Restore Your Confidence with Precision Hair Restoration

Experience advanced, natural, and minimally invasive hair restoration through the FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique at International Plus, Turkey’s leading hair transplant center in Istanbul. Known worldwide for excellence in hair restoration, our clinic combines cutting-edge Sapphire Micro-FUE technology with expert surgical artistry to deliver permanent, natural-looking results for men and women facing hair loss.

❓What Is the FUE Hair Transplant Technique?

The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique is a modern, minimally invasive hair transplant method where individual hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area, usually the back of the scalp and transplanted into thinning or bald regions.

Each follicular unit, or graft, typically contains 2–3 hairs. This method ensures natural hairline design and precise graft placement with minimal scarring and downtime.

At International Plus, we use Sapphire Micro-FUE, a refinement of the classic FUE technique. Using sapphire-tipped blades instead of steel, surgeons create finer incisions, leading to faster healing, denser implantation, and better graft survival rates.

Key Benefits:

  • Permanent results after one session
  • Virtually scar-free and pain-free recovery
  • Natural-looking, dense hair growth
  • Suitable for men and women

🩺 Types of FUE Hair Transplant Techniques

✔️ Standard FUE (Micromotor FUE): Hair follicles are extracted with a micro-motor device and implanted into small incisions made in the recipient area. Ideal for large bald areas with strong donor density.

✔️ Sapphire FUE: Uses sapphire blades to open channels more precisely and safely. Enhances graft survival, reduces scarring, and offers faster healing.

✔️ Unshaven FUE (U-FUE): Perfect for patients who prefer to maintain existing hairstyles during the procedure. This technique extracts grafts without shaving the entire donor area.

✔️ Hybrid FUE + DHI: Combines the accuracy of FUE extraction with DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) for maximum density and refined hairline design.

🩺 Who Is a Good Candidate?

✔️ Men and women experiencing genetic, age-related, or stress-induced hair loss.
✔️ Individuals with sufficient donor hair at the back or sides of the head.
✔️ Those with baldness limited to specific areas (Norwood 2–6).
✔️ Patients who desire minimal downtime and no visible linear scar.
✔️ People in overall good health with realistic expectations about results.

Our specialists evaluate your hair density, pattern, and scalp health during consultation to design a fully customized transplant plan.

🩺 Consultation & Preparation

Before undergoing an FUE hair transplant in Istanbul, every patient receives a detailed consultation and pre-operative evaluation:

✔️ Hair analysis to assess graft quality and density.
✔️ Review of medical history and medications.
✔️ Patients are advised to avoid alcohol, smoking, and blood thinners at least 7 days before surgery.
✔️ The scalp and donor area are prepared, and anesthesia plan discussed.

This preparation ensures precision, comfort, and long-term graft survival.

🩺 Recovery & Aftercare

The recovery process after FUE hair transplant is smooth and predictable:

✔️ Minor redness and swelling may occur for 3–5 days.
✔️ Tiny scabs form around transplanted follicles but heal quickly.
✔️ Patients should avoid heavy exercise, swimming, and direct sun for 10–14 days.
✔️ A mild shampoo and aftercare lotion are provided for scalp cleansing.
✔️ Shedding of transplanted hair occurs naturally within 2–3 weeks—new growth starts by month 3–4.
✔️ Full, natural-looking results appear between 9–12 months.

Our medical team provides continuous support, including follow-up checks and personalized recovery guidance.

    I had a very good experience at this dental clinic. The service was excellent, and the staff were professional, friendly, and caring. I would especially like to thank Ahmad, who helped translate between me and the doctor. He was very kind, helpful, and made sure I understood everything throughout the process. I also want to thank Dr. Hussein for his professionalism and respect. He was very patient and always asked for my approval before doing anything, which made me feel comfortable and confident during the treatment. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for quality dental care and excellent customer service.

    I am here at the moment. Highly Recommended! From the moment I booked this with the lovely Mira I knew this was the place for me. She answers any questions,and I had, anytime of the day or night she was at hand, absolute star! I was assigned a planner (Robert) who took care of everything I needed, drivers, hotel, hospital appointment, everything. Thank you to you 2 especially. International Plus Dental Clinic was fantastic, I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment I walked in, the clinic felt warm, modern, and professional. The reception staff was friendly and efficient, and I was seen almost on time. The treatment was surprisingly comfortable, and the final result will look incredibly natural and strong. I have to go back in 3 months to get them fitted, but they supplied me with temps which are going to look amazing. What impressed me most: State-of-the-art equipment and very high hygiene standards Kind and caring staff who genuinely care about their patients. Professional language translators who were with me throughout the entire treatment process, ensuring smooth and stress-free communication Full organization of my stay: hotel booking, airport pickup to the hotel, and comfortable transfers between the hotel and clinic every day. Beautiful, clean, and calming clinic interior Excellent value for money compared to other clinics I’ve visited. I’m extremely pleased with the result! I will definitely recommend International Plus Dental Clinic to my family and friends, and I will be coming back for my regular check-ups. Thank you tothe whole team!
