Is a hair transplant for women a temporary or permanent solution?
A hair transplant offers a permanent solution. The transplanted grafts come from your donor area, which is not genetically susceptible to hair loss. However, it is crucial that the underlying cause of your hair loss is identified and addressed to ensure the effectiveness of the transplant.
Are all women suitable for a hair transplant?
Not every woman is suitable for a hair transplant. During a consultation with our hair specialists, we assess your situation. Some forms of alopecia, such as alopecia areata, make a hair transplant less effective or even unsuitable.
What are the causes of hair loss in women?
Androgenetic alopecia, in which the hair thins, is a common cause. This is a hereditary condition. Other causes include medication use, hormonal changes, stress, or vitamin deficiency.
May I get a haircut prior to treatment?
We recommend that you grow your hair before treatment. This helps our team properly assess your natural hairline and hair growth direction, which is essential for a successful transplant.
Can I feel pain during the hair transplant?
We use a dermojet for anesthesia, a needleless method. This approach minimizes pain, so most patients experience only mild pressure during the procedure.
Should my hair be shaved before a hair transplant?
In men it is common to shave the hair, but in women this is not always necessary. You can choose to have only part of the donor area or nothing shaved, which is a comfortable option especially for women with longer hair.
Should I shave my hair myself before treatment?
You do not need to shave your hair yourself; this is professionally done prior to the treatment to ensure optimal results.
Why are photos taken during my consultation?
Photos help us create a personalized treatment plan. Our specialists in Istanbul use them to assess your current situation and provide customized advice.
Can you also perform a corrective hair transplant?
Absolutely. If you are not satisfied with a previous hair transplant, we can perform corrective surgery. This includes repairing unnatural hairlines or improving density.
Will my hair transplant be covered by insurance?
Hair transplants are usually not covered by insurance as they are often undergone for cosmetic reasons. This applies to both male and female transplants.
May I use lotions and medications for hair loss prior to treatment?
It is recommended to stop using lotions or medications for hair loss at least three days before treatment. This ensures that the transplant takes place under optimal conditions.
