FUE Hair Transplant in Turkiye

Follicular unit extraction (FUE), including Sapphire FUE, at partner clinics in Turkiye.

About FUE Hair Transplant

In an FUE hair transplant, individual hair follicles are removed one at a time from the donor area, usually the back and sides of the head, and implanted into small openings made in the thinning or bald area. Because follicles are taken individually, there is no long linear scar, although tiny dot-like scars remain in the donor area.

Sapphire FUE is the same technique with one difference: the openings for the grafts are made with sapphire-tipped blades rather than steel ones. The procedure is usually done under local anaesthetic and takes most of a day.

Who it may suit

Pattern hair loss where the donor area at the back and sides still has healthy, dense hair.
People whose hair loss has started to stabilise. A transplant doesn't stop hair loss in other areas.
The doctor reviews your photos and examines your scalp before confirming whether you're suitable and how many grafts are realistic.

How long you'll stay in Turkiye

Most patients stay 2 to 3 days after the procedure, so the clinic can check the grafts and show you how to do the first wash before you fly home.

Recovery & aftercare

Typical timings. Your doctor will give you a personal plan.

First few days: Redness, scabbing and some swelling of the forehead are common.
First 2 weeks: Many people take 1 to 2 weeks off work. Treat the transplanted area very gently while the scabs come away.
After a few weeks: The transplanted hairs often fall out. This is expected.
Around 4 months: New hair starts to grow.
10 to 18 months: The full result should be visible.

Once you're home

Follow the clinic's washing routine exactly and use only the products it gives you.
Don't scratch or pick at the scabs.
Cut down on exercise in the first month, and avoid swimming and strong sun on your scalp until the clinic says it's fine.
Contact the clinic if you have severe pain, spreading redness, discharge or a fever.
Send progress photos at your check-in points so the clinic can review your growth.

Risks to know about

Every procedure carries risks. These are some of the main ones. The treating doctor will explain the risks that apply to you before you give your consent.

Bleeding, infection or an allergic reaction to the anaesthetic.
Some grafts not taking, so the result is less dense than you hoped.
Noticeable scarring in the donor or transplanted area.
Continued thinning of your natural hair around the transplant, which may mean you want further treatment later.

Frequently asked questions

Is Sapphire FUE better than standard FUE?

It's a variation of the same technique that uses a different blade to make the openings. Which approach suits you is the doctor's decision after reviewing your hair and scalp.

How many grafts will I need?

It depends on the size of the area, how dense you want the result and how much donor hair you have. The planner lets you pick a range from a hair-loss diagram, and the clinic confirms after reviewing your photos.

When will I see the final result?

New hair usually starts growing around 4 months after the procedure, and the full result should be visible after 10 to 18 months.
