About the Clinic

SHIFT Hair Transplant is a hair transplant clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, focusing on hair, beard, and eyebrow treatments. The clinic offers a range of transplant techniques and selects one based on factors such as the patient's age, extent of hair loss, and hair and skin type, and it treats a limited number of patients per day. Before booking, it estimates the number of grafts and sessions required along with any limitations, and it continues follow-up contact after patients return home.

For international patients, the clinic arranges accommodation at selected Istanbul hotels, including the Marriott Sisli and The Central Palace, and provides private transfers between the airport, hotel, and hospital. Drivers collect patients on the day of the operation and return them to the hotel afterward, then collect them again within the following two days for a check-up and first hair wash, with an airport transfer arranged for the departure day.

Procedures Offered

FUT
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), also known as the "strip method," involves surgically removing a narrow strip of scalp from the donor area, typically the back of the head. The strip is then carefully dissected under a microscope to separate individual hair follicles, which are implanted into the recipient areas. While this technique leaves a linear scar that requires longer hair to conceal, it allows surgeons to harvest a large number of high-quality grafts in a single session, making it cost-effective for patients needing extensive coverage.
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.

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 surgeon and check they are licensed to operate. You have to ask the clinic.
