Dr Cinik’s precision follicular extraction technique for permanent and natural results
The procedure begins with comprehensive photographic documentation of your hair situation. These reference images allow for a precise before/after comparison and serve as the basis for strategic planning of your transplant. Throughout the process, photos are taken by the medical team to document each stage of your hair transformation.
This crucial phase consists of precisely defining the recipient areas to be densified and the donor areas for extraction. This meticulous mapping is carried out according to your personalised aesthetic goals, taking into account your facial morphology and prioritising optimal preservation of your donor area for potential future procedures.
The grafts are individually harvested from the donor area located in the occipital crown, naturally resistant to alopecia. Extraction is performed using a precision micro-punch (0.7-0.9mm) under local anaesthesia. This meticulous technique guarantees atraumatic extraction that preserves the structural integrity of each follicular unit.
Each follicular unit is meticulously sorted and categorised according to its morphology (1, 2, 3 or 4 hairs) to allow for strategic distribution. The grafts receive an enriched PRP treatment that enhances their viability by nourishing them with natural growth factors, significantly optimising their survival rate and the quality of subsequent regrowth.
Dr Cinik creates implantation micro-channels using a special blade (metal or sapphire depending on the chosen technique). The grafts are then implanted according to a personalised plan, meticulously respecting the natural growth angle, direction and density specific to each region of the scalp, thus ensuring a perfectly harmonious and undetectable result.
A specific care programme is provided by our medical team with detailed instructions regarding washing, sleeping and activities to avoid. This tailored protocol ensures optimal healing and protects the grafts during their integration phase, determining factors for the long-term success of your FUE transplant.
Dr Cinik’s clinic accompanies you throughout the regrowth process with regular personalised follow-up. Growth occurs in distinct phases: after the normal initial shedding, the first results become visible around the 3rd month, intensify at the 6th month, to reach their full expression after 12 months, revealing a dense and perfectly natural head of hair.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF FUE HAIR TRANSPLANTATION?
FUE hair transplantation offers numerous decisive advantages for patients seeking a lasting hair solution. It guarantees exceptionally natural results thanks to the precise implantation of each individual follicular unit. Post-operative traces are minimal, limited to micro-dots that are virtually undetectable even with short hair. The FUE technique presents unmatched versatility, effectively adapting to all degrees of alopecia, from mild cases to advanced baldness. Finally, it allows superior aesthetic control in creating a hairline and graft distribution perfectly harmonised with your physiognomy.
HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM ELIGIBLE FOR FUE HAIR TRANSPLANTATION?
Your eligibility for FUE transplantation is determined during a thorough diagnostic consultation with Dr Cinik or his medical team. This personalised assessment analyses several key factors: the extent and type of your alopecia, the density and quality of your occipital donor area, the elasticity of your scalp, and your general health status. Medical history, current treatments, and your aesthetic expectations are also taken into account. This comprehensive approach establishes your candidacy for FUE and develops a bespoke treatment plan, perfectly adapted to your specific situation. If necessary, alternatives or complementary treatments may be recommended to optimise your results.
DOES THIS TECHNIQUE LEAVE SCARS?
The FUE technique only generates circular micro-scars of 0.7-0.9mm, so discreet that they are virtually imperceptible, even with very short or shaved hair. Unlike the FUT method which leaves a visible linear scar, FUE allows patients to wear any hairstyle without fear of revealing signs of intervention. These cicatricial micro-dots are often impossible to detect, even by hairdressing professionals, and blend naturally into the scalp after complete healing. Dr Cinik’s expertise in performing atraumatic extractions further minimises any risk of visible marks, guaranteeing results of absolute discretion.
WHAT IS THE REGROWTH TIMEFRAME FOR TRANSPLANTED HAIR?
Regrowth after an FUE transplant follows a predictable biological timeline in several phases. After the procedure, the transplanted hair goes through a “resting” period and typically falls out between the 2nd and 4th week – a normal phenomenon called “post-operative shedding”. The first signs of new growth usually appear between the 3rd and 4th month, with the emergence of fine hair that progressively thickens. Significant improvement becomes visible around the 6th month, with increased density and length. The final result is established between 12 and 18 months post-procedure, during which time the transplanted hair reaches its full maturity in terms of diameter, density and texture. Dr Cinik provides personalised follow-up throughout this evolution, accompanying you at each stage of your hair transformation.
WHICH HAIR TYPES ARE SUITABLE FOR THE FUE METHOD?
The remarkable versatility of FUE transplantation makes it compatible with all hair types. Whether your hair is fine or thick, straight, wavy, curly or afro, the technique can be precisely adapted to achieve optimal results. Dr Cinik possesses particular expertise in treating each hair typology, with protocols specifically adjusted to the unique characteristics of straight, curved or spiral follicles. This adaptability allows for consistently harmonious and natural results, regardless of your ethnic origin or hair texture. Grey or white hair can also be successfully treated, simply requiring special technical attention during the extraction phase.
IS FUE MORE EFFECTIVE THAN DHI?
FUE and DHI are two cutting-edge techniques with specific advantages depending on your hair situation. Rather than ranking them in terms of absolute effectiveness, it is better to consider them as complementary. FUE excels in treating large areas and allows for transplanting a significant number of grafts in one session, with excellent cost/result value. DHI offers superior precision for specific areas such as the hairline, with slightly faster recovery but at a higher cost. Dr Cinik meticulously evaluates each case to recommend the most suitable technique, or sometimes even a combined approach, thus maximising results according to your specific needs and budget.
HOW LONG SHOULD I PLAN TO STAY IN TURKEY?
For an FUE hair transplant in Turkey with Dr Cinik, a stay of 3-4 days in Istanbul is generally recommended. The typical planning includes: day 1 – arrival and detailed preoperative consultation; day 2 – surgical procedure (average duration 6-8 hours depending on the number of grafts); day 3 – first supervised medical wash and personalised post-operative instructions. This optimised schedule covers all essential steps while minimising your time away from home. Our team perfectly coordinates your schedule, including airport-hotel-clinic transfers, for a stress-free experience. For patients wishing to combine their treatment with exploring Istanbul, we can adapt your schedule to integrate some light tourist activities after the second post-operative day.
Whether you’re suffering from partial or advanced alopecia, FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplantation represents the gold standard permanent solution for regaining a natural and dense head of hair. This cutting-edge microsurgical technique, perfected by Dr Cinik through thousands of procedures, adapts perfectly to the specific needs of both men and women seeking durable and aesthetic hair restoration.
The FUE protocol is based on a precise and proven methodology: the individual extraction of follicular units from the occipital donor area, naturally resistant to alopecia, followed by their strategic reimplantation in regions affected by baldness. This meticulous microsurgical approach enables exceptionally natural results without leaving the linear scars characteristic of older techniques.
The distinctive advantages of FUE are numerous and significant: superior aesthetic results perfectly integrated with your physiognomy, accelerated recovery allowing quick resumption of daily activities within 3-5 days, and minimal post-operative sequelae ensuring optimal comfort. This versatile technique adapts perfectly to all hair textures and effectively treats both targeted frontal areas and extensive regions of the scalp with exceptional surgical precision.
By choosing Dr Emrah Cinik for your FUE hair transplant in Turkey, you benefit from internationally recognised expertise and comprehensive personalised support, from the initial consultation to long-term post-operative follow-up. His in-depth mastery of the most advanced FUE techniques guarantees optimal results, perfectly adapted to your facial morphology and specific aesthetic goals.
The cost of hair transplantation can often seem prohibitive, particularly in Western Europe. However, by opting for a procedure in Turkey, you can achieve substantial savings of around 70%, without compromising on quality of care.
Istanbul has established itself as the world capital of hair transplantation, attracting patients from all over the globe thanks to the expertise of its surgeons and competitive rates. Dr Cinik, a leading figure in this hair revolution, offers all-inclusive packages at unbeatable prices.
For a classic FUE transplant, expect to pay £2,000 all-inclusive. If you opt for the more advanced Sapphire FUE technique, the rate rises to £2,500. Finally, to benefit from manual graft extraction, considered the most precise method, the package is £3,400.
These rates encompass not only the surgical procedure but also post-operative care, accommodation and transfers. You thus benefit from comprehensive care, with no hidden costs, for a serene and stress-free experience.
The choice between traditional FUE and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) depends on your specific hair situation. Dr Cinik conducts a thorough personalised assessment to determine the optimal technique in your particular case.
Classic FUE excels through its remarkable versatility to effectively treat large areas and allows transplantation of a large number of grafts in a single session. DHI, with its specialised implanter pen, can offer slightly superior density and microsurgical precision particularly advantageous for frontal areas requiring perfect definition.
Whichever method is selected for your case, Dr Cinik is committed to providing you with a detailed explanation of the specific advantages and characteristics of the recommended technique, ensuring a complete understanding of the process and thus guaranteeing optimal results perfectly aligned with your expectations.
The FUE technique presents decisive advantages over the FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) method. The major asset of FUE lies in its non-invasive approach that leaves only virtually imperceptible micro-scars, unlike FUT which generates a permanent linear scar that is often visible. Post-operative recovery is considerably accelerated with FUE, allowing a return to normal activities in just a few days, and post-operative discomfort is minimal.
FUE also offers results of superior naturalness thanks to precise placement of each individual follicular unit. This modern technique allows patients to wear any hairstyle, even very short, without risk of revealing traces of intervention. Dr Cinik exclusively favours this advanced approach to offer his patients a contemporary, effective and aesthetically superior solution to regain dense and natural hair.
No-shave FUE hair transplantation represents a sophisticated variant of the standard FUE technique, offered by Dr Cinik for specifically selected cases. This precision approach is particularly suitable for discreetly correcting a scalp scar, treating very localised mild alopecia, or meeting the needs of patients who cannot or do not wish to shave their head for professional or personal reasons.
This method allows immediate resumption of social activities without visible signs of intervention, thus eliminating the transitional period usually necessary after a conventional transplant. Dr Cinik meticulously evaluates each candidacy for this special technique, taking into consideration the extent of your hair loss, the density of your donor area and your specific aesthetic goals to determine if this exclusive option perfectly matches your situation.
Dr Cinik is a staunch advocate of manual graft extraction for decisive technical reasons. This premium method offers unmatched microsurgical precision and allows optimal preservation of the structural integrity of each follicle. The survival rate of grafts reaches significantly higher levels with this approach, potentially exceeding 95%, while allowing for exceptional qualitative selection of follicular units.
Unlike motorised extraction systems that apply standardised parameters, the manual approach instantly adapts to subtle variations in your donor area, allowing real-time adjustments according to the depth, angle and distribution of follicles. By opting for manual extraction, you invest in a truly personalised approach where each graft benefits from meticulous attention, guaranteeing optimal results and unmatched long-term satisfaction.
Turkey, and particularly Istanbul, has established itself as the global reference for hair transplantation thanks to a unique combination of major assets. The exceptional technical expertise of specialised Turkish surgeons, of whom Dr Cinik represents excellence, attracts patients from over 80 countries. Turkish medical establishments are equipped with ultra-modern infrastructures integrating the most advanced technologies in hair restoration.
The rates practised in Turkey offer unbeatable value for money, allowing considerable savings of 60-70% compared to UK prices, without any compromise on excellence of care.

Dr Cinik’s clinic offers all-inclusive packages including the surgical procedure, 4-5 star accommodation and all private transfers.
By choosing Dr Cinik in Istanbul for your FUE transplant, you benefit from recognised international expertise at an exceptionally advantageous rate, in a cutting-edge medical environment, while having the opportunity to discover a fascinating metropolis at the crossroads of European and Asian cultures.
