Everything You Want to Know About Hair Transplants
We have answered the most common questions about preparing for a hair transplant, the procedure itself and recovery.
01What do I need for a hair transplant?
The most important requirement is a healthy, productive donor area from which grafts can be harvested. If there is a problem with the donor area, a hair transplant cannot be completed successfully.

Your genetic characteristics and facial muscle structure play an important role in designing the hairline. Our hair transplant specialists plan each hairline with great care.

It depends on your individual characteristics and the technique used. A hair transplant usually takes 6 to 8 hours, and may be shorter or longer depending on the size of the area to be covered.
04What should I pay attention to before a hair transplant?
Before the procedure, you will need some blood tests to confirm that you are suitable for surgery. Tests such as HBsAg, HIV and HCV should be completed in advance. You should also tell our specialists about any medication you take and any chronic conditions you have.

07How many grafts will I need?
Every hair transplant is different. The number of grafts you need can only be determined after a hair analysis.
08Is there an age limit for a hair transplant?
Rather than age, what matters is the extent of your hair loss. A hair transplant is possible for anyone with enough hair loss to require it and whose hair loss has slowed down.
09Does a hair transplant have any side effects?
Hair transplantation performed under local anaesthesia is considered a safe procedure, and serious side effects are not expected.
10Can a hair transplant give me natural-looking hair?
Yes. The aim of a hair transplant is to restore thinning areas and give you natural-looking hair. The skill of the specialist plays a major role here.
11Which techniques are used in hair transplantation?
Several factors determine which technique is right for you. Our specialists decide on the technique only after carrying out the necessary examinations.

13Will I feel any pain after a hair transplant?
Mild pain and a tingling sensation are normal after the procedure. Severe pain is not expected, but if needed, medication can be used on the advice of our specialists.
14Will I need a bandage after the procedure?
The transplanted area is not covered. A headband may only be placed around the donor area to protect it from external factors.
15Will the transplanted hair fall out?
Transplanted hair is not expected to fall out permanently, because grafts are taken from the back of the head, the area least prone to hair loss. If you notice hair loss, you should consult a specialist.
