Question 1

What is FUE Sapphire, and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

FUE (follicular unit extraction) moves individual hair follicles from the donor area — the back and sides of your head — into thinning areas, one by one, using fine micro-tools. The Sapphire variant opens the implantation channels with sapphire-tipped blades, which allows precise placement and minimal scarring. The follicles are placed following the angle and direction of your natural hair growth.

Question 2

Am I a good candidate for a hair transplant?

Accepted Answer

Most people with thinning hair or a receding hairline are candidates, as long as there's enough healthy donor hair at the back or sides of the head. The reliable way to find out is a free photo assessment — send us a few photos and we'll tell you honestly, including if the answer is no.

Question 3

Do you also treat women?

Accepted Answer

Hair loss patterns in women differ from men's, so this is genuinely case-by-case — we won't promise anything before the medical team has seen photos. Send us a few pictures and you'll get a straight answer about whether the procedure makes sense for your situation.

Question 4

Is the result permanent?

Accepted Answer

In general, yes — that's the core idea of the method. Donor hair from the back and sides of the head is genetically resistant to the hormone that causes pattern baldness, and it keeps that resistance after being moved. The transplanted hair sheds around months 1–2 (normal "shock loss") and then regrows permanently.

Question 5

Is there an age limit?

Accepted Answer

There's no single cutoff we can quote honestly — suitability depends on your hair loss pattern, its stability, and your health, which is exactly what the blood analysis and pre-op consultation check. If you're unsure whether your age is an issue, ask us; the assessment costs nothing.

Question 6

How much does it cost, and what's included?

Accepted Answer

€1,750, all-inclusive and fixed. It covers blood analysis and the pre-op consultation, the FUE Sapphire procedure, 2 nights / 3 days hotel with breakfast, round-trip VIP airport transfer, PRP treatment, a one-month supply of medical shampoo, serum and vitamins, and the complete post-op medication package.

Question 7

What is NOT included?

Accepted Answer

Your flight to Istanbul — you book it yourself once your surgery date is confirmed, and we help you plan the timing. Personal expenses during your stay, like meals beyond the hotel breakfast, are also yours. That's the complete list.

Question 8

Does the price depend on how many grafts I need?

Accepted Answer

No. €1,750 is a fixed price, the same for every patient — it doesn't change based on graft count or the extent of your hair loss. That's deliberate: with per-graft pricing, the final cost depends on a number you can't verify yourself.

Question 9

Are there any hidden costs?

Accepted Answer

No. The price is confirmed to you in writing before you book your flight, and it doesn't change on arrival. If any provider — including us — can't put the total in writing upfront, treat that as a warning sign.

Question 10

How does payment work?

Accepted Answer

In cash, directly at the hospital, on the day of your procedure. You don't pay us anything — our coordination is compensated by the partner hospital.

Question 11

Do I need to pay a deposit or anything online?

Accepted Answer

No. There's no deposit and no online payment at any point. Your reservation is confirmed by sending us your flight ticket, and the only payment happens at the hospital on procedure day.

Question 12

How do I book a date?

Accepted Answer

Three steps: start with the free photo assessment; once we agree on a surgery date, book your flight to Istanbul; then send us the ticket — that's what confirms your reservation. Nothing is paid until you're at the hospital.

Question 13

How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?

Accepted Answer

2 nights / 3 days. Day 1 is blood analysis and consultation, day 2 is the procedure, and on day 3 you return for a hair wash and final check-up before your flight home.

Question 14

Do I need a visa for Turkey?

Accepted Answer

That depends on your nationality — many travelers enter visa-free or with a simple e-visa, but rules change, so always check the official requirements for your passport before booking. We help you plan the timing of the trip either way.

Question 15

Can I bring someone with me?

Accepted Answer

Usually the practical questions are about the hotel room and transfers, and the honest answer is: ask us first. Tell us you'd like to bring a companion and we'll confirm with the hospital exactly what's covered and what would cost extra — in writing, before you book anything.

Question 16

When should I book my flight?

Accepted Answer

Only after your surgery date is agreed and the package price is confirmed to you in writing. Never book flights on the strength of a verbal promise — from us or anyone else.

Question 17

What happens, day by day?

Accepted Answer

Day 1: VIP transfer from the airport, hotel check-in, then blood analysis and your pre-op consultation at the hospital. Day 2: the procedure — follicles are extracted from your donor area and placed into thinning areas. Day 3: you return to the hospital for a hair wash and check-up, get your care instructions for the first month, and fly home.

Question 18

How long does the surgery take?

Accepted Answer

Roughly 7–8 hours. It's a full day — you'll have breaks, and you're awake throughout.

Question 19

Does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

The procedure is done under local anesthesia: you're awake, but the treatment area is fully numbed. The hospital's own description is minimal pain — most discomfort patients report is about sitting still for a long day rather than pain.

Question 20

Why is blood analysis done first?

Accepted Answer

To confirm you're fit for the procedure before anyone operates. It's a basic safety step — surgery only goes ahead after the analysis and the pre-op consultation.

Question 21

When can I fly home?

Accepted Answer

The day after your procedure, once you've been back to the hospital for the hair wash and final check-up. The whole trip fits in 2 nights / 3 days.

Question 22

What are the rules for the first 10 days?

Accepted Answer

Avoid cigarettes, alcohol, coffee, intense exercise (gym, running), and sexual activity. All of these raise blood pressure or circulation, which risks bleeding while the new grafts settle in. The recovery period is those 10 days — after that, normal life resumes.

Question 23

When will I see results?

Accepted Answer

From day 10, the first new hairs start to show. Around months 1–2 the transplanted hair sheds — that's normal — then regrows permanently. Most patients see their full result at about month 12.

Question 24

My transplanted hair is falling out after a few weeks. Is something wrong?

Accepted Answer

No — this is "shock loss," and it's a completely normal part of the process. The follicles stay healthy under the skin; they shed the original hair shaft and then regrow permanently over the following months. It surprises almost everyone, which is why we say it early and often.

Question 25

What aftercare do I take home?

Accepted Answer

A full month's supply of medical shampoo, serum, and vitamins, plus the complete post-op medication package (antibiotics and other medication). At your final check-up, the team walks you through exactly how to care for your hair during the first month.

Question 26

Who answers my questions once I'm back home?

Accepted Answer

We do. Our team stays reachable throughout the 12 months your result grows in — and for medical questions, we relay them to the hospital's medical team and come back to you with their answer.

Question 27

Who are you — are you the clinic?

Accepted Answer

No. We're an independent patient coordination service. Every procedure is performed by our partner hospital's licensed medical team in Istanbul; we handle your assessment, planning, logistics, and support. We are not a medical provider and we don't give medical advice.

Question 28

How do you make money if the consultation is free?

Accepted Answer

Our partner hospital compensates us for coordination. You never pay us anything on top of the €1,750 package price — and being paid by one trusted partner, rather than auctioning your case to many clinics, is a deliberate choice.

Question 29

Where is the procedure performed?

Accepted Answer

In a full hospital setting in Istanbul — not a standalone shop. That's also why every patient starts with blood analysis: hospital protocol, before any surgery.

Question 30

What happens with my photos and personal data?

Accepted Answer

Your photos are used only to prepare your assessment — shared with the partner hospital's medical team for that purpose and nothing else. They are never published or used in marketing without your explicit written consent, and you can ask us to delete your data at any time.

Question 31

What if I get an assessment and then have doubts?

Accepted Answer

Then you don't go — that's the whole point of no deposit and no obligation. The assessment is free, the answer is honest even if it's "this isn't right for you," and nothing is owed until you're at the hospital on procedure day.
