Hair transplants have become as popular and commonplace as Botox, lip fillers, butt lifts, and six-pack liposuction for both men and women. This is actually positive news for people in the UK considering hair grafts to restore their hair and self-confidence. These days, finding a top hair transplant surgeon is much easier, and the technology is highly advanced compared to the olden days of slapping a rug of hair on your head. Hair grafting procedures are more accessible than ever before!
If you're thinking about a hair transplant, it’s important to understand the stages of a hair transplant journey before making a final commitment. At Este Medical Group, we offer comprehensive hair transplant services, including hair transplant consultations, hair loss assessments and hair follicle analysis, pre-surgery preparation, and post-surgery aftercare in the UK. The actual transplant procedure, however, takes place at our 5-star hair loss clinic in Turkey.
Understanding the entire process and committing to all the key steps is essential to ensure a successful hair transplant outcome. From the initial consultation and assessment, where a hair specialist will evaluate your type of hair loss and discuss your goals, to pre-surgery treatments like PRP and laser hair therapy, each stage is vital. The transplant aftercare process is equally important for supporting optimal healing and new hair growth.
By familiarising yourself with what’s involved with a hair transplant journey, you can make informed decisions and have realistic expectations. This guide will provide you with information about planning a treatment, available transplant procedures, aftercare, and expected results, ensuring you are well-prepared for a hair graft procedure.
The Basics: Hair Transplant Planning & Preparation
At Este Medical, client care is our highest priority. This is why we begin every hair transplant journey with an Este consultation.
In general, here’s what should be covered in a hair transplant consultation. First, an assessment is made about suitability for the procedure, which involves a scalp and hair follicle analysis, along with discussion about your expectations and grooming goals. Your suitability for hair grafts will be decided on scalp health, rate and type of hair loss, as well as the vitality and location of donor hair follicles. The scalp and hair assessment should reveal what type of hair loss issues you are experiencing and any dominant hair loss pattern that may inform which hair graft procedure you are best suited for (i.e., FUE or DHI hair transplant).
Once your suitability for a hair transplant is established, a personalised treatment plan for your hair restoration and hair surgery preparation can be put in place. If you are planning a hair transplant with Este UK, then your Este branch team will start making arrangements for your Turkey flight, hotel accommodation, taxi transfers, and hair clinic appointments and surgery to make sure your journey is easy and stress-free. Este Medical will manage your UK/Turkey hair transplant from start to finish.
Here is a helpful checklist you can refer to when having a hair transplant consultation:
- Medical history will be discussed. Be sure to share any prior hair loss treatments.
- Hair & scalp examination. Note what assessment device is used in the examination.
- Discussion of hairstyle goals and hair regrowth expectations
- Explanation of procedures. Ask about pre-surgery treatments and aftercare.
- Customised treatment plan. Should include the number of grafts needed and the anticipated coverage.
- Treatment travel arrangements. Check how the hair loss clinic will support you with these important details.
- Financing and cost. You should be provided with a cost estimate of the procedure.
- Pre & post-operative prep. Get a full explanation of what to expect.
- Question session. Take this time to ask as many questions as you need to.

Aftercare: Essential Part of Recovery For The Best Results
Proper post-surgery hair transplant aftercare is crucial for ensuring that hair grafts settle into the scalp and thrive. At Este Medical, we support our clients with immediate post-op aftercare (e.g., first hair wash), as well as aftercare treatments to minimise shock loss and stimulate the hair growth cycle.
Este Medical hair transplant aftercare treatments may include a combination of the following:
- Laser light hair regrowth therapy
- PRP hair injections
- PRF hair injections
- Stem cell hair therapy
- Derma rolling with minoxidil
Each aftercare treatment is unique. With Este Medical aftercare, you can experience the benefits of natural hair growth enhancement and advanced medical hair regrowth solutions.

The Results! What To Expect and When
Post-hair transplant, healing begins immediately as the scalp adapts to the newly transplanted hair grafts. It typically takes 1 to 2 weeks to recover from the initial surgery. Full recovery, where hair follicles settle and lock into place, can take 5 to 12 months. Most recipients see visible new hair growth within 3 to 5 months, with up to 100% new hair growth within a year.
Regrowth results will vary from person to person. Patience is key during the first few months as newly transplanted hair follicles need time to recover and enter the natural growth cycle. Customised aftercare can support this process.
At this stage, you'll likely be thanking yourself for choosing the best hair transplant clinic. Este Medical has been awarded Turkey’s #1 Hair Transplant Clinic and the Most Trusted Multi-Practice Clinic at the LuxLife awards.
