What You Need To Know From Expert Surgeons About Having Professional Hair Transplant 

Here’s what our top hair transplant surgeons want you to know about the hair transplantation procedure and experience. We have gathered together some of the most frequently asked questions about hair transplants, so you can make a better informed decision about having a hair transplant surgery.

What Is A Hair Transplant? A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves moving healthy hair follicles from one part of the head (e.g., back or sides) to the part of the head that has lost hair (e.g., the temples, crown, or front hairline). This is essentially how a hair transplant works. Our clinics in Istanbul, Turkey offer a few types of hair transplants: FUE and DHI hair transplants, as well as unshaven, long hair, and robotic hair transplants. Another way to describe a hair transplant is hair grafting. For instance, viable hair follicles are harvested from a scalp area with an abundance of hair, and are ‘grafted’ into the treatment area of the scalp. The aim of a hair transplant is to restore hair growth to areas of the scalp with hair loss (e.g., thinning hair loss, balding hair loss). A hair transplant at a reputable hair loss clinic can effectively and successfully treat various types of hair loss for both males and females. If your goal is to hold onto your hair as long as possible, or regrow your hair while time allows, then a transplant is something you should strongly consider.
How Long Does A Hair Transplant Last? ‍Does hair transplant last forever? Yes, as this type of surgery is permanent. Transplanted hair is your hair, it is regular hair, and with proper hair care and good health, your newly transplanted hair should last forever. With age, even though your hair follicles will thin, they should produce hair for the rest of your life. Your transplanted hair follicles (hair grafts) will naturally follow a hair life cycle. The cycle has four stages: growth, transition, rest, and shedding; the life cycle lasts a few years for each hair.

Does Hair Transplant Hurt? 

Most of our clients report zero to no pain during a hair transplant. During a hair transplant, the scalp is numbed with a local anaesthesia. Post-surgery, when the topical anaesthesia wears off, some people may experience mild discomfort (e.g., a stinging sensation). This sensation may last about 24 to 48 hours after a hair transplantation procedure.   

When discomfort is reported by hair transplant clients, it is usually after the hair transplant, as the scalp adjusts to the hair follicle harvesting from the donor area and the implantation of hair follicles to the treatment area.

It can take about two weeks to recover from the initial surgery. The scalp needs time to heal and the hair follicles (hair grafts) need time to settle into place. Overall, healing from a hair transplant can take from 5 to 12 months. In as little as five months most hair transplant clients experience visible new hair growth (i.e., on average 50% hair growth). And within a year most transplant recipients will experience up to 100% new hair growth.
