World-Class Hair Transplants at Istanbul’s Leading JCI-Accredited Hospital

Yes. Your procedure is performed at Liv Hospital Ulus, a JCI-accredited hospital that is part of MLP Care — Turkey’s largest private healthcare group operating 34 hospitals across 13 cities. Liv Hospital has treated patients from over 135 countries and was one of the fastest hospitals in Turkey to achieve JCI accreditation (within 7 months of opening in 2013). This is a fully equipped multi-specialty hospital, not a standalone clinic.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so patients typically feel no pain during the transplant. Some mild discomfort may occur in the first few days, which is managed with standard medication.

Most patients return to daily activities within a few days. The transplanted area heals over 7–10 days. Your coordinator will provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your situation.

No. We provide clear, transparent pricing from the outset. Your package details are shared before you commit, and there are no surprise charges. What we quote is what you pay.

We handle the coordination — airport transfers, hotel accommodation, and clinic appointments are all arranged for you. Many patients combine their procedure with a short stay exploring Istanbul.

Turkey is the global leader in hair transplant procedures, performing more than any other country. Istanbul alone has world-class hospitals like Liv Hospital (part of Turkey’s largest private healthcare group) that combine advanced medical technology with costs 60–70% lower than the UK, Germany, or the US. Turkey’s government actively supports medical tourism through the Turquality programme, which certifies premium healthcare brands for international standards.

Going directly to a hospital in a foreign country means navigating language barriers, booking logistics, and trusting online reviews alone. Through BergemHealth, you get a dedicated multilingual coordinator who arranges everything — from your consultation at Liv Hospital to your 5-star hotel, private transfers, and 12 months of aftercare. We have an established partnership with Liv Hospital Ulus and Dr. Hamid Aydın’s team (25+ years experience, up to 24 patients per day capacity), so you receive prioritised scheduling and a single point of contact throughout.

Sapphire FUE is an advanced version of FUE that uses blades tipped with genuine sapphire crystal instead of steel. The sapphire tips create V-shaped micro-channels that are smaller and smoother, resulting in less tissue trauma, faster healing, and the ability to place grafts closer together for higher density. It is particularly recommended for patients who want the densest possible result or who have limited donor area. Sapphire FUE is available at Liv Hospital and your surgeon will advise whether it is the best option for your specific case.

This depends on your degree of hair loss, the density you want to achieve, and the quality of your donor area. As a general guide: a receding hairline typically requires 1,500–2,500 grafts, a thinning crown needs 1,500–3,000 grafts, and full coverage (hairline + crown) may require 4,000–6,000 grafts. Each graft contains 1–4 individual hairs. During your free consultation, we will assess your photos and give you an honest, personalised estimate.

Hair transplants work best for men with receding hairlines, thinning crowns, or patchy areas who still have sufficient donor hair (usually at the back and sides). During your free consultation, we will assess your suitability honestly — if a transplant is not right for you, we will tell you upfront.
