A hair transplant can be performed professionally in Turkey and grow thick and healthy hair, putting an end to your long frustrating journey of hair loss.
A hair transplant is a cosmetic operation that is carried out by picking hair follicles from the donor area, which is the back and sides of the scalp, to be transplanted in the bald areas, which are called the recipient areas.
A hair transplant is a minimally invasive procedure that is done under local anesthesia. So, you can easily get rid of the baldness over the top of your head and restore healthy hair. Furthermore, a hair transplant is considered an effective treatment for people who experience hair thinning or even hairline receding.
Generally, the required number of follicles that are transplanted, differs from patient to patient according to the size of the baldness area. However, at our clinic, we use advanced techniques that can implant maximum hair follicles, ensuring the ideal depth and right direction. Let’s have a look at our hair transplant techniques:
FUE stands for Follicles Unites Extraction. A popular technique is basically performed by picking hair follicles one by one from the donor areas using a micro motor, transferring them into the baldness areas. The implant process is done by opening very tiny channels in the recipient areas using fine medical blades. At our clinic, the FUE hair transplantation procedure involves three sub techniques:
Sapphire technique is a special FUE technique whose medical blades, which are used for creating tiny channels in the recipient area, are made of valuable stone called “Sapphire”. By depending on this type of blade, the patient does not need to worry about the operation anymore. Thanks to the nature of the sapphire, it causes no damage or scars while the doctor makes tiny incisions in the scalp. So, it is totally safe and highly recommended.
Berkutan method is a modern FUE technique, which aims to create very tiny channels using a microneedle made of titanium, unlike the classic FUE technique which is based on steel blades. By fine titanium needle, Berkutan technique can ensure safe transplantation with natural hair direction and depth.
OSL technique is a new hair transplant method that is developed by Turkish physician Yetkin Bayer. OSL which stands for Oblique Simi-Lateral is based on tiny and very sharp blades, which open tiny channels in the recipient area professionally. The operation using the OSL technique can be carried out successfully by our qualified doctors who have sufficient experience in dealing with this method.
A DHI technique, which stands for "Direct Hair Transplant", is one of the latest high technologies in the field of hair transplantation in Turkey. It has proved its powerful potential to offer quality results for patients who suffer from hair loss since it entered the cosmetic industry.
DHI is based on a stunning implanter called “Choi Pen” by which the hair transplant specialist can create tiny channels and implant the graft concurrently. He loads the implanter’s hollow needle with the graft gently, implanting it by just one click on the plunger. The operation usually requires a couple of Choi pens and several needles for the implantation process.
With DHI, the patient can get fast recovery and ensure no damage or scars due to using the Choi pen. Furthermore, DHI does not require shaving the recipient area, so it is an appropriate technique for people who want to keep their hair long.
Not everyone is capable of carrying out hair transplantation. There are a number of basic criteria which the right candidate should meet:
The patient should be over 25 years old.
The patient should be in good general health.
The donor area must be adequate enough to compensate for the baldness area.
The patient should have a serious hair loss which affects his look significantly.
In order to ensure a successful operation with satisfying results, the qualified patients for hair transplantation in Turkey should follow the following instructions before the procedure:
If the patient is a smoker, then he should stop smoking for at least two weeks prior to the procedure, since smoking has a negative impact on the surgery’s performance.
Blood-thinning medications or drinks (Green tea) should be avoided for two weeks before the procedure, in order to prevent the patient from severe bleeding within the operation.
Certain medicines must be stopped, including aspirins or anti-inflammatory drugs at least for a week prior to the surgery.
The patient should stop drinking alcoholic beverages and caffeinated drinks, including tea and coffee for a week before the procedure.
B or E vitamins or any type of multi-vitamin supplement containing B or E vitamins must be refrained for a week prior to the surgery, in order to avoid excessive bleeding during the operation.
Let’s have a deep look at how hair transplant is performed through the following stages:
The hair transplant begins with drawing the hairline and defines the number of hair follicles that are needed for filling the baldness area in the patient’s scalp.
The scalp is subjected to some necessary medical tests, including blood, dermatology examinations. Through those tests, the doctor can make his final decision if the patient can do hair transplantation or not.
Next, if the hair transplant is performed using the FUE technique, then the patient's head should be shaved in order to make the process easier. However, in the case of the DHI technique, only the donor area is trimmed, so the doctor can pick the hair follicles accurately.
Afterwards, the patient will be administered to the local anesthesia, which is good enough to make him feel comfortable during the operation.
In this stage, the doctor uses a micro motor device to pick the target follicles one by one from the donor area.
Finally, the implant process which is done under the FUE technique is different from the transplantation through the DHI technique. By FUE, the doctor uses sharp blades or fine needles to open tiny channels, then implants the grafts in the recipient area manually one by another.
However, DHI does not require any blades, the doctor uses a Choi implant which is loaded with the graft, then by pressing down the Choi plunger, the graft will be implanted in the appropriate depth and direction.
Here are some important aftercare tips which help the patient ensure ideal results and get a speedy recovery.
Take the medications which are prescribed by the doctor. They will help you get well.
Keep wearing the head bandage for 2 days after the procedure.
Don’t wash the hair or having a shower for 3 days after the procedure
Try to keep the head straight as possible and sleep in a semi-vertical position for 5 days.
Avoid sun exposure and bad weather for a month after the procedure.
Don’t swim for 3 months after the procedure.
Avoid smoking for 2 months after the transplantation.
Stay away from strenuous physical activities for at least a week.
A hair transplant might be associated with the following common side effects :
Scalp infections
Bleeding around the microsurgical incisions in the first days after the operation.
Scalp itching, which is a natural reaction to the body's healing.
Bruising, swelling, and pain around the scalp.
Inflammation of hair grafts
Numbness or loss of sensation around the surgical incisions.
When you are thinking about performing a hair transplant, Turkey should be on your top priority countries list.
Turkey is one of the best destinations in the world when it comes to hair transplant costs.
The hair transplant cost in Turkey is considered cheap in comparison with the European countries and the USA.
Of course, it has nothing to do with the quality, Turkey is full of reputable cosmetic clinics which offer high-quality medical services at very reasonable prices.
There are two crucial reasons behind the low hair transplant cost in Turkey, involving the low cost of living and continuous Turkish Lira depreciation against the dollar.
Therefore, since Turkey can offer cosmetic services at very competitive prices, it will always be the most dominant country that attracts foreigners from all around the world.

The process goes through the exact stages using the same techniques, but the transplantation targets the facial area for men (beard).
Yes, the patient is given a certificate of guarantee for the hair transplant results as well. The hair is permanent because the hair follicles, which are extracted from the donor area, have the same original hair’s properties. Therefore when they are implanted in the baldness area, they maintain the same properties.
Hair transplantation can be carried out in five basic stages: Preparation stage – in this stage, necessary medical examinations are performed, the patient is clinically examined by the doctor, the follicles are examined, the head is shaved and the forehead line is drawn according to the standards of the World Health Organization. Anesthesia stage - in which the patient receives local anesthesia. In the follicles extraction stage, the follicles are picked from the donor area, (the back of the scalp) through a medical device with a very fine head called (Micromotor) Sorting and preservation stage, through this stage, the grafts are sorted by the number of follicles, single, double, and triple follicle grafts. Then, the extracted grafts are preserved in a saline solution. Opening the channels: the channels are opened in the balding areas, and here the transplantation is carried out by two different techniques: Sapphire pens which are based on (FUE) technique Choi pens which are (DHI) technique
Mira Clinic uses the latest hair transplant techniques, which are as follows: Follicular unit extraction (FUE) Direct hair implantation technique (DHI) The appropriate technique for the patient is determined according to specific criteria, such as the condition of both donor area and baldness area, as well as the number of follicles that are required to cover the scalp to ensure the best result.
