Este Medical in Turkey was delighted to welcome Lana Rae for a no-shave forehead-lowering hair transplant — an experience that helps challenge stereotypes around female hair restoration. Lana openly shared her behind-the-scenes journey to show other women that modern hair transplants can be discreet, comfortable, and tailored to their lifestyle.

‍Why Did Lana Rae Choose a Hair Transplant?‍

After her Este consultation, Lana was relieved to learn that she was a candidate for an unshaven hair transplant procedure. Instead of shaving her scalp, donor hair follicles were strategically harvested from the back of her head — an area easily hidden by her long hair — and surgically inserted along her hairline to create a softer, more youthful frame for her face.

‍Lana Rae Shares Hair Graft Experience

“I traveled from Atlanta, Georgia to Turkey for my hair transplant. When people think of hair transplants, they usually think they’re just for men, but women can benefit too, especially as we get older and our hair changes. For me, it was all about restoring my hairline for a more balanced look.

My experience at Este Turkey was amazing. The staff was informative, supportive, and made me feel comfortable the entire time. The procedure was virtually pain-free and surprisingly affordable. It was absolutely worth it, and I can’t wait to see my final results. Thank you Este Medical,” says Lana Rae.

Lana’s story is a wonderful example of how advanced female hair grafting in Turkey has become — offering natural results without shaving and helping women feel confident at every stage of the hair restoration journey.

‍Lana Rae Does Just Over 3,000 Hair Grafts! 

As mentioned above, it’s easier than ever to have a targeted hair transplant procedure. In Lana’s case, she wanted to restore a receding female hairline and, understandably, didn’t want to shave her long hair. Fortunately, she didn’t need a full head shave, as all of the hair grafting focused on her hairline and temples where she was experiencing hair thinning and hair loss. For situations like this, the DHI hair transplant method is an excellent option. 

In total, Lana Rae received 3,525 hair grafts — all without a full shave. With this number of hair grafts, her hairline will be strongly well defined, dense and thicker, and completely natural as new hair grows in.

What Is a DHI Unshaven Hair Transplant for Women?  

A DHI no-shave hair transplant allows women to restore a natural-looking hairline and fill in thinning areas while keeping their long hair intact. This technique is especially appealing for women who want noticeable results without the downtime or visibility that comes with shaving the head.  

At Este Medical Turkey, we use the advanced Choi Implanter Pen to implant hair follicles with exceptional precision. Unlike traditional hair transplant methods that sometimes require shaving, the DHI technique can be performed on long hair, making it a discreet and lifestyle-friendly option.  

During the procedure, individual hair follicles are carefully extracted from the donor area (typically the back of the head) where hair growth is naturally strong. Using the Choi Implanter Pen, each graft is implanted directly into the thinning or balding areas of the scalp. This advanced tool allows our surgeons to control the angle, direction, and depth of every hair graft, which helps ensure the new hair grows naturally and blends seamlessly with your existing hair. The result is a refined, fuller hairline and improved density in targeted areas, all without a full head shave. 

If you’re curious whether a DHI unshaven hair transplant is right for you, we invite you to reach out through our website. Booking a consultation is the best way to learn more about female hair grafting options and receive personal recommendations from the Este Medical team.

‍Why Women of All Ages Are Turning to Targeted Hair Grafts  

Women today are becoming more proactive about addressing hair thinning and hair loss — and targeted hair grafting is a big part of that shift. Years of hair styling, heat tools, coloring, hair extensions, and tight hairstyles take a toll on hair over time. This everyday wear and tear often shows up as thinning along the hair part line, a receding hairline, or weakened hair roots around the temples.  

‍Hormonal changes also play a major role in female hair loss. Life events such as pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and menopause can all affect hair growth cycles, leading to increased hair shedding or noticeable hair thinning. For many women, these changes feel frustrating and unexpected, especially when they impact areas that frame the face and define personal style.  

‍The good news is that women now have more solutions than ever before. Targeted hair grafts allow surgeons to restore hair density exactly where it’s needed, without shaving the head or disrupting existing hairstyles. These procedures are precise, discreet, and tailored to female hair patterns and grooming goals.  

In addition to surgical options, non-surgical treatments are also helping women boost hair regrowth and improve overall hair health. Therapies such as PRF and mesotherapy as well as red light laser hair growth therapy are commonly used to stimulate hair follicles, support healing, and enhance hair transplant results.

Today, women have just as many hair restoration options as men — Why Did Lana Rae Choose a Hair Transplant?. With modern techniques and personalized treatment plans, addressing female hair thinning is no longer something women have to accept or hideWhen Lana reached out to Este Medical Group Turkey, she was dealing with gradual hair thinning caused by a receding hairline and noticeable hair loss at the temples. Her goal was simple: restore hair fullness in these areas without shaving her head. Like many women, Lana wanted natural results with minimal disruption to her everyday look.
