Female hair loss is an inconvenient experience for many women—but it doesn’t have to be. Clinichub offers hair restoration experts specializing in treating female hair loss and helping women regain their confidence to face every day with bold and beautiful hair.

While hair loss may seem like a man’s problem more than a woman’s problem, women are nearly as likely to lose hair—or experience thinning hair at any age—and for a variety of reasons. 

Hair loss in women 

One in every three women experiences hair loss. There can be several reasons for female hair loss. There is a handful of contributing factors that can interfere with the hair’s natural growth cycle—medication, illness, infection, or chemicals—which all have the potential to prevent the hair from fulfilling its natural growth cycle. 

The good news is hair loss in women can be reversed—a female hair transplant in Turkey can help you achieve a healthy, vibrant head of hair safely and permanently. 

FUE hair transplants for women in Turkey 

The shape of the female hairline differs distinctly from that of the opposite sex. Instead of a front-temporal recession of hair like how it occurs in men, a women’s hairline descends downward and is rounded.

Our female hair transplant specialists scrupulously and compassionately recreate every recipient site angle to guarantee that the pattern of hair implants in women created complements the look of a youthful female hairline.

Moreover, they take into consideration important factors— the patient’s age, ethnicity, head shape, facial features, and stage of hair loss—to develop the most effective hair restoration technique.

Before the hair Transplant procedure

It is recommended to refrain from smoking and stop taking any medication or vitamin supplements, which contain aspirin, ibuprofen or Vitamin E for 2 weeks before the procedure.

It is also advised not to trim or colour hair for 1 week before the procedure. During your initial consultation, our hair transplant doctor will discuss your aesthetic goals, expectations and concerns. 

During a female hair transplant surgery in Turkey, healthy hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (areas of high hair density) and are implanted in the recipient areas (hair loss sites).

Nonetheless, this can be rather challenging, since female baldness patterns are typically more diffuse than those occurring in men. 

Once transplanted, hair follicles grow in the same way as any person’s natural hair, leaving you with hair that blends in naturally with your hair growth patterns.

It takes around 4-6 months for the transplanted hair to start growing. Patients are expected to start noticing the full results of a female hair transplant in Turkey normally 12-18 months after the procedure. 

Female hair transplant Turkey techniques 

Hair transplant surgery for women techniques are unique and may differ from hair transplant techniques for men—and may even differ from woman to woman as to how the follicles are extracted from the donor sites. 

FUE female hair transplant technique 

Our hair restoration experts in Turkey utilize follicular unit extraction (FUE), to individually harvest hair follicles—in which a circular incision is made in the skin around the upper part of the follicle from the back of the head.

The hair tissue is then meticulously grafted and implanted into the hair loss area, which is the final phase in the female hair transplant process. All extracted grafts are painstakingly prepared for implantation and carefully implanted to achieve the perfect orientation, direction, pattern and fit. 

DHI female hair transplantation technique 

Direct hair implantation method (DHI Turkey) with female hair transplantation involves implanting hair follicles one by one directly into the hair loss area. Each hair follicle is implanted in a precise direction, angle and depth, using a DHI tool (DHI implanter), providing natural results and maximum coverage. The use of DHI Implanter eliminates the need for the creation of holes or slits in the recipient area. 

Steps of a hair transplant surgery 

1. Hairline design & planning 

Our medical team will identify your donor and recipient areas and work to personalize a plan to help you achieve the most natural-looking hairline with a healthy donor area.

2. Graft harvest 

Follicles will be extracted from the backside of the head. This process is performed by micro-motor creating 0.7-0.8 mm microholes in diameter. It is used to make very small incisions in the donor area to prepare for hair follicle harvest. Our trained team examines the follicular grafts and prepares them for placement. Follicular unit grafts are arranged into groups depending on the number of hairs in each follicle. 

3. Hole creation in the recipient area 

Once the local anaesthesia is administered, the recipient area is prepared for the surgical process. After the incisions are made, follicular unit grafts are implanted in the tiny incisions of the recipient area. 

4. Graft placement

The grafts are placed one by one in the pre-planned direction depending on the number of hair within each follicle. 

What to expect after the female hair transplant procedure

Hair transplant surgeries do not require a hospital stay—and patients can go back to their hotel on the same day. Your hair transplant surgeon will thoroughly explain hair transplant surgery instructions.

Female hair transplant recovery 

After female hair transplant surgery, your scalp may be sore and tender. Your assigned hair transplant surgeon may ask you to take pain medications for several days. You will also need to wear bandages over your scalp for at least a day or two. The doctor may also prescribe an antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medication to be taken for several days.

Most patients can return to work 2 to 5 days after their female hair transplant surgery. The transplanted hair will fall out—within 2 to 3 weeks after surgery—which is completely par for the course. You should start to notice the new hair within a few months. Some hair transplant surgeons prescribe minoxidil (Rogaine) to promote hair growth after hair transplantation. 

The cost of female hair transplant in Turkey 

It’s natural for overseas hair transplant patients to be concerned about the cost of hair transplants in Turkey. While the cost of a female hair transplant surgery may be more expensive than that of male hair transplant surgery in some countries. The cost of a female hair transplant in Turkey is the same as a male hair transplant.
