Istanbul packages are usually all-inclusive — the procedure, hotel, transfers, aftercare kit and medication — with pricing by graft count or as a fixed package rather than per-hair.
FUE vs DHI — what is the difference?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) harvests individual follicles and implants them into pre-opened channels — versatile and widely used. DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) uses a Choi implanter pen to extract and place in one step, allowing denser packing and a shorter healing window. A good clinic recommends the technique based on your donor area and goal, not a one-size package.
Why Istanbul for hair transplants?
Istanbul performs more hair transplants than anywhere in the world, giving its clinics enormous case volume and competitive all-inclusive pricing. As with dentistry, the key is a licensed clinic with a doctor-led team and strong cross-platform reviews — not just the lowest graft price.
