Hair Transplant FAQ’s

Entry into Turkey is still possible and without quarantine. In addition to the general regulations, the highest hygiene standards apply at the airport, in the hotel and at the clinic, which are strictly controlled. No quarantine is required for the return journey to England, either.

You need a negative Corona test no older than 48 hours on entry, unless you are fully vaccinated or recovered with a medical certificate. This must be organised by each patient themselves. A Traveller Entry Form is also required upon entry. Our experts will be happy to answer any further questions you may have.  Please check the current guidelines on the government website before you travel.

In order to optimally prepare your donor area for the hair transplant, you should maintain a healthy lifestyle 14 days before the treatment. Refrain from nicotine and alcohol as much as possible.

The use of hair growth products is also not recommended for the last few weeks before the treatment.

If you regularly take medication, discuss this with your doctor.

Hair transplant costs are individual for each patient. Factors that influence the total price of your treatment are the number of grafts that are transplanted and the chosen method.

At Elithair, every patient receives a detailed consultation and a non-binding cost estimate in advance.

Turkey is the European hub for hair transplant surgery. It’s the home to many of the leading doctors in this field, which includes our Dr Balwi. As Turkey is the home of hair restoration treatments, the quality here is extremely high.

Furthermore, due to the lower cost of living (compared to the UK) the cost of a hair transplant in Turkey is incredibly competitive.

The crusts fall off after approx. 8 – 12 days. After that, you can go about your daily life as usual. You should refrain from sport for 2 – 4 weeks, depending on the intensity. You should also protect your head from the sun after the hair transplant. We will provide you with a special hat for this purpose.

After hair transplantation, soreness due to swelling of the head is possible. This should disappear after a few days. Itching may occur due to the wound healing. Please do not scratch with your fingernails under any circumstances.

The result of a hair transplant lasts a lifetime. Therefore, you can see the hair transplant costs as a sensible and effective investment. In contrast to hair growth products, in many cases one treatment is enough to get naturally full hair again.

No, the hair cannot fall out again because it is hereditary donor hair. Therefore, your result remains for life.

There are various methods of hair transplantation. Different methods can be useful for different hair types. Our experts will find out together with you in a personal consultation whether the Sapphire, SDHI or DHI technique ensures optimal results for you.

The NEO FUE method is suitable for all hair types and ensures optimal enrichment of the hair follicles with stem cells. The grafts are supplied with increased nutrition, which makes the grafts more robust and stable during extraction.

Despite the short separation from the supply chain, the follicles remain strong and healthy. Another advantage is that the transplanted hairs in the recipient area have a higher growth rate and a faster regeneration of the donor area is possible.

The Sapphire technique uses very high-quality and gentle blades made of sapphire glass. This opens the hair channels in a V-shape with the highest precision. The sapphire blade also has an antiseptic effect, which is why the subsequent healing phase is very short, at only 10 days.

The FUE method is a special technique for harvesting the hair follicles for a hair transplant. The grafts are taken individually from the donor area. This is done in a particularly gentle way. The FUE method is therefore considered the most modern extraction technique.

In DHI hair transplantation, the opening of the hair channels and the insertion of the harvested hair follicles is not done separately, but in one step. The grafts are first inserted into a special CHOI pen and transplanted directly into the scalp.

SDHI hair transplantation combines two different techniques for transplanting your hair. The Sapphire technique is used for the hairline. First the hair channels are opened, then the grafts are inserted. In the remaining area, the follicles are inserted using the DHI technique, which does not require a separate channel opening.
