FUE Hair Transplant Turkey
Note: Hello Skin Clinic acts in a concierge capacity. We arrange your surgery with our partner medical facility and arrange your trip to Turkey.
What Is Follicular Unit Extraction?
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a widely used hair transplant technique that involves removing individual hair follicles from the donor area and placing them into thinning or bald spots on the scalp. Because it doesn’t involve removing a strip of skin, it leaves no linear scar and requires minimal recovery time.
FUE is suitable for most people with mild to advanced hair loss, and can be used on the scalp, beard, and eyebrows.

Procedure, recovery, risks and aftercare
What Happens During a FUE Hair Transplant?
During FUE, individual follicles are extracted using a tiny punch device. These are carefully placed into the thinning areas to match your hair’s natural flow. The procedure takes 6–8 hours under local anaesthetic.
What Does Recovery Look Like?
Recovery is usually quick. You might notice some swelling or redness for a few days, but most people return to work or normal routines within a week. Hair begins to grow from the new grafts around month three, with full results expected by 12 months.
Required Aftercare
You’ll be advised to avoid sweating, sun exposure, and washing the area for the first few days. We’ll provide everything you need for aftercare, including shampoo and check-in support.
Risks and Side Effects
Risks include minor discomfort, scabbing, or uneven growth — all uncommon with a skilled surgical team and proper aftercare.
