Considering a hair transplant in Turkey raises practical questions about cost, clinic choice, Istanbul travel, techniques, recovery and results. These answers explain HCT's current approach and link to the detailed evidence. They are not a personal medical assessment; your history and examination determine the advice you receive.

A graft is a piece of tissue containing one or more hair follicles. Ask whether a quoted number refers to grafts or individual hairs so you are comparing like with like.
You can begin by contacting HCT and sharing the information requested by the coordination team. This is preliminary; it does not replace the medical evaluation needed for a final decision.
Explain your main concern, previous procedures and current treatment. Have your medical history and medicine list available for the medical assessment. The free hair analysis page explains the requested photo views.
Ask which alternatives, investigations or period of observation are appropriate. An initial enquiry does not commit you to having treatment.
You may express preferences, but ask the team to explain the harvesting and placement stages separately and why the proposal fits your assessment.
The treatment area has its own design and hair-direction considerations. The treatment-types guide explains the different questions to raise.
No outcome should be treated as guaranteed. Ask for realistic limitations, including what the proposed plan cannot achieve.

Supplied by the clinic, 5 September 2026. Not a fixed offer. An individual written quote confirms the technique, package contents and total after assessment.
No. Check the written inclusions and exclusions for your proposal, including any travel, accommodation, transfers and aftercare arrangements. Do not assume these from a technique name.
The branch office is at Selenium Retro in Bakirkoy; the medical center is in Halicioglu, Beyoglu. Confirm the appointment location with your coordinator. The Contact page lists both addresses and map links.
Ask for the names and roles of the team assigned to your date, including medical responsibility, the practitioner, anaesthesia and follow-up. Published HCT team profiles are available on the Our Team page.
Ask for your appointment and follow-up schedule before booking travel. The appropriate itinerary depends on the plan; this FAQ does not prescribe a universal length of stay.
Visible early healing commonly takes around one to two weeks, but work, exercise, washing and travel advice must follow the plan written for your own procedure. Early shedding can occur, new growth develops over months and the settled result may take around a year or longer.
No. Early appearance is not the final result. Growth develops over months, and the timing differs between patients. Agree on review points with your team.
Transplanted hairs can shed during the early weeks before later growth. If you are concerned, send an update to your treating team rather than judging the outcome from a single early photograph.
Do not change prescribed treatment based on this FAQ. Discuss every medicine and supplement with the clinician responsible for your care and follow their individual instructions.
Contact the treating team promptly. If symptoms are severe or you need urgent help, seek local urgent medical care rather than waiting for an online response.
Use your agreed patient-support contact. The Contact page also provides the clinic phone, WhatsApp and email, with a separate route for existing patients.
