Hair transplant for men in Turkey
Dr Cinik excels in treating male pattern baldness at all stages of the Norwood scale. He treats receding hairlines by precisely reconstructing the temporal gulfs, adapted to the patient’s age and features. For advanced baldness, he combines different extraction and implantation methods.
Each operation is preceded by an in-depth analysis, anticipating the future development of the baldness.
Complementary treatments such as PRP are systematically proposed to optimise results.

The price of an Hair Transplant in Turkey vs UK
Detailed Comparative Analysis
Turkey, particularly Istanbul, has established itself as the world’s leading destination for hair transplants, surpassing the UK in many respects. Dr Cinik, the symbolic figure of Turkish excellence, perfectly illustrates the advantages of choosing Turkey for your hair transplant.
Expertise and Volume of Operations
In Turkey, particularly in İstanbul, surgeons like Dr Cinik perform a considerable number of hair transplants yearly. This intensive practice enables them to refine their techniques and acquire unrivalled expertise. With more than 20,000 operations under his belt, Dr Cinik has experience that few British surgeons can match. This advanced specialisation translates into an exceptional mastery of the most complex cases and an ability to achieve natural, dense results.
State-of-the-Art Technology and Techniques
Turkish clinics are at the forefront of innovation, investing heavily in the latest technology. Dr Cinik routinely uses advanced techniques such as Sapphire FUE and DHI, offering superior results in density and naturalness. These minimally invasive methods allow for faster recovery and virtually invisible scars. Although these techniques are available in the UK, they are not systematically offered in all clinics.
Exceptional Value for Money
One of Turkey’s significant advantages is its unbeatable value for money. Dr Cinik’s clinic offers all-inclusive packages from £2,000, including the operation, accommodation in a 5-star hotel and transfers. In the UK, prices can easily reach £10,000 or more for a comparable quality of care without including ancillary costs. This price difference gives many patients access to high-quality care that would be out of reach in their home country.
An Impeccable Patient Experience
The concept of medical tourism in Turkey goes beyond simple medical intervention. Dr Cinik and his team offer a complete patient experience, including personalised support from start to finish. Patients benefit from VIP care, a dedicated interpreter, and the opportunity to discover İstanbul, a city rich in history and culture. This holistic approach helps to reduce the stress associated with the operation and transform the medical stay into an enriching experience.
Innovative Post-Operative Follow-up
Contrary to popular belief, the post-operative follow-up offered by Turkish clinics such as Dr Cinik’s is often more comprehensive than that provided in the UK. Thanks to advanced telemedicine systems, patients benefit from regular, personalised follow-up. Dr Cinik offers scheduled video consultations, 24/7 support via messaging applications, and detailed photographic checks to monitor regrowth progress.
Detailed Comparison Table
| Criteria | Turkey (Dr Cinik) | UK |
|---|---|---|
| Average cost | £2,000 – £3,500 (all inclusive) | £4,000 – £10,000 (excluding additional costs) |
| Specialisation | Advanced specialisation, more than 20,000 operations | General training, variable volume of operations |
| Techniques available | FUE, DHI, Sapphire FUE systematically offered | Advanced techniques are available but not systematic |
| Waiting time | Short (a few weeks) | Long (several months) |
| Post-operative follow-up | Intensive remote follow-up, 24/7 support | Less frequent face-to-face follow-up |
| Overall experience | Medical tourism organised stay | Traditional medical approach |
| Infrastructure | Ultra-modern dedicated clinics | General hospitals or multi-purpose clinics |
| Number of transplants | As many as possible | Generally limited to 2,500-3,000 |
| Duration of stay | 3-4 days (all organised) | Variable, personal management |
In conclusion, while the UK offers quality care, Turkey, particularly experts such as Dr Cinik, provides a unique combination of medical expertise, state-of-the-art technology, exceptional value for money and overall patient experience. These advantages make İstanbul the preferred destination for a successful hair transplant, attracting patients worldwide in search of optimal results.

Hair transplant techniques
Dr Cinik employs two advanced hair transplant techniques: FUE and DHI. These approaches provide natural, long-lasting results while minimising post-operative recovery time.
The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) method involves extracting individual follicular units using micro-punches less than 1 mm in diameter. This precision technique removes grafts one by one without leaving a linear scar. The follicles are then re-implanted into the recipient area at a carefully determined angle, depth, and density for optimum results.
The DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) method allows direct implantation of the grafts without any prior incision. The follicles are extracted and then immediately re-implanted using a unique DHI implanter instrument. This technique offers precise control over the direction, angle, and depth of implantation of each graft.
These techniques offer several major advantages, including highly natural results thanks to the precise implantation of hair follicles, rapid and discreet healing in the donor area, and simplified post-operative care for the patient. They also allow for grafting many grafts in a single session while ensuring optimum preservation of graft quality.
FUE
hair transplantation
The FUE technique is a cutting-edge method that allows hair to be extracted and implanted unit by unit with great precision. The surgeon meticulously determines the angle, depth, and density of the implant channels to ensure an exceptionally natural end result.
This high-precision surgical approach offers numerous advantages. Patients benefit from no linear scarring in the donor area and can enjoy rapid post-operative recovery. The technique also allows for wearing short hair after the operation, as the results are very natural thanks to single follicle implantation.

FUE
Extraction techniques
Manual extraction
Manual extraction uses a special punch manipulated by the surgeon to gently extract each follicular unit. This technique allows great precision and optimal control of the surgical gesture, allowing the surgeon to adapt the procedure perfectly to the specificities of each patient’s scalp.
The advantages of manual extraction are significant. It provides maximum control for the surgeon, allows for precise adaptation to the patient’s physiology, and ensures optimum preservation of graft integrity.
Micro punch extraction
Micropunch extraction uses a motorised punch with a very small diameter to remove the follicular units. This technique combines precision and speed, enabling a large number of grafts to be extracted in a minimum amount of time.
The main advantages of micro punch extraction include the rapid extraction of a large number of grafts, virtually invisible scarring after complete recovery, and preservation of follicular unit quality.
FUE implantation techniques
Implantation with Sapphire Blade
Implantation with a sapphire blade is a cutting-edge technique that makes it possible to obtain optimum capillary density. The use of a sapphire blade offers several advantages, including ultra-precise incisions for perfect implantation, accelerated healing thanks to the properties of sapphire, and natural results with high density.
This implantation technique is ideal for creating dense, natural hair, particularly in the frontal and temporal areas.
More on FUE SapphireDHI Hair Transplant
The DHI technique is an innovative method that allows follicles to be implanted directly without any prior incisions. The grafts are harvested and immediately re-implanted using a special instrument called the Choi Implanter.
DHI has numerous main advantages. It allows for direct implantation without incision, provides precise control of angle and depth, and offers the possibility of high density. Additionally, it reduces out-of-body time for grafts and promotes rapid healing.
The Choi Implanter is a sophisticated tool that gives the surgeon total control over the implantation process. It allows the angle, direction, and depth of each graft to be precisely defined for a perfectly natural result.

Regenera Activa Mesograft
The Regenera Activa mesograft is an innovative cell regeneration technique that normalises hair loss and stimulates regrowth. This method prevents rejection and optimises the results of hair transplants in Turkey. It uses the patient’s own stem cells to revitalise hair follicles and improve the quality of the scalp.
More about Stem Cells hair transplant
PRP Hair Treatment
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatment effectively combats androgenetic and diffuse hair loss. This non-invasive therapy uses the patient’s growth factors to naturally stimulate hair regrowth, particularly after a transplant. PRP improves scalp vascularisation and strengthens existing follicles.
More on PRP
Fractional Hair Laser treatment
Fractional laser treatment is a painless technique that stimulates hair regrowth while accelerating healing. This non-invasive method uses laser light to activate hair follicle stem cells, improve microcirculation, and encourage the production of new hair fibres.

Hair transplant in Turkey with Dr Cinik: our patients' results
Our patients before and after their hair transplantation.
Why is Turkey so famous for its hair transplants?
An ancestral hair culture
In Turkey, the beard, moustache, and hair is an art. A symbol of virility, male hair is a real asset. Therefore, it is natural that the country is a reference in the field of hair transplantation. Turkey is the first country to have resorted to hair transplant operations. Year after year, millions of men and women worldwide come to Istanbul to have hair transplants.
Clinics with the highest international standards
Turkey is equipped with renowned professionals, advanced technologies and very modern infrastructures that guarantee the safety and quality of the operation. The clinics are of the highest international standards, allowing each patient to be treated in the best conditions
Why perform your hair transplant in Istanbul at Dr Cinik?
Dr. Emrah Cinik is a surgeon specialising in hair transplant surgery. Entrusting your hair transplant to Dr. Cinik allows you to be in the hands of one of Turkey’s most renowned and respected surgeons and internationally.
What are the main side effects of a hair transplant?
As with any surgical procedure, hair transplantation in Turkey can be subject to side effects. These may include itching, bleeding, or temporary hair loss. These side effects are transient and do not generally hinder the return to daily life. To prevent the risk of infections and failure of the hair transplant, it is recommended to turn to a surgeon specialising in hair transplantation, such as Dr Cinik.
Is it risky to do your hair implants in Turkey?
Turkey is one of the safest countries in the world to have a hair transplant. Known around the world for the excellence of its surgeons, the country also enjoys the same high standards of care and infrastructure as British and European clinics. Planning your hair transplant in Turkey is the best choice you can make.
What is the success rate of a hair transplant at Dr. Cinik's?
Dr Cinik’s clinic is considered one of the most successful hair transplant centres in the world with quality, success rate and the number of patients.
How to prepare for a hair transplant?
To be well prepared for a hair transplant, it is essential to follow your surgeon’s recommendations. To benefit from a high-quality hair transplant, contact Dr. Cinik’s clinic. Our medical team will guide you through the steps necessary to prepare for your hair transplant.
What is the post-operative care?
Once the transplant is complete, the patient should follow the advice given by Dr. Cinik. Post-operative care is just as critical as the hair transplant itself. Following the surgeon’s recommendations is crucial to reduce the risk of infection and ensuring that the hair grows back properly.
What are the stages of regrowth?
If hair transplantation in Turkey is a solution to your complex, obtaining a denser head of hair takes several stages. Within ten days after a hair transplant, the patient will see scabs appear on his head. These scabs are perfectly normal and disappear independently after 8 to 10 days. After one month, shock loss is possible. This hair loss, which occurs in the periphery of the donor area or the grafted area, is temporary and normal. After 3 to 4 months, the grafts begin to grow back. After six months, the hair thickens, and the patient sees definitive results after one year.
What activities are prohibited after surgery?
After a hair transplant in Turkey, several activities should be avoided. It is necessary to avoid drinking alcoholic beverages, as alcohol alters the healing process. It is also recommended to avoid sports activities and not to wear headgear. A woollen cap can be worn after one month, as well as a construction helmet and a motorcycle helmet. Finally, it is imperative to avoid any sexual activity for ten days after the operation, and it is forbidden to swim for one month after the operation.
Is there any pain after the surgery?
It is rare to experience pain after the operation. Following a hair transplant, however, it is possible to experience discomfort or itching. These discomforts are temporary and disappear after a few days.
How to choose the right grafting technique?
FUE hair transplantation and DHI hair transplantation are distinguished by their effectiveness and the quality of the result obtained. The choice of the best technique depends on several factors. Only an experienced surgeon like Dr. Cinik can tell you which method is right for you.
How to determine the number of implanted grafts?
To determine the number of grafts needed to achieve the best result, the surgeon must examine the extent of the patient’s alopecia. Examining the donor area is also necessary to determine its quality and how many grafts can be taken from it.
