Mediglobe collaborates with hospitals in Turkey for Hair Transplant Surgery.

Hair loss affects a significant proportion of the population, with estimates suggesting that 85% of men and 50% of women will experience hair loss in their lifetime.  This number includes various forms of hair loss, including male and female pattern baldness. For men, a common type of hair loss is where hair thins or disappears from the scalp, often starting with a receding hairline. By age 50, approximately 85% of men have experienced significant thinning. For women, while less common than in men, female pattern baldness can affect up to 50% of women, often with thinning occurring around the front or top of the head. This has led many to seek solutions like hair transplant surgery. This procedure has gained popularity due to its effectiveness in restoring natural-looking hair. If you’re considering a hair transplant, this guide will cover everything you need to know, from the types of procedures to recovery and results. Therefore, Mediglobe recommends affordable, high-quality treatments. Moreover, Mediglobe is in cooperation with hospitals in Turkey that work to European and American standards and have accreditation.

What is a Hair Transplant?

A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that moves hair follicles from a dense area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) to thinning or balding areas. The transplanted hair grows naturally, providing a permanent solution to hair loss. Mediglobe recommends you a Hair Transplant Surgery package according to your needs.

Types of Hair Transplant techniques:

1. Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)

• Also known as the “strip method.”
• A strip of scalp is removed from the donor area, and individual follicular units are extracted and transplanted.
• Leaves a linear scar but allows for a large number of grafts in one session.

2. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)

• Individual hair follicles are extracted directly from the donor area using a micro-punch tool.
• No linear scar—only tiny dot scars that fade over time.
• Less invasive with a quicker recovery than FUT.

3. Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)

• A modified FUE technique where follicles are implanted directly using a specialised tool.
• No need for pre-made incisions, leading to higher graft survival rates.

Who is a good candidate for a Hair Transplant Surgery?

Ideal candidates for a hair transplant are those who:

• have sufficient donor hair (back/sides of the scalp).
• Experience male/female pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia).
• Have stable hair loss (not rapidly progressing).
• Are in good overall health.

The Hair Transplant procedure: Step-by-Step

• Consultation: A surgeon assesses hair loss and determines the best technique.
• Donor Area Preparation: The donor area is trimmed and numbed with local anaesthesia.
• Graft Extraction: Follicles are harvested via FUT or FUE.
• Recipient Site Creation: Tiny incisions are made in the balding area.
• Graft Implantation: Extracted follicles are placed into the recipient sites.
• Post-Op Care: Bandages are applied, and aftercare instructions are given.

Mediglobe collaborates modern hospitals with Turkey, experienced specialists, and recommend personalised treatment plans.

What is the recovery time and results like for a hair transplant?

• First Few Days: Mild swelling, redness, and scabbing.
• 1-2 Weeks: Transplanted hairs shed (normal part of the process).
• 3-6 Months: New hair starts growing.
• 12+ Months: Full, natural-looking results appear.

What is the potential risks & side effects for a hair transplant?

• Temporary numbness, itching, or swelling.
