Corona
Unfortunately, our everyday life is no longer the way it used to be. It is understandable that you have concerns about transplantation in Turkey. Since COVID-19 appeared in Turkey, the Turkish government has introduced strict measures to prevent the spread of the virus. We as Team Bank Of Hair therefore also disinfect all of the treatment rooms and operating rooms every 10 hours by trained cleaning staff. Detailed care is taken to ensure that everything is hygienic and that our patients feel comfortable. You can contact us at any time regarding any issues.
Hair transplantation
In order for us to determine how useful a hair transplant is for you, it is sufficient to make an appointment with us so that our experts can also analyze in detail how advanced your hair loss is and whether it makes sense to have a hair transplant performed. The cause will also be analyzed and you will be offered treatment options. Among other things, we also offer hair pigmentation and PRP treatments.
Our goal as Team Bank Of Hair is to achieve the perfect end result so that our patients are happy for a lifetime. If the right measures are taken, nothing speaks against perfect new hair.
It depends on how large the bald patches are and how many grafts can be removed and transplanted. In general, you will have the perfect end result after a hair transplant. Of course, if the affected areas are large, a second transplant may be necessary to achieve the perfect end result and conjure up natural hair.
The grafts are transplanted 1-2 millimeters deep into the skin in order to develop. The most modern techniques such as the DHI method are used to achieve perfect end results.
Thanks to the Comfort-In system, the transplant is completely painless. No needles are used. You will be given a local anesthetic during the procedure.
Since local anesthesia is used during the procedure and not general anesthesia, there are hardly any risks during the transplant. If the rules are followed by the doctor, there are hardly any risks even after the hair transplant. Infections or failure of the transplanted grafts can occur, but this only happens if you are not treated by experts or if you do not follow the rules of our expert team.
How long the transplant takes depends on the grafts. As a rule, it is assumed that the procedure takes six to eight hours.
During the free consultation, our experts will explain the entire process to you. First, your hair will be examined and analyzed in detail by our experts. They will then determine how many grafts will be removed and which method is suitable for your scalp.
Yes, beard hair can also be transplanted onto the scalp, as the hair roots adapt. If no grafts can be harvested from the donor area, i.e. the back of the head, it is certainly possible to harvest beard hair. This will be determined by our experts during the consultation.
Yes, artificial hair can also be transplanted, but only to smaller bald patches, as the body rejects artificial hair more easily than it does its own hair. You can make an appointment at one of the seven contact points in Germany to find out whether this is possible for you. Our experts will analyze this and provide you with further information.
Yes, it is possible to transplant hair onto a bald head. If there is no hair on the back of the head, it is also possible to take grafts from the breast or beard. It is also possible to simulate baldness with hair pigmentation.
Before the hair transplant
Before the hair transplant, care should be taken to ensure that no blood thinners are taken ten days before the procedure. You will also receive more information on this from our experts during your initial consultation. All you need to do is go to one of our contact points in Germany.
FAQ about your trip
It is important that you sleep on your back for the first five days after the procedure with the neck pillow you receive from us. Alcohol must be avoided for 1 week after the procedure. Overexertion such as sexual intercourse is taboo for the first 14 days after the procedure. The beach, swimming pool, solarium and sauna are prohibited for at least one month. Direct sunlight should also be avoided for the first month. The more protection is taken and the rules are adhered to, the more perfect the end result will be.
After the procedure we will give you painkillers, antibiotics and anti-swelling tablets.
The transplanted grafts must first heal completely and develop properly. This process can take up to five months. During this time, the existing hair will fall out and grow again.
It is generally assumed that the transplanted hair will fall out in the first two to six months – don’t panic! This is completely normal. The transplanted hair goes through different cycles, which last for different lengths of time. In total, these stages last around six months.
Occasionally, our patients experience itching after the hair transplant. However, this is completely normal as the scalp begins to heal. Please note that despite the itching, the recipient area must not be scratched. Overexertion must also be avoided.
If you are not satisfied with the final result, there is a chance to improve the final result with the hair pigmentation method or with PRP treatments the final result can be improved even more.
As Team Bank Of Hair, we give our patients a 30-year satisfaction guarantee on the transplanted grafts. You should not be afraid that the transplanted grafts will fall out again. However, it is quite normal for grafts to fall out during the healing process – don’t panic! After the transplanted grafts have fallen out, the hair will grow back. This is due to natural hair growth.
We provide our patients with a special care set for their transplanted hair free of charge after the procedure. We also advise you to use only mild products such as Mossi to care for and wash your hair. Care must be taken not to irritate your scalp.
The crusts fall off as soon as the wounds at the puncture sites have healed. This happens around the 10th day. The scabs protect you from infection. You can also influence the healing time by following the advice of the experts.
Since the grafts are taken from the back of the head and these hairs do not fall out genetically, it can be assumed that these hairs will accompany you for life.
Methods
Bank Of Hair uses two different modern methods for hair transplantation. The first is the FUE method and the second is the DHI method.
To find out whether you are suitable for the FUE method or not, it makes sense to come to one of our clinics so that your hair can be analyzed in detail. It is not often that our patients are not suitable for the FUE method. If this is the case, we have other modern techniques apart from the FUE method to perform the transplantation.
Stay in Turkey
The majority of patients combine their stay in the metropolis of Istanbul with a short vacation. We advise you that if you want to combine your stay with a short vacation, you should do this before the hair transplant, as it is important to rest after the procedure. The stay in Istanbul for the hair transplant takes at least 3 days. Day 1 is the arrival day and you can leave on the third day.
