The first and most important thing to know is that a hair transplant does not create new hair. Instead, it transfers your own hair follicles from the back of your head (donor area), where hair is resistant to hair loss, to bald or thinning areas. When performed successfully, the transplanted hair grows permanently in its new location. The key factors that determine a natural, dense, and permanent result can be explored on our website or by contacting us.

Who Can Get a Hair Transplant?

A hair transplant is suitable for:

• Men experiencing male pattern baldness
• Women with hair thinning and hair loss
• Individuals with scars or burns on the scalp due to accidents or injuries

To determine whether you are a good candidate, we evaluate:

• The size of your bald areas
• The density and thickness of your donor hair (back of the head)
• Your overall health and chronic conditions

While many people qualify for hair transplantation, it is essential to consult an experienced hair transplant doctor to make the final decision.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Hair Transplant Doctor

While many factors affect the final result, the most crucial aspect is entrusting your hair to an experienced, skilled doctor who specializes in hair transplantation.

Additionally, your doctor should be knowledgeable about the latest hair loss treatments to help you protect your existing hair and prevent further hair loss.

Hair Transplant Recovery & Return to Normal Life

FUE hair transplant surgery is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia in a semi-sterile environment. Since no deep incisions are made, and the procedure is performed only on the outermost layer of the skin, patients can walk out and resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.

However, following post-operative instructions carefully is essential for:

• Healthy growth of newly transplanted hair
• Fast healing of the donor area

While returning to daily activities after a hair transplant is quick, it takes up to a year for all transplanted hair to grow fully.

At Dr. Ulusan Clinic, we offer one year of post-transplant follow-ups with a dedicated specialist nurse who will monitor your progress and answer any concerns. You can visit our clinic at any time for a check-up.

It is also important to remember that while transplanted hair is permanent, your existing hair may continue to thin over time. To slow down hair loss, we offer free lifetime consultations. Never apply random treatments you find online without consulting a medical expert.

The Science Behind Hair Transplants

Hair transplantation is based on the principle of donor dominance—meaning that hair follicles from the back of the head retain their genetic resistance to hair loss even when transplanted to bald areas. This natural resistance ensures permanent results.

Hair Transplant Pricing

Hair transplant costs vary based on:

• The clinic’s reputation and experience
• The number of grafts needed
• The technique used (FUE, DHI, Sapphire, etc.)

High-quality clinics focus on precision over volume, limiting the number of daily patients to ensure top-tier results. These clinics invest in experienced nurses, the best equipment, and high medical standards, which reflects in their pricing.

Conversely, low-cost clinics often lack experienced doctors and focus on high patient turnover, leading to rushed procedures and compromised results. Since hair transplants are permanent and donor follicles are limited, choosing a reputable clinic is essential.

At Dr. Ulusan Clinic, we prioritize quality, safety, and natural-looking results, ensuring each patient receives the best care and expertise available.
