Baldness and hair loss is typically considered a man’s problem; however, hair loss can affect anyone, regardless of their gender. Unfortunately, more than 50% of females will experience significant and visible hair loss in their lifetime. Female hair loss takes on many forms like shedding, progressive thinning, and bald patches. The most common cause of hair loss is female pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). Other types of hair loss females experience include: diffuse hair loss (chronic telogen effluvium), severe stress (telogen effluvium), alopecia areata, traction alopecia, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
The extent of hair loss will vary from person to person; here are some factors that can influence female hair loss.
Este Medical Group provides the highest quality treatments delivered by the most technically advanced medical grade tools and devices. Follicular Unit Extraction transplants are popular because each hair is moved one by one, resulting in a completely natural and healthy-looking head of hair. With FUE, there is a higher degree of surgical control when it comes to hair harvesting and transplanting.
For female clients, the transplant procedure can be more time intensive because women are less likely than men to allow the whole scalp to be shaved. At Este Medical Group, we completely understand that most women want to preserve their hair length and hide the location of the hair donor site (e.g., back or sides of the head).
For our clients who have this concern, only a small area is shaved to harvest hairs for transplant, so it can be easily covered with longer hair above the donor site once the treatment is complete. Women can count on Este Turkey to provide a discreet hair transplant treatment for their specific type of hair loss.
You will see noticeable results immediately. In just five months, clients experience visible hair growth - on average 50% hair growth. And within a year, most transplant recipients will experience up to 100% hair growth. An FUE transplant treatment is highly successful.
Your hair transplant journey to Turkey starts with a consultation at the nearest Este Medical Group clinic, or online with an Este hair loss specialist. The first thing to do is send us a message through our website and book a FUE consultation.
As part of the consultation an Este hair loss expert will assess your hair loss type, discuss potential hair loss causes, and recommend the most optimal regrowth treatment and treatment timeline for you. This initial consultation will determine if a FUE hair transplant Turkey treatment is the best option for your type of hair loss.
Once a FUE treatment has been booked at our hair transplant clinic in Turkey, you will need to undergo some treatment preparation: laser hair regrowth therapy is recommended to stimulate and prepare your scalp for the transplant procedure. Once your transplant is booked you will be fully briefed on what to expect during and after a FUE regrowth treatment.
Este Medical Group will look after your accommodation and travel to Turkey. When you arrive to our Istanbul hair transplant clinic, our friendly team will be there to greet you (they do speak English, no worries!). Before the FUE procedure your transplant team will go over the whole treatment from beginning to end, making sure you are once again fully briefed on what to expect. Post-treatment the team will make sure you have all you need to know to continue with your transplant aftercare.
Treatment begins with a local anaesthetic applied to the treatment areas of the body and scalp. The surgery team will locate and extract hair from a stable zone (also called the donor site) on your body (e.g., back or sides of the head) and transplant these hairs one by one to the treatment area you wish to improve with new hair growth. If you are bald or balding, another donor site like the legs or arms may be able to provide hair for transplanting. This will all be reviewed during your initial consultation. There is no downtime from this procedure, after the treatment is complete you will carry on with your day like any other.
After the hair transplant, you can go about your daily business as usual. Since you are in Istanbul, we highly recommend you take some time for sightseeing and eating delicious Turkish cuisine. In Istanbul it is not unusual to see men and women walking around after a hair transplant; it’s considered quite normal in Turkey (nobody even looks at you, as hair transplants are that common).
Once you leave Turkey you will be booked for some hair transplant aftercare at the nearest Este clinic. Depending on the extent of your hair transplant and recovery, you may be booked for specialist hair washing, hair growth maintenance, and laser hair regrowth therapy. Individual aftercare plans may vary from client to client. All Este Medical Group hair transplant clients will receive check-ups and follow-up attention.
An Este haircare expert will customise for you a detailed aftercare plan to best care for the scalp and new hair growth. This includes a step-by-step first hair wash (on the third day) and a final post-treatment hair wash guide. Este’s transplant aftercare facilitates the regrowth of stronger hair and a healthier scalp.

There are several different types of hair loss, and a hair transplant might not be necessary for all types. Effective hair loss treatments are: microinjections, laser treatment, and/or surgery (e.g., FUE hair transplant). To best answer this question, it is recommended you book a consultation with an Este Medical Group hair loss specialist. Message us directly through the Este website.
Side effects may include a tight, achy, swollen scalp and scabbing around the transplanted hairs. These side effects are common but not harmful, and they will subside within a few days. There is also a very small risk of bleeding on the scalp, infection, and/or an allergic reaction to the local anaesthetic. Get in touch with Este Medical Group to book a hair transplant consultation and have all your questions about FUE surgery answered.
This depends on your daily routine, and if you are in a client-facing role or work remotely. The general recommendation is you can return to work within 2-5 days. There are little to no side effects from this safe and proven treatment. You might experience some redness, swelling, numbness, or temporary scabbing on the scalp. These side effects are common but not harmful, and they will subside within a few days. This is something you can discuss with an Este hair transplant specialist during your transplantation consultation.
Every client has a different experience, but on average it will take 6-12 months to be able to see the hairs grow thick. In just five months, clients experience visible hair growth – on average 50% hair growth. And within a year, most transplant recipients will experience up to 100% hair growth. It’s a very successful treatment for extreme hair loss.
Each Este Turkey hair transplant client will have a customised post-treatment aftercare plan to follow for the optimal care for their scalp and new hair growth. For example, you can start using hairspray, gel or mousse to hold your hairstyle in place about four weeks after surgery. Hair mousse can be especially helpful to create volume and make hair look fuller while your new hair is undergoing its growth cycle. It is best to let an Este haircare expert make these recommendations post-treatment.
