“Dr. Harun Alakaya is a physician whose reputation hasn't been built through ads.”Techniques
The method follows your donor area, not a menu
Dr. Alakaya chooses the technique after seeing your hair type, donor density and goals. These are the procedures he performs.
01 · SAPPHIRE FUE
Sapphire FUE
Channels opened with sapphire blades: finer incisions, dense packing and quicker healing. His main technique for larger sessions.
02 · DHIDHI (Choi pen)
Grafts placed directly with an implanter pen. Precise control of angle and depth for hairlines and densifying between existing hair.
03 · UNSHAVENUnshaven transplant
Only a hidden strip of the donor is trimmed. You go back to work without anyone noticing.
04 · AFROAfro hair
Curved follicles need slower extraction and adapted punches to avoid transection. A specialty of his.
05 · BEARDBeard & moustache
Cheek line, jaw and moustache rebuilt with single grafts at a very low angle.
06 · EYEBROWEyebrow
Fine single hairs following the natural brow flow, for over-plucked or scarred brows.
07 · WOMENWomen's hair transplant
Long-hair technique for part-line and frontal thinning, without shaving the head.
08 · PRPPRP & aftercare therapy
Platelet-rich plasma sessions to support healing and slow loss of the hair you still have.

Graft calculator
How many grafts might you need?
Pick the pattern closest to yours on the Norwood scale. This gives a first estimate; your exact number comes from the doctor after he sees your donor area.
1 · Your hair loss pattern
2 · What do you want to restore?
3 · Density you want
Estimated grafts
2,500–3,500
Typical for one session. Donor capacity differs from person to person; the doctor confirms it at the scalp exam.
Confirm with the doctorAll-inclusive packages
One fixed price. No per-graft billing.
The number of grafts is set by what your donor area can safely give, not by what you can pay. Everything in Istanbul is arranged for you.

Before you decide
Not answered here? Write on WhatsApp and the medical team replies the same day.
Will Dr. Alakaya perform my operation himself?
Yes. He designs your hairline, opens the channels and oversees every step. The table above shows exactly which steps are his.
Does a hair transplant hurt?
Only the local anaesthetic is felt, for a few minutes. After that most patients watch films or sleep. Mild tightness for 2–3 days is normal.
How many grafts will I get?
As many as your donor area can safely give for your goal. The doctor sets the number from your photos and confirms it after examining you in person.
When can I go back to work?
Desk work after 3–5 days. Avoid sport for one month, sauna and swimming for six weeks, and direct sun on the scalp for two months.
Is the result permanent?
Transplanted hair comes from the donor zone, which resists genetic loss, so it keeps growing for life. Your native hair may still thin, which is why we plan for the long term.
How do I pay?
A small deposit secures your date. The balance is paid at the clinic in euros, pounds, dollars or by card.
