Since the procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, patients barely experience any pain. Elithair even has a needle-free anaesthetic applicator which makes the procedure even more comfortable, called the “Comfort-In” method.

Only a feeling of light pressure is reported by patients during the procedure, and there’s no pain during the healing process either.

The minimum age for a hair transplant is different depending on the clinic. At Elithair, you must be at least 18 years old before you consider a hair transplant.

Furthermore, a maximum age is often set by clinics. In addition, hair transplants are generally not performed on patients over the age of 70. .

Finding a good hair clinic in Istanbul can be tricky. Most importantly, make sure that the hair clinic has the internationally valid seal of quality such as that of the JCI Commission. Many renowned clinics have an English website and / or an office in Europe.

Check that several transplant methods are available and that an English speaking interpreter will be provided to you. Before choosing a clinic, it is also recommended to read customer reviews on the Internet.

Hair transplants are permanent, life-long solutions to hair loss. The hairs that are transplanted into the bald or thinning areas are resistant against DHT (the hormone that causes hair loss). Therefore it’s rare for baldness to recur.

Occasionally you many need a 2nd hair transplant, but this will be in areas where the transplanted hairs weren’t inserted before. For example, the first hair transplant was to fix a receding hairline, but now your hair is thinning at the crown. However, once these procedures are finished you won’t need to ever have the operation again.

The DHI method uses the innovative CHOI-pen which implants the hairs directly into the scalp. DHI is an enhanced technique that enables the direction of hair growth to be actively determined. However, as the hairs are directly implanted, the direction has to be perfect the first time. Therefore, this method requires an extremely high level of skill.

On the other hand, FUE uses channel openings that are formed with a Sapphire blade. Then the hairs are individually inserted.

The DHI and FUE methods aren’t better than each other, they can even be used in combination. But the DHI method is better for the hairline as the direction of hair growth can be more accurate.

New, innovative techniques have been purposely designed to achieve natural-looking results. Elithair carefully creates a hairline that suits your face. In addition, the hairs are implanted with a soft line, as opposed to a harsh, unnatural finish. Therefore the hairs sit slightly staggered to tone down the severity of a new hairline.

All the hairs are implanted with a small amount of space between each hair, just like the hairs would be normally. Therefore the hair density looks natural and the bald areas are now covered with growing hair.

As with any surgery, unwanted side effects can occur. However, by choosing the right clinic and the right doctors in Turkey, you minimise the risks and side effects. Regarding possible risks, inflammation and infection can occur. But this only happens, however, with improper aftercare or if you scratch your head after your hair transplant.

At Elithair we are incredibly careful when it comes to health and safety. The health and well being of our patients is the most important thing to us. Therefore, we ask that you inform us of any allergies you have so we can prevent any serious allergic reactions from occurring.

Women can also benefit from a hair transplant in Turkey. The same transplant techniques are used for both women and men. For women a hair transplant is ideal for treating traction alopecia, alopecia areata and hair thinning.

As part of the free consultation, we determine the cause of your hair loss. If your hair loss is due to pregnancy, hormones or menopause for example, then this surgery isn’t usually necessary. This is because your hair will grow back when your hormones balance out.

Shaving is always necessary during a hair transplant, but sometimes shaving the whole head isn’t needed. If the hair follicles are only extracted from the back of the head then only this area needs to be shaved. If you want a hair transplant strictly without shaving, it is possible in some cases to opt for Biofibre.

Following a hair transplant, the hair follicles enter a resting phase. So, about two to six weeks after the hair implant session, the hair falls out. Their regrowth begins at three months. The newly implanted hair stays thin at first, then it becomes denser. As for the final result, it is visible after about a year.

The duration of a hair implant session depends on the transplant method chosen and the number of follicular units to be transplanted. The larger the areas to be treated, the greater the number of grafts, especially if you have very fine hair.

In general, we can expect a hair transplant to last between 4-9 hours maximum.

If you’re feeling insecure and suffering from low self-esteem because of your hair loss then a hair transplant is definitely worth it. At Elithair we strive to restore the confidence of our patients with this one-time treatment, to give you a new love for life.

A hair transplant is a light surgical procedure that takes between 6-8 hours (depending on how many grafts you need). Once it’s completed, your journey to full hair begins. In just a few months you start to see new hairs growing in areas that were previously bald. Those hairs will last you a lifetime, so it’s undeniably worthwhile.

You should get a hair transplant when you start to see bald patches or when your hairline has receded. Don’t leave your head to go completely bald because we need donor hair to perform the transplant. If you have a low number of donor hairs then it may not be possible to achieve a full head of hair again. So we recommend that you discuss your concerns with us at your easiest convenience. Therefore, we will be able to advise you about how to effectively care for your hair.

You can get a hair transplant all year round, however during the summer you will need to protect your head from the sun. During the first few months after your surgery, your hair will be delicate. To avoid causing any damage to the scalp or the newly implanted hair follicles, you need to protect your head from sun damage. We will provide you with a hat for this purpose.

Turkey offers incredibly competitive prices compared to the UK and other European countries. Although the costs are low, quality is never compromised. Therefore, in Turkey you can benefit from both a quality treatment and affordable prices.

In addition, Turkey is only a short flight from the UK and boasts gorgeous weather and scenery. As part of your stay, you can enjoy the local surroundings and stay in a luxury hotel in the heart of Istanbul.
