1. Preparation: Your arrival in Istanbul
After you arrive in Istanbul, a VIP shuttle picks you up and takes you directly to the largest hair clinic in the world.
Your stay begins with a quick blood test as part of our exclusive Pre-Test System, conducted by experienced specialists.
Afterward, you relax in your luxurious Elit-Hotel room or explore Istanbul.
The next morning, additional tests follow — including a hair analysis with the TrichoLab Scanner and an ultrasound examination of the scalp. Once all tests are complete, the next phase begins: your hair treatment.
2. The treatment: pain-free and personalized
Your hair transplant begins with our innovative Sleep-Deep method, which puts you into a 15-minute deep sleep. This means the local anesthetic is delivered completely pain-free.
Next, our team extracts your hair follicles using the gentle FUE technique. The grafts are stored in a nutrient solution to preserve their vitality.
The transplant is then performed using the technique best suited to your hair condition — personalized for you and discussed with your specialist in advance.
3. The day after: aftercare and your trip home
The day after your hair transplant, our specialists perform a thorough quality check and walk you through how to manage the treated areas during the recovery phase.
You receive all essential aftercare products and medications, plus personalized aftercare instructions. After only 72 hours on site, you can comfortably head home — ready for your new hair growth.

FAQ
How does the hair transplant procedure work?
During your hair transplant, the procedure starts with sedation using the Sleep-Deep method. This puts you into a 15-minute deep sleep so the specialists can administer the local anesthetic and the entire treatment is 100% pain-free.
Next, our specialists extract follicular units one by one from the donor area using the FUE method.
Then the hair channels are opened and the harvested follicles are implanted into the bald areas — and the hair grows back.
How long does the hair transplant procedure take?
The duration of a hair transplant depends on how many grafts you need.
The length also depends on which technique is used. On average, a hair transplant takes 6–8 hours.
Is the procedure the same for every patient?
Yes, the same sequence applies to every patient. Our experienced teams are specialized in every single step of the hair transplant procedure, which guarantees consistently great results.
The one exception is the DHI method, where channel opening and graft implantation happen in the same step.
Are there breaks between the treatment steps?
Of course. Even though it’s a straightforward procedure, you can take a break whenever you need one.
In most cases, you’ll have a chance to take a break after graft extraction from the donor area. You can also reach out to our specialists at any point during the treatment, so a spontaneous break is never a problem.
