What affects the cost of a hair transplant?
The price of hair transplant for women depends on such factors:
- The size of the zone where the drop occurs
The larger the area where the hair needs to be transplanted, the higher the cost of the procedure. However, some clinics offer a fixed price for a transplant. This means that regardless of the size of the zone, the cost will not increase.
The cost of a hair transplant in a particular country depends on the general level of prices for medical services. For example, in the centers of Turkey, the procedure will cost 1.5-3 times cheaper than in the clinics of South Korea and European countries. At the same time, the price difference does not affect the quality of the intervention.
Each of the medical centers has its own pricing policy. The list of additional non-medical services that are included in the price also differs. Some clinics provide their clients with airport transfers, hotel accommodation and translation services at no additional charge, in others they are paid separately. To avoid additional costs, ask your Bookimed medical coordinator which medical centers offer package prices for hair transplantation for women and men.

What are the methods of hair transplantation for women?
In the world's leading clinics that specialize in hair transplantation for women, the following types of procedures are available:
Hair transplant without shaving - DHI (Direct Hair Transplant - direct hair transplant)
This is the most modern method that is used for hair transplantation for women. The advantage of DHI is that it does not require shaving the hair in the transplant area. Thanks to this, no one around you will notice that you underwent a transplant.
Grafts (groups of 1-4 follicles) are taken by a specialist with a special thin tube - punch. He performs implantation using Choi Implanter Pen. This is a tool that, according to the principle of operation, resembles an automatic writing pen: the doctor places follicles in it and, by pressing a button, introduces them into the skin.
Seamless hair transplant method - FUE (Follicular unit extraction - extraction of the follicular unit)
This technique is rarely resorted to, since it requires shaving off the hair in the area of \u200b\u200bloss. The procedure is suitable if you need to restore hair growth in a small area or you do not intend to hide that you have undergone transplantation.
Doctors perform a seamless hair transplant using a special rotating stamp (FUE machin), which removes the grafts. After that, the doctor makes micro-incisions or punctures and implants the follicles into them with the help of tweezers.
In some centers, a new type of sutureless transplantation is available - Sapphire FUE . During this procedure, the doctor makes incisions on the thinned area with an ultra-thin scalpel with a sapphire tip. It allows for smaller punctures, so recovery is faster than traditional FUE. The result of such an intervention is more natural, since doctors can plant the area more densely and it is easier for them to set the hairs in the right direction.
The strip method (FUT patchwork hair transplant) is no longer used by leading clinics in the world, since the procedure is traumatic and leaves a scar on the donor area.
How is the preparation going?
Hair transplant does not require any special preparation. At the same time, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons advises to stop using tobacco during the preoperative period. It's also important to talk to your doctor about nutrition, vitamin intake, and tell him about any medications you take. You may have to stop taking some of them for a while.
On the eve of the transplant or on the day of the transplant, it is necessary to take a blood test for hormone levels. If the indicators are normal, the specialist performs the operation. If an imbalance is detected, he prescribes treatment, and in this case, the intervention is postponed until complete recovery.
How is the procedure and recovery going?
The course of the procedure
Hair transplantation takes place under local anesthesia, so you will not feel any discomfort. The duration of the intervention is 2-8 hours (depending on the chosen technique and the size of the zone).
At the end of the operation, the doctor applies a bandage to the donor site and, if necessary, prescribes pain medication. After that, the patient can go to the hotel, since hair transplantation does not require hospitalization.
It is important to know!
For 1 procedure, the specialist transplants a maximum of 4,000 grafts. If this is not enough, after recovery it is necessary to return to Turkey for a second transplant.
Recovery after hair transplant
The next day after implantation, you need to come to the clinic for a consultation. The doctor removes the bandage, examines the head and washes it using a special technique. He gives recommendations for washing and gives out a special shampoo. On the same day, you can go home.
The crusts that form on the donor and transplanted sites disappear in 1-2 weeks.
When is the result visible and how to improve it?
Hair growth normalizes 6-12 months after the procedure (depending on the characteristics of the body).
To improve the survival of transplanted follicles, it is important to follow these recommendations:
- refrain from intimacy for 1 week;
- 2 weeks to avoid serious physical exertion, prolonged exposure to the sun and in the water;
- Sleep on your back for 15 days with 2 pillows under your head to avoid accidental injury to the transplanted area.
To restore hair growth in the donor area and accelerate it in the transplanted area, you must use shampoo and other cosmetic products that will be given to you at the clinic.
In some medical centers, to enhance the effect of transplantation, doctors inject stem cells or platelet-rich plasma into the patient's scalp. (PRP therapy).
