Hair transplant into scars for patients from Germany

Scar tissue has less blood supply than healthy skin. For patients from Germany we organise the whole stay in Istanbul – from photo analysis to aftercare at home.

Every year many people travel from Germany to Istanbul for a scar 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.

Which scars are suitable

Most often we treat linear scars from the older strip method (FUT), scars after accidents or head surgery, and scars within the beard. Smaller burn scars can also be an option when the tissue is stable and mature.

All about Hair transplant into scars

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 hair really grow in a scar?

Yes, transplanted hair grows in mature scar tissue, though survival is slightly lower than in healthy skin. That is why we plan more loosely and, if needed, in two steps.

How old does the scar need to be?

At least twelve months. The tissue should no longer be red or sensitive.

Can a FUT scar be fully covered?

In most cases it becomes dense enough not to stand out at a normal hair length. With very short haircuts it may still be visible depending on its width.

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.
