Hair loss and male pattern baldness are issues that many men face as they age, and can have a detrimental impact on confidence. In the UK, approximately 40 per cent of men will experience them to some degree by the age of 35, increasing to around 50 per cent by the age of 50 – and by the age of 60, more than 66 per cent of men will be dealing with significant hair loss.
Genetic predisposition, hormonal changes, and lifestyle influences are some of the most common causes of male pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia, as it is scientifically known – which means for the most part, it is unavoidable. But thankfully, it’s no longer a condition that men have to live with.
Although early hair transplant procedures left something to be desired when it came to the results, advancements in science and technology have changed things dramatically since then, with the latest innovations making it possible to successfully restore a full head of hair to its former glory.
Although there are many clinics offering the treatment here in the UK, Turkey has built a strong reputation that has made it the go-to choice for hair transplant procedures, with experienced professionals, luxurious clinics and favourable prices all leading to a boom in medical tourism to the country for this treatment in particular.
Dr. Emrah Cinik’s hair transplant clinic in Istanbul is one of the most highly sought-after, and has established itself as a premier destination for individuals seeking effective hair restoration treatments, with a strong emphasis on patient satisfaction and cutting-edge technology, and a team of highly qualified professionals.
World class expertise and credentials
The clinic’s founder, Dr. Cinik, brings a wealth of experience and expertise with him to his practice, having graduated from Uludağ University’s Faculty of Medicine and going on to dedicate his career to aesthetic medicine – most specifically, hair restoration. Never one to rest on his laurels, he makes it a priority to continue to learn and evolve to ensure that the clinic consistently delivers the most exceptional results possible, and by staying abreast of the latest advancements in hair transplant technology, he has ensured that his patients always receive the most effective and modern treatments available.
Advanced techniques
No two patients are the same, and each comes with their own challenges and unique set of needs, which is why at Dr. Cinik’s clinic, a variety of hair transplant techniques are offered and tailored to each patient.
The two primary methods offered are Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Direct Hair Implantation (DHI).
The FUE technique involves extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area – usually the back of the head – and implanting them into the thinning or balding areas. A minimally invasive technique that requires only a small amount of downtime afterwards, it leaves no linear scars, making it a popular choice amongst those who are suitable candidates.
But some may require (or prefer to have) the DHI technique in order to get the results they want. Amore advanced version of FUE, a specialised tool is used to implant hair follicles directly into the scalp without creating prior incisions. This technique allows for greater precision in the placement of hair follicles, resulting in a more natural-looking hairline and denser hair growth.
Comprehensive patient care
While the clinic’s cutting-edge treatments are of course one of the major reasons Dr Cinik has become so popular with men seeking restorative hair treatment, it’s also Dr Cinik’s understanding that delivery is just as important. Patients receive comprehensive patient care and a luxurious experience all round, starting from the initial consultation through to the post-operative follow-up. Each patient’s journey begins with a detailed consultation to assess their hair loss and discuss the most suitable treatment options, offering a personalised approach that ensures that every patient receives a tailored treatment designed to align with their specific needs and goals.
World class treatments require world class facilities, and the clinic certainly offers that, with the use of cutting-edge equipment ensuring a comfortable and safe experience for patients and the calming aesthetic of the clinic ensuring they instantly feel relaxed and that they are in safe hands.
The medical team, led by Dr. Cinik, is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of hygiene and patient care throughout the process, making the experience as stress-free as possible from start to finish.
Dedicated post-operative support
Patients at the clinic aren’t simply sent on their way and wished good luck once the procedure is done, and there’s also an emphasis placed on recovery and post-operative care – both of which are critical components of a successful hair transplant and essential to ensure the best possible results. The clinic provides thorough aftercare instructions and regular follow-ups to monitor the patient’s progress and to ensure that any issues can be addressed in a timely manner. Ultimately, it’s about making sure that the transplant site heals optimally so that patients can enjoy a fully restored head of hair as quickly as possible, and although results don’t happen overnight and a little time and patience is required, with the clinic’s considered approach, its track record is consistently excellent. Patients are guided on how to care for their new hair grafts themselves, too, and on what to expect during the recovery period so that there are no surprises along the way.
The bottom line
Whether you’re dealing with early-stage hair loss or more advanced balding, a hair transplant procedure is a solution worth considering and Dr. Cinik and his team deliver effective, natural-looking results that restore not just hair, but confidence as well. So, if you fancy combining your treatment with a sun-soaked break to Turkey’s most vibrant city, then look no further.
