THE TECHNIQUE
What is FUE Hair Transplant?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is the most widely used and trusted hair transplant technique in the world. During the procedure, individual hair follicles are carefully extracted one by one from the donor area — typically the back and sides of the scalp — using a micro-punch tool. These follicles are then implanted into the thinning or bald areas of the scalp.
Unlike the older FUT (strip) method, FUE leaves no linear scar and allows patients to wear their hair short after recovery. At Estelux Istanbul, our FUE procedures are performed by board-certified hair transplant specialists with over 12 years of dedicated experience.
No linear scarring
Individual follicle extraction leaves only tiny, virtually invisible marks that heal quickly.
Natural results
Precise implantation angle and direction ensures completely natural-looking hair growth.
Permanent solution
Transplanted follicles are genetically resistant to hair loss — results are permanent for life.
Fast recovery
Most patients return to work within 7-10 days. Strenuous activity avoided for 3-4 weeks.
Suitable for all
FUE is suitable for both men and women experiencing hair loss or thinning.
Flexible donor area
When needed, donor hair can also be taken from the beard or chest for maximum graft numbers.
COMFORT & SAFETY
Anaesthesia Options at Estelux
At Estelux, we offer both local and sedation anaesthesia for your FUE procedure — so you can choose the experience that suits you best.
Standard
Local Anaesthesia
The scalp is numbed with local anaesthetic injections. You remain fully awake and comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients watch films or listen to music during the process.
Premium Option
Sedation Anaesthesia
For patients who prefer a completely stress-free experience, we offer sedation anaesthesia. You will be fully relaxed and unaware during the entire procedure — with zero discomfort from start to finish. This premium option is available exclusively at Estelux Istanbul.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is FUE hair transplant painful?
With local anaesthesia, you will feel no pain during the procedure. With sedation anaesthesia, you will be completely unaware. Some patients experience mild discomfort during the initial anaesthetic injections — this passes quickly.
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul?
Most FUE patients stay 3-5 days in Istanbul. The procedure itself takes 6-8 hours, followed by a recovery day and a post-operative check before departure.
How many grafts will I need?
This depends on your degree of hair loss and goals. Most patients require between 2,000 and 4,500 grafts. Your specialist will determine the exact number during your free consultation.
When will I see my final results?
Initial shedding occurs in the first 1-2 months — this is normal. New growth begins around month 3-4, with significant improvement by month 6. Full results are visible after 12-18 months.
