Planning a hair transplant in Türkiye from the UK
Turwel helps UK patients plan a hair transplant in Türkiye. We talk through what you are considering, introduce partner clinics, arrange an online consultation where available, and coordinate your hotel and transfers. The clinic assesses your suitability, plans and carries out the procedure, and provides aftercare. We help you stay in touch with them once you are home.

Who does what
What does Turwel do for a hair transplant?
Turwel organises the conversations and the practical side of the trip. We do not assess your hair loss, recommend a technique or carry out treatment. Clinical assessment, the treatment plan, consent and the procedure itself stay with the qualified clinical team at the clinic.
| Turwel arranges | The clinic is responsible for |
|---|---|
| A first conversation about your goals and the questions worth asking | Assessing your hair loss, donor area and whether a transplant is suitable |
| Introductions to partner clinics and, where available, an online consultation | Recommending a technique and graft plan, and explaining risks and alternatives |
| Hotel, airport transfers and getting to your appointments | Carrying out the procedure and the checks during your stay |
| A point of contact while you are in Türkiye | Written aftercare instructions and clinical follow-up |
| Help keeping communication with the clinic moving after you return | Answering clinical questions after treatment |
Terms you will hear
Which hair transplant terms should I understand before comparing clinics?
Clinics describe their methods in different ways, so it helps to know the common terms before a consultation. You do not need to choose a technique yourself: ask the clinic what each term means in their practice and why they recommend it for you.
- FUE
Follicular Unit Extraction
Refers to harvesting individual follicular units from the donor area. Ask how the technique relates to your own treatment plan.
- DHI
Pen-style implantation
Commonly used to describe implantation with a pen-style implanter. Ask what the term means at that clinic and why it is proposed.
- Sapphire FUE
Sapphire blades
Used when sapphire blades are used during parts of an FUE procedure. The clinic should explain its relevance rather than relying on the label.
- Hairline
Hairline planning
How the proposed hairline relates to your face, existing hair, likely future hair loss and available donor supply.
- Donor area
Donor assessment
How your donor area will be assessed, and how extraction is planned with its longer-term appearance in mind.
- Grafts
Graft estimates
A graft number is one part of a proposal, not the whole of it. Ask how it was worked out for you.
Your journey
How does planning a hair transplant with Turwel work?
There are three stages. Before you travel, you share your goals and speak with a clinic. In Türkiye, the clinic assesses you in person and confirms the plan before treatment, while we coordinate the practical arrangements. Back in the UK, we help you keep in touch with the clinic for follow-up questions.
Confirm the plan
The clinic assesses you directly and confirms the clinical plan before treatment. We coordinate your hotel, transfers and appointments.
Keep communication moving
After you return, we remain available to help keep communication with the clinic going for practical follow-up questions.
Questions to ask
What should I ask a hair transplant clinic before booking?
Look beyond the graft number and the price. Before you decide, ask these questions and keep the answers in writing, so you can compare clinics on the same basis and know exactly what has been agreed before you travel.
- Who will assess me, and who performs each stage of the procedure?
- How will my donor area be evaluated?
- Why are you proposing this technique for me, and what are the alternatives?
- How did you arrive at the estimated number of grafts?
- What are the main risks and limitations in my case?
- What does the quotation include, and what could cost extra?
- What checks happen before I fly home, and who do I contact afterwards?
Common questions
Hair transplant in Türkiye: common questions
Can I speak with a specialist before travelling?
Yes, where the clinic offers it. Turwel can arrange an online consultation so you can discuss your situation and questions with the clinic before making any travel arrangements.
How do I know which technique is suitable for me?
The technique should be discussed with the clinic after it has considered your individual circumstances. A treatment label alone cannot tell you whether it is clinically suitable for you.
How long should I stay in Türkiye for a hair transplant?
It depends on the clinic's treatment and follow-up plan. Confirm the procedure schedule, the checks after treatment and any travel advice with the clinic before you book flights.
What happens after I return to the UK?
The clinic should explain the follow-up for your procedure and give you a direct contact for clinical questions. Turwel remains available to help keep communication with the clinic moving after you return.
Should I choose a clinic based on the number of grafts offered?
No. A graft estimate is only one part of a treatment proposal. Ask how it was worked out, how your donor area was assessed and how the plan fits your longer-term needs.
Does Turwel decide which clinic or technique I should choose?
No. Turwel introduces partner clinics and helps you compare what they tell you. The decision is yours, and clinical recommendations come from the clinic's qualified team.
