Hair transplant clinics in Turkey perform ten times more operations than their counterparts in Europe or America. Other sub-sectors serving hair transplant surgeons have been highly developed over the years. Beard transplant prices in Turkey correspond to one-quarter of the USA, Canada and Gulf countries and one third of Europe.
Additionally, Istanbul is one of the most important tourism destinations. Therefore, it offers sightseeing and cultural trip opportunities for patients.
All-inclusive beard transplantation packages prevent patients from dealing with other unnecessary work (accommodation, transfer, etc.) and allow them to concentrate on their treatments.
Beard transplantation follows the same principles as hair transplantation. This involves extracting the bulbs from the donor area (back area of the hair) and then grafting them into thinned areas, in this case, the beard.
The first step is to extract the follicles. During this step, performed under local anesthesia, we extract the follicles from the donor area, which is the crown.
The doctors prefer the extraction from this area because the follicles of the hypo critic crown are not damaged by hormonal disorders and remain intact by keeping their density. The extracted follicles are kept in a special thermal solution at a specific temperature.
The second step is the most important involving the transplant process. The doctor opens tiny holes on the scalp.
This step is very delicate and decisive. Therefore, it should be performed by an experienced and certified surgeon.
For the best result, each hole should match the angle and depth of the patient’s natural hair growth line.
The third and final step is placing the grafts into the holes. Once the transplant is complete, the donor area will be covered to prevent swelling.
The patient should follow the post-operative instructions and can return home safely.
The procedure lasts between 6 and 8 hours. Each step takes about 2 hours.
The patient will be clearly informed about after care. We also set up personalized follow-up for each patient with our customer service. The country manager will be at your disposal for all necessary information.
Recovery from FUE surgery is faster and completely painless.
It heals within ten to fifteen days, and all remaining crusts fall off during this period.
Correct and good recovery firstly depends on the hair wash. For this reason, it is important that the hair wash is done properly, and that you do not skip any steps.
The hair wash products will be provided in the clinic. The foam is applied directly to the planted areas and left on the head for 30 minutes, then the shampoo is applied directly on the foam and rinsed with warm water, never using a direct jet such as a shower.
It is preferable to pour the water into a container and then gently pour it over the hair. Do not rub vigorously, massage gently with your fingertips and rinse.
These washes should be repeated every day. The first wash will be done 48 hours after the operation. It should be done correctly so that the crusts can shed within fifteen days, and allow the scalp to grow new hair.
When the crusts are left longer, it will block the outflow of hair resulting in negative consequences. The hair will decrease in number and become less thick.
The donor area will have redness for the first few days, but in most cases, it disappears with repeated hair regrowth within a few weeks.
Although rare, the redness may persist longer, and the hair may take longer to grow. In these cases, you need to be patient, and the donor area will be back to normal in a few months.
In these cases, natural aloe vera can be applied to relieve redness and itching. If the doctor finds it necessary, cutaneous minoxidil can be applied to stimulate hair growth.
After washing for fifteen days, the crusts will fall off, and the hair will begin to grow.
Hair will grow up in one to two months and then fall out, this stage is called SHOCK LOSS. Shock shedding affects 95% of patients. This happens because the first hairs are the weakest and easily fall off.
Hair will grow back in three to four months during the first year.
Although it varies from patient to patient, it is possible to see the first results following six to eight months.
For 100% results, it is necessary to be patient and wait until twelve to eighteen months.
After care should be coupled with quality products and a healthy diet.
Not every patient should be on medication for life after surgery, but each patient should be evaluated by the doctor.
In most cases, the doctors recommend additional supplements (not drugs). These supplements are useful for good hair care and prevent a possible loss of hair. These supplements are biotin, green tea, folic acid, ginseng, and zinc.
Beard transplantation follows the same principles as hair transplantation. This involves extracting the bulbs from the donor area (back area of the hair) and then grafting them into thinned areas, in this case, the beard.
No, FUE beard transplant is not painful, it is painless. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and the patient does not feel any pain.
No, beard transplantation is a safe procedure. We do not use any chemical additives during the operation.
Beard transplantation is a safe and effective operation. The success rate of the FUE transplant is about 95%. The risk of failure is almost non-existent.
The duration of the beard transplant depends on the condition of the patient and the number of grafts to be transplanted. Generally, the operation lasts between six to eight hours.
After a week, there won’t be any visible scar, and no one can say that you have undergone a hair transplant. The patient can resume his daily life.
Beard transplantation consists of extracting follicles from the donor area like the back area of the neck. The number of bulbs is always subjective and varies in line with the patient’s medical condition. For beard transplantation, generally, the grafting of approximately 2,000 / 3,000 bulbs is sufficient. If the transplant only affects the whisker area, the number of bulbs required is approximately 400-800. However, each case requires a different number of bulbs, for example a patient with a totally absent beard will require many more bulbs than a patient who needs to fill only some empty “spots”.
The risks are almost none. Usually, these are postoperative infections. The patient is recommended to properly apply postoperative hair care to prevent any infections.
Yes, beard transplantation can be performed in case of alopecia, scars and burns. The surgeon will decide on the treatment strategy based on the patient’s condition. In cases of scars or burns of great intensity, the transplant may NOT deliver 100% of satisfactory result. Usually the success rate is 50%, as some bulbs may not get rooted.
Yes, technically it is possible to transplant hair into the beard area. However, the quality mismatch between the two hair types will remain.
It is recommended to resume sports activities after a month following the hair transplantation.
You need to wait at least a month to swim following the operation. It is even better to wait more than a month to avoid any risk of infection.
It is recommended to avoid sexual intercourse in the first days or even the first week. Sexual intercourse can cause bleeding.
Patients can return to work after a week following the procedure.
Hair growth should begin in the third month. In this period, permanent regrowth will begin to appear. The growth continues for the next twelve months. It is necessary to wait at least eighteen months for a final result.
