We perform hair treatments carefully, with measured assessments, so you’ll feel the confidence boost you seek.
A hair transplant is particularly suitable for people with permanent hair loss, provided there are enough healthy hair follicles in the donor area.
People with hereditary hair loss, receding temples, a receding hairline or a thinning crown, provided the donor area has sufficient hair density.
People with diffuse hair loss, women considering a hair transplant, people with scars, or those who have already undergone a hair transplant or are dissatisfied with its results.
The key factors are hair density, the donor area and how hair loss is likely to progress—not age alone.

The exact number of grafts needed is individual and depends, among other things, on hair loss, hair density, hair structure, donor area and the desired result.

„What matters to me is that every patient goes home with a natural, aesthetic result – no compromises“, says Dr. Tosun.
Anyone planning a hair transplant in Turkey should consider more than just the price and results. What matters most is the medical setting in which the procedure is performed and how transparently the clinic, its standards, and the responsibilities of those involved are presented.
At MedHair Clinic, we therefore put the medical conditions under which treatment takes place at the heart of our approach. The following points show how to assess the safety of a hair transplant in Istanbul.
Your hair transplant takes place at Liv Hospital Vadistanbul — a modern private hospital in Istanbul.

JCI accreditation assesses, among other things, patient safety, infection control, and surgical and anesthesia procedures.
Verify JCI accreditation →
Liv Hospital Vadistanbul has an ISO 9001:2015-certified quality management system.
View certification →
The procedure is performed in a fully equipped hospital, rather than a separate beauty or hair transplant center.
Infection control, safe surgical procedures, and quality processes are among the areas assessed as part of JCI accreditation.
Liv Hospital Vadistanbul provides emergency medicine, anesthesiology, and resuscitation services as part of its hospital infrastructure.
Medical responsibility: Your treatment is planned by Dr. Vedat Tosun and his medical team. The technique, hairline, required number of grafts, and individual treatment steps are tailored to your individual circumstances.
Recovery after a hair transplant takes place gradually. While the scalp heals during the first few days, visible hair growth only begins several months later. The exact timeline can vary from person to person.
Redness and mild swelling may occur. The newly implanted grafts need particular care and protection.
The small scabs in the transplant area gradually begin to loosen and fall off.
Some of the transplanted hairs may temporarily shed. The hair follicles remain in the scalp.
The first new hairs may become visible and gradually begin to grow.
Hair growth becomes increasingly noticeable, and the transplant areas appear denser.
Hair density and texture continue to develop, and the results become increasingly visible.
The healing and hair growth process varies from person to person. Its timing and pace can depend on factors such as hair texture, the size of the treated area, and the body’s individual healing response.
Medhair Hair Transplantation Turkey Clinic provides a high-quality hair transplantation experience to our valued patients with its first-class hair transplantation service and quality.
Hair transplant costs are generally not covered by German health insurance, so patients must pay for the procedure themselves. The average price per graft in Germany is €3.29, compared with just €0.57 in Turkey. MedHair offers you top-quality medical care at significantly lower prices.
In Germany, waiting times at clinics offering hair transplants often range from a few weeks to several months. Turkey has become a hub for medical tourism, particularly for hair transplants. With a large number of clinics and doctors available, demand can be met more effectively, resulting in shorter waiting times.
Clinics such as MedHair offer attractive all-inclusive packages that include hotel accommodation and transfers. At MedHair in Istanbul, there are no additional or hidden costs for your hair transplant in Turkey.
Treatments at MedHair Clinic meet international—and therefore also German—quality standards. The clinic is integrated into a renowned, state-of-the-art hospital and meets the highest standards of medical hygiene, patient safety, and technical equipment.

It is an aesthetic surgery performed under local anesthesia, in operating rooms, by doctors.
Hair transplantation is a well-established procedure with a good safety record, but like any surgery it carries some risks. Most side effects are minor and temporary:
Serious complications such as infection, visible scarring, an over-harvested donor area or poor graft survival are rare. They are much less likely when the procedure is planned and performed by an experienced doctor in a properly equipped, sterile setting. That’s why every treatment at MedHair takes place at the JCI-accredited Liv Hospital Vadistanbul, under the supervision of Dr. Vedat Tosun.
Before your procedure, we review your medical history, medications and blood test results to confirm that a hair transplant is safe for you. If you have a condition such as diabetes, a bleeding disorder or a heart condition, please tell us during your free consultation so we can plan accordingly.
If there is a scalp disease, it should be treated before the operation. Antibiotics should be used if there is acne. Excessive dandruff should be treated. If there are skin lesions that may be precancerous, they should be removed before the operation and sent for examination. If a wig is used before hair transplantation, its use should be restricted 1-2 weeks before. If it is attached to the skin with an adhesive, this adhesive should be cleaned off the skin. Cosmetic products such as hair gel should not be used before the operation. If sprays that prevent hair loss such as minoxil are used, their use should be discontinued 1 week before the operation. Keep in mind that the hair will be cut in the clinic on the day of surgery.
As long as the donor area is sufficient, any person with hair loss can undergo a hair transplant. The FUE method is recommended for those who do not wish to have a horizontal scar across the donor area. The FUE technique is also recommended for those who had undergone FUT or FUE earlier. FUE is a suitable technique for those who currently have slight hair loss in the crown area or near the hairline. These people have a higher risk of balding in the future and may need a second or third operation.
If there is any systemic disease that will constitute a contraindication to local anesthesia, the hair transplant should be performed after the disease is treated. It is not recommended for patients whose expectations are unrealistic and whose donor area is insufficient. Again, patients with skin diseases should not undergo a hair transplant until the disease has been treated. Before the procedure, B12, B6, and zinc levels should be normal.Thyroid diseases should be treated. Blood sugar levels should be at normal levels in diabetics. Psychological disorders such as trichotillomania, OCD, depression, and body dysmorphic disorder should be reported.
Those whose front hairline or crown area have balded, but other areas have not, may be uncertain about undergoing hair transplant. As it is known, it is an aesthetic operation. The receding of the hairline or a gap in the crown area may cause discomfort. In such cases, it can be performed without waiting for the rest hair to fall out. It is possible to repeat the FUE method in the future. It is one of the most important advantages of the FUE technique. In other words, when the rest of the hair falls, a second operation can be performed without creating an unnatural appearance. The operation can be repeated over the years.
Generally, the hair in both the recipient area and the donor area has to be cut. The hair in the donor area, especially, has to be shortened in the FUE method.
Under normal conditions, it takes an average of 6 to 8 hours.
There is no need to stay in the hospital after the procedure, the patient can go home immediately after the procedure.
After the operation, the donor area is covered, and the recipient area is left open. This dressing is removed after an average of 2-3 days after the hair is washed.
The recipient area should be protected from all kinds of trauma. It is necessary to sleep on the back to prevent the edema that may occur. Due to the edema associated with the operation, the hairline can appear asymmetrical or far behind, when it is not. In fact, it will be possible to make such evaluations after 8 months. Driving home is not recommended.The patient can start using medications prescribed by the doctors at home. It is recommended to eat light meals after the operation. Smoking and alcohol use is not recommended for an average of 10 days after the operation.
Turkish bath, pool, sauna, swimming, and strenuous sports are not recommended for an average of one and a half months. Smoking and alcohol must be restricted. The patient can use the shampoo that was used before the operation.
The transplanted hair falls out 3-4 weeks after the operation. This is called shock loss. In fact, the hair follicles are transplanted. As the hair falls out, the hair roots remain under the skin and begin to grow hair. They start to appear after an average of 3 months. Not all come out at the same time. Hair growth continues for an average of 5 months, increasing in density and continues until the eighth month. Asymmetry and unproportional density in some areas can be noticed. Therefore, it will not be correct to evaluate the result in this period. An average of 8 months should be enough for the evaluation of the results. Between the first 8-12 months, the scars fad and increasing hair density is observed. During the period between the 8th month and the 12th month, a more natural appearance begins to appear. An average of one year are needed for the evaluation of the final appearance. Since the impanted hair follicles are not affected by the DHT hormone, there is no hair loss like male pattern baldness.
There may be some redness as the scars heal. In non-sensitive skin, this redness is expected to disappear within 10 days. However, this redness may take longer in sensitive skin.
For many patients, Turkey offers a strong combination of experience, quality and value. Good results are possible in many countries, so the right choice depends on your priorities. These are the main reasons people choose Turkey:
Not every clinic in Turkey meets the same standard, though. Whichever country you choose, check who will actually perform your surgery, where it takes place (an accredited hospital or an unregulated clinic), what guarantees are offered, and whether you can see genuine before-and-after results. A clinic should be happy to answer all of these questions before you book.
Among the many clinics located in Turkey there are a number of highly regarded clinics in Istanbul. You are advised to learn as much as you can about the care offered, the guarantee of care within a hospital or clinic, the transplant procedure itself, the hygienic and sterile environment associated with the operation, the quality of care provided by healthcare professionals and the type of experience professionals in hair transplantation industry have. You should also check online reviews by former patients to see which patient(s) are satisfied with which clinics.
