Hair transplant in Mersin

In DHI, follicles are implanted with a fine-tipped tool called a Choi pen, which opens the channel and places the follicle at the same time. It is often chosen for dense, well-angled work at the hairline.

The procedure is done under local anaesthesia. You may feel a brief sting while it is given; after that, pain is not expected in the treated area. Your doctor may suggest painkillers for the first nights.

It depends on the stage of hair loss, the size of the area and the density of your donor area. The online analysis gives a general range; the exact number is set at the consultation.

Most people with desk jobs return within 3 to 5 days. Heavy physical work and sport usually wait about a month.

It is not advised with an insufficient donor area, uncontrolled chronic illness, or some conditions while hair loss is still active. Suitability is decided at the consultation.

Cost depends on the technique, the number of grafts and the length of the procedure, and is given to you personally after the consultation.

Grafts are usually taken from the back and sides of the scalp, where hair is genetically resistant to shedding, so once they take they mostly last for life. Existing hair that was not transplanted can keep thinning over the years, and the plan takes that into account.

New hairs usually start to appear, fine at first, from the third month. Most people see a clear change between months 6 and 9; the final look takes 12 months, sometimes up to 18 on the crown.

Between weeks 2 and 8 the transplanted hair shafts shed. This is expected: the follicles stay in the skin and grow new hair after a resting phase. Some nearby existing hair may also shed for a while.

For small areas, especially the hairline, DHI can often be planned without shaving the recipient area. A small patch of the donor area is usually trimmed. Whether you qualify depends on the size of the area and the number of grafts, and is decided at the consultation.

Usually 6 to 8 hours depending on the number of grafts, under local anaesthesia; you stay awake. There are breaks to rest and eat during the day.

The first wash is usually on day 2 or 3, at the clinic or following the team's instructions. Crusts are softened and rinsed away without rubbing over 10 to 14 days. You get the instructions in writing when you leave.

Walking after 3 to 5 days and light cardio after about 2 weeks. Weights, contact sports, the pool, the sea and the sauna usually wait about a month. Your doctor confirms the timing at your check-up.

FUE and DHI take grafts one by one, so there is no linear scar. Tiny dot-like marks may show in the donor area if the hair is cut very short; at normal length they are usually not visible.

Yes, when it is suitable. Hair loss in women is often diffuse, so the cause is investigated first and hormone or blood tests may be requested. If thinning is limited to one area and the donor area is good, a transplant can be planned.

Both use grafts taken from the scalp, so the grafts that take are usually permanent. Eyebrow grafts keep growing like scalp hair and need regular trimming.

Grafts from the beard or chest may be considered, or the target area is made smaller. Sometimes medical treatment is recommended instead of a transplant; the decision follows a dermatoscopic examination.

Because both affect circulation and healing, stop smoking a week before and alcohol a few days before the procedure, and avoid both for at least two weeks afterwards. Tell the doctor about any medicines you take regularly.
