Hair Transplantation in Turkey
Medical assessment, personalized treatment planning and coordinated care for international patients considering hair transplantation in Turkey.
Hair Transplantation
Hair transplantation is a medical procedure designed to redistribute suitable hair follicles from a donor area to areas affected by hair loss.
Istanbul Medical Service assists international patients in accessing appropriate medical professionals and healthcare facilities for hair-loss assessment and hair transplantation in Turkey. The process begins with an individual evaluation rather than a predetermined procedure or graft number.
What Is FUE?
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a hair transplantation technique in which individual follicular units are extracted from an appropriate donor area and transferred to the planned recipient area.
The number and distribution of grafts should be determined according to donor capacity, the pattern of hair loss and the long-term treatment plan.
FUE and DHI: What Is the Difference?
FUE primarily describes the method used to extract individual follicular units. DHI is commonly used to describe an implantation approach in which grafts are placed using a specialized implanter.
These terms should not be treated simply as competing packages. The appropriate extraction and implantation approach depends on the patient’s individual clinical assessment and treatment plan.
Natural Results Begin With Planning
A natural-looking result depends not only on the number of grafts but also on hairline design, follicle direction, density distribution, donor-area management and long-term planning.
Treatment planning should therefore consider the possible future progression of hair loss as well as the patient’s current appearance.
What Happens After Hair Transplantation?
Patients receive individualized instructions regarding scalp care, washing and physical activity after the procedure. Temporary shedding of transplanted hairs may occur as part of the normal recovery process.
New hair growth develops gradually. For this reason, the final outcome of hair transplantation cannot be evaluated immediately after the procedure.
