    Arrival in Istanbul

    VIP transfer, 5-star hotel & interpreter

    From the moment you land, you are looked after. A VIP driver meets you at the airport for a private transfer to your hotel, and a dedicated interpreter stays with you so language is never a barrier between you and your surgical team.

    • Private VIP airport, hotel and clinic transfers
    • 4 or 5-star hotel accommodation, depending on your package
    • Dedicated interpreter and 7/24 patient support throughout your stay

    Procedure day

    Your operation in a single day

    On operation day your surgeon confirms the hairline design with you before the team begins. The procedure typically takes place over a single day under local anesthesia, with needle-free anesthesia options available for a more comfortable experience.

    • Pre-op check and personalised hairline design with your surgeon
    • Sapphire FUE or DHI performed by an experienced surgical team
    • Needle-free anesthesia options for added comfort

    Before you fly home

    Aftercare & booster kit

    Before departure you return for your first wash, where the team shows you exactly how to care for the transplanted area. You leave with an aftercare booster kit, your medications and clear, written instructions for the days ahead.

    • Guided first wash and scalp-care demonstration
    • Aftercare booster kit, medications and written instructions

    After you return

    Structured follow-up: Day 1 to Month 12

    Your care does not end at the airport. We stay in touch through a structured follow-up schedule, checking in as your hair grows and answering questions along the way — from the day after your procedure through the full growth cycle.

    • Scheduled check-ins from Day 1 and Week 1 onward
    • Progress reviews at Month 1, 3, 6 and 12
    • 7/24 channel to your patient coordinator whenever you need it

On arrival

Looked after from the moment you land

Istanbul can feel busy when you arrive. Your VIP transfer, hotel and interpreter mean you can simply focus on your procedure — everything else is taken care of.

VIP transfers

Private driver from arrivals to your hotel and clinic — no taxis to negotiate.

5-star hotel

Comfortable, central accommodation included in your all-inclusive package.

Dedicated interpreter

Clear communication with your surgical team in your own language.

7/24 support

A patient coordinator on hand throughout your stay in Istanbul.

Procedure day

One calm, well-organised day

On the day of your operation, the focus is entirely on you. Here is what makes the experience as comfortable as possible.

One-day procedure

Your Sapphire FUE or DHI session typically takes place over a single day, with breaks and a light lunch.

Needle-free options

Needle-free anesthesia options are available to support a more comfortable experience.

Surgeon-led design

Your hairline is designed with you and your surgeon before a single graft is placed.

Want the clinical detail on each method? Sapphire FUE and DHI are explained in full on their own pages.

After you return

Follow-up from Day 1 to Month 12

Growth happens gradually over roughly a year. We check in at each stage so you always know what is normal and what to expect next.

  1. Day 1

    First check-in after your procedure and answers to early questions.

  2. Week 1

    Review of healing and aftercare as the donor area settles.

  3. Month 1

    Early-phase check as transplanted hair sheds — this is expected.

  4. Month 3

    First signs of new growth are typically reviewed.

  5. Month 6

    Density continues to build; progress assessed together.

  6. Month 12

    Results typically mature around the one-year mark.

Results vary from person to person. Consult your doctor before any procedure.
