      • What precautions should be taken after a hair transplant? Clinics commonly advise avoiding strenuous activity, smoking, alcohol, direct sun and touching the grafts while the scalp heals. Any change to a prescribed medicine, including blood thinners, should be agreed with the doctor who prescribed it.
      • What is the best age for a hair transplant? The best age for a hair transplant is typically between 25 and 45 years.
      • Is a hair transplant in Turkey safe? Clinics in Turkey describe their own work as safe when it is done in a licensed clinic by an experienced surgeon, and they also agree that quality varies a lot between clinics. All of that comes from the clinics themselves rather than from independent regulator or complication data, so any judgement rests on the specific clinic and surgeon, not on the country.
