Hair Transplant Clinic Istanbul FUE, DHI, female and beard transplants in 3 days

Both extract grafts one at a time from the donor area. FUE opens channels first and suits large areas and the crown, usually with a full shave. DHI places each graft with a Choi pen and suits hairlines, temples and density between existing hair, with unshaven options. Recovery is similar. Many plans combine both, and your doctor recommends a technique after reviewing your photos.

Ask who plans and supervises your procedure, and where it takes place. Check what the package includes, such as blood tests, medication, the first wash, hotel and transfers. A careful team diagnoses the cause of hair loss first and gives an honest graft estimate. It should also explain aftercare once you are home. Our free review answers these questions before you travel.

Plan 3 days for most hair transplants. Day 1 is arrival and hotel check-in. Day 2 is the consultation, blood tests and procedure, and you return to your hotel that evening. On day 3 the team checks the grafts and carries out the first wash, and most patients fly home the same day. An unshaven DHI session can need one extra day.

Sometimes, yes. Both use grafts from the back of the scalp, so the deciding factor is your donor supply. Beard work usually needs fewer, smaller grafts placed at a flatter angle. If you want both, your doctor balances the grafts between the two areas and tells you whether one trip is realistic. See our beard transplant page for timings.

It can be, when the cause of thinning is diagnosed and the loss is stable and localised. Good examples are a widening parting, temple recession, a high hairline or stable traction alopecia. Diffuse thinning that also affects the donor area usually is not suitable. Blood tests come first, and many women keep their length. See our female hair transplant page.

Age matters less than how stable your hair loss is. If you are in your early twenties and still losing hair quickly, it is often better to wait. The cause of thinning should be diagnosed first, for example thyroid problems, low iron or alopecia areata. Your doctor may also discuss finasteride or minoxidil to protect your existing hair.

Redness and crusts usually clear within 10–14 days. Shedding of the transplanted hairs between weeks 2 and 8 is normal. New growth starts around months 3–4, and density improves by months 6–9. The final scalp result takes 12–18 months, and the crown often matures last. Beard transplants usually settle sooner, at around 9–12 months. Transplanted follicles usually keep growing long term.
