A hair transplant moves healthy follicles from where your hair grows thickly — usually the back and sides of the head — to areas that have thinned or gone bald. Because those donor follicles are genetically programmed to resist hair loss, the result is permanent growth of your own hair, in the places you’d lost it.
Turkey performs more hair transplants than anywhere in the world, and at Kotul Healthcare in Antalya your procedure is arranged the way we arrange everything: an honest candidacy assessment from your photos first, a written plan and quote, and your hotel and private transfers organised before you book a flight.
Wondering if it would work for you? Send photos of your hair from the front, top and back on WhatsApp — our team will tell you honestly whether you’re a good candidate, free and without obligation.
A transplant can be performed at almost any age, as long as your hair loss isn’t caused by an underlying scalp condition and you have healthy donor follicles to work with. It’s worth exploring if:
A good outcome begins with honest selection. The strength of your donor area, the pattern of your loss and your expectations all decide whether — and when — surgery is the right move. If the right answer is “wait” or “this won’t give you what you’re picturing,” that’s the answer you’ll get from us before you spend anything.
The best donor site is the back of the scalp, where follicles naturally resist the hormone that causes hair loss — which is why transplanted hair keeps growing for life. When scalp donor hair is limited, follicles can sometimes be taken from the beard or chest, though the yield is generally lower than scalp hair. Your donor strategy is mapped out during your assessment, before any plan is finalised.
There’s no single “best” technique — the right one depends on your hair type, the size of the area and your donor supply. The methods we work with:
Which method — or combination — fits your case is recommended by our medical team after your assessment, with the reasons explained, so you’re choosing between options that actually apply to you rather than a technique picked off a price list.
Your coordinator gives you exact instructions, but typically you’ll be asked to:
Some swelling around the face and forehead in the first days is normal. After that, the essentials are gentle and short-lived:
After you fly home, you’re not on your own — our team stays reachable, and your progress is followed through the shedding-and-regrowth months.
Pricing depends on the extent of your hair loss and the number of grafts your plan needs, so every quote is individual:
Most patients find treatment in Antalya costs a fraction of the equivalent in the UK or Western Europe, with no waiting list.
That's the standard a transplant lives or dies by. Hairline design and the angle of each graft are planned to match how your hair naturally grows — it's your own hair, growing where it used to.
Neither is universally "better." FUE is the versatile modern standard; DHI allows very dense, precise placement. The right choice depends on your hair and donor area, and it's recommended after your assessment.
It's done under local anaesthesia, so you're comfortable during it. Some tightness or sensitivity in the first days afterwards is normal.
Expect shedding in the first few weeks — this is part of the process, not a failure. New growth becomes visible over the following months, with the full result at roughly a year.
Transplanted follicles are permanent, but your original, non-transplanted hair can keep thinning. Your assessment will cover this honestly, including whether a maintenance plan makes sense.
