Understanding Hair Transplantation: Techniques, Results, And Recovery Explained

Hair loss can affect anyone and while it’s often seen as a cosmetic issue, it can deeply influence self-confidence and identity. we understand that hair restoration is not just about appearance, it’s about helping you feel like yourself again. With advanced medical techniques and expert surgeons in Turkey, Medilik has become a trusted destination for natural, long-lasting hair transplant results.

Here’s everything you need to know about how it works, what to expect, and how we ensure your journey is smooth from start to finish.

Hair transplantation is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that relocates healthy hair follicles from a donor area (typically the back or sides of the head) to areas affected by thinning or baldness. The transplanted hair continues to grow naturally for a lifetime, restoring both hair density and confidence.

At Medilik, we use advanced diagnostic tools to determine the type of hair loss, hair density, and donor area quality before recommending the right method for each patient.

There are two main techniques widely used today:

• FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): Individual follicles are extracted one by one and implanted into the target area. This method leaves no visible linear scar and ensures quick recovery.

• DHI (Direct Hair Implantation): Using a specialized implanter pen, follicles are placed directly into the scalp without prior incisions. It offers high precision and natural density, especially for hairline design.

Both techniques are available at Medilik, performed by skilled surgeons who tailor the approach to each patient’s hair type, pattern, and goals.

Most people with stable hair loss patterns and a healthy donor area are suitable candidates. During your consultation at Medilik, our specialists evaluate:

• The extent and cause of hair loss

• Scalp health and elasticity

• Donor hair density

• Your overall health and expectations

This step is key to achieving realistic, satisfying results.

1. Consultation & Planning: Your doctor maps the new hairline and designs the transplant area.

2. Extraction: Hair follicles are gently removed from the donor area.

3. Implantation: Follicles are inserted into tiny micro-channels in the recipient area following the natural direction of your hair growth.

4. Post-Care: You’ll receive clear aftercare instructions and follow-up support from the Medilik team.

The entire procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically lasts 4-8 hours, depending on the number of grafts.

After surgery, mild redness or swelling is normal and subsides within a few days. Patients can return to normal activities after 3 to 5 days.

At Medilik, we provide personalized aftercare guidelines, including how to wash, protect, and nourish the transplanted area to ensure maximum graft survival and optimal growth.

New hair growth usually begins around the third month after the procedure. Full, visible results appear gradually over 9–12 months, as the transplanted follicles grow naturally. The final outcome is a permanent, natural-looking head of hair that blends seamlessly with your existing strands.
