The duration of a hair transplant varies depending on the technique used and the number of grafts to be transplanted. It typically takes between 4 and 8 hours. For more intensive techniques like DHI, the session may take slightly longer. The procedure is completed the same day, and the patient is discharged after a short recovery period.

At Haarex Clinic, hair transplantation is performed by selecting the most appropriate technique based on the patient’s needs and hair structure. The most commonly used methods include FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), Sapphire FUE, and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation).

In the FUE technique, hair follicles are extracted individually and transplanted. The Sapphire FUE method uses special sapphire-tipped microblades, resulting in faster healing and a natural appearance. In the DHI technique, hair follicles are directly transplanted using the Choi pen, achieving dense and natural results.

The recovery period after a hair transplant varies from person to person, but is generally completed within 7 to 10 days. You may experience mild scabbing and redness during the first few days; this is completely normal. By approximately day 10, the transplanted area has healed significantly, and the patient can easily return to their normal lives. The transplanted hair will fall out and regenerate within 2–3 months, with permanent results appearing within 6–12 months.

Transplanted hair usually begins to grow 2 to 3 months after the procedure. A temporary loss called “shock shedding” may occur during this period, but this is completely normal. New hair follicles then strengthen and begin to appear starting in the third month. Visible results are seen in the sixth month, and a permanent, natural look is fully established by the 12th month.

Yes, transplanted hair is permanent. The grafts used in hair transplants are taken from the nape of the neck, which is genetically resistant to hair loss. Therefore, they will not fall out after the transplant and will continue to grow for a lifetime. However, proper care, nutrition, and adherence to your doctor’s recommendations are crucial for maintaining healthy hair after the transplant.

Ideal candidates for a hair transplant are those whose hair loss has become permanent, who have sufficient hair follicles in the donor area (at the nape of the neck), and who are in good general health. Generally, men and women over the age of 20 who have completed their hair loss are considered suitable candidates. Furthermore, patients with realistic expectations and a willingness to follow their doctor’s recommendations achieve the best results from a hair transplant.

Hair transplant costs vary depending on the technique used (FUE, Sapphire FUE, DHI), the number of grafts to be transplanted, and the service package. At Haarex Clinic, each patient is individually planned; therefore, the final price is determined after an examination and analysis. Hair transplant prices at our Antalya clinic are quite advantageous compared to international standards, considering the technology used and the quality of service.
