Patient questions
The questions we hear most in consultations and examinations. We answer each as general information, with its limits; the answer for you becomes clear in the examination.
Before a hair transplant
-
Patient questions
What questions should you ask when choosing a hair transplant clinic?
Getting clear answers to a few basic questions lets you compare your options by the same criteria. We explain which questions you can ask, from the examination to follow-up, and why they matter.
-
Patient questions
Can you have a hair transplant if you have diabetes, high blood pressure or hepatitis?
A chronic illness does not automatically rule out a hair transplant; what matters is whether the condition is under control and what the doctor who treats you thinks. We explain how diabetes, high blood pressure and blood-borne infections affect the procedure.
-
Patient questions
Who should not have a hair transplant? When it may not be suitable
A hair transplant has two basic requirements: enough healthy hair in the donor area, and skin in the thinning area that can nourish the transplanted grafts. We explain when a transplant may not be suitable, and when it is better to postpone it or take a different approach.
-
Patient questions
What should you keep in mind before a hair transplant?
Preparing for a hair transplant starts with telling us about every medicine and supplement you take and following your written preparation instructions. We explain why medicines, supplements, smoking and alcohol matter, and what you should not change on your own.
Procedure day
-
Patient questions
Does a hair transplant hurt? What do you feel during and after the procedure?
During a hair transplant, most patients are awake throughout, and the area is numbed with local anesthesia. We explain what you may feel while the anesthetic is given, during the transplant and in the days after, why this varies from person to person, and how pain is managed.
-
Patient questions
How long does a hair transplant take? What happens on the day of the procedure?
A hair transplant often takes up most of the day. We explain what determines how long it takes, what steps the day of the procedure involves, and how you can prepare for it.
Recovery and aftercare
-
Patient questions
Itching, redness and pimples after a hair transplant: What is normal?
In the weeks after a hair transplant, mild itching, redness and small pimples are common and often go away on their own. We explain why they happen, what you should watch out for and which signs may point to an infection.
-
Patient questions
When can I return to work after a hair transplant? What changes depending on your job?
Someone who works at a desk and someone who wears a helmet or lifts heavy loads do not plan their return to work in the same way. We explain the factors that determine the timing, the general stages and what to keep in mind at work.
Results and expectations
-
Patient questions
Do you need a second hair transplant session?
Not everyone needs a second hair transplant session. We explain when one comes up, why there is a wait between two sessions, and how we make this decision.
-
Patient questions
Does a hair transplant look natural? Will people be able to tell?
A hair transplant can look natural, but this is not a result that can be promised in advance. We explain what determines how it looks, what varies from person to person, and why the transplant may be noticeable while you heal.
-
Patient questions
Does a hair transplant leave scars, and will they show?
A hair transplant leaves small scars at the points where the grafts are taken. We explain where these scars are, when they can be noticed, how FUE and FUT differ, and what we pay attention to if you tend to form raised scars.
-
Patient questions
Is a hair transplant permanent? Can transplanted hair fall out?
Because transplanted hair is taken from areas that are more resistant to hair loss, it usually keeps growing in its new place too. A hair transplant does not, however, stop your hair loss. We explain what may change over the years in the transplanted hair and in the hair that was not transplanted.
Hair loss
-
Patient questions
Do hair vitamins and biotin help with hair loss?
When hair loss starts, hair vitamins are often the first thing that comes to mind. We explain what is known about biotin, which deficiencies are checked with tests, and why you should tell your doctor before a test if you take it.
Daily life
-
Patient questions
Which season should you choose for a hair transplant? Summer or winter?
There is no single season for a hair transplant that suits everyone; the season mainly affects your daily life in the weeks after the procedure. We explain what to keep in mind in summer and in winter, and how you can choose a date around your work and social calendar.
-
Patient questions
How do you perform wudu and pray after a hair transplant?
In the first few days after a hair transplant, water and friction on the recipient area during wudu, and ruku and sujood during prayer, call for care. We explain the medical side and show you who to ask about the religious questions.
-
Patient questions
When can you exercise, swim or go to a Turkish bath after a hair transplant?
After a hair transplant, you return to exercise step by step, while pools, the sea, saunas and Turkish baths have to wait until the recipient area has healed. We explain why you need to wait, the general order by activity, and what to keep in mind when you start again.
