Its hair services include hair transplantation performed with sapphire, unshaven, sedation-assisted and robotic techniques, as well as eyebrow and beard and mustache transplantation, hair mesotherapy, laser hair treatment and regenerative scalp protocols for hair loss.

Procedures Offered

FUE
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a minimally invasive hair transplant technique where individual hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area using a small circular punch tool. The harvested follicles are then carefully implanted into the balding or thinning areas of the scalp. This method leaves tiny, nearly invisible scars rather than a linear scar, resulting in faster healing and the ability to wear shorter hairstyles. Because of this, FUE is the most popular hair transplant technique today.

Hair transplant safety in Turkey

EnforcementLimited

Turkey has strict written rules for hair transplants, but checking that clinics follow them is weak.

Turkey has no government website where you can search for your doctor and check they are licensed to operate. You have to ask the clinic.
