When is hair transplant recommended for curing traction alopecia?
As mentioned above, traction alopecia is not considered a medical condition, which is why our hair transplant surgeons in Turkey do not automatically recommend the hair transplant as a solution. Instead, they will first do a complete checkup of the scalp and recommend a daily routine of the hair and, in certain cases, medication and shampoos which can help hair regeneration.
Hair transplants in cases of traction alopecia are recommended in severe cases and only after other less invasive methods have been used. The FUE method is the most employed and cost-effective approach in our hair transplant clinic in Turkey.
