Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to your questions about hair transplantation.
Before Hair Transplantation
How Is Hair Transplantation Performed?
Hair transplantation involves extracting hair follicles (grafts) from the donor area (usually the nape or behind the ears) and implanting them in bald or thinning areas. At Nirvana Hair, Sapphire FUE and DHI pen techniques are used. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in a hospital environment and takes approximately 6–8 hours.
Will Hair Transplant Results Look Natural?
Yes, thanks to modern techniques, hair transplant results look completely natural. With Sapphire FUE and DHI pen techniques, each graft is implanted at the correct angle and direction. Our experienced team creates a customized, natural hairline for each patient. The transplanted hair grows, is cut, and can be styled just like your own hair.
What Is the Difference Between FUE and DHI?
In FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), grafts are extracted individually and then implanted after a channel is opened. In the DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) pen technique, grafts are loaded into a special pen and implanted directly. The DHI technique provides more precise angle control, allows denser implantation, and has a faster recovery time. Both techniques are successfully applied at Nirvana Hair.
Are Hair Transplant Results Permanent?
Yes, hair transplant results are permanent. The hair follicles taken from the donor area are genetically resistant to falling out and remain in their transplanted location for life. The transplanted hair has a normal hair cycle — it grows, sheds, and regrows. However, existing hair loss may continue, so additional sessions may be recommended if necessary.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Hair Transplantation?
Suitable candidates for hair transplantation are: individuals over 25 with stable hair loss, sufficient donor area, and good general health. Pre-assessment is required for those with chronic illness, bleeding disorders, or active skin conditions. Suitability is evaluated during a free initial consultation.
During Hair Transplantation
Will I Be Awake During the Procedure?
Yes, hair transplantation is performed under local anesthesia and the patient remains awake. During the procedure you can listen to music, watch a movie, or simply rest. No pain is felt during the procedure — only a slight needle sensation during the local anesthesia injection. The procedure lasts approximately 6–8 hours and you will be in a comfortable position throughout.
How Long Does the Procedure Take?
Hair transplantation usually takes 6–8 hours. The duration may vary depending on the number of grafts, the technique used, and the patient's hair structure. Smaller sessions can take 4–5 hours and larger sessions up to 10 hours. After the procedure and a brief rest, you can return home.
Will I Feel Pain During the Procedure?
No, there is no pain during the procedure. Local anesthesia ensures a pain-free experience. You may feel a slight needle sensation only during the anesthesia injection, which lasts just a few seconds. You can comfortably rest, listen to music, or watch a film throughout the operation.
After Hair Transplantation
Will There Be Any Scarring?
Because Sapphire FUE and DHI techniques are minimally invasive, they do not leave visible scars. Tiny dot-shaped marks may remain in the donor area, but they become invisible as the hair grows. No scars are left in the implantation area.
When Will I See the Results?
The transplanted hair is visible for the first 2–3 weeks. After 3–4 weeks, shock shedding begins and the transplanted hair falls out — this is a normal process. New hair starts to grow after 3–4 months. Significant improvement is seen at month 6. Full results are achieved by month 12. In some patients the final result may take up to 18 months.
When Can I Return to Normal Life?
You can return to light activities 2–3 days after the procedure. Office workers can usually return to work after 3–5 days. Heavy physical activity and sports should be avoided for 2 weeks. From day 15 onward you can fully return to your normal social life.
General
What Is the Success Rate of Hair Transplantation?
With modern techniques and an experienced team, the success rate of hair transplantation is 95–98%. 95–98% of grafts successfully take root and grow. The success rate depends on donor area quality, patient compliance, the aftercare process, and the technique chosen. At Nirvana Hair, a high success rate is ensured through an experienced team, modern techniques, and comprehensive follow-up.
What Are the Hair Transplantation Prices?
Hair transplantation prices vary depending on the number of grafts, the technique used (FUE or DHI), and the scope of the procedure. Nirvana Hair applies a transparent pricing policy. A personalized price quote is provided after a free hair analysis. Medications, shampoo, and follow-up visits are included. Please contact us for detailed information.
