FAQ

1. WHY TURKEY?

Istanbul is the most popular destination for hair transplants in the world. Doctors in Turkey have specialised in hair transplants for over 25 years. The reasons why Istanbul and Turkey are so popular is simple – the best specialists at a reasonable price. There are a number of reasons why prices in Turkey are more affordable than Australia – a highly competitive market, favourable exchange rates, and government incentives for health tourism, which is a major industry in Turkey. We are based in Istanbul. This allows us to screen the best providers and simplify the process for you.

2. HOW DOES A HAIR TRANSPLANT WORK?

There are a number of different technologies that are available for hair transplants. The most common methods are FUE, DHI and FUT. While these techniques vary, the principle is the same. You would have seen men who have lost all their hair, aside from the back and sides before. This area is not affected by male pattern baldness. This area, known as the donor area, is where the follicles are removed and regrafted to the top and front of your head.

3. HOW LONG DOES A TRANSPLANT LAST?

The best thing about a hair transplant is that the hair will never fall out. It seems strange but it’s true. The hair from the sides and back of the hair – the donor area – will never fall out. Because of something known as donor dominance, when the hair from your donor area is implanted in the recipient site, it is not affected by hormonal or genetic factors that caused you to start losing your hair.
