Sapphire FUE, DHI or both: how your surgeon chooses

Every technique takes grafts out one at a time from the back and sides. The difference is how they go back in. Your surgeon chooses for each area after seeing your photos, and the price is the same either way.

Sapphire FUE

Fine channels are opened with a sapphire blade, then the grafts go in. The blade lets grafts sit very close together, which helps at some hairlines.

Suits: Bald or nearly bald areas, some hairlines

How it works: Sapphire FUE

DHI

Each graft goes in with a pen-like implanter in one move, precisely between the hairs you still have, and often at the hairline too.

Suits: Thinning areas between existing hair, women, second procedures, many hairlines

How it works: DHI

Hybrid

Sapphire FUE where the scalp is bald and DHI where hair is thinning, in one procedure. Your surgeon decides case by case whether it helps.

Suits: A mix of bald and thinning areas

How it works: Hybrid

A new name, not a new team

Dr. Grafts is a new name for a team with more than 10 years of hair transplant experience, so there are no reviews under the new name yet. Here is what you can check for yourself, free and without committing to anything.

Prices

One written price. No charge per graft.

The surgery is the same in all four packages; they differ in your hotel, transfers and aftercare. Your surgeon sets the number of grafts your plan needs, up to 5,000 in one session, and within one session that number does not change the price; a second session is its own package. So nobody gains from taking more grafts than your plan needs or your donor area should give.

What people ask before they fly

All questions
Will the result look natural?

A natural look depends on three things: the hairline design, single-hair grafts in the first 2⁠–⁠3 rows of the hairline, and the angle each graft goes in at. Your surgeon designs the hairline with you, plans the grafts and their angles, and checks the work at every stage.

What if my hair doesn’t grow as planned?

Your surgeon reviews your photos at every check-up, at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. New hair grows slowly: most people see about half the result at 6 months and most of it at 12, and the crown can take up to 18 months. If growth is less than planned, your surgeon talks you through the options on WhatsApp and decides with you, case by case. We cannot promise how every graft will grow: genetics and other factors outside anyone’s control play a large part.

What does the price include?

Every package includes your consultation, blood tests and the procedure, with the technique your surgeon chooses, plus lunch on surgery day, your first wash at the clinic the day after, the prescription medicines you need after surgery and 12 months of follow-up. Essential, Signature and Prestige add hotel nights, airport pick-up and transfers, PRP and an aftercare kit. Signature and Prestige also include hyperbaric oxygen sessions. Express has no hotel, pick-up or transport. Flights and personal travel insurance are not included.

What each package includes

Does a hair transplant hurt?

The first 5⁠–⁠10 minutes, while the local anaesthetic goes in, can be uncomfortable; how much varies from person to person. Once the area is numb, most people feel pressure, not pain. You may feel tight and swollen for a few days afterwards. The painkillers and other medicines you need after surgery are included in every package.

Where does surgery take place?

Surgery takes place in the operating rooms of licensed hospitals in Istanbul. Your coordinator sends the details of your procedure day, including where to go, once your dates are agreed. With every package except Express, your driver takes you there.

Your trip, day by day

What are the risks?

Hair transplantation is surgery. Risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, numbness, shock loss and grafts that do not grow well. Your surgeon explains them before you agree to anything.
