Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Transplantation

We mostly harvest hair follicles from the nape and side areas of the head. Then, we place it in sparse areas in accordance with your hairline and transplantation plan. Hair transplantation does not produce new follicles; it moves existing roots to another area.

No. First of all, we examine the cause of the hair loss, the condition of your scalp and the density of the area where we will take root. If the nape area is sparse or the hair loss is caused by an active health problem, hair transplantation may not be suitable. We determine medical suitability through physician evaluation.

It's not the same. Graft is a hair follicle unit that may contain one or more hair strands. During planning, we look not only at the number of grafts, but also at the capacity of your donor area, the structure of your hair and the width of the area to be transplanted.

We discuss your facial proportions, the direction of your current hair growth, the distribution of your hair loss and your expectations together. We show you the hairline plan and discuss the need for grafts and the protection of the donor area along with this plan.

In DHI application, we place the hair follicles with a special implanter pen. In the application known as Sapphire FUE, channels are opened in the transplantation area with a sapphire tip and grafts are placed in these channels. FUE describes the removal of roots; That's why we don't compare methods just by their names.

In the Long DHI application, we also focus on maintaining the current hair length when using the DHI implanter pen. However, shortening may be required in the nape area where we will take root. We explain which areas we can leave long by examining your hair in the initial consultation.

Not always. In partial shave application, we can shorten some areas while leaving other hair long. We explain the difference between completely unshaved application and partial shaving by separately examining the nape and the transplantation area where the root will be taken.

No. DHI defines how we place hair follicles; it does not alone determine whether shaving is necessary or not. We show you the haircut plan in advance according to the structure of your donor area, number of grafts and transplantation area.

They are not the same terms. The term Long FUE emphasizes the approach of taking roots and working with long hair with FUE, while Long DHI emphasizes the plan of placing it with the DHI implanter pen and preserving the hair length. We also explain the scope of graft extraction, placement and shaving for each procedure.

We want you to share with us the medications and supplements you use, your allergies, previous operations and important health problems. We give you special information about haircut, nutrition on the day of the procedure and test preparation, if any, during the initial consultation. Do not stop taking your prescribed medications without telling your doctor.

We don't guarantee that you won't feel anything. Local anesthesia aims to reduce pain in the procedure area. You may experience stinging or burning during anesthesia, and pressure and tactile sensations during the procedure. We want you to tell our medical team if you feel uncomfortable.

Local anesthesia is often used in hair transplantation. Whether sedation or another anesthesia approach is required is decided based on your health condition and physician evaluation. We explain the anesthesia to be applied to you before the procedure.

We recommend that you bring your ID, relevant medical records, if any, and a list of the medications you use. You can choose a front-opening outfit that you can take off without rubbing your head. We share instructions regarding arrival time, nutrition and companions before the operation.

We want you to prevent the transplantation area from rubbing against the pillow and your head from getting hit. We explain in which position you should rest after the operation. We also show you how to use the neck pillow included in our Long DHI package.

We explain the time and application method of the first wash specifically to you after the process. We ask that you do not rub the transplantation area, do not use nails, and protect it from strong water pressure. Follow the care instructions we give you.

Some of the transplanted hair strands may fall out in the first weeks. This situation alone does not mean that the hair follicles are lost. New hair takes months to grow; we explain the importance of following the process with photos and controls.

The time it takes to return to work and sports depends on the scope of the application, your working conditions and your recovery. We share specific instructions for topics such as heavy exercise, risk of head contact and use of protective headgear; we do not say the same day for everyone.

If you experience increasing or severe pain, fever, foul-smelling discharge, heavy bleeding, or significant deterioration, contact the healthcare team performing the procedure without waiting for the scheduled check-up. In case of severe or urgent symptoms, seek emergency healthcare without delay.

We explain the medical scope of the applications and the conditions of the document in the initial consultation.

One year of follow-up and guidance is part of the Long DHI package we have explained to you. We do not assume that the products and follow-up support are the same in other methods; we also explain the scope of the service you are interested in.

No. Our Long DHI package includes a warranty certificate; However, this statement does not mean that we guarantee a certain hair density or that all grafts will adhere. We explain what the document covers and its conditions at the initial consultation.
