The primary source of donor hair that is used in hair transplantation is located at the back of the head.
As the hair follicles in the region along the back of the head and between the ears are resistant to hair loss, they remain as the primary source of grafts used in hair transplantation.
The hair follicles extracted from the donor area does not grow back again, for this reason efficient utilization of the donor area remains the most significant element in hair transplantation.
Hair follicles are extracted from the donor area homogeneously so the donor site will not be noticeable after the surgery

Prior to the hair transplant procedure, if you maintain the length of your hair, without having it cut or shaved, during the consultation session, your doctor will be able to obtain more information and assess your hair loss condition more accurately.
Hair transplant, Before hair transplant
First of all, you should inform your primary care physician about the hair transplant operation and once you have received approval to temporarily stop taking your medication, you should discontinue taking any medication that might thin your blood such as aspirin for about three days prior to the operation.
Prior to the hair transplant operation, please inform us about your current health condition and the medications (if any) that you are taking.

A hair transplant is usually carried out under local anaesthetic, which means you will not feel any pain. As of 2019, Dr. Serkan Aygin Clinic has started to carry out hair transplantation with sedation so as to make their patients feel more comfortable during the operation. In hair transplantation combined with sedation, as the patient will remain awake without feeling any discomfort, he/she will not feel the graft extraction, recipient site creation and transplantation processes. The patient undergoes the procedure without feeling any pain or discomfort.
Hair transplant, DHI, Soft FUE, Sapphire, After Hair Transplant
After a hair transplant procedure, the amount of time required for recovery, healing and growth of the new hairs, is extended over a period of 12 months.
Between 2 to 3 weeks after a hair transplant procedure most patients experience a phenomenon known as “shock hair loss“, where the new hair grafts enter a resting phase and the hairs are shed.
This is a perfectly normal and natural process that most patients experience after a hair transplant procedure. There is nothing to worry about.
After the shedding of the newly transplanted grafts your new, healthy hairs will soon begin to grow in their place.
In about 2 to 2.5 months your transplanted hair will be entering its normal growth cycle and grow approximately 1.5 cm every month.
From 9th month onwards, the transplanted hair will improve in texture and at the 12-month mark, it will get thicker blending with the person’s own natural hair structure.

The only shedding experienced after hair transplantation is a phenomenon called “shock loss”. Shock loss which occurs after about 2 to 4 weeks following the hair transplant procedure, is a result of a short-term trauma occurring in the transplanted hair follicles and scalp after the operation. It is an inevitable process seen after transplantation. This is a normal and temporary condition. Even if the transplanted hair falls out during the phase of shock loss, the follicles are not be damaged and provide the required space for new hair to grow.

Although the majority of hair transplantation patients are still men, a high percentage of women have also started looking into a hair transplant procedure as a hair loss treatment.
Women opt for hair transplantation generally to lower their hairline or to add more volume.
Women are not required to have their heads completely shaved.
To carry out the extraction process only a small area in the donor site is shaved but will remain completely ‘undetectable’.
Women with long hair can easily conceal the donor area with their hair let down and this way, no one will be able to tell that they have undergone a hair transplant procedure.
For this reason hair transplantation is highly favored amongst women.

Generally most patients are able to return to work after 2 days.
Additionally, we recommend patients who are engaged in work activities that may represent risk exposure to dust, sunlight and head injuries, to take one week off from work. You can book your flight 1or 2 days after your hair transplant procedure. Please, bear in mind that the scabs will remain on the transplanted area for around 12-15 days.

The main objective of applying low level laser therapy after hair transplantation is to speed up the healing time, to help reduce side effects such as redness, swelling as well as pain within the operated area and to promote the fastest hair growth possible. As this laser application which is performed after a hair transplant procedure allows to penetrate without heat, it has no side effects such as a burning sensation.

Soft FUE
In the narrowest sense of the term, the soft FUE technique refers to carrying out hair transplantation under sedation.
As the patient will remain awake without feeling any discomfort, he/she will not feel the graft extraction, recipient site creation and transplantation processes.
Soft FUE
- Soft FUE provides high levels of comfort to patients as well as the medical team.
- The patient receiving sedation does not feel any pain during the administration of local anesthesia.
- The patient remains conscious over the course of the procedure.
- The patient is allowed to eat and drink prior to the operation. This does not prevent sedation to be administered.

Follicles for transplanting are harvested from the donor area, which is usually the rear and sides of the head.
This area is also known as the "safe zone".
As the follicles on the sides and back of the head are not affected by the DHT hormone, they are not prone to hair loss.
When hair follicles are extracted from the donor area and transplanted to the areas that need coverage, they will be showing the same bald-resistant traits.
In cases where the donor areas remain weak and insufficient to supply the amount of hair for the transplant, then beard hair can be used as an additional donor resource for the procedure.
Beard grafts remain in the growth (anagen) phase for long periods and after the back of the scalp, are an excellent alternative donor source for hair transplantation.
Beard grafts are known to be thicker than the grafts at the back of the head.
For this reason, to provide better volume in the transplanted area, hair grafts extracted from the beard are transplanted in the top and crown area, but it may not be the best option for front hair restoration.

We advise waiting at least 6-7 months between sessions with 12 months being ideal.
Because in order to create an operation plan for the second hair transplant procedure, the results of the first hair transplant should be seen first.
A one year period is required to achieve maximum growth of the newly transplanted hairs and for all the incision marks to be undetectable.
Hair transplant Turkey
Experience remains a critical determinant of the level of success of a hair transplant procedure.
Hair transplantation in Turkey has been applied for many long years.
Hair transplant procedures are performed by highly trained, qualified and specialized doctors, who have gained extensive knowledge as well as experience in the field of hair transplantation.
This in turn, has enabled to analyze many different cases as well as to perform innumerous hair transplant procedures.
The latest technological advancements taking place in the field of hair transplantation that have been adopted throughout the world are generally pioneered in Turkey. The techniques applied in the clinics correspondingly leads to the necessity of using modern equipment and a concentrated focus on making ongoing improvements in the medical devices utilized for hair transplantation.
In order to provide patients with very natural-looking results, the utilization of new modern equipment and the implementation of advanced techniques are required.
Other reasons that make hair transplant clinics in Turkey so appealing are the high success rates of the procedures, the affordable prices, especially when compared to other countries and the priority given to offer patients the best treatment plan and health care services without compromising on quality.

During your initial consultation, the physician will determine which transplantation method is best for you based on your hair loss classification, the size of the thinning area, quality and quantity of your available donor hair.
For example if the patient has severe hair loss and bald patches are too wide to be covered, even if the patient wants to undergo a one session hair transplant procedure using the DHI method, he/she will be a better candidate for the FUE technique.
The reason for this is that the FUE technique enables to harvest higher amounts of grafts in a single session.
Hair transplant, DHI, Sapphire
- DHI method replicates every step of the FUE method excluding incision and transplantation. In DHI the last two steps are merged into one.
- The major distinctive feature of the DHI method compared to other hair transplant methods is that the DHI technique employs a pen-like medical instrument called "Choi impanter" that creates the recipient sites and simultaneously transplants the grafts.
- FUE method allows to transplant around 3000 to 4500 grafts in a single session, whereas in the DHI technique around 1500 to 2500 follicular unit grafts can be transplanted during a single session.
- DHI method has a faster recovery period and can be performed with less bleeding compared to the FUE method.
- FUE method is ideal for covering larger areas, whereas the DHI method provides a better possibility for achieveing higher density.
- FUE method requires patients to have their heads completely shaved prior to the procedure, whereas the DHI method only requires the donor area to be shaved. This provides a significant advantage for female patients.
- The DHI method requires more skill and experience than other hair transplant methods. This in turn, requires the physicians and medical teams to be exposed to a long-term training period so as to specialize in utilizing this technique.
- DHI hair transplantation is generally a more costly procedure when compared to other hair transplant methods.

When a hair transplantation procedure is performed by an experienced physician and a professional team, the results will ineluctably look natural.
Obtaining natural results from hair transplantation depends on good planning.
Good planning can be accomplished through proper location and design of the hairline, framing the face proportionately.
However, the hair quality of the patient and donor density are also important factors affecting naturalness.
Hair grows at different angles and in different directions.
In order to achieve naturalness, hair transplantation should be performed by taking the growth angle and direction of the existing hair into account.

After one month you can shorten your hair with a scissor or clipper.
We advise you to wait for six months to shave your head with a razor blade.
Hair Treatments, PRP
Hair transplantation supported with PRP enables tissues to heal faster, makes hair follicles remain in the active growth phase for a longer time and helps their adaptation to the transplanted area after the operation.
Platelets are the source of growth factors that has the power to promote hair growth and also thicken your existing hair. Growth factor generates new formation of blood vessels in the transplant area, which in turn,increases the amount of oxygen and nutrients that are delivered to the newly transplanted hair follicles with subcutaneous blood flow.
For this reason, after hair transplantation PRP will be effective in promoting faster hair growth in transplanted follicles.
Hair Treatments, PRP
PRP and Low-Level Laser Therapy are 2 different methods used for the treatment of hair loss. Both methods address hair loss by promoting hair preservation and regrowth. Laser can be applied alone or combined with PRP.
PRP involves taking a small sample of blood and spinning it in a centrifuge to concentrate and separate the platelets and plasma from the other components of your blood, which is then injected back into the body at the injury site.
The role of PRP is to strengthen the hair and prevent hair loss. PRP supported hair transplantation aims to promote and enhance tissue repair as well as stimulate new hair growth after the procedure.
LLLT also known as “cold laser” therapy,involves exposing cells or tissue to low levels of red and near infrared(NIR) light at a wavelength of 670 nanometers.
The main objective of applying low level laser therapy after hair transplantation is to speed up thealing time,to help reduce side effects such as redness,swelling as well as pain within the operated area and to promote the fastest hair growth possible.
Hair Treatments, PRP, Mezotherapy
PRP and Hair Mesotherapy are 2 different methods used for the treatment of hair loss. Both methods address hair loss by promoting hair preservation and regrowth. Mesotherapy is a treatment method which is based on injection of a special combination of specific chemicals, amino acids, vitamins, nucleic acids and coenzymes into the patient's scalp. PRP treatment involves taking a sample of the patient's blood, spinning the sample in a centrifuge and then injecting the concentrated platelet-rich plasma back into the affected site.
In PRP, the concentrated plasma of blood including platelets, growth factors, leukocytes, and cytokine is injected back into the body at the injury site.

Platelet aggregation in PRP treatment is 2 to 4 times higher compared to the platelets in the bloodstream.
Platelets help your body form clots to stop bleeding and recover from injuries.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a source of growth factors that promote wound healing. These growth factors are very important in the repair and regeneration of damaged tissue. PRP contains a concentration of platelets that is significantly greater than that in baseline or peripheral blood. The regenerative properties of the platelets are targeted towards the injury site, which in turn helps to speed up the recovery process.
PRP contains high concentrations of platelets and works by accelerating the body’s own healing process as it addresses the injury site by encouraging the growth of new, healthy cells.
