Hair Transplant (FUE/DHI) in Turkey

About This Treatment

Hair loss affects millions of people, yet for many it remains something they quietly live with rather than address — often because the options feel either too invasive, too expensive, or simply uncertain. Hair transplantation has changed that conversation significantly over the past decade, and Turkey has been at the centre of that shift, establishing itself as one of the world’s leading destinations for the procedure.

The two most widely used techniques today are FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation). In FUE, individual hair follicles are extracted from a donor area — typically the back of the scalp — and implanted into thinning or bald areas. DHI follows a similar principle but uses a specialised pen-like tool that implants follicles directly without the need to pre-open channels, allowing for more precise placement and often a faster healing time. Your specialist will recommend the most suitable technique based on your hair type, degree of loss and the result you’re aiming for.

Results are permanent. The transplanted follicles are taken from areas genetically resistant to hair loss, meaning they continue to grow naturally for life. Most patients see initial growth within three to four months, with full results visible at around twelve months. At Medivoyage, we work with clinics that have a consistent, documented track record — and we stay with you through every stage, from your first conversation to your final follow-up.

Both techniques use your own hair follicles and produce permanent results, but they differ in method and application. FUE involves extracting follicles and implanting them in two separate steps, making it well-suited for larger areas and higher graft counts. DHI uses a single-step implantation tool, offering greater precision and typically less surface trauma — it’s often preferred for hairline refinement or when existing hair needs to be preserved in the recipient area. Your specialist will assess your scalp and hair characteristics during consultation and recommend the approach most likely to achieve your goals.

This depends on the extent of your hair loss, your donor area density and the result you want to achieve. Most patients require between 1,500 and 4,000 grafts. A detailed assessment — including a scalp analysis — is carried out before any procedure, so you’ll have a clear, personalised picture before making any decisions.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so discomfort during the transplant itself is minimal. Afterwards, some tenderness and mild swelling around the forehead and donor area is normal for the first few days. Most patients return to desk-based work within two to three days. Strenuous activity and direct sun exposure are best avoided for a couple of weeks. Your clinic will provide clear written aftercare instructions, and our team is available if you have questions once you’re back home.

Transplanted hair typically sheds within the first few weeks — this is completely normal and expected. New growth begins around three to four months, with the majority of results visible by nine months and full maturity at twelve months. Because the transplanted follicles come from a donor area that is genetically resistant to hair loss, the results are permanent and grow naturally for life.

Start with a free consultation. Hair transplantation isn’t right for everyone — factors like active hair loss progression, insufficient donor density or certain health conditions can affect suitability or timing. Rather than guess, book a consultation and we’ll assess your situation properly. If transplantation isn’t the right fit for you right now, we’ll tell you honestly and discuss what alternatives might be worth considering, including PRP therapy.
