Long DHI hair transplant for patients from Austria

With Long DHI the grafts are extracted and implanted at their full hair length. For patients from Austria we organise the whole stay in Istanbul – from photo analysis to aftercare at home.

Man with dense hair and a natural hairline, the starting point in the circle

Every year many people travel from Austria to Istanbul for a Long DHI hair transplant. Flight time from Vienna, Graz and Linz is between 2 h 5 min and 2 h 20 min.

The ÖGK and private insurers in Austria 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.

Who Long DHI is for

Many of our patients from Germany, Austria and Switzerland work with clients or simply want to keep the procedure to themselves. Long DHI is made for that: you fly out with your hairstyle and fly home with it.

All about Long DHI 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

Is Long DHI really invisible?

Redness and small scabs happen with Long DHI too, but the long hair covers them. Most patients go about daily life unnoticed after two or three days.

How long does my hair need to be?

About two to three centimetres in the donor and recipient areas is ideal. Send us a current photo and we will tell you whether it works.

Why is Long DHI more demanding?

Each graft is extracted, prepared and implanted with a long shaft without damaging the surrounding hair. That takes longer and needs more experience in the team.

Does the ÖGK cover a hair transplant?

Usually not, as it counts as a cosmetic procedure. Exceptions are rare and concern hair loss after accidents, for example.

Send photos for analysis

Send us four photos. You will get a medical assessment with method, graft count and fixed price, usually within 24 hours.
