Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Transplantation
- What is hair transplantation and who is it suitable for?
Answer:
Hair transplantation is a permanent solution that involves transplanting hair follicles into areas with hair loss or thinning. It is typically suitable for individuals experiencing genetic hair loss, alopecia, or baldness due to accidents. At Esteway Clinic, we determine the most appropriate method for hair transplantation with a personalized analysis.
- Does hair transplantation hurt?
Answer:
Since local anesthesia is used during the procedure, patients do not feel any pain. After the procedure, there may be slight sensitivity or discomfort, but this is temporary and manageable. At Esteway Clinic, we aim to provide a comfortable experience.
- What is the recovery process like after hair transplantation?
Answer:
After hair transplantation, rest is recommended for the first 2-3 days. Redness and scabbing in the treated area usually subside within 7-10 days. New hair growth starts within 3-6 months, and full results are visible in 12-18 months. Esteway Clinic’s expert team provides full support during the recovery process.
- What factors determine the cost of hair transplantation?
Answer:
The cost of hair transplantation depends on the method used (FUE, DHI, Sapphire FUE, etc.), the number of grafts to be transplanted, and the individual needs of the patient. Esteway Clinic aims to provide the best results at affordable prices. You can create a hair transplant plan through a free consultation.
- How long does the hair transplantation procedure take?
Answer:
The hair transplantation procedure typically takes 6-8 hours. The duration depends on the number of grafts to be transplanted and the chosen method. Esteway Clinic plans all details in advance to ensure the best experience for patients.
- Will the results of hair transplantation look natural?
Answer:
Yes, when performed using the right techniques and an expert team, hair transplantation results in a natural appearance. At Esteway Clinic, we provide personalized planning to match your facial and hairline features for the most natural results.
- When will the transplanted hair start to grow?
Answer:
A shedding phase (shock loss) may occur in the first few weeks after the procedure. However, this shedding is temporary, and new hair growth starts after the third month. Visible results are seen by the 6th month, and full results are typically achieved within 12-18 months. Esteway Clinic closely monitors this process.
- Is there an age limit for hair transplantation?
Answer:
Hair transplantation can generally be performed starting from the age of 20. However, the type and severity of hair loss should be considered to determine the best time for the procedure. Esteway Clinic’s expert doctors provide personalized timing and planning.
- Can I dye or style my hair after the procedure?
Answer:
It is recommended to wait at least 4-6 weeks before dyeing or using chemical treatments on your hair. This time allows the newly transplanted follicles to settle. At Esteway Clinic, we provide detailed information on hair care and what to avoid post-procedure.
- What methods are used in hair transplantation?
Answer:
The most commonly used methods for hair transplantation today include FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), DHI (Direct Hair Implantation), and Sapphire FUE. Each method has its own advantages, and Esteway Clinic chooses the most suitable method based on your hair analysis.
- Can I exercise after hair transplantation?
Answer:
After hair transplantation, strenuous physical activities should be avoided for the first 7-10 days. Light exercise can generally be resumed after 10 days. However, activities that cause intense sweating should be avoided for a month. Esteway Clinic helps you plan your recovery process in detail.
- Are the results of hair transplantation permanent?
Answer:
Yes, the results of hair transplantation are permanent. The hair follicles used in the procedure are taken from genetically resistant areas, so no further hair loss occurs in those areas. Esteway Clinic uses the latest technologies to guarantee permanent and natural results.
- Can women undergo hair transplantation?
Answer:
Yes, hair transplantation is also an effective solution for women. Women typically experience thinning hair, and with a proper analysis, the transplantation procedure can be performed. Esteway Clinic provides personalized plans for women to achieve natural results.
- What should be considered before hair transplantation?
Answer:
If you are taking blood-thinning medications, they should be discontinued a week before the procedure. Alcohol and smoking should be limited, and hair should not be washed on the day of the procedure. Esteway Clinic provides detailed guidance before and after the procedure.
- What technologies are used during hair transplantation?
Answer:
Esteway Clinic uses the latest technologies in hair transplantation procedures. Micro motor devices are used in FUE and DHI techniques, and special sapphire-tipped blades are used in Sapphire FUE for maximum precision and natural results.
- Why is hair transplantation popular in Turkey?
Answer:
Turkey is one of the most popular countries for hair transplantation worldwide. The main reasons include high success rates, affordable prices, and experienced clinics. Esteway Clinic is one of Turkey’s leading hair transplant centers, serving both local and international patients.
