Frequently Asked Questions

The clinic offers personally planned hair transplantation as well as supportive hair treatments such as PRP, stem cell and exosome treatments. Every option is discussed after a personal assessment.

Emine Erdem Hair Clinic has been supporting people considering a hair transplant since 2009.

An experienced team working directly within the clinic coordinates the process from the first consultation to the procedure day and the aftercare that follows.

Our clinic is in Maltepe, on the Asian side of Istanbul: Başıbüyük Mah. Başıbüyük Yolu Cad. No:6, Kent Plus Centrium A1 Blok D:5, 34660 Maltepe/Istanbul.

You can send your details and photos of your hair taken from the front, both sides, the top and the back via the hair analysis form, or contact the clinic by phone, WhatsApp or email.

Appointment capacity is kept limited so that our team can devote enough time to personalised planning, the procedure day and follow-up support.

A meaningful plan depends on your hair loss, your donor area and your goals. That is why our team first reviews your photos and information; the fees and what they cover are then explained clearly.

If a treatment is not suitable for you, our team will explain why and may suggest alternatives or a reassessment at a later date.

A hair transplant is performed under local anaesthesia, so the treated areas are numbed. Most people feel the anaesthetic injections and some light pressure; discomfort afterwards can usually be managed with the medication provided.

Grafts are extracted individually (using the FUE method); the implantation approach is decided during planning according to your donor area, the area to be treated and your priorities.

This depends on the size of the area to be treated, the density you would like and the number of grafts your donor area can safely provide. An estimate is shared after your photos have been reviewed.

No responsible clinic can guarantee a specific result. Hair growth and density vary from person to person, which is why expectations are discussed openly during the consultation.

They are supportive treatments that aim to support existing hair follicles. They do not replace follicles that have been lost and are assessed individually, with a clear explanation of the scientific evidence.

In some cases they are considered alongside a hair transplant. Whether a combination makes sense for you is decided during planning.

The number of sessions and their intervals are planned individually. For patients travelling from abroad, the practicalities of travel are also part of this discussion.

Recovery and visible hair growth vary from person to person. Scabs usually fall off within two weeks; new hair grows over the following months and the final result is usually assessed at 12–18 months.
