Our Gold Clinic Turkey in Turkey has a solid reputation for providing superior service and a proven track record of successful hair transplants and hair regrowth with our clients.

For women the most effective and natural looking hair transplant is Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE. It’s a life-changing hair loss treatment that many women are choosing to replenish and regrow their hair. FUE hair transplantation technique is popular with women and men because it delivers permanent results and is highly successful.

FUE hair transplants for females have many benefits — most importantly your hair will regain its volume and look absolutely natural. Follicular Unit Extraction technique ensures transplanted hairs grow normally alongside your scalp’s natural hair growth pattern. After a FUE treatment you can wear your hair in any style without worrying about visible scarring. FUE is performed under local anaesthetic and can be completed in a day; there are no scalpels involved, no sutures or staples, and no linear scarring. FUE is a minimally invasive hair transplant treatment that involves no downtime.          

The sooner you take action, the more likely you are to prevent further hair loss.

Causes of Female Hair Loss

Baldness and hair loss is typically considered a man’s problem; however, hair loss can affect anyone, regardless of their gender. Unfortunately, more than 50% of females will experience significant and visible hair loss in their lifetime. Female hair loss takes on many forms like shedding, progressive thinning, and bald patches. The most common cause of hair loss is female pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). Other types of hair loss females experience include: diffuse hair loss (chronic telogen effluvium), severe stress (telogen effluvium), alopecia areata, traction alopecia, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).  

The extent of hair loss will vary from person to person; here are some factors that can influence female hair loss.

  • Hormonal imbalance: pregnancy and menopause are often associated with hair loss
  • Stress: significant physical/emotional stress has been linked to hair loss
  • Diet: deficiencies in nutrients can affect hair health
  • Vitamin deficiency: low levels of certain vitamins can affect hair loss  
  • Genetics: studies indicate connection to female pattern baldness  
  • Medications: hair loss can be a rare medication side effect; however, a variety of drugs may contribute, including oral birth control  
  • Ageing: women over 40 tend to experience increased hair loss  
  • Hairstyle: some chemical hair treatments and hairstyles may contribute to hair loss

TREATMENT PLAN

The arrival day 

  • Our guests who come to Istanbul for treatment are met at the airport by our welcoming team and placed in our hotel.

The operation day 

  • We kindly ask you to wake up early in the morning and then wait in the hotel lobby after having breakfast. Never drink coffee while having breakfast.
  • Our VIP vehicle will pick you up from our hotel at 08:30 in the morning and bring you to our

clinic.

  • When arriving at our clinic, you will first fill some documents to make a registration (a copy

of the patient’s passport is compulsory).

  • According to our clinic’s protocol and for the sake of our patients’ health, some necessary

tests will be made to make sure that the patient has no health issues.

  • After that the patient’s hairline is determined in consultation with the doctor. The person’s

face shape, age and gender are primary factors determining the shape of the new hairline.

  • The dents and ridges, the natural direction of hair growth, the patient’s expectations and

whether the hair loss is ongoing or not must be also taken into consideration.

  • Pictures are taken in order to compare before and after states. Then, the entire hairy

area is trimmed to number 1 and the area to be transplanted is planned.

  • The donor area (the area from which hair grafts will be extracted) is locally anesthetized

without a needle.

  • After extracting a maximum number of grafts we keep them in a special solution. Although

the number of grafts to be extracted can vary this process takes an average of 1 to 2

hours.

  • Once hair grafts’ extraction is finished, both the patient and the doctors take a lunch break.
  • Then the procedure is resumed and the hair transplantation begins in the areas where

channels have been opened. Normally this process takes between 3 and 5 hours

depending on the person’s case.

  • While the channels are still opened, the patient will get a Platelet -Rich Plasma injection to

promote the implanted area.

  • After the hair transplantation is completed, the donor area is covered with a dressing and

the patient is given all the medications as well as the medical instructions to be followed

after the treatment.

  • Our VIP vehicle takes the patient back to the hotel

The day after the surgery  

  • This day is devoted for rest. Patients can go out on the condition that they don’t make any excessive physical activity.

The final day 

  • On this day hair washing will be done according to the time of the patient’s return ticket. (Your medical assistant will inform you about the schedule).
  • After that, our VIP vehicle will drop you off to the airport.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How will my hair look like?  

The hair will never be in the same condition as before the hair loss. Because all the hair taken by the methods of hair transplantation from the donor area is used to cover a much larger gap. As the area grows, the density of the hair in each cm2 is decreasing. The open area would be more dense when it is small, and it would be less dense when it is wide.

Is there any side effects?

There are no side effects or complications of hair transplant which will not cause any trouble to the patient in the future.

How long does the transplanted hair live? 

As the harvested hair is taken from the hair between the ears to the back side of the head that has a different gene code (non-loss) , it will remain in its new place for A LIFE TIME.

Does the transplanted hair grows longer? 

After the transplant, the hair start to grow within after three months looking like a beard, after a while it gains shape and gets the image of a natural normal hair.

Do some cosmetic products make hair grow thicker and faster? 

The best thing to expect from a cosmetic product is the feeling that your hair is healthier. Some products seem to slow hair loss, but this is temporary.

After this procedure, will there be swelling on the face? 

Yes, therecan be a %10-15 swelling, but we have not seen such a complication yet due to the treatments we are performing after the procedure.

Does it look natural? Does it seem obvious that the hair is implanted? 

With the development of implanting techniques, transplanted hair seems very natural nowadays. The dark days of hair transplantation, which hair does not look natural at all after using the follicular unit transplantation, are long gone.

Will there be swelling and/or bruising? 

Due to the anesthesia applied on the scalp, some patients may experience swelling for a few days after the procedure. However, with a few simple measures and treatments, this can be inhibited greatly.

How often does hair loss occur? 

Hair loss is a problem that can be seen both in men and women; but mostly in men. At age 25, 25% of men start to experience hair loss bit by bit. This proportion goes up to 50% among men aged 50 years.

Will there be traces of the operation on the nape and in the planted area? 

Since the whole procedure is performed with micro fine work and our channeling technique does not cause tissue damage, there are no traces in the hundreds of hair transplant examples performed in our clinic.

Does the transplanted hair require special care or regular check ups? 

No. Since that hair is also your own hair, IT DOES NOT NEED ANY SPECIAL CARE. However you cut, shape, dye, perm and clean your hair to this day, you can continue to do the same.
