Assessment for hair loss

Assessment can help identify the type and possible cause of hair loss. Options include:

• Photo-based graft analysis: Free analysis with a quote within 24 hours.
• Physician consultation: Free, in person or online.
• Donor-area assessment: Checks hair density and estimates the available graft count.
• Scalp biopsy: Used to assess scarring and inflammatory alopecia.
• Bacterial culture: Checks for scalp infections, including Folliculitis Decalvans.
• Thyroid panel: TSH, ST3 and ST4 tests can assess suspected thyroid-related hair loss.

Surgical hair restoration

Dr. Özgehan is a Fellow of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery and president of the Turkish Society of Hair and Scalp Diseases. The clinic holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 10002:2018 certifications, plus a Turkish Ministry of Health international health tourism authorization.

• Sapphire FUE: Individual follicles are removed with 0.6–0.8 mm punches. Sapphire blades create recipient channels, while chilled storage solution helps preserve grafts. The procedure uses local anaesthesia, with same-day discharge and a next-day check-up.
• DHI: Follicles are implanted directly with a special pen, without opening channels first. It is offered for male and female baldness, short or dense hair, eyebrows, and hair loss over scars or burns.
• FUT: A strip of scalp is removed, then separated into grafts under a microscope. Stitches close the donor area, leaving a linear scar.
• Beard transplantation: Scalp follicles are placed at the natural beard-growth angle. A full beard may use about 2,500 follicles; an average session involves 4,000–7,000 grafts.
• Eyebrow and eyelash transplantation: Single-hair grafts follow the natural direction and angle of existing hairs.

Non-surgical and medical options

• PRP therapy: The patient’s platelet concentrate is injected into thinning areas and may be combined with surgery or medication.
• Low-level laser therapy: Scalp treatment uses low-level laser light to stimulate follicles.
• Hair-loss medication: Options include topical minoxidil and oral finasteride. Other medicines, such as dutasteride or spironolactone, may suit selected patients.
• Alopecia areata treatment: Intralesional triamcinolone injections may be used every 4–6 weeks for patchy loss affecting under 50% of the scalp. Topical corticosteroids offer a needle-free option, especially for children, and may continue for at least 3 months.
• Scalp micropigmentation: Cosmetic camouflage can create a density effect or cover scars. Eyebrow camouflage for alopecia areata takes 2–3 sessions of about 1 hour each.
• Exosome therapy and mesotherapy: Exosome treatment is offered for hair restoration, including female hair loss. Mesotherapy may support recovery from temporary hair loss.
• Supportive hair care: Paraben- and silicone-free products, including Procapil-based formulas, can be used alongside medical therapy.

The transplant package includes hotel accommodation, transfers, medication, a hair care kit, a first wash, video follow-up, and complication insurance. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.
