What is HIV hair transplant Turkey?
HIV Hair Transplant turkey In our clinic, hair transplantation in HIV positive patients is carried out in a sterile and appropriate environment together with our experienced doctor. The method we apply is the FUE method. This technique is the process of removing hair follicles from the scalp, in form of individual, bilateral, triple follicular units, without any incisions and sutures with the help of a micromotor, which has special tips of 0.6-1.1 mm diameter. It is the only root extraction method used in hair transplantation. Healthy adult individuals with adequate hair in the area between the two ears, we which we call the donor area, are considered suitable candidates for hair transplantation.
HIV hair transplant Istanbul Fue & DHI
The method that is named as FUE Hair Transplant, in other words follicular unit extraction, is a method for hair transplant turkey defined in 2004. First time it was defined, it was performed with a special pen-like instrument as shown in the following figure.
In this method named Punch Biopsy, a pen-like apparatus is placed in skin to the depth of the hair’s root and the follicular unit was removed as a whole. For example, if the patient needs 2000 grafts, this procedure was repeated 2000 times. Even though this method, which costs a lot of time both for the patient and health personnel, was replaced with a motorized system, there are still doctors insisting to use this method.
The only difference of this method known as Fue Motor from other old methods is the fact that the operator doesn’t have to remove the follicular unit manually. Actually the basic principle is the same, but the operator gains significant amount of time with this new method. The apparatus at the tip of the punch biopsy pen is connected to a motor and the speed of the motor can be adjusted to the requested level. The thickness of the tips can be changed and tips at the requested lumen diameter according to the donor area can be inserted. The time it saves is of course not the only advantage of the fue motor. The tissue deepness can be standardized thanks to the motorized method, and this removes the obligation to check the tissue deepness constantly. And again with the Fue Motor, grafts can be removed from closer areas and more grafts can be removed from the same region with the motor. Another advantage of the motor is the lower chance of breaking up grafts with 2-3 or even 4 roots, in other words the higher success in protecting the integrity of the follicular unit.

Yes, you can have a hair transplant with HIV, provided your condition is well-managed. Proper antiretroviral treatment reduces complications and supports healing. Surgeons assess individual health, viral load, and immune status beforehand. This ensures safety and reduces infection risks during and after surgery. A healthy immune system is vital for healing and transplant success.
Pre-procedure medical clearance and collaboration with your healthcare team are essential. Experienced surgeons use sterile techniques to protect your health throughout. Open discussion with your doctor will address risks and optimize your transplant outcome.
Is HIV test required for hair transplant?
HIV test is often required before a hair transplant to ensure patient and surgical team safety. Knowing your HIV status helps your doctor plan the procedure safely. Surgeons need to assess immune health and healing potential before proceeding. Antiretroviral therapy and a controlled viral load minimize risks and complications during surgery.
Transparent communication protects your health and reduces any risks of infection for everyone involved. Clinics follow strict confidentiality and safety protocols when handling sensitive medical information. This testing requirement promotes the best possible care and safety standards for all patients.

Doctors carefully evaluate viral load and immune status before proceeding. This helps prevent complications and ensures optimal healing.
Collaboration with your healthcare provider is essential for a tailored treatment approach. Clinics take extra precautions for safety and infection control during the procedure. Open discussion with your surgeon will clarify specific risks and benefits in your case. With proper care, achieving a successful transplant outcome is possible.

Doctors evaluate overall health before approving the procedure to ensure safety. Antiretroviral therapy significantly lowers risks of complications during and after surgery. Surgeons use rigorous infection control measures to protect patients throughout the process. Open communication with your healthcare provider helps address specific health needs and risks. Proper planning and collaboration create a safe pathway to successful hair restoration for HIV-positive patients.
Can I travel to Turkey if am HIV positive?
Travel limitations for people living with HIV differ from nation to nation and are subject to change, so it’s important to learn about the particular regulations and entrance criteria of the country you plan to visit—in this case, Turkey. As of January 2022, when I last updated my information, Turkey did not have any particular travel restrictions or entrance prohibitions for people living with HIV.
Once more, before making travel plans to Turkey, make sure you confirm the most recent entry criteria and policies by consulting official sources and getting in touch with the appropriate authorities, such the Turkish embassy or consulate. To guarantee a safe and healthy travel, you should also think about getting advice from a medical practitioner who specializes in HIV care.
