Corona

Unfortunately, our everyday life is not like it used to be. That you have concerns about transplantation in Turkey is understandable. Since COVID-19 emerged in Turkey, the Turkish government has implemented strict measures to prevent the spread of the virus. We as the Bank Of Hair team also disinfect all 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 issue.

Hair Transplant

In order for us to determine how useful hair transplantation is for you, it is enough 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. The cause will also be analyzed and in this regard you will be offered the treatment options. Among other things, we also offer hair pigmentation and PRP treatments.

Our goal as Team Bank Of Hair is to create the perfect end result, so that our patients are happy for a lifetime. If the right measures are followed, there is nothing wrong with perfect new hair.

It depends on how large the bald spots are and how many grafts can be harvested and transplanted. Generally, you will have the perfect final result after hair transplantation. Of course, if the affected areas are large, a second transplant may be needed to get the perfect final result and conjure up natural hair.

The grafts are transplanted 1-2 millimeters deep into the skin to develop in it. The most modern techniques such as the DHI method are used to achieve perfect final results.

Thanks to the Comfort-In system, it can be said that the transplantation is quite painless. No needles are used in this process. You will receive 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 transplantation. If the rules are followed by the doctor, there are hardly any risks even after hair transplantation. Infection or failure of the transplanted grafts may occur, but this will only happen if you are not treated by experts or if you do not follow the rules of our expert team.

It depends on the grafts how long the transplantation takes. As a rule, the procedure is expected to take six to eight hours.

During the free consultation, you will be informed about the complete procedure by our experts. First, your hair will be looked at and analyzed in detail by our experts. In this regard, it will then be determined how many grafts will be taken and which method is suitable for your scalp.

Yes, beard hair can also be transplanted to the scalp, as the hair roots adapt. If grafts cannot be harvested from the donor area, i.e. the back of the head, it is possible to harvest beard hair. This is determined by our experts during the consultation interview.

Yes, artificial hair can also be transplanted, but only to smaller bald spots, as the body rejects artificial hair more easily than it does its own hair. Whether this is possible for you, you can make an appointment from one of the seven contact points in Germany. Our experts will analyze this and enlighten you in this regard as well.

Yes, it is possible to transplant hair onto a bald head. If there is no hair at 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

Care should be taken not to take blood thinners for ten days prior to the hair transplant procedure. You will also receive more information about this from our experts during the initial consultation. It is quite sufficient if they would go to one of our contact points in Germany.

FAQ about your trip

It is important that you sleep on your back with the neck pillow we give you for the first five days after the procedure. After the procedure, alcohol must be avoided for 1 week. Over-exertion, such as sexual intercourse, is taboo for the first 14 days after the procedure. Beach, swimming pool, solarium and sauna are prohibited for at least one month. Direct sunlight should also be avoided in the first month. The more protected and adhered to the rules, the more perfect the end result.

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 period, the existing hairs will fall out and grow again.

As a rule, transplanted hair is expected to fall out in the first two to six months – don’t panic! This is quite normal. The transplanted hairs go through different cycles, which last for different lengths of time. In total, these stages last about six months.

Occasionally, our patients feel an itching sensation after hair transplantation. However, this is quite normal as the scalp begins to heal. Please note that despite the itching, do not scratch the recipient area. Overexertion must also be prevented.

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.

We, as Team Bank Of Hair, give our patients a 30-year satisfaction guarantee on the transplanted grafts. You should not be afraid of the transplanted grafts failing again. However, it is quite normal for grafts to fall out during the healing process – don’t panic! After the transplanted grafts fall out, the hair grows back. This is due to the natural growth of hair.

After the procedure we provide our patients with a special hair care set for their transplanted hair free of charge. We also advise you to use only mild products like Mossi to condition and wash your hair. Care must be taken not to irritate your scalp.

The crusts fall off as soon as the wounds of the puncture sites have healed. This happens around the 10th day. The crust protects you from infections. The healing time can also be influenced by you 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

Two different modern methods of hair transplantation are used at Bank Of Hair. The first is the FUE method and the second is the DHI method.

In order to find out whether you are suitable for the FUE method or not, it is useful 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, apart from the FUE method, we have other modern techniques 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 that if you want to combine the stay with a short vacation, to do it before the hair transplantation, because it is important to rest after the procedure. The stay in Istanbul for hair transplantation lasts at least 3 days. Day 1 the arrival whereby on the third day can be departed.
