The transplanted grafts are most vulnerable during the first 10–14 days, and how you care for them during this period directly impacts your results. Our comprehensive aftercare protocol covers everything from washing technique to sleeping position, ensuring your grafts have the best possible environment to survive and thrive.
First 2 weeks: critical care
Hair washing: begin gentle washing on day 2–3 as demonstrated by your clinic. Use the provided special shampoo, apply gently with fingertips (no rubbing or scratching), and let water run over the area without direct pressure. Sleeping: sleep on your back at a 45-degree angle using extra pillows or a neck pillow. Medications: take all prescribed antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and any other medications as directed.
Weeks 2–6: maintenance phase
As scabs naturally fall away (never pick them), transition to your normal washing routine. Continue avoiding direct sun exposure, swimming pools, saunas, and strenuous exercise. Apply any prescribed topical treatments as directed. By week 3–4, most restrictions are lifted and you can resume normal activities. Your clinic will provide specific milestones and progress check-ins.

Arrive in Turkey
VIP pickup at the airport. We take you to your hotel. Meet your English-speaking coordinator who stays with you the entire trip.
Operation day
Blood tests in the morning. Procedure under local anaesthesia (painless). Watch movies or sleep while we work. Return to hotel the same day.
Recovery & return
Next-day check-up and first hair wash at the clinic. Enjoy Istanbul for a few days. Fly home with aftercare kit and 12-month follow-up support.
Is it safe? Does it hurt?
We know you have concerns. Here are honest answers.
Is it safe?
Yes. Hair transplant is one of the safest cosmetic procedures. Our partner clinics are accredited, use sterile single-use instruments, and every procedure is performed or supervised by a licensed surgeon. Turkiye's Ministry of Health strictly regulates medical tourism clinics.
Does it hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia — you feel nothing during the operation. The numbing injections take 10-15 minutes and cause mild pinching. Needle-free anaesthesia is available for zero-pain numbing. Most patients rate post-operative discomfort as 2-3 out of 10.
What are the risks?
Serious complications are very rare. Normal side effects include temporary redness (2-4 weeks), mild swelling (3-5 days), and shock loss of transplanted hairs at weeks 2-4 (they regrow). Infection risk is minimal with proper antibiotics and aftercare protocols.
How long is recovery?
Most patients return to desk work in 5-7 days. Scabs fall off within 10-14 days. Light exercise from week 2, full exercise from week 3-4. New hair growth begins at month 3-4, with final results at 12-18 months.

WhatsApp Us NowFrequently asked questions
What products should I use after my transplant?
Our aftercare kit includes a specialised post-transplant shampoo, moisturising spray, and any topical medications prescribed by your surgeon. Avoid harsh shampoos, hair products, and chemical treatments for at least 4 weeks. Your surgeon will advise when you can return to your regular products.
What if I accidentally bump my grafts?
Don't panic. Grafts are more resilient than many people think. From 24 hours post-procedure, grafts are already beginning to anchor. Light contact won't cause problems. Significant impact in the first few days could dislodge some grafts, but most patients go through recovery without any issues. Be careful but don't be overly anxious.
Do I need follow-up appointments?
We schedule a next-day check-up, a first hair wash demonstration (day 2–3), and follow-up consultations at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. Post-departure follow-ups are conducted via video call. Your coordinator remains available throughout for any questions or concerns.
