Understanding Hair Restoration

Hair loss is one of the most common concerns among men and women, affecting confidence and self-image at any age. Modern medical techniques now make it possible to restore hair naturally and permanently, with results that look authentic, not artificial.

Among global destinations, Turkey has become a leading choice for people seeking safe, medically supervised, and cost-effective hair restoration. For many in the UK, Antalya offers the ideal combination of advanced care, affordability, and professionalism.

Why Turkey Leads in Hair Transplantation

Turkey’s reputation for hair restoration didn’t happen by chance. Over the past decade, it has developed into an international hub for aesthetic medicine, attracting patients from across Europe and the Middle East.

What makes it stand out?

  • Highly experienced surgeons who specialise exclusively in FUE, Sapphire FUE, and DHI procedures.
  • Accredited hospitals and surgical centres that meet international health standards.
  • Comprehensive packages that cover surgery, accommodation, and aftercare — with no hidden costs.
  • English-speaking medical teams who support patients before, during, and after treatment.

At Clinic Phaselis in Antalya, these standards are combined with a calm, structured approach where each procedure is performed only by certified doctors, ensuring the highest safety and aesthetic precision.

The Procedures Explained

FUE – Follicular Unit Extraction

This technique involves harvesting individual follicular units from the donor area and implanting them into thinning or bald zones. It leaves no linear scar and provides natural density suitable for short hairstyles.

Sapphire FUE

A refinement of FUE that uses micro-blades made from sapphire crystal. These ultra-fine tips allow denser placement, faster healing, and smoother results,  ideal for hairline and temple work.

DHI – Direct Hair Implantation

DHI allows surgeons to implant follicles immediately after extraction using a special implanter pen. This ensures precise depth, direction, and angle, achieving natural growth patterns even in detailed areas like beards or eyebrows.

Each method has distinct advantages, and your surgeon will recommend the most suitable option after assessing your scalp, donor capacity, and aesthetic goals.

Who Can Benefit

A hair transplant is not just for complete baldness. It helps individuals who:

  • Experience receding hairlines or patchy thinning.
  • Want to fill temples or crown areas while preserving existing hair.
  • Prefer a scar-free, low-downtime treatment.
  • Seek natural, gradual restoration rather than dramatic change.

Good candidates are generally healthy, maintain stable hair loss patterns, and have sufficient donor hair at the back or sides of the scalp.

Safety, Care, and Recovery

Safety is always the foundation of a successful transplant. At Clinic Phaselis, all procedures are carried out in licensed hospitals with full anaesthetic support and continuous nurse monitoring.

After surgery, patients rest in private recovery accommodation located near the clinic, with daily visits from the medical team. Swelling and redness usually subside within a few days, and most people return to light activities within a week. New hair growth becomes visible after three months, with full results developing over 9–12 months.

What Sets Clinic Phaselis Apart

  • Doctor-led procedures – all graft extractions and implantations are performed by surgeons, not technicians.
  • Natural-looking outcomes – density and angles are designed to match your original growth pattern.
  • 24/7 English-speaking support – constant communication for reassurance and guidance.
  • Comprehensive insurance – every package includes Medical Travel Shield for peace of mind.
  • Follow-up consultations – remote video check-ins after your return to the UK.

“I came to Antalya for my hair transplant after a detailed call and quote with the team. The price was great, and I’m over the moon with the results. Everyone I know who had their transplant done here recommends Clinic Phaselis 100%.”

At Clinic Phaselis, what matters most is the confidence, happiness, and trust our patients regain through safe, professional care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a hair transplant in Turkey safe?

Yes. When performed by certified surgeons in accredited hospitals, it follows the same safety standards as in the UK.

How long do results last?

Hair transplanted from the donor area is resistant to baldness, so results are typically permanent.

When will I see new hair growth?

Early regrowth begins at around three months, with full density visible after nine to twelve months.

Does it hurt?

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. Most patients describe only mild tightness or itching during recovery.

How long should I stay in Antalya?

Most patients stay 3 nights and 4 days. This includes everything you need for a smooth and safe experience:
Day 1: Arrival and rest
Day 2: Procedure Day
Day 3: First hair wash and check-up
