Hair transplantation provides a long-lasting solution for thinning hair. The results of hair transplants are typically permanent. The hair follicles transplanted are resistant to hair loss and are expected to grow for a lifetime. This procedure involves carefully extracting hair follicles from the sides or back of the scalp, areas known for their resistance to baldness, and transplanting them to areas experiencing hair thinning or balding. Once the transplanted hair starts to grow, it should continue to grow for the rest of your life.

The regrowth of hair in the donor area depends on the technique used. In the FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) technique, where entire hair follicles and surrounding cells are removed in strips, hair regrowth in these strips is not possible. Regrowth can only occur in areas where follicles were selectively removed. Hair is expected to grow back around the incision and, in some cases, within the incision once the scar has healed. This is why surgeons aim to keep donor scars as thin as possible. In most cases, hair follicles are harvested from areas with dense hair, making the loss barely noticeable. The remaining hair usually conceals donor spots effectively. Modern techniques like FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) involve removing follicles in smaller, individual batches rather than strips. This results in less scarring and keeps donor areas almost invisible and unnoticeable.

The failure rate for hair transplants is low, with only 4.8% of patients expressing psychological dissatisfaction with the results. This means that even if the technical success rate is near perfect, a small percentage of patients may still feel unsatisfied with their outcome.

Hair transplant surgeries, being surgical procedures, can cause some level of discomfort or minor pain. To minimize pain during and after the treatment, various techniques and advancements are available. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) are two well-known methods that are considered to be significantly less painful. It's important to note that pain tolerance varies from person to person, so while one individual might find the procedure almost painless, it could still be challenging for others.

Turkey is considered as safe, if not safer, than many other major tourist destinations. Despite being bordered by conflict zones, Turkey has implemented extensive security measures to protect both its citizens and visitors. As the 6th most popular tourism center in the world in 2014, Turkey continues to see a rise in both cultural and medical tourists each year. Travelers explore various cities by foot, bicycle, motorbike, and other means of transportation. As a law-abiding state, Turkey works diligently to ensure the safety and security of all tourists within its borders.

Unlike some other hair transplantation methods, DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) usually does not require a full shave of the recipient area. One of the advantages often associated with DHI is the ability to avoid extensive shaving. However, it's important to note that the amount of shaving required can vary based on factors such as the number of grafts being transplanted and the density of the existing hair. For optimal placement, it may still be necessary to shave a small portion of the recipient area.

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) tends to be more expensive due to several factors. The procedure involves the use of a specialized tool called a Choi pen or implanter pen, which allows for the extraction of individual hair follicles from the donor area and their direct implantation into the recipient area. This precise control over the angle, direction, and depth of hair insertion often results in higher graft success rates and improved overall aesthetics. During DHI, each hair strand is meticulously transplanted into the thinning area using the Choi pen. The costs are higher because of the following reasons:

• Specialized Equipment: The Choi pen is a specialized and costly tool required for the procedure.
• Expertise: The procedure demands a highly skilled and specially trained team to perform the transplantation effectively.
• Tailored Solution: DHI provides a more personalized and precise approach, which contributes to the higher costs.

These factors contribute to the overall increased expense of the DHI procedure compared to other hair transplant methods.
