FUE hair transplant for patients from Germany

FUE is the method that can cover larger bald areas in one session. For patients from Germany we organise the whole stay in Istanbul – from photo analysis to aftercare at home.

FUE hair transplant: implanting grafts, below extraction and grafts in the dish

Every year many people travel from Germany to Istanbul for a FUE hair transplant. Flight time from Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart, Dortmund, Leipzig and Essen is between 2 h 35 min and 3 h 15 min.

Statutory and private health insurers in Germany usually do not cover cosmetic hair transplants. So you pay yourself – and with us a fixed price that already includes hotel, transfers, support and aftercare.

How FUE works

In Follicular Unit Extraction our head surgeon removes follicle groups individually from the safe donor area at the back of the head. This zone is genetically largely resistant to hereditary hair loss – which is why transplanted hair keeps growing in its new place.

All about FUE hair transplant

Your stay

  1. Arrivals hall at Istanbul Airport
    Day 1

    Arrival

    Airport pick-up and drive to the hotel. In the evening your coordinator calls to go through the next day.

  2. Our head surgeon works on the patient’s hairline with magnifying loupes
    Day 2

    Analysis and procedure

    First comes a trichoscopy to analyse your hair and scalp, plus a blood test and an ECG. Then your individual hairline is drawn.

    This is followed by the extraction and implantation of the hair follicles. The procedure is carried out under sedation (“Sleep Deep”). Afterwards you receive a PRP treatment.

  3. Follow-up conversation with our head surgeon at the clinic
    Day 3

    Check-up, first hair wash and departure

    The head surgeon personally checks your donor and recipient areas and carries out the first hair wash himself. This is also included in the package.

    You then have your final consultation and receive all the medication and care products you need, with a detailed explanation of how to use them and of your aftercare.

    From the afternoon, after the final check-up, you can travel home.

Questions about this treatment

Does FUE leave scars on the back of the head?

It leaves tiny dot-like marks that are practically invisible after healing, even with short hair. There is no linear scar like with the older strip method.

How many grafts do I need?

That depends on the area and the density you want. Temples often need 1,500 to 2,500 grafts; top and crown quickly reach 3,500 and more. After your photo analysis we give you a concrete number.

What is sapphire FUE?

With sapphire FUE the channels are opened with sapphire blades instead of steel. The openings are smaller and smoother, which supports healing.

Does German health insurance pay for a hair transplant?

Usually not, neither statutory nor private insurance, as the procedure is considered cosmetic. Rare exceptions exist for hair loss after an accident or illness.
