In the article below, we discuss what you need to know to achieve the best results at this stage.

Why is The First Hair Wash Recommended after Hair Transplant?
The first hair wash is the first and most important stage of the post-transplantation care process. If recommended by the surgeon, this wash is performed by experienced nurses the day after your surgery. The importance of this step stems from the following reasons:
- The first wash is of great importance as it helps cleanse the scalp of blood clots and residues. If necessary, the first wash should be performed at the clinic to reduce the risk of infection.
- Keeping the grafts clean and safe is important for the longevity and health of the results.
- It also provides information on how to wash your hair after returning home and resuming your daily routine.
- By staying in Antalya for just one more day, you can ensure the health of your hair and the safety of the transplanted hair.
What You Need to Know for a Comfortable Trip?
Air travel after hair transplantation does not cause any health problems, and there is no obstacle to returning to your country after the transplantation. However, the first few days after the operation are important for the health of the transplantation. During this process, swelling may occur as a common side effect.
If you are returning by plane, changes in air pressure during the flight may slightly increase swelling around the forehead and eyes. However, this can be easily prevented by waiting 18-24 hours after the hair transplant. It is normal for some swelling to occur, especially in the first 2-3 days after the operation. Following the recommendations of the doctor and our hair transplant team will help our patients feel more comfortable and confident while traveling.

How Long Does Hair Transplantation Take in Antalya? The Process, Stages, and What You Need to Know
Hair loss is a condition that directly affects self-confidence in both men and women. In recent years, many people who want to permanently solve this problem have started to choose Antalya for hair transplantation. So, how long does hair transplantation take in Antalya? What happens on the day of the operation, and how long does the recovery process take? In this article, we explain the entire process step by step for those considering hair transplantation in Antalya.
How Long Does a Hair Transplant Operation Take in Antalya?
The hair transplant procedure performed at clinics in Antalya is usually completed in a single day. However, the duration of the procedure may vary depending on the method used and the number of grafts (hair follicles) to be transplanted:
- FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method: Average 6–8 hours
- DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) method: Approximately 8–10 hours
Both the collection of grafts and the transplantation process are completed within these time frames. In some cases, if the number of grafts is very high, the procedure may be divided into two days, but this is quite rare.
How Long Does the Hair Transplant Process Take in Antalya?
If you are planning to have a hair transplant in Antalya, it is recommended that you plan for at least 3 days. Clinics usually offer packages with every detail planned out, and the process proceeds as follows:
- Day 1: Arrival in Antalya, hair analysis, preliminary consultation with a specialist, and operation planning
- Day 2: Hair transplant operation
- Day 3: Check-up and first wash
- Day 4: You can choose to explore the city or return home
Some patients prefer to stay a few extra days to take advantage of Antalya’s tourist attractions. Especially during the summer months, recovering in the presence of the sea and nature can be quite relaxing.
Recovery Process and Hair Growth Timeline
The recovery process after hair transplantation occurs in several stages:
- First 3 days: Rest and careful care are required. Wearing a hat, sweating, and sun exposure are not recommended.
- 7–10 days: The scabbing process is complete, and shedding begins.
- 2nd week–2nd month: Most of the transplanted hair temporarily falls out (shock loss).
- From the 3rd month onwards: Permanent hair begins to grow.
- By the 6th month: Approximately 50–60% of the hair becomes visible.
- 9–12 months: Full results are achieved; the hair achieves a natural and dense appearance.
Don’t Rush to Recover and Get the Best Results
Perhaps the most important stage of hair transplantation is the first few days after the procedure. Every step taken during this stage will be a step toward the future of your hair. Don’t let the fact that there are no travel restrictions after hair transplantation cause you to rush, because the best results are achieved with patience. We would like to remind you that the first 18-24 hours after surgery are critical for the survival of the grafts and the healing of the scalp.
If there is no urgent reason to rush, we recommend spending a certain amount of time in Antalya. This ensures the health and long-term durability of the transplant.
