FUE Hair Transplant

What is this technique?

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is the gold standard hair transplant technique used by leading Istanbul clinics. Each follicular unit — containing 1 to 4 hairs — is extracted individually from the donor area at the back of the scalp using a micro-punch tool, then implanted into the thinning or bald zones. Because there is no strip of skin removed, FUE leaves only tiny circular scars that are virtually invisible once hair grows back. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and takes 6 to 8 hours depending on graft count. Most patients stay 3 to 4 nights in Istanbul and return to desk work within 5 to 7 days. Istanbul is recognised as the world capital of hair transplants. Clinics here perform thousands of procedures each year, meaning surgeons are highly experienced and operating standards are consistently high. Vellorian Hair works exclusively with JCI-accredited and Ministry of Health-certified clinics in Istanbul where FUE is performed by qualified surgeons — not technicians. We coordinate your flights, airport transfer, hotel, and all clinic visits in a single package so you can focus on your results.

Who is it best for?

• Men with Norwood scale 2–5 hair loss, or women with diffuse thinning who have sufficient donor density
• Patients who want precise hairline design with minimal donor scarring and a natural-looking result
• Those seeking a short procedure window — 3 to 4 days in Istanbul including consultation, surgery, and first wash
• UK and European patients seeking clinical excellence with full support and coordination throughout their Istanbul journey
