BG About Hair of Istanbul
Hair of Istanbul is a hair restoration clinic founded in Istanbul in 2013. Since then more than 19,000 procedures have been carried out at the clinic, for patients travelling from across Europe, the Middle East, North America and beyond, with consultation and aftercare available in more than eight languages.
The work is narrow on purpose. Hair, beard and eyebrow restoration, and the corrective work that follows a procedure someone was not happy with, are what the clinic does. It does not run a general aesthetics list.
Who Operates This Site, and Where the Clinic Is
This website, www.hairofistanbul.com, is operated by Hair of Istanbul LLC, registered at Citywalk Boulevard, Unit 20-01, Al Safa St., Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The medical procedures described on this site are carried out at the clinic in Bakırköy, Istanbul. The two are set out separately below because they are not the same thing: one publishes the site, the other delivers the treatment.

The content on this website is general information about hair restoration procedures. It is not a diagnosis, a treatment recommendation, or a substitute for an examination. Whether a procedure is suitable, and what it can realistically achieve, can only be decided after a personal assessment. Outcomes differ from one person to the next.
What Is Done Here
Every procedure below is planned around the same limit: how many follicular units the donor area can give up without thinning, and how much area needs covering. That limit is what makes one plan different from another, and it is assessed before anything is agreed.
| Procedure | What it addresses |
|---|---|
| Hair transplantation | Pattern hair loss and receding hairlines, using FUE extraction with implanter-pen, sapphire or slit placement |
| Hair transplantation for women | Female pattern loss, widened parting, and grafting into scarred or elevated hairlines |
| Afro-type hair transplantation | Curved follicles, which need a different extraction angle and punch selection |
| Beard transplantation | Patchy or absent beard growth, and scarring in the beard area |
| Eyebrow transplantation | Over-plucked, scarred or absent brows, using single-hair grafts |
| Revision hair transplantation | A hairline drawn too low, grafts placed at the wrong angle or in the wrong plane, donor-area scarring and thin density after an earlier procedure |
| Forehead reduction | A naturally high hairline, lowered by grafting or by surgical advancement |
| Scalp micropigmentation | Density illusion where donor capacity is limited, and camouflage of donor scarring |
| PRP and Regenera Activa | Adjunctive treatments, offered alongside a procedure rather than as a replacement for one |
How a Plan Is Made
Two people with the same degree of hair loss can need very different plans, because the variables that decide the outcome are not the same in both. Planning at this clinic starts from measurement rather than from a package.
A consultation covers the scalp with digital analysis, records donor density and hair calibre, and maps the area that needs covering. Only after that does a graft range exist, and only after the graft range does a design get drawn.
What is assessed before a plan is agreed
- Donor density and capacity — how many follicular units can be taken safely, and how much must remain so the donor area does not thin
- Hair calibre and curl — a thick or curved shaft covers more area per graft than a fine straight one, which changes the number needed
- The area to be covered — measured, not estimated from a photograph; head size changes the answer more than the loss pattern does
- Hairline position relative to facial proportion — a line that suits the face at thirty must still suit it at fifty
- Hair direction and angle — the existing growth pattern dictates how grafts are placed, and it is the difference between a result that reads as hair and one that reads as a transplant
- Skin type and scalp condition — laxity, thickness and any existing scarring change both technique and expectation
- Age and the likely course of loss — a plan made for today that ignores the next fifteen years produces an island of hair
- General health and medication — assessed with blood work and an ECG before the procedure is confirmed
The technique follows from that assessment rather than the other way round. FUE extraction is used throughout; placement is by implanter pen, sapphire-blade incision or slit, chosen for the scalp in front of the medical team. No technique carries a surcharge, because there is no evidence that would justify one.
The same assessment can produce a negative answer. Where donor capacity does not support the coverage a patient is asking for, saying so before the procedure is part of the job, and it is a better outcome than a plan that spends the donor area on a result that cannot be sustained.
The Clinic
The clinic is in Bakırköy, on the European side of Istanbul, around twenty minutes from Istanbul Airport by road. It is registered as a hair transplant unit under the Turkish Ministry of Health, and hair transplant units in Türkiye are governed by a dedicated national regulation that sets minimum room size, mandatory sterile instruments, a mandatory emergency drug and equipment inventory, written photographic consent, record-keeping in the Ministry’s electronic system, and state inspection at least once a year.
Sterilisation runs to protocol across all treatment areas, instruments and intervention sets are sterile, and an anaesthesiology specialist is present during the procedure. Patients are seen through three distinct spaces rather than one room.
Design room
The day begins here rather than in the operating room. Digital scalp analysis, donor measurement and the hairline drawing all happen before anything is shaved. Nothing proceeds until the drawn line has been seen and agreed by the patient in a mirror.
Operating room
Extraction, graft preparation and placement take place in a dedicated theatre equipped for monitoring and for handling an emergency, with the anaesthesiology specialist present throughout. Sessions commonly run six to nine hours, with breaks.
Patient lounge
A separate area for the breaks during a long session and for the following day’s dressing and first wash, kept apart from the treatment areas so that recovery and clinical work do not share a room.
Contact
Photographs of the front, crown and donor area are enough for an initial graft range. A written plan, including what the procedure can and cannot achieve in your case, follows the consultation.
The medical team page sets out who is responsible for the clinical work, and the contact page carries the enquiry form, telephone numbers and directions. The clinic page has photographs of the spaces described above.
