Body Hair Transplant

Am I Eligible For A Body Hair Transplant?

When determining eligibility for a body hair transplant, it’s important to consider the reasons for your hair loss and the results you’re seeking from the procedure. Loss of hair from the body, whether the entire body or from a more localised area, can be caused by a number of reasons. These include:

• Trauma – Some traumas, including road accidents, burns and the results of surgical procedures, can lead to hair loss in a specific area of the body. This can either be temporary through telogen effluvium, in which the hair is lost quickly but grows back or through damage to the hair follicles, after which the growth cannot return without treatment.
• Your Genes – If you are genetically predisposed to hair loss, this can affect any part of your body, from your scalp to your facial hair, chest and more.
• Stress – Stress can often lead our bodies to go through unbalanced hormones, which can speed up the ‘loss’ stages of the hair growth cycle. Changes in diet, illness, weight and hormones each hold the potential to affect the quality of our hair.
• Medication – Some medications are known for causing hair loss though in most cases, this is temporary.
• Nutritional Deficiencies – If you are deficient in certain nutrients – namely vitamins A, B-12, C & D, iron and zinc, you may experience accelerated hair loss or brittle, breakable hair.

After determining the cause of your hair loss, you can better decide whether a hair transplant for your body hair is the right choice for you. Typically, those who have seen hair loss due to trauma or by genetics are the best candidates for hair loss, though some patients with patterned loss of their body hair may also benefit from a transplant.

It’s important to note that a body hair transplant may not be permanent, however, our experienced, fully-trained surgeons are well-versed in body hair transplant procedures, helping to improve the longevity of each implanted graft. As members of ISHRS, our patients can rest assured that each of our surgeons is highly skilled and sought-after in the industry, meaning they are truly in the best hands.

The Body Hair Transplant Journey

Each of our patients, whether for a traditional scalp transplant or a body hair transplant, are treated to our extensive packages. These packages are offered as standard, included within the cost and consist of the following:

• Your surgery
• Any medication, shampoos and lotions you may need
• Accommodation for 2 nights in Istanbul or Izmir
• Private airport transfers to and from the airport
• Translation and interpreter services
• 12-month aftercare programme

You will also be assigned a dedicated patient host for your stay in Istanbul or Izmir, who will be on hand to not only act as your central point of call for, but will be there to attend your appointments with you and will stay by your side while you recover from the surgery in the clinic or hospital.

The downtime required for a body hair transplant is minimal thanks to the minimally-invasive nature of an FUE transplant. You will be able to explore Turkey as you desire, though you will need to attend a post-op check-up before you can return home. Throughout this check-in, your surgeon will be able to provide you with any additional aftercare instructions, take a look at how the grafts are taking to your skin and answer any final questions.
