Myth 1: Hair transplants look fake or obvious.
Fact: Modern FUE hair transplants at Istanbul Hair Clinic are designed to look natural. Each follicle is placed at the angle and direction of your natural growth, and the hairline is drawn to suit your face and age.
Myth 2: Hair restoration is only for men.
Fact: Women also experience thinning and hair loss. Depending on the cause, the answer may be a hair transplant for women or treatment such as PRP and mesotherapy.
Myth 3: Non-surgical treatments like PRP don’t work.
Fact: PRP, mesotherapy and Regenera can strengthen weak follicles and reduce hair loss in many patients, especially when started early. They work on follicles that are still there — they don’t grow hair on areas that are completely bald.
Myth 4: Results appear immediately.
Fact: Hair restoration is gradual. Transplanted hair sheds in the first weeks, new growth starts after about 3 months, the result shows clearly around month six, and the final result takes 9 to 12 months.
Myth 5: Hair transplants are very painful.
Fact: The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, so you don’t feel pain during the session apart from the first injection. Most patients go back to normal activities within a few days.
