From Hesitation to Celebration
Making the decision to address hair loss isn’t always easy. Many of our patients feel unsure even hesitant about whether a hair transplant will look natural, or whether it’s the right step for them. But their “after” results speak volumes. With expertly restored hairlines, natural growth patterns, and thicker coverage, they don’t just see a difference in the mirror – they feel it every day.

Recovery
Really Looks Like
Elithair FAQ
1. How much does a hair transplant cost?
The cost depends on how many grafts you need. That is why the first step is always a free hair analysis. It determines whether a hair transplant can realistically deliver a result you will be happy with.
After completing this analysis, we turn down four out of ten enquiries because we do not believe we could achieve a satisfactory result.
If you are suitable for treatment, your fixed all-inclusive price will be approximately £2,899.
This includes the procedure using the DHI technique, the Pre-Test System, Sleep-Deep sedation for a pain-free treatment, hotel accommodation, all transfers, medication, one PRP treatment and aftercare through the Elithair App. Your flight is not included.
2. Why should I make a decision now?
Let’s be honest: you probably did not start thinking about a hair transplant yesterday.
For most of our patients, more than a year passes between the initial thought and the final decision.
The first step is your free hair analysis. It determines whether you are suitable for treatment and whether your donor area can provide a natural, dense result.
If the answer is yes, there is little reason to keep waiting. We can assess the condition of your hair today. No one can predict exactly how your hair loss will progress over the next few years, and the stronger your starting position is, the better the conditions for achieving a good result.
You should also consider how long your new hair needs to grow. Every month you wait delays your final result by another month.
So you are not really choosing between now and later. You are choosing between certainty today and uncertainty tomorrow.
3. Other clinics are cheaper. Why should I choose Elithair?
Very low-cost offers usually save money in areas you cannot immediately see, particularly in the medical planning.
At many budget clinics, no one measures the thickness of your scalp or its blood supply. Grafts are implanted at the same depth for every patient. You may only discover months later that this depth was unsuitable, when some of the grafts fail to grow.
The donor area at the back of your head is the only resource involved in this procedure that cannot be replaced. Every graft that is incorrectly implanted and fails to grow will be unavailable for any future correction.
This is why the cheapest treatment is rarely the cheapest outcome in the long term.
At Elithair, the complete medical package is included. This includes the Pre-Test System used to calculate your individual treatment plan, the Five-Doctor Concept with at least five medical checkpoints, the Sleep-Deep method for a pain-free procedure and the NEO FUE® technique with a patented stem cell serum.
You also receive a 20-year guarantee. and access to aftercare at eight locations across Germany.
Ultimately, the question is not which clinic offers the lowest price. At Elithair, you do not receive a standardised, one-size-fits-all procedure. You receive a treatment designed specifically for your scalp, at a very fair price.
That is the difference.
4. Will the treatment be painful?
No. Your hair transplant will be pain-free.
The most uncomfortable part of a hair transplant is usually not the procedure itself. It is the local anaesthetic, which normally requires between 20 and 30 injections.
With our Sleep-Deep method, you are asleep during this exact stage. You are sedated intravenously for approximately 15 minutes, while we administer the local anaesthetic.
By the time you wake up, the entire area is already numb. This means you do not experience pain during the procedure.
A specialist anaesthetist monitors you continuously throughout the sedation.
5. What exactly happens in Istanbul?
Your trip lasts three days.
Day 1: Our VIP shuttle collects you from Istanbul Airport.
At the clinic, you complete the six examinations included in our Pre-Test System. We use these measurements to create your personalised treatment plan, including how deeply each graft should be implanted, the angle at which it should grow and the shape of your hairline.
You then check into your four-star hotel and have the rest of the day to yourself.
Day 2: A doctor begins by designing your hairline together with you.
Your procedure is then carried out using the Sleep-Deep method. Meals and all transfers are included.
Day 3: You attend your final medical examination and aftercare consultation.
You receive your medication and care products, after which our shuttle takes you back to the airport.
6. When can I return to work and social activities?
Most patients can return to their normal daily routine after five to six days, depending on the type of work they do.
The small scabs in the recipient area usually heal within approximately ten days. From that point onwards, the scalp generally looks normal again.
Our doctors monitor your recovery through the Elithair App. You regularly upload photographs, and your doctor will personally advise you when you can return to exercise and physical activity based on your individual healing process.
Your trip lasts three days in total, with only one day spent undergoing treatment at the clinic. Many patients therefore schedule their procedure around a long weekend.
Your personal hair transplant expert will help you select a date that works with your professional commitments.
7. Will my treatment be personalised?
Your hair is as unique as your fingerprint. That is why we do not use a standard treatment plan.
Before surgery, most clinics only carry out a blood test to rule out infections.
We also measure the characteristics that make your scalp different from every other patient’s: the thickness of your scalp using ultrasound, the blood flow through your scalp arteries using Doppler ultrasound and the density and structure of your grafts using the TrichoLAB scanner.
We also perform an ECG and two blood tests: one to check for infectious diseases and another to identify possible causes of your hair loss.
Together, these are the six examinations included in our Pre-Test System.
Our doctors use these results to calculate the three factors that determine the quality of your outcome: the implantation depth, the angle of each individual hair and the design of your hairline.
If grafts are implanted too close to the surface, the growth rate can fall to approximately 60%. When they are implanted at the ideal depth for your scalp, the growth rate exceeds 95%.
The implantation angle determines whether your new hair grows in the same direction as your existing hair or sticks out unnaturally.
This is why two patients receiving the same number of grafts do not necessarily receive the same treatment at Elithair.
8. How is quality controlled?
The quality of our clinic is not only monitored internally. It is also inspected by the government.
The Turkish Ministry of Health inspects our clinic once or twice every month. These inspections cover our medical processes, hygiene, sterilisation, documentation and the treatments themselves.
The Ministry therefore has first-hand knowledge of our quality standards. It has enough confidence in Elithair to authorise us to train doctors in the field of hair transplantation.
You do not have to take a clinic’s claims on trust when the government has selected that clinic to train doctors. The Ministry of Health has already carried out that assessment for you.
Inside the clinic, our Five-Doctor Concept provides an additional level of protection for every procedure.
Your treatment is medically checked and assessed at a minimum of five different stages, from the initial hair analysis and the planning of your hairline to the final examination before your departure.
This is possible because more than 20 doctors work at our clinic. No important stage of your treatment is completed without medical supervision.
9. Will I receive a guarantee?
Yes. We provide a 20-year guarantee on all transplanted hair follicles, provided that you follow and document your aftercare through the Elithair App.
We can offer this guarantee because we carefully select our patients before treatment.
Approximately 40% of all enquiries are rejected following the hair analysis because we do not believe we could achieve a result the patient would be satisfied with.
A clinic that treats everyone earns money from every patient.
10. What is included in the booking?
Your fixed price includes the procedure using the DHI technique, the NEO FUE® preparation kit with its patented stem cell serum, Sleep-Deep sedation for a pain-free treatment and the Pre-Test System with six medical examinations.
It also includes all VIP transfers, your hotel accommodation and meals, medication and care products, one PRP treatment and digital aftercare through the Elithair App.
You also receive a 20-year guarantee on the transplanted hair, provided that you follow the aftercare instructions.
Your flight is not included.
11. Which clinic will carry out my treatment?
Your treatment takes place in our own clinic in Istanbul, not in rented rooms within another medical facility.
Istanbul is the world’s leading centre of expertise for hair transplantation. Some of the most experienced specialists work there using the latest techniques. In this particular field, Turkey’s private medical sector offers a level of expertise that is ahead of the UK market.
We do not simply ask you to take our word for the quality of our clinic.
Our processes have been audited in accordance with German standards by TÜV Thüringen, an independent German testing, inspection and certification organisation specialising in quality and safety standards.
The Turkish Ministry of Health also inspects our clinic once or twice every month, including the procedures themselves.
It has so much confidence in the quality of our work that it approached us directly and authorised Elithair to train doctors in the field of hair transplantation.
