Frequently Asked Questions
At what age can I have a hair transplant?
The most common ages for hair transplantation range from 28 to 60 years old. However, each candidate needs individualized treatment and the appropriate age is considered by the specialized Doctor.
Is it necessary to shave before the hair transplant?
Hair transplantation is possible whether you had a haircut or not. However, in cases of large transplants where the gaps are extensive and a large number of hair follicles are required, a shave is recommended. So the gaps are completely visible and the result even denser.
Do the hairs that have been implanted grow like other hair?
Yes. In hair transplantation, only healthy hair follicles are used, which are taken from the safe zone of hair growth. This hair grows normally just like the rest.
Does the hair transplant procedure hurt?
The entire transplant process is done under local anesthesia. During the operation, the patient does not receive general anesthesia, while he can talk with the doctor and the rest of the nursing staff, even watch TV. It is a process in which time passes pleasantly and the patient's mood changes directly after the transplant.
After how long will I see results?
From the first day, you will start to see your hair getting grown. However, a first picture of the result is visible after 6 months. At 12-13 months, the final result is evaluated.
I am concerned about long-term complications from local anesthesia.
There is no reason for concern, as the local anesthesia we perform is always within the normal and permissible limits. A few hours after the transplant, it subsides completely without any complications.
Is there anything I should watch out for before the hair transplant?
The doctors always takes the medical history first. Some simple instructions to avoid alcohol or certain drugs are given after consultation with the medical staff, a few days before the hair transplant.
Are hair transplant tools disposable?
At K Hair Clinic, we follow strict protocols. Every tool we use is brand new and we destroy it at the end of the treatment.
After the hair transplant, how long should it be before I can go back to work?
In the majority of cases, you can return to your work routine the very next day, being careful about sun exposure as well as the transplanted hair follicles. For activities such as vigorous exercise and swimming, it is advisable to wait at least 10-15 days.
How does the patient sit when the hair transplant is done?
When we receive hair follicles from the donor area, the patient lies face down in a massage position and when we place the grafts in the recipient area, on his back in a semi-sitting position.
Will I need medication after the hair transplant?
After completing the hair transplant, you will need to take antibiotics for just three days. In some cases, cortisone may be needed to prevent edema (swelling) for 3-4 days.
How do you measure the hairs before they are implanted?
Once we remove the hairs from the donor area, our experienced nursing staff counts them under a microscope. At the end of the operation, the patient is informed of the exact number of hair follicles and hairs that were taken and placed.
Can there be complications after a hair transplant?
Most patients do not experience complications. In some cases, headache, swelling, itching or tenderness in the area where the implant was made has occurred. Then, you will need to take prescription drugs from our doctor.
Will the hair transplant affect the hair I already have?
The technique we use (FUE) ensures the careful and safe placement of the grafts at a specific distance from each other, so that neither the grafts themselves nor the existing hairs are affected. Thus, hair loss due to shock (shock loss) is also prevented.
What is the cost of a hair transplant?
In the past, the cost of hair transplant was quite expensive. However, now, the cost of hair transplant is quite affordable. For this reason, this specific aesthetic intervention is gaining more and more interested groups all over the world.
Hair transplant costs vary depending on the size of the area to be restored and the number of hair follicles to be implanted. In our clinic, a personalized treatment plan is formulated for each interested individual.
As far as cost formation is concerned, we use economies of scale depending on the number of hair follicles in order to make it an aesthetic intervention accessible to everyone.
