Frequently asked
How much does an FUE hair transplant cost?
FUE in the US: $3–$8 per graft, totaling $6,000–$25,000 for typical hairline restoration (2,000–3,500 grafts). In Turkey: $1–$3 per graft for total cases of $2,000–$6,000 — driven by tech-performed extraction and high volume.
How long does it take for hair transplant results to show?
Transplanted hairs shed at 2–4 weeks (this is normal; the follicles are alive). New growth begins around month 4. Most growth visible by 9–12 months. Final density and shaft thickness at 18 months.
Is FUE better than FUT?
FUE leaves no linear scar and allows shorter haircuts — preferred by most modern patients. FUT (strip) yields more grafts per session and may be appropriate for very large cases or repeat procedures. Outcome quality is similar with skilled surgeons.
Do you need to take finasteride after a hair transplant?
Most surgeons recommend continuing finasteride and/or minoxidil after transplant to prevent further loss of native hair around the transplanted area. Without it, the surrounding hair continues thinning and the transplanted area becomes an obvious island.
Should I go to Turkey for a hair transplant?
Turkey offers high volume at low cost — outcomes range from excellent to disappointing. Quality varies by clinic. Vet aggressively: surgeon involvement (not just techs), clinic license, before/after at 12 months (not just day-1), and revision policy if you fly home and have problems.
