THE PROCEDURE
What is DHI hair transplant?
A Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) hair transplant is an advanced procedure that restores hair growth by implanting healthy hair follicles directly into areas affected by thinning or baldness. The result is a fuller, natural-looking hairline and improved hair density that complements your facial features.
Unlike non-surgical hair loss treatments, a DHI hair transplant provides a permanent solution by using your own hair follicles. The specialised implantation technique allows precise control over the angle, direction, and depth of each graft, making it particularly suitable for restoring the hairline, increasing density, and treating men and women with pattern hair loss.
At Revitalize in Turkey, every DHI hair transplant is tailored to your hair type, pattern of hair loss, and desired outcome. Our experienced hair transplant specialists use advanced DHI techniques to achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results while prioritising patient comfort, safety, and the exceptional value and care that have made Turkey a leading destination for hair restoration.

SUITABILITY
Are you a candidate for DHI hair transplant?
A DHI hair transplant may be right for you if you:
Are experiencing thinning hair, a receding hairline, or pattern baldness
Have sufficient healthy donor hair for transplantation
Want a permanent, natural-looking solution to hair loss
Are looking for precise hairline restoration or increased hair density
Are in good general health and a non-smoker, or able to stop before surgery
Have realistic expectations about the results and recovery process
Candidacy is always confirmed after a medical review of your hair loss pattern, donor area, medical history, and photographs. If a DHI hair transplant is not the most suitable option, we’ll honestly recommend an alternative treatment based on your hair characteristics and desired outcome.

RECOVERY
DHI hair transplant recovery timeline
Days 1–3: Mild redness, swelling, and small scabs around the implanted grafts are normal. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions, and it’s important to avoid touching or washing the treated area unless advised by your surgeon.
Days 4–7: The scalp continues to heal, and most scabs gradually fall away. Light daily activities can usually be resumed, and most patients are able to fly home after 2–3 days, subject to their surgeon’s approval.
Weeks 2–8: The transplanted hairs typically shed as part of the normal healing process (shock loss). This is expected, while the implanted follicles remain healthy beneath the skin.
Months 3–12: New hair growth gradually begins from around 3–4 months, becoming thicker and denser over time. Most patients see significant improvement by 9–12 months, with final results continuing to develop for up to 18 months.
SAFETY FIRST
Risks & safety
A DHI hair transplant is a safe and well-established procedure, but like any surgery, it carries some risks, which we discuss openly during your consultation. These can include swelling, redness, temporary numbness, scabbing, itching, minor bleeding, infection, folliculitis, or uneven hair growth. In rare cases, some implanted grafts may not survive, resulting in a lower-than-expected hair density.
We minimise these risks through a comprehensive pre-operative assessment, advanced DHI techniques, and detailed aftercare with 24/7 support throughout your stay. Your specialist will explain your individual risk profile and provide personalised guidance to help ensure the best possible outcome.

EXCELLENT Based on 80 reviews Posted on Google Vanya BriggsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I chose Revitalise in November 2025 for a deep plane facelift, neck lift, temple brow lift, and facial fat grafting. I was quite apprehensive beforehand, but the moment I met the surgeon and the team, all my worries disappeared. They were absolutely incredible , professional, reassuring, and genuinely caring. We stayed at the Mandarin resort, which was lovely overall, and although there are a few small areas that could be improved, the experience surrounding the surgery itself was exceptional. Professor Ahmets hands gave me complete confidence, and the nurses were attentive, kind, and consistently supportive. Our chaperones were brilliant throughout the stay. We had a few different ones, but Abbie supported my husband and me for most of our time there, and she was truly outstanding. Teona was also wonderful at the resort and Lali The rest of the staff appear to be kind too. We really enjoyed our time in Izmir exploring the bazaar, trying different restaurants, seeing the local sights, and having moments of proper relaxation too. The only area I feel could benefit from improvement is the food at the resort. Because it’s quite a distance from other places to eat, having more substantial meal options would make a big difference, especially for Brits recovering from surgery who often need protein-rich, hearty meals. The soups and porridge were delicious, but sometimes you just need a proper meal with meat and carbs to support recovery. Aside from that, everything else was faultless. My husband also had dental work done, and the dentist was extremely attentive. I’ve already booked to return this year for a breast revision and hairline procedure with Revitalise. Thank you so much for everything especially Teona and Abbi ❤️Posted on Google alison richardsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The whole process from start to finish was very slick, friendly and professional. I was met at the airport by a lovely driver and there was another young lady with me as well. We were dropped to the villa and given some soup which was nice. Next day I had my surgery. Deep plane facelift, neck lift, temporal brow lift and upper eyes. Everything went well and I spent the next 6 nights at the villa recovering. It’s a lovely place to stay and you can even just pick oranges off the trees! They are super delicious. I walked down to the sea one day as well. There are a couple of mini markets you can buy things from. I 100% recommend this clinic to anyone looking to have surgery. It takes all the stress out of it and they even found the flights for me! One lady who was there with me had been there 6 times and when she told me her age I very nearly fell off my chair lol! Will definitely be back possibly for teeth. Thank you all so much and see you again :-)Posted on Google Karen longTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am almost 4 weeks post op, I had a Mummy Makeover. I am delighted with my results. The care received from all was amazing. I will be going back later this year. Thank you all.Posted on Google Arzu AltanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Me and my husband went for dental implants in Izmir and after a couple of months evaluating options we choose Revitalize. It was the best decision! We have just completed the second phase of our treatment last Monday and we couldn´t be happier. It is true, it is not painless as the say, but all in all worthed the disconforth we had, during same (few) steps. For sure, if an acquaintance of ours wish to perform outstanding oral surgery at a very good price, we will sure recomend Revitalize.Posted on Google Gill BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just been to Revitalize for my second time. For someone going alone for surgery which is obviously a scary experience I highly recommended this company. They took fantastic care of me the whole way through and everything is super professional. The staff are all very kind and the accommodation is lovely. Since I've come home they have answered my queries right away too. I met some really great other people at the villa and enjoyed getting to know them and our meal times together. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Revitalize if you are considering it 😊Posted on Google Paula Deveney-SwanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an extended Tummy Tuck in February 2024. The service was outstanding. On arriving the driver was waiting for me to take me to the villa. The villa is just amazing, helpful friendly and experienced staff on call 24/7 The surgeon was friendly and informative The hospital was spotless, I stayed for 1 night before going back to the villa to recover for a further 8 nights The room at the villa had everything I needed and pull cords should help have been needed, thankfully it wasn’t. The grounds and pool were perfect, unfortunately I could only look at the pool due to surgery. February 2025 and I’m back, this time for breast reduction and uplift. Again can’t find fault in anything. Staff always on hand to help, hospital and villa spotless. What next ……Posted on Google Sonia BramleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Unparalleled service and care provided. Their unique set up of providing pre- and post-operative support is incredible. You have 24/7 on site support as well as residing with patients undergoing similar procedures. Their English speaking surgeons really listen and treat you as individuals rather than a conveyor belt of procedures. The camaraderie that you build at the villa is unmatchable. I cannot recommend this company highly enough.

ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
What is a DHI hair transplant?
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is an advanced hair restoration technique in which individual hair follicles are implanted directly into the scalp using a specialised implanter pen. This allows precise control over the angle, depth, and direction of each hair.
How is DHI different from FUE?
Both procedures use individually extracted hair follicles. With DHI, the follicles are implanted directly using a Choi implanter pen without first creating recipient incisions, allowing for greater precision and potentially higher hair density in selected cases.
Is a DHI hair transplant permanent?
Yes. The transplanted hair follicles are typically resistant to pattern hair loss, making the results long-lasting. However, your existing natural hair may continue to thin over time.
When will I see the results?
The transplanted hairs usually shed within the first few weeks, which is a normal part of the healing process. New hair growth typically begins after 3–4 months, with noticeable improvement by 9–12 months and final results developing over 12–18 months.
Is the procedure painful?
No. DHI is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Mild soreness or tightness afterwards is normal and usually resolves within a few days.
Who is a good candidate for DHI?
DHI is suitable for many men and women with thinning hair, a receding hairline, or pattern baldness who have sufficient healthy donor hair. It is particularly effective for patients seeking precise hairline design or increased density.
How long will I need to stay in Turkey?
Most patients stay for 2–3 days, allowing time for the procedure, post-operative checks, and aftercare before returning home.
When can I wash my hair?
Your specialist will provide detailed washing instructions. The first wash is usually performed or supervised a few days after the procedure, after which you can continue gentle washing at home.
Will I need to shave my head?
This depends on the treatment area and your hair characteristics. While many DHI procedures require shaving the donor area, some patients may be suitable for partially shaved or unshaven techniques.
Will I need more than one DHI procedure?
Many patients achieve their desired results with a single session. However, those with extensive hair loss or progressive thinning may benefit from a second procedure in the future to increase density or treat additional areas.
