5-in-1 Hair
Transplant
Turkey
We provide a revolutionary and unique 5-in-1 hair transplant. We do not only transplant already existing grafts but also create new ones for fuller and natural look.
What is a Hair Transplant?
A hair transplant is a type of hair restoration surgery in which healthy hair growing on the back and the sides of the head, called the donor area, is transplanted to the areas of the scalp that suffer from hair loss.
Unlike the hair on top of the scalp, the donor hair growing on the back and sides is resistant to the damaging effects of dihydrotestosterone, an androgen that causes pattern baldness.
At Global Medical Care, we perform all our hair transplant operations with a unique 5-in-1 methodology that also creates new hair grafts.
We offer a unique 5-in-1 Hair Transplant.
To achieve the best results, Global Medical Care assembled a team of medical consultants who created a unique 5-in-1 methodology for hair transplant.
This method is a combination of 5 cutting-edge techniques enabling us not only to transplant existing hair but also to create new grafts.
Here’s how our hair transplants are performed using this innovative method.
1. Sapphire HT
Sapphire HT hair restoration utilises the finesse of Sapphire blades to craft canals of a unique form enhancing the follicles’ grip in their new spot. This technique promotes a 17% increase in follicle retention and speeds up the recovery period.
2. MICRO HT
Medical teams pick top-notch hair roots in MICRO HT using 3rd generation micromotors that have tiny 0.5-0.7 mm tips. This system allows for the extraction of 20% more grafts while minimizing damage to the donor area, ensuring a more natural appearance.
3. HD HT
In HD HT hair transplants, special nano-liquids are in use that expand the scalp 33% more compared to traditional liquids. This practice allows for the placement of as many as 100 grafts per square centimeter, resulting in denser outcomes and superior aesthetics.
4. Vita-ICE HT
Our Vita-ICE FUE hair restoration approach maintains each graft in peak shape after extraction. Infusing grafts with antioxidants and vitamins bolsters and breathes new life into hair follicles, ensuring a 25% increase in graft survival prior to implantation.
5. STEMCELL HT
Stem Cell HT - a revolutionary technique that not only boost graft survival, accelerates healing, and delivers thicker hair, but also creates new hair grafts. Thus it's the ultimate solution for fuller, healthier hair.

How Do We Achieve These Fantastic Results?
At Global Medical Care, we take a personalized approach to every patient’s hair restoration journey.
Our goal is to recreate your natural look as closely as possible, which is why we carefully analyze past photographs and assess potential future hair loss patterns. We always make our hair transplant planning for your future look. This means that we always take into account your potential hair loss in the future. In such a way, after a hair transplant with us, you always look good, even if you lose some of your existing hair.
A thorough analysis of the donor area allows us to determine the number of viable follicles in the donor area, and select the most suitable transplant method for optimal coverage and growth. We also take care to preserve the donor area, ensuring future procedures remain an option if needed.
Our expertise lies in creating a well-defined, natural-looking hairline that complements your facial structure. Our skilled doctors specialize in both the advanced FUE hair transplant technique and the cutting-edge 5in1 method, delivering exceptional results with the latest innovations in hair restoration.
Hair transplant techniques
At GM Care, we use only the most modern, safe, and effective hair transplant techniques.
Outdated techniques like Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), also called „strip surgery“ – where a strip of skin is taken from the donor area and harvested for hair follicles – are not being used.
Instead, we focus on the newer Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) techniques and, more specifically, combine these techniques in our unique 5-in-1 methodology.
FUE HT
The Sapphire HT hair transplant is a top-notch process using sapphire blades to cut small openings for moving hair roots. This technique brings up to 5000-6000 grafts with better accuracy, less scarring, and quicker healing. Unlike conventional methods, the ultra-sharp sapphire blades create smaller, more precise incisions, ensuring a natural-looking hairline. FUE’s benefits are less harm to the head skin, smaller scars, and speedier bounce-back. With sapphire tools’ exactness, it makes hair fronts that blend in well with what hair’s already there. These tiny, custom-shaped slots perfectly match the follicle structure, allowing for seamless integration with existing hair.
Doctors perform this accurate technique using local anesthesia, and it gives you a thicker and nicer-looking result. It’s why a hair transplant is a solid and reliable choice when you want to get your hair back to looking good.
Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE, is a method where individual hair follicles are extracted one by one from the donor area (typically the back or sides of the head) and implanted into thinning or bald areas. This operation, which they do with you just numb in the area they’re working on, is a standard way of moving hair around, and it’s not as harsh as some other ways they could do it.
Using this accurate technique under local anesthesia leads to a thicker and more attractive look, which is why Sapphire HT is a top-notch and reliable method for bringing back your hair.
DHI HT
DHI means “Direct Hair Implantation,” and it’s an advanced method for hair transplants where you don’t need to shave the transplanted area. While FUE demands opening canals first, DHI skips that step. You get each hair follicle put in with a Choi pen, and it makes the cut and puts the follicle in at the same time, all in one go.
DHI stands out because you don’t need to shave where the new hair will go. That’s great for patients wanting to keep their long locks or fretting over scars showing after surgery. They do it with just local numbing, so it’s not too harsh and keeps you cozy. On the other hand, with this method, up to 4000 grafts can be transplanted, as this takes more time.

What to expect after the procedure
After the hair transplant procedure, it is essential to have a clear understanding what to expect during the recovery process.
Immediately following the procedure, the scalp may be tender, and there may be some swelling and redness in the treated area. These side effects are generally mild and should subside within a few days. Your doctor may prescribe pain medication or recommend over-the-counter options to help manage any discomfort.
It is also important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon, which may include avoiding strenuous activities and wearing loose-fitting hats or other head coverings to protect the treatment area.
During the first few weeks, you may experience some shedding of the transplanted hair. This is a natural part of the process, known as “shock loss.” However, within a few months, you should start to see new hair growth in the treated areas.
Having realistic expectations and understanding that the final results may take several months to fully develop is vital. With proper care and follow-up appointments, you can help ensure the success of your hair transplant procedure.
Thanks to cutting-edge techniques, modern hair transplants are designed to be virtually pain-free, ensuring a comfortable experience from start to finish. With rapidly advancing methods and state-of-the-art technology, we deliver results that are not only effective but also tailored to your unique needs. And the best part? All of this is available through affordable treatment abroad, making world-class care accessible without compromising on quality.
How Long Does Transplanted Hair Last?
Hair transplants are widely regarded as a permanent solution to hair loss. The transplanted follicles are taken from the back or sides of the head—areas naturally resistant to genetic hair loss—making them unaffected by dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for hair thinning and baldness. As a result, once transplanted, these hairs can last a lifetime.
Understanding the Growth Timeline
The journey to full results requires patience. In the weeks following the procedure, the transplanted hairs typically shed—a normal part of the process. New hair growth begins within a few months, with noticeable improvements appearing around the six-month mark. However, it generally takes between 8 to 12 months to see the final, fully matured results.
Caring for Your Transplanted Hair
Once the new hair has fully grown, it behaves just like your natural hair—you can cut, style, and treat it as usual. Proper post-procedure care, particularly in the initial recovery phase, plays a crucial role in ensuring optimal results. Following your specialist’s guidance will help maintain the health and longevity of your transplanted hair.
Setting Realistic Expectations
While the transplanted hair is resistant to further loss, other untreated areas of the scalp may continue to experience thinning over time. However, a well-executed transplant can significantly enhance hair density and overall appearance, leading to a boost in confidence that lasts for years.
Recovery and Postoperative Care
Taking care of yourself after hair surgery matters if you want everything to go well and get better fast. So here are the main things to keep in mind when you’re on the mend:
Recovery Time
Right After the Surgery: Get ready for some puffiness, a bit of redness, and feeling sore. These chill out after a couple of days.
First Seven Days: Take it easy and say no to any hardcore workouts. You might notice some crusty bits where the new hair is.
Within Three Weeks: The new hair might fall out, and that’s called “shock loss.” But hang tight, ’cause the fresh strands should show up between one to three months after.
From One to Three Months: This is when the party starts—new hair pops up. It’s gonna look a little thin at first, but it gets thicker as time goes by.
6-12 Months: You’ll see most of the growth within this period, but the ultimate outcomes take a year or even longer.
Bandages and Dressings
You might get wraps or protections on your donating and getting areas after the hair transplant operation. These are good for keeping the grafts safe and helping them get better. Your doctor will tell you how to look after the wraps and when it’s okay to take them off.
Medications for Pain and Inflammation
Pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications may be prescribed to manage discomfort and swelling. Make sure you use these pills the way your doctor tells you and report any unusual side effects immediately.
Washing and Caring for the Transplanted Hair
Your surgeon will give clear directions to wash your new hair at certain times and in a specific way. Following these directions helps heal well and reduces the chance of infection. Handle the transplanted area with care when you’re just starting to get better.
Follow-up Appointments and Monitoring
Contacting your support team often after the procedure is key to keeping an eye on how your new hair is doing. If something’s up or you’re puzzled about something, these visits are the time to chat about it. Your surgeon will inform you on when to expect what.
What Is the Best Age for a Hair Transplant?
The ideal age for a hair transplant varies from person to person and depends on multiple factors, including the stability of hair loss and the condition of the donor area. Here’s what you need to know:
Stable Hair Loss
The best candidates for a hair transplant are those whose hair loss has slowed significantly. If hair loss is still progressing rapidly, undergoing a transplant too soon may result in an uneven appearance as more natural hair continues to shed. It’s essential to wait until a clear pattern of hair loss has been established.
Recommended Age Range
While there’s no strict age requirement, experts often recommend hair transplants for individuals between their late 20s and 50s. By this stage, hair loss patterns are usually more predictable, and the donor hair is still in good condition for transplantation.
Personalized Assessment
Each individual experiences hair loss differently. A thorough evaluation by a hair restoration specialist is crucial to determine the best approach. Factors such as family history, the extent of hair thinning, donor hair availability, and overall health play a key role in deciding if and when a hair transplant is the right solution.
Considering Future Hair Loss
A hair transplant doesn’t stop hair loss—it redistributes existing hair to thinning areas. If hair loss continues, additional procedures may be required in the future to maintain a balanced, natural look. Strategic planning with an experienced specialist can help ensure long-term satisfaction.
Consult a Specialist
The best way to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for a hair transplant is to schedule a consultation with a qualified expert. They can assess your specific situation and recommend the best timing and technique for optimal results.

Risks and Considerations of a Hair Transplant
Hair transplants don’t cause problems, but you can’t rule out dangers with any operation. You might face infections, bleeding, scars, or bad reactions to the sleeping meds they give you. Also, you could feel like your head’s asleep or kinda, and though it’s not common, there’s this slim chance you could mess up some blood vessels or nerves thingies. Before undergoing a hair transplant, it’s essential to discuss these potential concerns with your doctor to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
Hair Transplant Side Effects
Hair transplants work well and are safe, but you should know about some side effects. Common post-surgery effects include swelling, itchiness, and mild discomfort in both the donor and recipient areas. There’s also a chance of shock loss, which means the new hair could fall out, but don’t worry, it’ll grow back. However, if the procedure is not performed correctly, complications such as infection, excessive scarring, or unnatural-looking hair growth may arise.
If you’re thinking about getting a hair transplant, make sure you talk it over with a proper doctor and do what they say after the operation to keep trouble away.
FAQs
Turkey is good for hair transplants. This is the capital of hair transplants and accommodates the best doctors and best medical teams for this procedure. There is no other country around the world where this operation is so widely done with such a high success rate.
Hair transplant costs can vary a lot in Turkey. Prices below £1400 are generally given by non-qualified teams who are doing the operations in local offices. The price of a hair transplant in a hospital with an experienced doctor generally varies between £1500-3000 depending on the comfort level and operation type.
3000 grafts cost around £1500-3000 in proper operations done in a hospital and by a doctor. Lower than £1500 are quoted generally by nonqualified teams and for operations done in offices where this operation should not be performed.
Turkey hair transplants last forever. As during the hair transplant hair in the donor area which is coded genetically not to be lost is collected and transplanted to other areas, the Turkey hair transplant lasts forever.
No. You cannot get bald after a hair transplant. As the hair transplanted during the operation will last forever you cannot become bald after the operation unless you have a disease creating hair fall.
Hair transplants are your hair. Thus if your hair gets grey genetically they go grey as well. They will get grey at the same time as your other hair. Thus your hair getting grey will not create a change in your look if you have a hair transplant.
After the hair transplant, you can hide your head with a clean and light cap. You should make sure that it does not create a big pressure on grafts. And after 20 days you can use your hair as normal ones. You should just not use very heavy things on your head (like a motorcycle helmet)
After the hair transplant generally the old hair in the transplantation area stays longer with you than without a hair transplant. The main reason for this is that with the hair transplant, a completely new and wide weins network is created on the scalp and this helps a better nourishment of your old hair. But this hair may fall if they are genetically coded to be lost.
The transplanted hair will stay forever with you. Thus when you get old nothing happens and you keep your look after the transplant.
Hairline placement is an important stage to focus on hair transplantation procedures. Your surgeon advises on the overall limits of the new hairline and transplantation areas based on the patient’s preferences.
Although it may vary from patient to patient, here’s a typical daily schedule for hair transplantation operations:
First Day:
- You arrive at the airport and your driver will wait for you at the exit of the customs zone with a tag with your name.
- He will drive you to the hospital and hand you to your patient representative who is fluent in your language.
- After the initial registration procedure, you will meet your doctor in person.
- You will have your last checks to prepare you for hair transplantation.
- Then your procedure will start and may last up to eight hours, operated under local anesthesia. Your hair transplant surgeon will operate the procedure with his crew. You should lie for up to four hours onwards and up to three and a half hours backward to have a successful root extraction and transplantation.
- You will rest in your room in the hotel.
2nd Day
- You will visit the hospital again for a final check-up including visual consultation, hair root check, and removal of the dressing and washing.
- Your doctor advises you further on medication including a special lotion and a shampoo and the types of activities you can get involved in throughout your recovery period.
- You will be ready to go back home after your second day.
You will get a detailed customized list from your surgeon about what to do and what not to do before the operation. Please wait for these instructions to act, as yours may be different. But here is general guidance that our surgeons share with their patients:
- You should inform your surgeon about your routine medication and health history
- If you are taking any blood thinners, please let your surgeon know, as they may represent a contra-indication to surgery, you may need to stop their intake two weeks before your surgery
- If you are taking broad beta-blockers, please contact your surgeon, you may need to stop intake two weeks before your hair transplantation
- It is better to leave your hair long as your surgeon can trim it to the appropriate length on the morning of the hair transplantation
- Do not take any Vitamin B or E for one week before your procedure. It holds for any multivitamins that contain these vitamins
- Do not take Aspirin or any other anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) for one week before your hair transplant procedure
- Smoking may cause poor healing after hair transplantation surgery and can increase the chance of infection and scarring. Smoking may also contribute to poor hair growth. Therefore you should stop smoking one week before surgery
- Do not drink any alcoholic beverages at least three days before your hair transplantation procedure
- You can take a shower on the morning of your hair transplant procedure. Do not apply sprays, gels, or any other styling products to your hair
- If you wear a hair system, please remove it before shampooing and do not wear it before your procedure
- You should wear loose, comfortable clothing that does not need to be pulled on over your head
- Please do not wear any cologne or perfume on the day of your hair transplantation procedure
- Have breakfast in the morning of your procedure. If your surgery is scheduled for the afternoon, have a light lunch before you arrive
- Do not drink coffee or any caffeinated beverages on the day of your procedure
- You will be going to the hotel with a headband-type bandage. You may bring a light hat or bandana to cover the bandage so it will not be visible
The platelet-rich plasma is injected subcutaneously under the scalp with microneedles. The injection is painless and takes 2-3 minutes.
Your surgeon will give you detailed instructions tailored to your situation. Please wait for these instructions to act, as yours may be different. But general guidelines that our surgeons are sharing with their patients is as follows:
- You should not make any contact with the area of the transplantation. The grafts can be damaged easily even with little pressure or scratches. You should wear comfortable clothing such as shirts buttoned from the front. Protect your head while trespassing under a door and avoid sudden moves during sleep
- To prevent the swelling on your forehead you should pick at least two pillows while sleeping. You should also avoid leaning forward (e.g. when using the computer)
- The continuation of the antibiotics and anti-swelling medication is essential
- Your donor area dressing will be peeled off on the second day of your operation.
- You will be instructed on how to wash your hair in the clinic
- You should not try to remove the blood clots on the transplantation area after the shower
- We do not recommend wearing a cap but if you insist on this due to appearance concerns, you should choose a cap that does not pressurize the transplantation area
- You can touch your hair, get your hair cut, wear a cap, and swim two weeks after surgery
- Even if you use your medication regularly, there might be some swelling on your forehead in the first week. This will not cause any problems and will disappear later on. To speed up this process, you should reduce salt and flavor in your diet.
- The first month after the procedure, you will lose the hair that is transplanted onto your head. The growing period of your hair will be between 6-9 months. The initial growth will be thinner than your original hair but it will get thicker within a year
- Systematic lack of iron, zinc, copper, selenium, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin B6, thyroid hormone dysfunction, smoking, and diseases on hair skin (i.e. lichen) may affect hair transplantation negatively
- About 10 cc of blood is taken.
- The blood is transferred to a sterile environment in a particular device to increase the number of platelets in the plasma volume.
- The cells of the blood are separated by centrifugation and the platelet concentration in blood plasma increases up to 4-8 times.
Yes, the cut of the donor area is a must. If you are happy with this alone, you may ask your doctor. But considering the weird look, most of the patients ask for a full haircut.
Hair transplantation is the only permanent solution for hair restoration. You do not need to worry about hair loss or hair density problems after the procedure.
Hair transplantation is carried out under the supervision of plastic surgeons by hair transplantation experts with at least 10 years of experience. In medical operations, surgeons, only do their core job where they are specialized. As an example, in heart surgery, assistants open the body and prepare everything for the job of the surgeon, and then close it. In hair transplantation, this is the same. The doctor defines the hairline and placements of the grafts, defines the donor area, and defines the principles of the selection. An anesthetist performs the anesthesia. Then, hair transplantation experts operate under the close supervision of plastic surgeons.
Depending on the size of the area to be transplanted, skin, and hair character, and the technique to be practiced, it is a process taking approximately between 4 and 8 hours.
A hair transplantation operation is an operation carried out under local anesthesia thus you will not feel any pain and aching during the operation. After the operation, standard painkillers will be enough so that you don’t feel any pain.
Yes, in normal conditions, and if you follow the aftercare instructions they do.
There is no circumstance preventing you from going out after the operation. In the first couple of days, there are tiny pink spots to be seen. These gradually fade away and become normal in a week.
Generally, after 3 days you can have a bath. Using special lotions and caring after the bath will be important and your medical team in the hospital will guide you through them.
They emerge as tiny particles 3 months after the operation date; they reach the normal length in approximately 6 months.
Yes, transplanted hairs usually fall out after transplantation. But as with the transplantation, new hair roots are created, and new hair will grow back in the transplanted area.
The transplanted hairs are operated naturally. Thus at first glance, no one can understand this. As no cuts are made in the FUE method, no scar will appear.
Yes, our surgeons perform hair transplantation on both men and women.
Hair transplantation does not increase the total number of hairs on the scalp, cannot prevent future alopecia, and is limited by available donor hair.
Most of our surgeons and their medical team have performed over 5,000 hair transplants.
This is the aim of our surgeons. Aftercare is also a key factor for success. Patients should follow the post-op instructions carefully for successful final results.
The result of hair transplantation surgery is permanent. It may take up to a year to see the final results. In some cases, it can take up to 18 months.
The number of grafts you need is related to the degree of your hair loss. Your surgeon will advise how many grafts you need when he assesses your pictures from different angles during online consultation or when he sees you in person.
Your new hair roots will grow thinner and they are going to fall off within three months (usually in the first month). After this period, the transplanted grafts will be stronger and thicker.
The roots that are extracted from your donor area will last for a lifetime after they are transplanted on your desired balding areas.
