What is FUE hair transplant?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) harvests individual hair follicles from the donor area and implants them where hair is thinning. Istanbul is the world's leading destination for FUE, performing hundreds of thousands of procedures every year with results comparable to (and often better than) US and European clinics at a fraction of the price.
Who is it for?
- Male and female pattern baldness
- Receding hairlines and crown thinning
