The entire process, step by step.
From your first WhatsApp message to your flight home. Every step below was filmed with patients at our clinic.
Step 1: Send your photos on WhatsApp
Four photos are enough: front, top, crown and the back of your head. Our medical team replies with a graft estimate and a plan, free of charge.
I spoke with Mr. Yavuz on WhatsApp, and he responded to my questions with great care and addressed all my needs.

Step 2: Arrive in Istanbul
We pick you up at the airport and take you to your hotel. Plan to stay at least three days: arrival, operation day, then your first wash and check-up.
Then there will be a car transfer from the airport to the hotel. The hotel is also very clean and neat.

Step 3: Consultation and hairline design
Your new hairline is drawn on your head with a marker and checked with a digital caliper. You see the plan and agree to it before the procedure starts.
Since I only had a partial procedure, I was able to clearly feel how detailed they were in everything they did.

Step 4: Operation day
Local anaesthesia, then extraction and implantation. Plan for a full day: FUE usually takes 6 to 8 hours, DHI 8 to 10.
The more painful part is the anaesthesia. And then I felt almost nothing. I even wanted to fall asleep for a while.
Yu Sheng, TaiwanWatch this moment (1:03) 
Step 5: First wash and aftercare
On day three your first hair wash and a check-up take place at the clinic. You fly home with aftercare instructions, and we stay in touch on WhatsApp for at least a year.
After the surgery they sent us back to the hotel, and the following day they took us back to the clinic again for post-operative care and hair washing.

Step 6: Growth
New hair starts to grow at around three to four months. The change is clear at six to eight months, and the final result shows at 12 to 18 months.

Questions
If your question isn’t answered here, send it to us on WhatsApp.
Ask on WhatsAppWhich methods are used for hair transplant surgery?
We offer several advanced hair transplant methods, including FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), Sapphire FUE, DHI (Direct Hair Implantation), Female Hair Transplant, No Shave Hair Transplant, and Beard Transplant. Each method is chosen based on your specific needs and hair loss pattern.
Which hair transplantation method is the best method?
The best method depends on your individual needs, hair loss pattern, and goals. FUE is the most popular due to its natural results and minimal scarring. DHI offers the highest precision and density. Our expert surgeons will recommend the best technique for your specific case during consultation.
What is the difference between FUE and DHI?
FUE extracts follicles and creates channels before implantation, while DHI uses a Choi Implanter Pen for direct implantation without pre-made channels. DHI offers more precision and density but takes longer. Both methods provide excellent, natural results.
Is the hair transplant procedure painful?
With our advanced pain-free anesthesia system, you'll experience minimal to no discomfort during the procedure. Most patients report only mild soreness for 1–2 days after surgery, which is easily managed with prescribed medication.
Will I be asleep or awake during the hair transplant operation?
You will be awake during the procedure but completely comfortable. We use local anesthesia to numb the donor and recipient areas, and you can watch movies, listen to music, or even take breaks as needed. The procedure is painless and relaxing.
How many hours does the hair transplantation procedure take?
The duration depends on the technique and the number of grafts. FUE procedures typically take 6–8 hours, while DHI can take 8–10 hours. We ensure you're comfortable throughout the entire process with breaks as needed.
How long do I need to stay in Turkey?
For a hair transplant procedure and its successful completion, our patients are required to stay in Istanbul for a minimum of three days: Day 1: Airport pick-up and rest in your 5-star hotel. Day 2: Doctor's consultation and transplantation surgery. Post-operative transfer to hotel after the procedure. Day 3: First post-operative professional wash and doctor's check-up.
Should you cut your hair before hair transplant surgery or will we have your hair cut at the clinic?
We will handle all hair cutting at our clinic on the day of the procedure. Our experienced team will cut your hair in the most appropriate way for the chosen technique. For no-shave procedures, minimal cutting is required. You don't need to cut your hair beforehand.
Is it necessary to cut your hair during hair transplant surgery? Should it be a complete haircut?
With traditional FUE, we need to shave the donor area for better access. However, we offer a No Shave Hair Transplant technique that requires minimal or no shaving, allowing you to return to normal activities immediately. The choice depends on your preference and hair loss pattern.
When will I see the results of hair transplantation?
Initial growth begins at 3–4 months, with significant improvement visible at 6–8 months. Final results are typically achieved at 12–18 months post-procedure, revealing your full, natural-looking hair transformation.
Is hair transplantation result permanent?
Yes, hair transplant results are permanent. The transplanted hair follicles are taken from the donor area (usually the back of the head) which is genetically resistant to hair loss. These follicles will continue to grow naturally for a lifetime.
What is the success rate of hair transplantation?
Our success rate is over 95% with proper post-operative care. The transplanted hair follicles are permanent and will continue to grow naturally for a lifetime, as they're taken from the donor area resistant to hair loss.
Can women have hair transplants?
Yes, we specialize in female hair transplants using techniques that preserve existing hair while adding density. Women often achieve excellent results, especially for hairline restoration and crown thinning. Our female-specific approach ensures natural-looking results.
When can I return to work after the procedure?
Most patients can return to desk work within 2–3 days. For physical jobs, we recommend 1–2 weeks off. With our no-shave technique, you can return to work immediately as the procedure is completely discreet.
