances and stress are all major factors of hair loss.

But a thyroid problem could also be to blame for hair loss.

Here at the DK Hair Klinik, we get a lot of sunshine. We’re in Antalya in Turkey, and well, we’re blessed with the weather. The majority of our patients however, travel to see us for a hair transplant from Western European countries such as the UK. Where, let’s be honest, the sun doesn’t always make an appearance.

According to the dictionary, a hair transplant is as follows:
“A surgical procedure that involves moving skin on the scalp that still contains hair follicles to a bald or balding part of the scalp, so that hair will grow there”.

When you’re thinking about having a hair transplant, you want the best. You want to know you’re being treated by one the best surgeons , at the best clinics , and you want some kind of guarantee, before you pass over your hard earned cash, that you’re going to get results. After all, having a hair transplant is a big deal, we get that. It can be daunting, putting your scalp in the hands of a scalpel wielding surgeon.

Just like with anything in life, when we’re embarking on something that could change the way we feel about ourselves, we naturally want to look for some kind of guarantee. When it comes to a cosmetic procedure, like a hair transplant procedure, we’re especially keen to know and understand what the likelihood of success is going to be.

Before you decide to have a hair transplant, you’re probably full of questions. Understandably, you’re probably thinking about where to have your hair transplant done, which surgeon to choose, whether to travel abroad or not and worrying whether it will hurt. You might even be dreaming about what hairstyle you’ll opt for when you’re finished.

Aside from questions about your hair transplant, you’re probably wondering what you can do during your stay with us.

2002 Yılından Beri Yaptığım Binlerce Botoks Uygulaması Bana Ne Öğretti?

I still remember that day...

Date: September 20, 2002, Friday

I’ve opened my clinic, and for the first time, I have to apply a Botox injection to my patient.

At first, I went through special training, read the latest literature on this topic, and conducted trial procedures under the supervision of experienced colleagues. But here I am all on my own, and I am about to independently carry out a procedure without any mentors. Below there is a photo of that day. Time flies ...
