FAQ
How much is a hair transplant in Turkey?

Hair transplant costs in Turkey commonly range between €3,900 and €4,750, depending on the clinic, technique, and the size of the area being treated.

When comparing options, confirm what is included (medical team involvement, accommodation, transfers, medications, and aftercare) and whether there is a graft cap.

What is a hair transplant?

A hair transplant is a medical procedure where hair follicles are taken from a donor area (often the back of the scalp) and implanted into thinning or balding areas.

The goal is to improve density and design a natural‑looking hairline. Suitability depends on donor capacity, hair loss pattern, and medical evaluation.

How does hair transplant work?

The procedure has two main stages: extraction and implantation. In extraction, follicles are removed from the donor area (commonly using FUE). In implantation, grafts are placed with attention to angle, depth, and distribution.

After healing, most patients experience an initial shedding period, followed by new growth that develops over several months.

How long does a hair transplant last?

Transplanted follicles are typically taken from areas that are more resistant to pattern hair loss, so results are often long‑lasting.

However, non‑transplanted (native) hair may continue to thin over time. Long‑term planning and realistic expectations are important.

Is hair transplant permanent?

In many cases, transplanted hair is long‑lasting because donor follicles tend to be more resistant to genetic hair loss.

That said, outcomes vary, and other areas of the scalp may continue to thin. Your doctor can advise on long‑term management based on your pattern of hair loss.

Does insurance cover hair transplant?

In most cases, no. Hair transplants are generally considered elective procedures and are not covered by standard health insurance.

Always confirm coverage details directly with your insurer, as policies vary by country and provider.

Is hair transplant painful? / Does hair transplant hurt?

Hair transplantation is usually performed under local anaesthesia, so sharp pain during the procedure is uncommon. Patients often describe pressure or mild discomfort rather than pain.

After the procedure, temporary soreness, swelling, or tightness can occur and is typically managed with prescribed guidance.

How much does hair transplant cost in the USA?

In the United States, hair transplant procedures often range from $10,000 to $20,000+, depending on the clinic, location, technique, and case complexity.

Costs may be higher due to clinical overhead and regional pricing differences.

Can you wear a hat after hair transplant?

In the first days, it is usually advised to avoid friction or pressure on the grafts. Some clinics allow a loose protective cap early on, but regular hats are often delayed until the grafts are more secure (commonly around 10–14 days).

Always follow your clinic’s specific aftercare instructions, as timelines vary by technique and healing response.

Why do people go to Turkey for hair transplant?

Many patients choose Turkey for hair restoration due to the availability of experienced medical teams, established clinics, and package models that can simplify travel logistics.

As with any country, quality varies between providers, so clinic selection, licensing, and doctor involvement matter.

Is hair transplant safe?

When performed by qualified clinicians in a licensed medical setting with proper protocols, hair transplantation is generally considered a safe procedure.

As with any procedure, risks exist (such as temporary redness, swelling, or infection). Choosing a regulated provider and following aftercare reduces avoidable risk.

How to sleep after hair transplant?

Many clinics recommend sleeping on your back with your head slightly elevated for the first 7–10 days to reduce swelling and avoid rubbing the grafts.

Your clinic may provide a neck pillow or positioning guidance based on your case.

How long does a hair transplant take to heal?

Initial healing (scabs, redness, and tenderness) often improves within 10–14 days. Many patients return to routine daily activities within about a week.

Hair growth follows a cycle: early shedding can occur, new growth commonly starts around 3 months, and maturation continues up to 12 months or longer.

Is a hair transplant worth it?

For many patients, a hair transplant can be a long‑lasting way to improve density and hairline appearance, often with a positive impact on confidence.

It is most worthwhile when expectations are realistic and the plan respects donor limits and long‑term hair loss progression.

How long after hair transplant can I wear a hat?

Many patients wait until the grafts are more secure before wearing a regular hat, which is commonly around two weeks. Some clinics may allow a loose protective cap earlier.

Follow the exact timeline provided in your aftercare plan.

Does hair transplant last forever?

Transplanted hair is often long‑lasting because donor follicles are typically more resistant to genetic hair loss.

However, native hair may still thin over time. A well‑designed plan considers future changes to maintain a natural look.

What is DHI hair transplant?

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) places follicles using an implanter pen. This can help control angle and depth in appropriate candidates.

The best technique depends on your donor capacity, hair characteristics, and the clinical plan.

Is stem cell hair transplant permanent?

Stem cell–based approaches for hair restoration are still considered investigational in many settings. The long‑term evidence is not as established as surgical techniques such as FUE or DHI.

If you are considering any regenerative therapy, discuss the current evidence, risks, and realistic expectations with a qualified clinician.

Post-Hair Transplant Care

L’Oréal Kérastase: Premium Hair Care After Transplant


Aftercare is part of the outcome. Healing and the cosmetic result depend on protecting the grafts, gentle cleansing, and following your personalised instructions.


Some patients use professional hair‑care products such as L’Oréal Kérastase after the initial healing period, if and when recommended by the team. These products may help maintain scalp comfort and reduce mechanical damage to native hair.


Product selection and timing should follow your post‑operative protocol. If you experience sensitivity, itching, or unusual redness, contact your clinic for guidance.
