Hair Transplant options we arrange
FUE hair transplant
Individual follicular units are extracted from the donor area at the back of the head and implanted into thinning areas. No linear scar.
Sapphire FUE
The same FUE principle, with channels opened using sapphire blades for finer incisions and a dense, natural-looking result.
DHI (Choi implanter)
Grafts are placed directly with an implanter pen without opening channels first — often chosen to add density without shaving the whole head.
Beard & moustache transplant
Fills patchy areas or redefines the beard line using grafts from the scalp donor area.
Eyebrow transplant
Restores thin or over-plucked eyebrows with carefully angled single-hair grafts.
PRP therapy
Platelet-rich plasma from your own blood, often recommended alongside a transplant to support healing and existing hair.
Is it right for you?
Hair Transplant may be suitable if you have:
- Men and women with androgenetic (pattern) hair loss
- A stable pattern of hair loss and a healthy donor area
- Scarring from previous procedures or injuries
- Realistic expectations about density and the 12-month growth timeline
The final decision is always made by your doctor after a detailed review of your medical history and, where needed, tests in Istanbul.

Hair Transplant: frequently asked questions
How many grafts will I need?
It depends on the size of the area, your hair loss stage and the quality of your donor area. Send us clear photos of the front, top, crown and back of your head and the medical team will give you a personalised graft estimate.
Is a hair transplant painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so most patients feel only the initial injections. Mild tightness or discomfort in the first few days is normal and managed with prescribed medication.
When will I see the results?
Transplanted hair usually sheds in the first weeks (shock loss), new growth begins around month 3–4, and the final result is typically visible at 12–18 months.
Do I need to shave my head?
For classic FUE the donor and recipient areas are usually shaved. Unshaven or partially shaven DHI may be possible for smaller areas — the team will advise after reviewing your photos.
