Taboo …

Even in the early 2000s, getting a hair transplant abroad was a huge taboo for many people around the world.

Today, this taboo is completely broken.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of people travel to many countries, especially Turkey, just to have a hair transplant.

While Istanbul is the city where the most hair transplantation is performed, Antalya and Ankara are listed as the next most popular cities for hair transplantation.

Turkey is differentiated from countries such as India and Thailand, which have a say in hair transplantation in the world market.

It is estimated that 75% of all hair transplants in the world are performed in Turkey.

It is enough to do a quick search on the internet to see how popular hair transplantation is in Turkey.

So, why has Turkey become the world's hair transplant base?

Why are there more hair transplant procedures performed in Turkey than in all other nations combined?

Is Turkey really successful at hair transplantation?

For example, Jordan, who had his hair transplanted at our clinic a few years ago, says that he had his hair transplanted in Turkey for almost one fourth of the price in England, that the service he received was at the top level, and that he was quite satisfied with the results.

And he adds,

"I directed at least 10 more people to the hair transplant center I went to for a hair transplant."

Our Treatment Methods

The hair transplantation technique that we prefer primarily is the DHI method.

However, when necessary, we can also transplant with the classical FUE technique.

Previously, the classical FUE technique was used all over the world.

Today, the DHI technique has become the most preferred method due to its faster recovery time and more natural appearance.

We have been getting very successful results for years with the DHI method, also known as the Choi Implanter Pen method.

Based on our long-term experience, we use Choi pens with the highest efficiency.

Since hair follicles are of different thicknesses, we use needles with different diameters from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm according to need.

Since our hair grows at an average angle of 40-45 degrees, we pay attention to this angle when transplanting.

Additionally, we apply PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy during the procedure to enhance the survival rate of the transplanted grafts while ensuring a natural appearance.

In this way, we not only increase the survival rate but also make the hair look natural.

Before transplanting the hair follicles, we examine them under a high-zoom microscope in cases where we suspect the grafts might be damaged, replacing low-quality ones with high-quality grafts as necessary.

Since the FUT method is an ancient and disadvantageous technique, we do not use this technique.

A Complete Step-by-Step Guide

1. Negotiation Phase

Usually, our first communication with patients starts via WhatsApp or e-mail.

We offer you a free online consultation after you get in touch with us.

After seeing your pictures, we provide information like how many grafts you need, how many days you need to stay here, and how much the price will be.

At this stage, we give detailed answers to all the questions that come to your mind.

2. Booking Phase

At this stage, we would like you to share with us which dates are available for you.

We check our availability on the dates you provide, and if we have space for the operation on those days, we ask you to buy your plane tickets.

After purchasing your flight ticket, we will send you a prepayment link to guarantee your hair transplant reservation.

We take an amount equal to 20% of the total amount as a prepayment and confirm your reservation.

You can make your own hotel reservation or stay in one of our partner-hotels.

DK Klinik provides all city transfers for free after your arrival at the airport.

3. Blood Analysis

Hair transplantation is a surgical operation.

Before each surgical operation, various blood tests are performed for both the health of the person and the safety of the surgical team.

We are therefore susceptible to HIV or hepatitis virus carriers, bleeding, and coagulation.

We look at whether there is a disorder, anemia, or a general infection in the person.

In addition, there are hormones, vitamins, and minerals that affect the health of the hair.

Thyroid hormone imbalances, some vitamin deficiencies, and deficiencies or excesses in minerals can also cause hair loss.

These imbalances can negatively affect the growth of hair and the formation of new cell structures.

If there is such a defect, it must be corrected. In the blood test we do, we check these values.

In this way, we have the chance to intervene for other reasons that will affect the success of the operation.

4. Hair Shaving

One of the most challenging issues for people who decide on hair transplantation is shaving the hair.

That's why some clinics claim to offer unshaven hair transplantation.

However, unshaven hair transplantation is quite risky. The possibility of hair sticking together increases the risk of infection.

Therefore, the hair must be completely shaved.

However, in transplants that do not exceed 1000–1500 grafts, shaving only the donor area is often sufficient.

Before the operation, we shave your hair with the help of a machine.

If the beard needs to be used as a donor, the beard area is also completely shaved.

5. Frontal Hairline Design

A natural hairline is one of the most important conditions for a successful hair transplant.

A bad front line design can ruin a normally perfect hair transplant on its own.

Therefore, in our clinic, we pay great attention to designing the front hairline in the most appropriate way for the patient.

The following conditions should be considered for a good hair transplant design:

  • At least 10 days before the hair transplant, the person to be transplanted should stop scraping their hair so the specialist who designs the transplant can see the natural hairline and design a better hairline

  • The age of the person should be considered when designing the hairline. As people age, the front lines of their hair go backwards.

For example, the front hairline of a person who has reached the age of 35–40 should differ from the front line of hair at 18. Otherwise, an unnatural, childish appearance may occur after hair transplantation.

The expectation of the person whose hair will be transplanted is important. Some people may want the front hairline to be slightly higher or lower.

If possible, the person's expectations should be considered.

A natural hairline should be neither too close nor too far from the eyebrow area.

Men's and women's hairlines are different. Gender differences should be considered while designing.

6. Local Anesthesia

After the front line design is made, the preparation phase for the operation begins. Before local anesthesia, we measure and record important values, ​​such as blood pressure, pulse rate, oxygen saturation, etc.

At this stage, before starting the operation, the person should be asked how he feels.

If the patient is very anxious, it may be necessary to wait for a while or a low-dose sedative may be given.

An anxious mood can affect blood pressure levels.

Therefore, the person's blood pressure should be measured and observed to see if it is under control before the operation.

If all is well, the person is placed in the hair transplant bed, and local anesthesia is applied to the scalp. Injections are administered.

Approximately 15-20 injections are applied to the scalp.

According to our observations, our patients only feel the pain of the first 4-5 injections.

After 4-5 injections, the head becomes numb, and the pain decreases gradually.

At this stage, the pain does not cause discomfort, and the effect of local anesthesia increases as the number of injections applied to the skin increases.

To make sure that the anesthetic is working, the specialist applies pressure to different areas of the scalp. If there is little pain, then 1-2 more injections are given.

Anesthesia in hair transplantation can be done in different ways.

Accepted practice in the world is the injection of an anesthetic substance into the head via injection.

7. Collecting the Grafts

After the application of local anesthesia, the stage of "collection of grafts," which is the basis of the hair transplant operation, is started.

Grafts are collected one by one from the donor area through a device called a micro-motor.

According to the thickness of the hair follicles and the number of hairs, punches with a diameter of 0.8 to 1.2 mm are applied to the hair.

The root is cut from the skin in a cylindrical shape and separated. These inserts rotate at 3000–3500 revolutions per minute.

Thus, thanks to the micro-motor device, the grafts are collected one by one.

There are various types of sharp-edged punches that allow you to cut the hair root from the skin and remove it.

Which of these punches will be used depends on the condition of the hair follicle and skin.

A hair transplant center must have a diverse punch portfolio.

Today, the operation time has been shortened thanks to the micro-motor.

Thus, patient comfort has increased.

Therefore, the collection of grafts with a micro-motor compared to the collection of grafts with the manual punch technique is more helpful.

8. Separation of Grafts

This stage is not mentioned in most places, but it is a very critical stage. Not all of the grafts collected are intact.

Some of the collected grafts are waste and cannot be transplanted.

Since these grafts are weak or broken, they cannot hold on to the scalp even if it is transplanted.

In a hair transplant planned as 3500 grafts, about 2% to 10% of the grafts are often broken.

Therefore, broken grafts should not be transplanted into the patient.

If these broken grafts are transplanted, the patient will have received fewer grafts than originally planned.

Therefore, the result is negatively affected.

We use a microscope, where it is not possible to distinguish if the grafts are broken

9. Transplantation of Quality Grafts:

The separated grafts are placed in a hair transplant pen and transplanted one by one.

This pen-shaped tool is specially designed for the DHI procedure, which is also called the Implanter Pen technique.

When undergoing transplantation, grafts should be transplanted at an angle appropriate to the growth direction of the person's hair, otherwise an unnatural appearance will occur.

We use a microscope, where it is not possible to distinguish if the grafts are broken.

10. Post- Operation

Our patient visits our clinic the day following the completion of the hair transplantation for the initial washing of his hair.

Our nurses wash the patient's hair. The initial wash should be performed by experts because it is crucial.

Our doctors explain to our patients what to look out for and how to wash their hair after washing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many grafts do I need?

The Norwood-Hamilton scale is used to estimate how many grafts will yield satisfactory results.

However, according to our experience and observations from thousands of hair transplants, the accepted graft numbers according to this scale rarely give satisfactory results.

Therefore, we plant approximately 25% more grafts than the recommended number of grafts according to this scale.

If there are not enough grafts in your donor area, we also use the beard area as a donor area and try to get the best possible result.

You can contact us to find out exactly how many grafts you need.

Will I need a second hair transplant?

There are several scenarios where a second planting is required.

The most common scenario we encounter is that there is not enough graft in the donor area of ​​the patient to cover the open areas in his head.

For example, 4500 grafts are required to close the patient's open areas, but only 2500 grafts can be collected from the patient's donor areas.

In such a case, it is necessary to wait about a year for the results to be seen after the first planting.

After 1 year has passed, it is the best decision to reevaluate the donor area and, if possible, make the second planting.

Those who want to have a hair transplant at an early age may need a second transplant in the future because hair loss usually continues in people under the age of 30.

Although the transplanted grafts do not shed, the remaining hair sheds, so second or even third transplants may be required to close the open areas in the hair at later ages.

When can I see the first and the end result?

Within 15 days after the hair transplant, you will see that the transplanted hair begins to grow.

This continues for a while and then the transplanted hair will fall out at 2-3 months after the procedure.

It will start to grow back in the third month after falling out, which will be your permanent hair. Usually one year after the surgery, patients begin to see the final results.

Will I be awake during hair transplant procedure?

At our clinic, all FUE procedures are performed while the patient is under local anesthesia, so if you like, you can listen to music, watch movies, or play with your phone during the operation.

What is the success rate of hair transplant at DK Klinik?

We can say that the risk of failure is rather low in a hair transplant performed under the supervision of specialist.

At a licensed hair transplant center, the success rate of the transplanted grafts ranges from 85% to 95%.

The two biggest indicators of a successful hair transplant are as follows.

  1. Are at least 90% of the transplanted grafts alive?
  2. Despite the limited donor area, did we achieve the best possible result?
  3. Do the results look natural?
  4. Are there any clearly visible scars in the scalp?

If we answer "yes" to the first three questions and "no" to the fourth question, we can say that the hair transplant was successful.

In our clinic, we do our transplants according to these success criteria and reach our goal.

Am I the right candidate for hair transplant?

A good candidate should meet the following criteria:

  1. The hair loss should be at stage 2 or above based on the Norwood-Hamilton Scale.
  2. The heavy hair loss period should be completed or near completion despite every conservation efforts (even if it varies from person to person, the best time for a hair transplant is after the age of 30, because it becomes easier to predict future hair loss after that age)
  3. The donor region should yield healthy grafts enough to cover recipient areas. Higher density of hair in the donor region means denser hair in the recipient areas.

In extreme cases like severe hair loss due to trauma, injury, burns, or surgical procedures, people can get a hair transplant without any regard to the criteria above.

  1. In people with matching hair color and scalp color, the results of hair transplant tend to be better.
  2. In people with thick hair, the same number of grafts usually can yield more satisfactory results as compared to people with thin hair strands
  3. In general, good scalp flexibility allows easier hair transplant, increasing the success rate of the restoration.

How long does the surgery take?

The operation usually takes 6 to 8 hours.

However, we usually complete the transplantation of over 3500 grafts, in which the beard area is also used as a donor area, in 2 days.

In a 2-day operations, each day takes an average of 6 hours.

Does the hair transplant room meet surgical operation standards?

The hair transplant room is kept at a precise 21°C (70°F) temperature to ensure the best comfort and graft survival. It is fully prepared to meet all the standards for surgical operations and is regularly inspected by the Ministry of Health.

Is hair transplant a permanent solution?

The short answer is that the transplanted hair will be permanent. The area where hair follicles are extracted is called the donor region. This area is also called the “reliable donor area”.

The hair follicles in the reliable donor area are very strong and healthy.

Generally, the hair in the donor region is genetically programmed to resist hair loss. You can see that someone who starting going bald at a young age still has hair in the donor site even after he is 70 years old.

The hair follicles used in hair transplant are extracted from the reliable region will keep the same genetic codes and characteristics as those in the donor region.

So as long as the hair in the donor region continues to grow, the transplanted hair will continue to grow too.

Following the hair transplant, once your hair begins to grow longer, you can wash, cut, comb or dye your hair, because this hair will be stronger and always keep growing .

  • You should avoid illegally operating hair centers. Find an expert clinic with a skilled doctor.
  • People with no predictable hair loss pattern should delay getting a hair transplant.
  • You should follow your doctor’s advice and use the medication regularly your doctor prescribes (if any) after the procedure.
  • No region of the body other than the back of head and mustache area should be used as the donor region (such as breast hair etc.)

What should I do before hair transplant?

  • Stop smoking 2 days before the procedure.
  • Stop alcohol consumption 3 days before the procedure.
  • Stop taking Aspirin and other blood thinners 5 days before the procedure.
  • Stop taking anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen) categorized as strong painkillers (you can consult us for a drug list) 3 days before the procedure. You can use painkillers that contain paracetamol.
  • Stop using minoxidil-containing solutions intended to prevent hair loss 3 days prior to the procedure.
  • Vitamins B and E should be discontinued one week in advance due to their potential to increase bleeding.
  • If your multivitamin supplements contain these vitamins, stop using them too. Stop taking supplements containing ginseng, ginkgo biloba and garlic extracts 1 week before the procedure..
  • Do not consume too much tea, coffee or coke on the day of your operation.
  • Do not consume herbal teas that you are not sure of their ingredients for at least one week before the procedure. Some herbs have a blood-thinning effect.
  • Avoid exposing your head to too much sunlight especially in summer for about 2 weeks in advance. It is very important that your scalp is not tan or sunburned.
  • Your hair will be trimmed at our clinic before surgery.
  • You should wash your hair in the morning before you come to our clinic.
  • If you regularly use any drugs for a medical condition (such as hypertension, thyroid, cholesterol, diabetes), you may continue using them. However, you should inform your doctor of any medication you are taking. All medications related FUE will be provided after hair transplant session.
  • You can have breakfast before the procedure; you do not need to have an empty stomach prior to surgery. We will also have a break so that you can eat lunch.
  • Because it is a long procedure, you are advised to wear loose, comfortable clothing and shoes. It is important to wear buttoned clothes or wide-fit t-shirt, as these are easier to take off after the procedure. In addition, it would be wise to bring extra clothing.
  • We do not recommend driving after the surgery due to the anesthetics and prolonged inactivity during the procedure. You should arrange transportation accordingly.
