To guarantee a stress-free journey, our team provides 24/7 customer support, ensuring every detail is taken care of for your hair transplant procedure.
During the booking process for hair transplantation surgery, Hair of Istanbul conducts an initial review of the recipient and donor areas. Once your booking is confirmed, your dedicated Individual Representative provides detailed instructions to help you prepare effectively, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience leading up to your hair transplant procedure.
For your hair transplant procedure, stop drinking alcohol at least one week before, consult your doctor to discontinue any blood thinners, and refrain from shaving your hair for one month. Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months and bring your blood test reports. If you have scalp irritation, redness, or pimples, please inform your Customer Representative.
At Hair of Istanbul (HOI), the preferred method for hair transplantation is Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), a scar-free, painless technique allowing for the maximum number of grafts. With a focus on achieving natural density, HOI has completed over 19,000 successful operations since 2013, boasting a 99% success rate. The procedure, lasting 6–9 hours, involves expert planning, precise follicle extraction, and graft implantation, all performed by a team of specialized professionals. Thanks to local anesthesia, the process is entirely pain-free, ensuring comfort and outstanding results.
The hairline design is the first and most critical stage of the hair transplant procedure. During this process, specialists carefully review the patient’s previous hairline images and, with close attention to the donor area, create a design that achieves the most natural and aesthetic outcome. This step ensures a personalized and seamless hairline tailored to enhance each patient’s appearance.
Extraction
It is one of the most critical stages in hair transplantation, where hair follicles are meticulously extracted from the donor site using the FUE technique. For optimal results, the roots are removed along with their surrounding tissue, ensuring no damage to the skin. This delicate process requires the expertise of highly skilled specialists, making it essential for achieving natural hair restoration.
Opening
Apart from hairline design and graft extraction, channel opening is a decisive factor in achieving a natural-looking outcome. Since hair grows at specific angles, the expert HOI medical team ensures every detail is meticulously addressed, performing the channel preparation with precision and care for the best results.
After your hair transplant procedure, our doctor will provide detailed guidance on the necessary medications to support recovery. The day after the procedure, nursing staff will perform your medical dressing to ensure proper healing. Prior to your departure, a dedicated patient representative will explain the comprehensive aftercare process, including the first hair wash procedure conducted at our clinic. By following these instructions and maintaining consistent care, you can maximize the results of your hair transplant and enjoy a smooth, successful recovery experience.
After the hair transplant procedure, both the donor and receiving areas remain quite sensitive, and there is anesthesia liquid in the body. One must not bump the treated areas or even bend over for a period of time to prevent compromising the results. Sleeping is strongly recommended with a travel pillow for support. Rest assured that the HOI team will never be far away if an emergency arises.
At Hair of Istanbul, products recommended by hair specialists are carefully selected to support the healthy and rapid growth of transplanted hair. In partnership with Kerastase and Olaplex, these premium products are designed to nourish and strengthen your hair during the recovery process. Hair of Istanbul representatives provide these specially curated product sets to patients before they leave the clinic, ensuring the best care for your hair transplant journey.
The hair transplant journey begins with the surgical procedure itself. New hair growth typically starts within 3 to 5 months, with final results becoming visible after 8 to 12 months. At HOI, our experienced team is dedicated to understanding each patient’s unique needs, offering comprehensive guidance throughout the recovery process to ensure complete satisfaction.
