U-FUE Transplant in Turkey
Istanbul, Turkey is recognized worldwide as being the ultimate go-to destination for the highest quality hair transplants. Este Medical Group in Turkey has a solid reputation for providing superior service and a proven track record of successful hair transplants and hair regrowth with our clients. Este’s Istanbul clinic recently went up against 3,000 other transplant clinics in the Best of Year Awards and won first place!
Typically, hair loss restoration techniques require the head to be shaved to provide access to the maximum number of hairs possible to harvest from a donor area. The U stands for unshaven in a U-FUE hair transplant. With a traditional Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) treatment the donor area is shaved for unlimited access to the maximum number of hairs possible to harvest. The U-FUE hair transplant differs in that the donor area and treatment area is not shaved, as many hair transplant clients prefer not to undergo regrowing established hair, or they want to keep their hair longer for aesthetic reasons. This technique is the latest advancement in the treatment of hair loss. This undetectable transplant treatment gives clients who do not wish to shave their heads the opportunity to restore their hair growth in a minimally invasive, effective way.
If you have questions about hair loss solutions, we invite you to arrange a consultation with one of our experienced Este Medical Group haircare experts.
Difference Between FUE and U-FUE Hair Transplant
The main difference between a FUE and a U-FUE hair transplant is that your scalp will not be shaved as part of the treatment. U-FUE is the same as FUE in that hairs are extracted from a donor area (e.g., the back or sides of the head) but the donor and treatment areas are not shaved. The U-FUE transplant technique is far more delicate and requires a high level of skill to target the healthiest hairs for transplanting and implanting. With both FUE and U-FUE transplants each hair is moved one by one, resulting in a completely natural and healthy-looking head of hair. Our expert surgeons at Este Medical Group have many years of experience executing this complex procedure.

Causes of Hair Loss
Hair loss may be happening to you for one reason or a set of circumstances. The sooner you seek professional help, the more likely you are to prevent further hair loss. There are many things that can cause or influence hair loss including:
- Genes: male and female pattern baldness can be hereditary
- Age: aging often precipitates increased hair loss
- Hormonal imbalance: in males high levels of the DHT hormone can lead to hair loss; for females pregnancy/menopause often associated with hair loss
- Stress: significant physical/emotional stress
- Diet: deficiencies in nutrients can affect hair health
- Vitamin deficiency: low levels of certain vitamins
- Medications: hair loss can be a rare medication side effect, however a variety of drugs may contribute
- Hairstyle: some chemical hair treatments and hairstyles
The best way to find out if a U-FUE treatment in Turkey is appropriate for you is to book an Este hair loss consultation.
Our Hair Transplant Techniques and Technologies
Sapphire FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
Sapphire FUE stands at the very forefront of hair transplant innovation. This technique involves using precision-crafted sapphire blades instead of traditional steel blades for extracting hair follicles from the donor area.
The ultra-sharp and fine tips of the sapphire blades allow for more precise and minimally invasive incisions, resulting in smaller, cleaner grafts and reduced scarring. Patients benefit from quicker healing times, minimal discomfort, and natural-looking results with improved graft survival rates.
Sapphire DHI (Direct Hair Implantation)
Sapphire DHI adds to Sapphire FUE by combining it with the Direct Hair Implantation method. This advanced approach allows the simultaneous extraction and implantation of hair follicles, which minimises the time follicles spend outside the body and optimises their viability.
Sapphire DHI offers a swift and efficient hair transplant process, precise graft placement, and seamless, undetectable results.
Pain-Free Hair Transplant with Sedation
Your comfort is our priority. That's why we offer sedation with our hair transplant procedures to help you feel at ease and ensure you’re as comfortable as possible during the procedure.
Sedation helps to alleviate anxiety, allowing patients to remain calm and relaxed while our skilled professionals perform the transplant.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best treatment for my hair loss?
Everyone has a different experience with hair loss as there are several types of hair loss. A hair transplant might not be necessary for all types of hair loss. Effective hair loss treatments are: microinjections, laser treatment, and/or surgery (e.g., U-FUE and FUE hair transplant). To best answer that question it is recommended you book a consultation with an Este Medical Group hair loss specialist. Message us directly through the Este website.
Should I have the U-FUE or FUE hair transplant?
During your Este consultation, our hair specialist will discuss your hair goals and your current hair loss to ensure you select the treatment that will provide you with the best results. It really comes down to whether or not you are open to having your scalp shaved and how you feel about that part of the procedure. Again, an Este hair specialist will be able to advise you if this is necessary or not, but U-FUE is a highly successful treatment that allows you to forgo shaving your head.
Do I need to take time off work?
Much depends on your daily routine, and if you are in a client-facing role or remote working in privacy. The general recommendation is you can return to work within 2-5 days. There are barely any side effects from this safe and proven treatment. You might experience some redness, swelling, numbness, or temporary scabbing on the scalp. These side effects are common, however not harmful; they will decrease and fade within a few days. This is something you can discuss with an Este hair transplant specialist during your transplantation consultation.
How long till I start to see my hair grow back?
Every client has a different experience, but on average it will take 6-12 months to be able to see the hairs grow thick. In just five months clients experience visible hair growth (i.e., on average 50% hair growth). And within a year most transplant recipients will experience up to 100% hair growth.
How long after treatment can I start to style my hair again?
Each Este Turkey hair transplant client will have a customised post-treatment aftercare plan to follow for the optimal care for their scalp and new hair growth. For example, you can start using hairspray, gel or mousse to hold your hairstyle in place about four weeks after surgery. Hair mousse can be especially helpful to create volume and make hair look fuller while your new hair is undergoing its growth cycle. It is best to let an Este haircare expert make these recommendations post-treatment.
