A hair transplant in Turkey involves moving suitable follicles from a stable donor area to parts of the scalp or face where greater coverage is required. The result depends less on choosing the highest graft number and more on correct diagnosis, donor preservation, design, extraction and placement.
Este Medical Group treats international patients at its Istanbul clinic and provides online photograph review, treatment planning, travel coordination and follow-up support. The most appropriate option may be FUE, DHI or a specialist plan for female, Afro-textured, beard or eyebrow restoration.

Derya Koroglu carries out the first review of photographs submitted online and supports the design and planning process. Dr Alaaddin Karabacak, MD, a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and Hair Transplant Surgeon, determines the final clinically appropriate graft number and is physically present to supervise every procedure. Derya Koroglu and Mesut Koroglu perform the relevant extraction and implantation stages, and Derya leads the follow-up assessment after treatment.
Dr Alaaddin’s profile states 35 years of experience and more than 9,000 performed procedures. Derya and Mesut are hair transplant specialists trained in anesthesia with experience in FUE, Sapphire, DHI, extraction and implantation.
Este Medical Group are UK’s leading skin and hair specialists, with more than 25 years of experience.

FUE describes the individual extraction of follicular units from the donor area. Sapphire FUE uses a sapphire blade during recipient-site creation where that approach is appropriate. DHI refers to implantation with an implanter device and may be considered when controlled placement between existing hairs is required.
No technique is automatically the best for every patient. The recommended plan depends on the cause and stability of hair loss, donor density, hair caliber and curl, the treatment area, existing hair and the number of grafts that can be removed safely.

At Este Medical Group, we elevate the standard of hair transplant Turkey services by offering:
Our Istanbul clinic is located in one of the world’s leading medical tourism destinations, where patients benefit from cutting-edge technology and internationally recognised expertise.


A transplant may be considered for adults with stable pattern hair loss, a receding hairline, localized thinning, suitable scarring or a previous transplant that requires careful review. A strong and stable donor area is essential.
Treatment may need to be postponed or declined when hair loss is still changing rapidly, the donor area is diffusely thin, an active scalp condition is present, the cause has not been assessed or the requested density would place the donor area at risk. Women with diffuse thinning and patients with possible traction or scarring alopecia may require further assessment before surgery is considered.

Every patient receives a tailored treatment plan based on their hair type, pattern of loss, and long-term goals.
At Este Medical Group, we specialise in the most advanced and effective hair transplant methods available today.
FUE is one of the most popular hair transplant techniques in Turkey. It involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area and implanting them into thinning or balding areas.
Benefits of FUE:
This technique is ideal for patients looking for a discreet, highly effective solution to hair loss.

DHI is a more advanced evolution of FUE, using a specialised implanter pen to place follicles directly into the scalp.
Key advantages of DHI:
This technique is widely regarded as one of the most advanced hair restoration methods available today.
A hair transplant in Turkey can be suitable for both men and women experiencing:
During your consultation, our specialists assess your donor area, hair density, and long-term expectations to determine the best treatment approach.

We understand that travelling abroad for treatment can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created a seamless, fully supported process.

The price depends on the clinically appropriate graft requirement, technique, treatment complexity and package inclusions. Este provides an individual quotation after reviewing photographs and confirming the plan. For a detailed explanation, check out the dedicated Turkey hair transplant cost page.
Safety depends on the clinic, clinical oversight, patient suitability, hygiene standards and aftercare. Este operates from its Istanbul clinic under International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate AK-0373. Patients should still discuss their medical history, risks and travel plans before treatment.
Many procedures take several hours, but the duration varies with graft number, technique and complexity. The expected duration should be confirmed in the individual treatment plan.
Transplanted follicles are selected from a more stable donor area and may provide long-lasting growth when they establish successfully. Existing non-transplanted hair may continue to thin, so long-term planning remains important.
Temporary shedding can occur before new growth begins. Early growth may become visible after several months, with more noticeable change around 6 to 9 months and fuller maturation around 12 months. Timelines vary by patient and treatment area.
Local anesthesia is used to numb the treatment areas. Patients may feel discomfort during numbing and can experience tenderness or sensitivity during early recovery.
There is no universal graft number. Dr Alaaddin Karabacak determines the final clinically appropriate number after the donor area, hair-loss pattern, treatment goals and long-term donor safety have been assessed.
The required stay depends on the appointment schedule, procedure and post-treatment review. International patients should follow the itinerary confirmed in their treatment plan rather than booking around a generic minimum stay.
FUE does not create the long linear scar associated with strip surgery, but individual extraction sites still heal with tiny marks. Their visibility depends on extraction, healing, hair length, skin characteristics and donor management. DHI describes implantation and does not make a procedure scar-free.
Yes, some women may be suitable, particularly where hair loss is stable and the donor area remains strong. Diffuse thinning, hormonal causes, active scalp disease and scarring alopecia may require further assessment before surgery. See the dedicated female hair transplant Turkey page.
A quotation may include treatment, consultation, accommodation, transfers, translation, aftercare products, the first wash and remote follow-up. The written quotation should identify exactly what is included, optional or excluded.
Check the clinic’s authorization and address, who reviews and performs each stage, the doctor’s involvement, donor-area planning, real patient cases, risk information, package terms and the follow-up available after you return home.
Many international patients travel alone when transfers, accommodation and clinic support have been arranged. Patients should still consider their personal medical needs, the early recovery period and the clinic’s contact process after treatment.
