Many women around the world suffer from female pattern hair loss. It can be incredibly difficult to deal with, especially if they have always had a longer hairstyle that everyone knew them for. This can happen because of genetic factors, a hormonal imbalance, after childbirth or in menopause, or physical stress from wearing tight braids.
It can also be simply due to increased stress or certain medications. Whatever the cause, if you have lost a significant amount of hair or experienced thinning at the crown of the head, getting a hair transplant in Turkey can be a good long-term solution.
One of the main differences between men and women are in the types of hair loss they experience. Men will have a receding hairline that needs to be resculpted and distinct bald patches that have to be filled in. For women, the issue is usually thinned hair on the top of the head, and they want to add more thickness and volume to their look.
Most ladies will also want a subtle hair transplant procedure that can be covered up by existing hair, so the DHI technique is preferred. There are even special unshaven versions where there is minimal disruption to the donor and recipient area, but since the pattern is not as well-defined as in men, it may be more difficult to find and extract enough donor follicles.
Here are a few things that make you a good candidate for a female hair transplant:
However, if you have a more severe case of diffuse hair loss, a diagnosed hormonal imbalance, or alopecia areata brought on by changes due to childbirth, stress, or certain nutrient deficiencies, then a DHI hair transplant is not a viable option.
All the reputable modern clinics offer minimally invasive operations that lead to natural-looking hair growth, with a 95% to 98% success rate. Here is a quick breakdown of the entire process:
Step | Description |
| You can get a free online consultation based on the photos you send or schedule a more detailed in-person examination. |
| The doctor will determine the number of grafts needed and even design a new hairline if needed. |
| The medical team will carefully remove individual hair follicles from the donor area. |
| The grafts are then placed into the recipient area at the proper depth and angle. |
| After the procedure, the doctor will outline a detailed aftercare plan and provide a several-month supply of serum that you will need to apply to let everything heal properly. |
As you can see, everything is streamlined to offer you plenty of comfort and allow you to fit an operation into your schedule.
The price tends to be a bit higher for the more demanding hair transplant techniques. However, they are still much lower in Turkey, at around $2,330 – $2,680 with the maximum available graft count, as opposed to the average of $7,000–$14,000 USD for 2000–3000 grafts in the US.
It’s also worth mentioning that a good hair transplant clinic in Istanbul will also include additional perks in the quoted prices. Here are all the things you get for your money:
When you factor in all these extras, it really is quite a budget-friendly process, especially considering that the results will look incredible and are permanent.
The best thing about getting a specialized hair transplant for women is that there is no need to shave any parts of the head, allowing you to easily cover up initial signs of surgery. As the operation is performed using the latest equipment and making microscopic incisions, there are also very few visible signs to worry about. Apart from some swelling and redness in the first few days and some minor scabs that fall off by the end of the second week, you won’t have anything to worry about, as the surgery leaves no visible scars.
On top of that, you are treated in a high-end medical facility by an experienced team, and get all the advice, medication, and aftercare products you need to ensure a quick and efficient recovery.
Yes, the Long DHI method requires no shaving and is available in certain clinics, but only a skilled hair transplant specialist can handle this more demanding variation with proper care.
You will be able to return to work in just a day or two, but the scalp and the grafts need time to heal properly. The new hair will also start to shed around a month later, so you will need to wait a while for the full results to become visible.
After the initial shedding, the transplanted hair will begin to slowly grow out, but it will be thin, wispy, and lighter in color for another few months. At around 6 to 8 months after the surgery, you will notice the biggest growth spurt, and the hair will get stronger and darker, achieving a fully natural look after about 12–16 months, depending on how long you like it to be.
It depends on the extent of your hair loss, but it usually takes anywhere from 1000 to around 3000 grafts per session to achieve the best results.
