Choosing the best clinic for a hair transplant in Turkey

For those for whom hair loss or alopecia a concern, a possible solution is presented: the hair transplant procedure. Turkey has a range of expert clinics, such as HairBack Clinic (whose 98% success rate ranks them as one of the best hair transplant clinics in the country), offering premier care for those in need. With such a range to choose from, this article gives some tips on how to go about arranging treatment.

How to choose the right clinic for hair implantation

For a hair transplant operation, the choice of clinic is decisive. Indeed, choosing the best hair transplant clinic will guarantee the success of it. Hair transplantation intervention requires a trained and experienced team, and it is therefore essential to take into account not only the experience of the surgeon and his team, but also the results they have obtained. It also goes without saying that the best hair transplant clinics must provide suitable and personalised treatment for each of their patients, as well as quality services.

What the best hair transplant clinic should provide

• A preliminary, personalised and detailed diagnosis
• The best implantation techniques (Sapphire FUE, DHI, DHI without shaving)
• A qualified surgeon and experienced teams trained in the best techniques
• Quality services
• Personalised follow-up
• A lifetime guarantee on hair transplant operations

Clinics such as HairBack Clinic guarantee that patients are surrounded by the best professionals and experts in the field of hair transplantation. For example, Dr Baykal Oymak, the specialist at HairBack leading a team of 30 hair transplant specialists, is a renowned practitioner in Turkey with 17 years of experience. He started his career as a dermatologist at Bogazici Hospital in Istanbul, and over the years has performed around 14,000 successful hair transplant operations. Oymak is also a specialist in PRP treatment and mesotherapy and keeps up to date with the latest innovations and developments in the sector, actively participating in scientific congresses and seminars around the world.

All members of a reputable team should have participated in numerous training courses, congresses and seminars in plastic surgery and follicular transplantation throughout the world. A good clinic should make it a point to provide all of their patients with well-trained, experienced and world-renowned medical professionals and hair transplant experts, thereby ensuring the best hair transplant results.

How to know if someone is a candidate for hair transplantation

Before embarking on a hair restoration project, it is imperative to know if one are a good candidate for this procedure. Indeed, several factors will have to be taken into account, such as age, type of alopecia, general state of health, follicular density of the donor area.

The density of the donor area, where the grafts will be extracted, in particular will have a direct impact on what will be possible to achieve during the operation, and on the result that will be obtained. It should be large enough to cover the areas affected by alopecia. In some cases of advanced alopecia, more than one hair transplant session will be required. If the donor area is low-density, a second operation will not be possible. This is why it is imperative to establish a personalised diagnosis beforehand, so that it’s possible to know the number of hair transplant sessions needed, as well as the number of grafts necessary for a good result. This will allow for decisions about the technique that will be the most effective, appropriate to the specific case – a prerogative for one of the best hair transplant clinic in Turkey.

What are the best hair transplant techniques?

While, in the past, the FUT technique (which consisted of extracting a strip from the back of the skull) was the only technique practiced, thanks to advanced research, innovative and much less invasive techniques have emerged.\

• The Sapphire FUE technique is performed through micro-incisions of the sapphire blade, which allow the previously extracted graft to be implanted.
• The DHI technique is performed with an “implanter pen” (CHOI Pen) and the hair is grafted directly into the scalp without the need to make a prior incision.

These two techniques are the best that exist today, and allow the best natural results in terms of density and homogeneity. The big difference between the two is the technique of implantation of the follicles in the recipient area, and not in the extraction of the follicles obtained from the donor area.

Whatever the implantation technique recommended by the hair surgeon, only one extraction technique will be performed: FUE, which consists of removing the follicles from the donor area by means of a micro-motor – or manually – which makes small perforations in the scalp to extract one by one the grafts that will later be reimplanted.

How to get a diagnosis and make an appointment

Many practitioners, including HairBack Clinic, offer a free online diagnosis, based on photos that are meticulously examined by the doctor, who will then explain the number of grafts needed, the most appropriate implantation technique and the number of hair transplant sessions required. Like the HairBack Clinic, a good specialist’s the rates should be fixed so that there are no unpleasant surprises on arrival. Five-star accommodation and on-site transport are often provided and included in the price.
