Androgenetic alopecia (male/female pattern baldness) is the most common type and responds excellently to transplantation. Other forms like alopecia areata, scarring alopecia, and traction alopecia each require careful evaluation. Understanding your specific type of alopecia is the first step toward finding the right solution.
Types of alopecia and transplant suitability
Androgenetic alopecia (pattern baldness): excellent transplant candidate — this is what most hair transplants treat. Traction alopecia: good candidate once the traction is stopped — transplants can restore edges and hairline. Scarring alopecia (cicatricial): potentially suitable, but requires specialist evaluation — success depends on whether the scarring is stable. Alopecia areata: generally not recommended for transplant as it's an autoimmune condition that can affect transplanted hair. Your consultant will assess your specific type.
Getting the right diagnosis
Before recommending a transplant, our medical team will determine your exact type of alopecia through: detailed medical history, scalp examination, potentially blood tests for hormonal or autoimmune markers, and possibly a scalp biopsy in unclear cases. This thorough evaluation ensures we recommend the treatment most likely to succeed for your specific condition.

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
Can alopecia areata be treated with a transplant?
Generally no. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks hair follicles — including potentially transplanted ones. We recommend medical management (corticosteroids, immunotherapy) for alopecia areata. Transplant may be considered only after prolonged complete remission.
Is traction alopecia reversible?
Early traction alopecia can reverse naturally once the traction stops. However, long-term traction can cause permanent follicle damage. In these cases, hair transplant is an excellent option for restoring the affected areas — typically the hairline edges and temples.
How do I know which type I have?
A proper diagnosis requires medical evaluation. During your consultation, our team will assess your hair loss pattern, medical history, and potentially run tests to determine the exact type. This is crucial because treatment recommendations differ significantly between alopecia types.
