Watch This Space for Our Exciting New Styles
Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure that involves removing hair follicles from one part of the body, known as the ‘donor site,’ and transplanting them to a bald or balding part of the body, known as the recipient site.’ The procedure is mostly used to treat male pattern baldness. Patients who undergo hair transplantation regain their own hair permanently, as if they had never lost it.
Hair loss can be caused by genetic factors, but it can also be caused by aging, traumatic injuries, or a variety of medical conditions. Hair transplantation can be performed successfully on anyone who has a sufficient number of hair follicles, regardless of the cause of hair loss. The transplantation method is effective not only on the scalp, but also on other parts of the body such as the brows, moustache, and beard.
DHI HAIR TRANSPLANT
This technique opens the incisions of the extracted grafts from the donor area and transplants it in the bald area by using one tool which is the Choi implant pens. The technique used by our surgeons will minimize any aggravation on your scalp as hairs are being removed and then placed into the bald areas.
FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT
The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a cosmetic hair transplant microsurgery procedure with minimal intervention, faster healing process, and scars absence. Involves the extraction of single follicular units from usually the nape, the donor area, to be inserted in the open micro-channels in the receiving area. (the area with baldness).
SAPPHIRE FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT
Rather than the steel blades being used for typical FUE transplantation, sapphire FUE treatments use cutters produced from a rare jewel named sapphire. Sapphire blades allow for much more thick transplanting, allowing patients with significant baldness to achieve a more natural-looking hair restoration. Because of the sapphire blade’s precision, durability, and antibacterial properties, the danger of problems such as injury and head skin damage is decreased.
ORGANIC HAIR TRANSPLANT
Organic Hair Transplantation is a revolutionary innovation in conventional hair transplantation that involves injecting into the scalp a mixture of adipose-derived new texture from the patient’s own adipose tissue. The effect of new texture injection rejuvenates the recipient area and improves transplanted graft survivability. The injection of new texture made from fat also provides the surgeon with a broader work area.
Heart, blood and skin diseases are risk factors for hair transplants. If you have a history of heart attack, eczema or lupus, hair transplant is not recommended.
If you are on medication of any type, please consult your primary doctor and inform us.
If you are a regular smoker, stop smoking before 7-10 days of the operation. Also, stop taking alcohol before 1-2 days of the operation.

Before Procedure; If you are the one who is thinking about undergoing a hair transplant surgery, it is so usual to linger on some thoughts such as what should I do before a hair transplant? What should I know before hair transplant? How to prepare for my forthcoming hair transplant?
It is normal to feel nervous and excited if you have never experienced hair transplantation before. Therefore, the role of our consultation and information is so essential for the patient’s psychological readiness.
HOW LONG DOES THE OPERATION TAKE?
Depending on the technique used and number of grafts transplanted, the operation is done in 4-8 hours. It is done in single day. There are breaks during the procedure.
WHAT KIND OF ANESTHESIA IS USED IN HAIR TRANSPLANT OPERATION?
Local anesthesia is used in hair transplant operation.
CAN I HAVE GENERAL ANESTHESIA FOR HAIR TRANSPLANT OPERATION?
General anesthesia is not required for hair transplant. It can be done optionally, but it is not recommended. In practice, we almost never do general anesthesia in hair transplants.
HOW IS A TYPICAL OPERATION DAY AT THE CLINIC?
Your day at the clinic starts with blood test and medical background check. If medical clearance is taken, transplant operation can be started.
Before the operation, you have a session with the doctor to discuss details of operation and desired transplant features (e.g. desired hairline, priority areas for higher density). Desired hairline is literally drawn to your head. Afterwards, you are taken to operation room.
First step in the operation is to take targeted number of grafts from donor area. After all the grafts are taken, you have a lunch break.
After the break, transplant stage starts. There are differences between FUE and DHI techniques, but in either technique, grafts are transplanted to target areas based on desired shape and density.
Finally, after the operation, you have some rest in the clinic and are taken to your hotel.
HOW LONG DOES THE SCABS REMAIN?
Scabs remain for 7-10 days after the operation.
HOW IS THE PROPER CARE IN FIRST 7-10 DAYS AFTER THE OPERATION?
Just after the operation (day 0), you will have a bandage and hairband in your head. It is important to keep them for the next 2 days before initial wash.
On day 2, before you leave, initial wash is performed by the doctor. We provide you with special shampoo and lotion that are used during first 10 days. Bandage and hairband are removed. We describe post-op hair wash procedure to you, so that you can perform it yourself.
Scabs start go down in 7-10 days, and after that it is not understood that you had hair transplant. Newly transplanted hair starts to grow around this period.
It is not recommended to take alcohol during this period.
