Free Hair AnalysisFirst Phase: The Preparation
Your hair restoration journey begins the moment you arrive in Istanbul. A private VIP shuttle will be waiting at the airport to whisk you away to our hair loss clinic, ensuring a seamless and stress-free start to your experience.
Once at the clinic, you’ll undergo a blood test as part of our exclusive pre-test system. This quick and efficient test is performed by our skilled medical teams and takes only a few minutes.
Afterwards, you’ll have the chance to unwind in your Elit Hotel room, conveniently located within the clinic. Alternatively, you can take the time to explore the vibrant and cosmopolitan city of Istanbul, immersing yourself in its unique charm.
The following morning, the next steps of the pre-test system take place, including a comprehensive hair analysis using the advanced TrichoLAB scanner and an ultrasound examination of your scalp. These tests are designed to personalise your treatment plan and optimise results.
With all the preparations complete in just a short time, you’ll move on to the second phase of your journey: your hair treatment.
Second Phase: The Treatment
The second phase of your journey is the hair transplant surgery itself. To ensure your comfort throughout the process, you’ll be placed under local anaesthesia using our innovative Sleep-Deep method, providing a relaxing and pain-free experience.
Your hair follicles are carefully harvested one by one from the donor area using the advanced Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique. Unlike older methods, FUE doesn’t require the removal of a strip of skin, ensuring your donor area retains a natural appearance. Once extracted, the follicles are preserved in a nutrient-rich solution to maintain their vitality and prepare them for transplantation.
The next step involves moving the grafts to the recipient area using a technique tailored to your specific needs. Depending on your hair situation, your experts will recommend the most suitable method—whether that’s DHI, Sapphire, or SDHI—to ensure optimal hair growth and a natural, aesthetically pleasing result.
Third phase: Postoperative Aftercare
The day after your hair transplant marks the start of the postoperative care phase, ensuring everything is on track for optimal recovery. During this quality check, our expert team will wash your transplanted hair for the first time and provide you with all the essential aftercare products and medication needed to support healing and minimise any potential side effects.
Once this step is complete, you’ll be ready to head home. Remarkably, the entire process—from arrival to departure—takes no more than 72 hours, making it convenient for even the busiest schedules.
But our care doesn’t end when you leave. We’re committed to supporting you throughout your recovery and hair growth journey. Our team will check in with you at regular intervals to monitor your progress and assess the quality of your results.
To make this even easier, we’ve developed the Elithair App, your dedicated companion for postoperative guidance. It provides personalised tips, reminders, and access to your expert team whenever you need it.

FAQ
What Is the Procedure for a Hair Transplant?
The first step in a hair transplant is to locally anaesthetise your scalp. This is done using the Sleep-Deep method, which provides a painless anaesthetic experience. Our specialists then remove the hair from the donor area. Finally, the hair ducts are opened, and the grafts are inserted.
Is the Procedure Similar for All Patients?
Yes, the process is the same for every patient. We have a team that specialises in each stage of the hair transplant procedure to ensure that each stage runs smoothly. The only exception is the DHI method, where the opening of the channel and the insertion of the grafts are done in one step.
