Hair Transplant Turkey Istanbul

Trusted, affordable hair transplants in Istanbul.

Getting a hair transplant in Turkey starts with researching clinic reviews, medical team’s credentials and comparing prices, before a consultation to discuss hair loss history, goals and concerns.

The Turkey hair transplant process then continues with a medical practitioner preparing a treatment plan, specifying the graft count and advising on the hair transplantation method.

The process also goes beyond surgery to post-treatment support for tracking recovery, identifying side effects early and providing timely care.

Turkey has become a global hub for hair transplants by offering affordable treatment costs, world-class medical facilities, highly skilled hair transplant surgeons and advanced hair transplantation methods, such as FUE, Sapphire FUE and DHI, using the latest medical technology. Additionally, Turkey is also an attractive tourist destination, due to its rich cultural and historical heritage and iconic landmarks. 

Turkey has become a popular destination for medical tourists seeking hair transplants for the reasons listed below. 

  • Affordability: Turkey’s low cost of living reduces expenses for real estate, wages, insurance, and legal services, lowering procedure prices. The devaluation of the Turkish lira against the USD and GBP further increases affordability for international patients. 
  • State-of-the-art facilities: Turkish medical facilities feature cutting-edge technology and modern infrastructure while adhering to stringent healthcare regulations and safety protocols.
  • Highly experienced professionals: Turkey has a large pool of highly qualified and skilled hair transplant practitioners with a large and diverse patient portfolio. 
  • Advanced techniques: The latest hair transplant technique of FUE and its variants Sapphire FUE (using a sapphire-tipped blade) and DHI (using a Choi implanter pen) are widely available across Turkish hair transplant clinics.
  • Tourism draw: Turkey’s a popular tourist destination and Turkish hospitality is world renowned. Over 50 million foreign tourists came to Turkey in 2024.

Natural-Looking Results with FUE

Follicular unit extraction, or FUE, is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique using a motorised punch tool for the extraction of individual hair grafts, leaving no visible linear scarring.

High-Density Results with Direct Hair Implantation

Direct hair implantation, or DHI, is an advanced type of FUE hair transplant that uses Choi implanter pens to make incisions and place grafts simultaneously without the need for pre-made incisions. Faster recovery, reduced scalp trauma, improved precision in graft placement, and higher densities and graft survival rates are some of the benefits.

Procedure Time: 6-8 hours
Recovery Time: 5-7 days

Technical Details

Technique:
Using Choi implanter pens, the sites are created and grafts are placed simultaneously after the grafts are extracted with a punch tool

Duration:
6-8 hours

  5. Site creation and graft implantation: Grafts are inserted in Choi implanter pens, which are used to create slits in the recipient area and insert grafts into them simultaneously.
sapphire fue hair transplant turkey

Dense, Natural Results with Sapphire FUE

Sapphire hair transplant is a type of FUE that uses V-tipped sapphire blades instead of standard steel blades to create small, precise and clean incisions in the recipient area. Sapphire FUE delivers more natural-looking results, minimises tissue damage and scalp trauma, in turn, supporting faster recovery. Sapphire FUE also has higher graft survival, resulting in a fuller appearance. Between DHI and Sapphire FUE, the latter is ideal for sessions with more than 3,000 grafts.

Procedure Time: 6-8 hours
Recovery Time: 5-7 days

Technical Details

Technique:
Graft extraction with a motorised punch tool is followed by site creation with v-tipped Sapphire blades; grafts are placed in the incisions with forceps

  6. Graft implantation: Grafts are placed into the incisions with the help of forceps.
hair transplant turkey for men

Treat Pattern Baldness with Men’s Hair Transplant

Hair transplants for men are popular among males suffering from androgenetic alopecia or pattern baldness. In male hair transplantation surgery, hair is redistributed from the donor area to the recipient area of the scalp, either using the FUT (follicular unit transplantation) or FUE (follicular unit extraction) technique. The results of the hair transplant are long-lasting and natural-looking.

Long-lasting Restoration with Hair Transplant for Women

Hair transplants for women provide a surgical solution for long-lasting hair loss, whether caused by female pattern baldness, traction alopecia, trauma or other conditions. Female hair transplants can be performed with follicular unit transplantation (FUT) or the latest follicular unit extraction (FUE) technique. In both methods, DHT-resistant follicles from the donor area are removed to the balding area for long-lasting growth. The surgery takes place under local anaesthesia and gives natural-looking results.

Procedure Time: 6-8 hours
Recovery Time: 5-10 days

Technical Details

Technique:
FUT, FUE, DHI, or Sapphire FUE methods

Duration:
6-8 hours

Recovery:
5-10 days

Initial growth seen after 3-4 months, full results visible after 12-18 months

Suitability:
Women with female pattern baldness, traction alopecia, traumatic alopecia, or other types of stable, permanent hair loss and high foreheads

Scars:
Small, circular scars (less than 1mm diameter) in FUE, and long, linear scar (15 to 30 cm in length) in FUT

  4. Site creation: Small incisions are created in the recipient area for graft insertion.
  5. Implantation: Using implanter pens or forceps, grafts are inserted into the slits to later take root.
beard hair transplant turkey

Full, Dense Beard with Beard Hair Transplant

A beard hair transplant involves transplanting hair into the beard area, usually taken from the scalp. With the scalp as the donor area, beard transplants can be done using follicular unit extraction (FUE) and follicular unit transplantation (FUT) techniques. Hair grafts extracted from the scalp are inserted into the beard area via small incisions which follow the angle of existing hair. Local anesthesia is required for the procedure, and it results in a thick and full beard that lasts longer.

Procedure Time: 6-8 hours
Recovery Time: 5-10 days

Technical Details

Technique:
FUT, FUE, DHI, or Sapphire FUE methods

Duration:
6-8 hours

Recovery:
5-10 days

Results:
Initial growth seen after 3-4 months, full results visible after 12-18 months

Local anaesthesia

Scars:
Small, circular scars (less than 1mm diameter) in FUE, and long, linear scar (15 to 30 cm in length) in FUT

  2. Graft extraction: Either grafts are extracted directly from the scalp using FUE or, in FUT, a strip of skin is removed from the scalp for harvesting the grafts.
  3. Site creation: Small incisions (0.5 to 0.9 mm in size) are created in the beard area for graft implantation.
  4. Graft implantation: Individual hair grafts are inserted into the pre-made incisions via implanter pens or forceps.

Under local anaesthesia, a motorised punch tool is used to score skin around individual hair grafts, which are then extracted using tweezers. Graft extraction can take 2 hours or so, depending on the number of grafts required. Afterwards, the donor area is bandaged.

Site Creation During Hair Transplant

Typically, metal or sapphire blades are used to create small incisions in the recipient area. Their sizes can vary from 0.6 to 1.2mm, depending on the size of the graft itself. Instead of pre-made incisions, Choi implanter pens can also be used for simultaneous site creation and graft implantation.

Graft Implantation During Hair Transplant

After site creation, harvested grafts are carefully handled with forceps and inserted back into the scalp to allow them to take root.

During my experience, I am happy with my hair transplant experience. The team were professional, supportive, and made the whole process smooth.

I recommend it to anyone who's willing to undergo the procedure. Top tier.

Great service start to finish from Longevita. From the moment I contacted them to discuss a hair transplant until the end of the process, they have been fantastic. Communication has been excellent throughout, answering any questions quickly and effectively, and the hospitality and service I received in Turkiye was fantastic.

I travelled to Istanbul from Ireland for a week for a hair transplant/holiday. All I was thinking about was all the negative things that could happen to me. On the second day, I was at the pool in my hotel and my patient coordinator contacted me. Her name was Elif Yildirim. She was absolutely brilliant with me, talked me through everything from transfers to the clinic and general chat about the transplant, etc. She was so calming, with excellent English, a calming conversation, bubbly, and made me feel so normal and actually quite excited about it. I met her on the day of my surgery at the clinic and the following day also for a clean-up. She actually ran through so many details with me about before and after treatment. I was left without any questions for her. She made my trip/holiday/treatment so welcoming and calming, I couldn't recommend her more highly. I hope people will get someone like this on their journey because, without her, I would have been lost. I couldn't thank her enough. She was a diamond and texted me every night after treatment to see how I was feeling.

From start to finish, my experience with Longevita London for my hair transplant was absolutely outstanding! From the very start, I was reassured and felt at ease, and everything was explained precisely. I was nervous at first but soon felt calm and relaxed. Every one of their staff are great, and the work they do is absolutely amazing! I'm now only two days into my transplant, and I feel so much better, more comfortable, and more confident within myself. It's made a massive difference to my life. I honestly can't thank you guys enough, and I can't wait to see the results already. Keep up the great work guys, you make such a big difference to people's lives. I'd definitely recommend Longevita to anyone wanting a hair transplant, and I've already had friends and family saying how impressed they are with the results. And that's already! Big thanks again, it's top stars from me, because you are simply the best! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"First-class experience. Currently writing this in the private first-class taxi back to the airport. Such a straightforward process since booking and then arriving in Istanbul. I was really well looked after during my time here: hotel, clinic, and the team who cared for me. Especially Elif, who was with me the whole time and translated everything into English. Now, just to wait for the results in 6-12 months."

"Update: I now have a full head of hair, and it’s changed my life completely!! Wow, what an incredible experience I’ve just had during my hair transplant in Turkey. At first, I was a little worried, but two weeks before the procedure I was given minute-by-minute support and an itinerary by Mert and the team. Before: On arrival from the airport, I was picked up in a private van and driven to a 5-star hotel in my own suite. My patient coordinator, Mert, helped me with the timings. During: An early start, my hairline was drawn on and we started the process. The team and doctor were incredible. I really enjoyed the whole day apart from the initial pain of the needles, but after that it was easy! After: Driven from the clinic for a check-up, straight to the airport for my flight home. Incredible experience, thank you all so much!"

I had my hair transplant arranged by Longevita, and the whole process was smooth and professional from start to finish. Airport, hotel, and clinic transfers were all well-organised, and every question I had was answered quickly. The surgeon designed my hairline perfectly, and the surgical team was friendly and reassuring. Huge thanks to my coordinator, Yigit Tasdemir! He arranged everything and continued to support me even after I returned to the UK. I highly recommend Longevita for anyone considering a hair transplant!

Turkey Hair Transplant FAQs

How much does a hair transplant cost in Turkey?

Hair transplants in Turkey average between £1,900 and £4,400 depending on the clinic, technique and number of grafts required – compared to a worldwide average of £2,200 to £11,000 for FUE.

Longevita’s prices start from £2,000, inclusive of surgery at an independent clinic, hotel accommodation, airport transfers, medication and recovery support.

Yes, when you choose a reputable, accredited provider.

Turkey performs more hair transplants than any other country and Istanbul’s leading clinics operate to internationally recognised standards.

Longevita arranges hair transplants exclusively in accredited independent clinics in Istanbul. Longevita is UK-registered and has served over 40,000 clients from 100+ countries since 2012, with over 3,500 5-star reviews.

Turkey – and Istanbul in particular – became the global hub for hair transplants due to the high volume of procedures performed, the resulting concentration of specialist clinicians, and prices that are a fraction of those in Western countries.

Istanbul clinics perform tens of thousands of transplants per year, giving surgeons a depth of experience that is difficult to match elsewhere.

Combined with inclusive treatment plans, covering surgery, accommodation and transfers, Turkey offers exceptional value without compromising on clinical quality.

Treatments arranged through Longevita typically include: the surgical procedure (FUE, DHI or Sapphire FUE) at an independent clinic, hotel accommodation, airport and clinic transfers, and post-operative medication. A dedicated Longevita team supports your journey from initial enquiry through to your return home, coordinating logistics and helping you stay in contact with your independent clinical team during recovery.

Once your consultation is complete and your procedure is booked, Longevita’s travel team will assist with your trip.

Istanbul is served by direct flights from most major UK airports, with journey times of approximately 3.5 – 4 hours.

Your price includes airport transfers to your hotel and clinic.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) extracts individual grafts and implants them into recipient sites made with a steel blade.

Sapphire FUE uses a sapphire-tipped blade to create finer, more precise incisions, reducing trauma and enabling higher density results.

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) uses a Choi implanter pen to place grafts directly without pre-made incisions, giving the treating clinician greater control over angle, depth and direction for a natural hairline.

All three techniques can be arranged by Longevita in independent, accredited clinics.

The number of grafts depends on your degree of hair loss (assessed using the Norwood Scale), your donor area density, hair characteristics and desired coverage.

Most hair transplants arranged by Longevita in Istanbul require between 2,500 and 4,000 grafts. Your exact graft count is confirmed during a free consultation with a specialist, based on photographs or a video assessment.

The independent clinician arranged through Longevita will offer the maximum number of grafts in a single session at no additional cost.

Many people find they can return to desk-based work within 3–5 days of surgery. Redness and scabbing in the recipient area typically resolves within 10–14 days. Transplanted hairs shed at 2–4 weeks — this is a normal part of the process. New growth typically begins around months 3–4, with the majority of results visible by month 9 and full results at 12–18 months.
