Is the procedure painful?
There may be brief discomfort during local anesthesia. Pain experience and protocols vary.
How long should I stay in Turkey?

When can I return to work?
Desk work may be possible after a few days, while visible redness and scabbing can last 7-10 days.
When will I see results?
Growth often begins around months 3-4, develops at 6-9 months and is commonly assessed at about 12 months.
Is no-shave transplantation suitable for everyone?
No. Suitability depends on area size, method, donor characteristics and the procedure plan.
