According to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, alopecia (hair loss) affects people of all ages and genders. Worldwide, about 160 million have this problem. Women are more prone to baldness than men. It is noteworthy that in an overwhelming number of cases, pathological hair loss begins before the age of 40, and in 40% of people – before 20 years of age. To cope with this, women resort to various methods of aesthetic medicine. Eliminating such a cosmetic defect is possible only with one technology – hair transplantation. This procedure is the most popular among medical tourists who come to Turkey to improve their appearance.

Read: What hair transplant methods are available for women in Turkey?
According to the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, about 640,000 medical tourists come to Turkey every year. Of these, more than 60,000 are looking for hair transplants. This procedure attracts people from different countries, including the US, India, Pakistan, Australia, and Europe. The surgeons practising here have thousands of such surgeries to their credit. They apply advanced technologies for the surgical treatment of baldness. Among the most popular and effective methods stand out: DHI and FUE.
Direct Hair Transplanting (DHI) is one of the most gentle and effective ways to combat alopecia. It is done with a CHOI applicator pen. Using the applicator, hair follicles are extracted from the donor area and immediately transplanted into the desired area without first creating holes in the skin. Approximately 2,000 grafts are implanted per session. One of the advantages of DHI is that the hair does not need to be shaved off to perform the grafting as with other techniques. This method allows for a more precise insertion of hair, providing a natural-looking result.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant is also called sutureless transplantation. It allows hair to be transplanted without leaving scars. A special instrument called a punch is used to take the grafts. The surgeon selects the best quality material from the donor area, most often the back of the head. Using a stereomicroscope, the doctor transplants hairs into the formed channels on the scalp. In a session, it is possible to implant from 1,500 to 4,000 groups of hair follicles – grafts. The disadvantage of the procedure is the need to shave off the hair.
Flap or direct hair transplantation Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) is an outdated method. It is the first technology to be used for the surgical treatment of baldness. It is more traumatic than other hair transplantation options on the head, which is why it is not in demand in Turkey. In FUT, the surgeon removes a strip of skin with hair, more often from the back of the head. The removed strip of skin is divided into microscopic sections containing hair follicles. These follicles are then transferred to an area of sparse hair growth, where they are inserted into microscopic holes created in the skin. After the procedure, a scar is left at the site where the flap of skin is removed.

Hair transplant reviews for women in Turkey
Clinic: Saluss Clinic
Procedure: Hair transplantation
Patient’s age: 35 years
Patient from: Kyiv
Amalia: “I have had thin hair since childhood. But after the birth of my second child, the situation worsened. My hair became so sparse that I didn’t even know how to hide it and how to live with it. I started looking for permanent solutions and got interested in hair transplantation. Reviews about this surgery on the Internet were mostly positive. I found a lot of good testimonials from hair transplantation patients in Turkey., especially from young women. Reading them, I realised that not everything is yet lost. Through my acquaintances, I came across a company that deals with medical tourism. They helped me organise a trip to Turkey for a hair transplant. I was treated by the excellent specialists at the Saluss clinic. The procedure lasted 7 hours. I was injected with anaesthetic and then the doctor started transplanting the hair follicles one by one. There was no pain, but some discomfort. Afterwards, there was swelling and small scars on my head. With time, everything went away and now the scars are practically invisible. The initial result of the transplant was visible immediately, then after 3 weeks the transplanted hair fell out and new hairs started growing back in their place. Almost a year has passed since then and now I have beautiful hair.”
