Hair Transplant
Access to coordinated hair transplant programs using FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) techniques, performed by surgeons certified by the Turkish Board of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery at partner facilities in Turkey. Partner clinics combine the procedure with PRP protocols to support graft survival and follicle activation. Individual results may vary.
Duration
1–2 day procedure
Recovery
7–10 days, full results in 12 months
Program overview
The hair transplant coordination program connects US patients with partner clinics in Turkey that specialize in FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) procedures. Astramedica acts as a Virginia-based intermediary — we help you compare partner facilities, coordinate travel from Virginia, and provide on-site logistics support. Clinical decisions are made exclusively by the attending surgeon at the partner clinic.
Partner facilities are selected through a documented vetting process that reviews surgeon credentials (board certification under the Turkish Board of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery), facility licensing, equipment standards, and post-procedure protocols. Each participant receives a written summary of the partner clinic's published program structure before travel.
All medical decisions — including eligibility, graft count, technique selection, and aftercare — are made by the independent, licensed surgeon at the partner clinic. Astramedica does not provide medical advice, perform procedures, and does not guarantee any clinical outcome.
Why Turkey for this program
Turkey has emerged as a destination for hair transplant coordination due to its concentration of surgeons with high procedural experience and the availability of advanced FUE and DHI equipment at accredited facilities. Partner clinics typically combine the core procedure with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) protocols in accordance with established medical terminology. Travel logistics from Virginia to Istanbul are direct and well-documented by our coordination team.
Key considerations
- Natural-looking, permanent results
- Minimally invasive FUE & DHI techniques
- High graft survival rate (95%+)
- PRP-enhanced follicle activation
- No visible scarring
Who this program is for
How the coordination works
- 1
Virginia Consultation Call
A coordinator discusses your hair loss pattern, goals, and timeline. We explain what Astramedica coordinates and what the partner surgeon will independently decide.
- 2
Partner Clinic Comparison
We share anonymized partner-clinic program structures so you can independently compare surgeon credentials, graft techniques, and published facility protocols.
- 3
Surgeon Review
The surgeon at the partner clinic reviews your case, confirms candidacy, and determines graft planning. Astramedica does not influence this clinical review.
- 4
Travel & On-Site Coordination
Once the partner surgeon accepts your case, we coordinate flights, airport transfers, accommodation, and on-site support throughout your stay in Istanbul.
- 5
Procedure & Return Journey
The procedure is performed at the partner facility. We coordinate post-procedure check-in and the return travel plan, plus remote follow-up scheduling.

Frequently asked questions
Does Astramedica perform the hair transplant?
No. Astramedica is a coordination company. The procedure is performed by an independent, licensed surgeon at a partner clinic in Turkey. All clinical decisions rest with the attending surgeon.
How are partner clinics selected?
Partner clinics are selected through a documented vetting process that evaluates surgeon board certification (Turkish Board of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery), facility licensing, equipment standards, and published protocols. The full process is described on the Astramedica Clinic Vetting Process page.
What is the difference between FUE and DHI?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) are two graft extraction and implantation techniques. The choice between them is a clinical decision made by the partner surgeon based on your hair loss pattern, donor density, and desired outcomes.
What is the typical on-site stay?
Most participants plan a 4–5 night stay in Istanbul, including one day for the procedure and 2–3 days for immediate aftercare. Final scheduling depends on the partner clinic's post-procedure observation recommendations.
