Hair transplant Istanbul — frequently asked questions

FUE extracts grafts, opens channels, then implants. DHI uses Choi implanter pens for direct placement, which can improve angle control and suit no-shave cases.

No-shave FUE allows extraction and implantation without shaving the entire head — you keep most of your length while a small donor zone is worked discreetly. Ideal for professionals and short recovery windows.

Graft count depends on balding area, desired density, and donor supply. A typical session ranges from 2,000 to 4,500 grafts. We estimate from your photos during consultation.

Most patients resume desk work in 3–5 days. Redness and scabs usually resolve within 10–14 days. New growth becomes visible around months 3–4, with full results at 12–18 months.

Outcomes depend on clinic standards. Choose a licensed facility with documented protocols, experienced surgeons, and clear aftercare. Ask about team credentials and complication policies.

Yes. Female patients are usually treated under our no-shave long-hair FUE protocol — not a fourth technique. Planning focuses on part-line widening, conservative density, and keeping length where possible.

Men often choose FUE or DHI by graft count and hairline goals. Women and professionals who cannot shave fully are commonly planned under no-shave long-hair FUE. We advise after reviewing your photos.
