El Dr. Kaya demostró un alto nivel de profesionalismo y habilidad en todo momento. Su asistente Artem fue increíblemente atento y nos brindó un apoyo inigualable durante todo el proceso."

  • "I went to dr Kaya after a friend of mine had the same operation done, seeing his results and hearing his experience made me comfortable enough to pull the trigger and go for it, an amazing experience overall, everyone has been so helpful to me and made the whole journey very comfortable, special thanks to Artem & Maral who were in touch with me before, during & after the operation, they check on me daily and are always there ti give me advice whenever I have a question or worry! Highly recommend dr Kaya & his amazing team!"

  • "This was my second hair transplant, and drkaya hair clinic restored my confidence after a bad experience elsewhere. They performed 4300 grafts with such precision that I didn’t even need painkillers afterward. My previous transplant through another provider was costly and disappointing, but Dr.Kaya’s results at 6 months post-op are phenomenal. If you’re looking for quality and affordability, this is the place to go."

  • "I had my hair transplant at Dr. Kaya Clinic about six months ago, and the entire journey was fantastic from start to finish. Before the procedure, the clinic’s support was exceptional—they answered all my questions promptly and made me feel confident about my decision. They arranged our airport pickup and handled all transportation during our stay, which took away any stress. On the day of the operation, the team at Dr. Kaya’s clinic explained every step of the process clearly, ensuring I was comfortable and informed. Their professionalism and kindness really stood out. After the surgery, they kept in touch regularly, checking on my progress and helping with any concerns I had about recovery. The results at six months are already incredible—my hair looks full and natural, and I’m so excited to see the final outcome. I highly recommend Dr. Kaya Clinic to anyone considering a hair transplant!"

  • "I travelled to Istanbul for my transplant in September 2023 with Dr Kaya and am 8months post transplant. I could not be happier with my outcome.I found the process very smooth sailing from getting from the airport, to hotel and to the hospital.The hospital was so clean (more like a 5* hotel). Friends and family were amazed when I showed them, being used to NHs hospitals here in the UK.I had diffused hair loss, and had receding to my crown, sides and mid section of my head. I had 5000 transplanted graphs which took around 7-8hours all in all.Procedure was fine, aftercare follow ups were great too. All of the questions and worries I had were answered in full with confidence.I would recommend to anyone to get it done!I’m now with a full head of hair and cannot be happier😊"

  • "Hello everyone, I am Denis from UK. I had an operation 3 years ago with Dr. Kaya. Him and his team are excellent... I couldn't be happier with the results. I used to be very bald but they managed to get a full coverage for me. I was really good taken care of, they always kept in touch with me. Everything from transfer to the hotel was brilliant. The experience overall was amazing but the results... they speak for itself. I gained my confidence back. Thanks to Dr. Kaya again. I am really happy that I chose this place, no regrets at all other than not getting it done sooner XD. Recommend to anyone thinking of a hair transplantation. Cheers"

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find what you're looking for? See the full FAQ or reach out directly.

How many grafts will I need?

Graft count depends on your Norwood stage, donor density, and desired coverage. Most patients need between 2,500–5,000 grafts; Dr. Kaya provides an exact estimate after reviewing your photos during the free consultation.

What's the difference between Sapphire FUE and DHI?

Sapphire FUE opens channels first, then implants grafts by hand — ideal for larger sessions. DHI implants directly with a Choi Pen without pre-opened channels, giving tighter control over angle and depth for hairline work.

How long until I see final results?

Transplanted hair sheds within 2–4 weeks (normal), regrowth starts around month 3–4, and full density is typically visible at 10–12 months.

Is the procedure painful?

The area is fully numbed with local anesthesia before the procedure begins. Most patients report mild discomfort, not pain, and it's manageable with the medication provided.

Do you offer packages that include hotel and transport?

Yes. All-inclusive packages cover airport pickup, hotel accommodation, transport to the clinic, translator support, and post-op medication.
