FAQ
Is hair transplantation painful?
The procedure itself is painless, as it is performed under local anesthesia or sedation. While the administration of local anesthesia may cause some discomfort or sensitivity for the first 5–10 minutes, significant pain is uncommon. At Luxury Health Global, patient comfort is further improved by using needle-free anesthesia prior to local anesthesia, ensuring a virtually pain-free experience.
How successful are hair transplant procedures?
Hair transplantation procedures generally achieve an overall success rate of 90–95%. At Luxury Health Global, our results are even more impressive, with a success rate consistently exceeding 95%, as demonstrated by statistics from thousands of satisfied patients.
Which types of doctors are qualified to perform hair transplants?
Authorization for hair transplantation differs from country to country. In Turkey, only certified medical personnel and specialists — such as aesthetics & plastic surgeons, and dermatologists—are legally permitted to perform hair transplantation procedures. Physicians from other medical specialties are not authorized to conduct these operations.
Will my hair look natural after a transplant?
Hair transplantation uses your own hair follicles, making the procedure naturally blend with your existing hair when done well. However, poor planning, technique, or inexperience can lead to unsatisfactory results. To achieve a truly natural look, every step matters—from designing an accurate hairline to choosing the right method for your desired hair density.
Will I have visible scars after a hair transplant?
At Luxury Health Global, we use the latest techniques to ensure that no visible scarring occurs after hair transplantation.
Can hair transplantation be done by beard or chest area?
Hair follicles can be extracted from the beard and/or chest areas; however, the number of grafts available from the beard is generally limited due to the smaller donor area, and these grafts are typically used for supplementary purposes. Furthermore, follicles sourced from the beard and especially the chest may not achieve the same level of success and natural appearance as those transplanted from the head.
Why do we need everything to be completely sterile during the procedure?
During hair transplantation, open incisions increase the risk of infection, making strict sterilization essential. Both the clinic and equipment must meet rigorous standards & hold proper certifications. At Luxury Health Global, we ensure a meticulously hygienic environment for every procedure by using advanced medical equipment and maintaining stringent control within our dedicated sterilization unit.
Can someone else donate hair for my transplant?
Hair transplantation relies exclusively on grafts taken from your own body — typically the scalp,
and in some cases, the beard. It is NOT possible to use hair follicles from any other individual,
regardless of relationship or hereditary closeness.
Only your own follicles are suitable to ensure a successful & safe procedure!
Can a hair transplant be done on scar tissue, including FUT scars?
In certain cases, hair transplantation can be performed on scarred tissue, including areas with scars from previous FUT procedures. However, a thorough in-person consultation with our physician is essential to assess and determine the viability of each individual scar site for successful transplantation. Only after careful evaluation can a recommendation be made regarding the feasibility of transplanting onto scar tissue. It is important to note that, even with proper assessment, there remains a particular risk that the outcome may not be fully successful.
How is the price of a hair transplant decided?
Pricing models for hair transplantation can vary considerably. While some providers structure costs around the number of grafts, others — particularly those with advanced expertise and a focus on comprehensive care — prefer an all-inclusive approach. At Luxury Health Global, we believe in transparent and consistent pricing. Our patients benefit from a fixed fee for the procedure, thoughtfully designed to guarantee the highest standard of care — free from compromise or distraction. From the moment you begin your journey with us, you are fully supported by our dedicated medical and administrative teams, who expertly guide and oversee every aspect of your experience to ensure exceptional service and seamless care.

Istanbul, with its lively pulse and unique position as a crossroads of cultures, offers more than just a scenic backdrop — it brings together the best of medical innovation & hospitality. Here, the health tourism sector is world-renowned, and high standards are simply the norm, not the exception. Our team draws on the city’s dynamic spirit, combining rigorous training, international qualifications, and years of hands-on collaboration. We take pride in steady, honest progress: always aiming to exceed expectations, but never losing sight of what matters most — delivering meaningful results for those who place their trust in us. Excellence is something we strive for every day, and we’re energized by the journey, not just the destination.
When can I have the second session?
The timing of a second session varies based on each patient’s unique circumstances. With DHI procedures, a follow-up session can often be scheduled sooner, as minimal tissue disruption allows for quicker healing and recovery. In contrast, Sapphire FUE procedures involve creating micro-channels, so your doctor will assess when it’s appropriate to proceed. While the timing is individualized, there is typically a recommended waiting period of at least eight months before undergoing a second transplant.
