Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is one of the most popular and advanced methods of hair transplantation, offering natural results with minimal scarring. Unlike older techniques, FUE involves extracting individual hair follicles and implanting them directly into thinning or balding areas.
This minimally invasive procedure has become the gold standard in modern hair restoration, and at Badge Health in Turkey, patients receive world-class care with highly skilled surgeons and state-of-the-art facilities.
I did the hair transplant. Everyone was super cool and nice. My Coordinator Nisrine walked me through all of the steps so I knew what to expect through the procedure and for my after care. The whole process they make sure you are comfortable and accommodated. 10/10 Would recommend to a friend!

They were caring and helpful. My coordinator Miray was explaining everything in detail so I was aware of everything. She still messaging me after I was back in UK. 🥰 Can’t thank this team enough!

I had a wonderful experience at badge clinic, the staff were all exceptionally professional and the service is just at a very high standard and I am not someone who is easy to please. The hotel is perfect, with a spacious lounge area, washing machine and fully functional kitchen. The hospital is very modern and clean with nurses attending to all my needs around the clock.

A life changing procedure for me that was made a lot easier with the help of Badge Clinic. Fantastic facilities with the amazing doctors and nurses who helped me recover from my gastric sleeve surgery. Will always be grateful
Celina A.
Very welcoming people. I was stressed that the doctor had to take my canine out and is visible so they came with the option with a temporary tooth until next appointment for the implant. Also the bridge procedure was done with precision. Honestly they know what they are doing and you feel in good hands. Highly recommend Badge Health.

I recently underwent a breast lift with implants and 360/back liposuction at Badge Clinic, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience.
First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to Nurses Irem and Aleyna. Their friendliness and willingness to help made me feel at ease throughout my stay. Their professional care truly stood out.
A huge thank you to Dr. Mete for his incredible work. His expertise in performing my procedures was evident, and I am thrilled with the results after 3 days. His attention to detail and commitment to patient satisfaction are commendable.
I also want to thank Nesrine for her excellent organizational skills. She took care of everything, from coordinating my stay to managing transfers between the hotel and hospital, ensuring that everything ran smoothly.
The team at Badge Clinic is remarkably organized and dedicated to their patients’ well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend Badge Clinic to anyone considering these procedures.

From the initial enquiry, through booking, surgery and post operative care badge were extremely helpful and reassuring.
The hospital was clean and comfortable and were accommodating to both myself and my companion.
Dr Mete listened to what I wanted whilst offering his professional opinion and giving me the results that I was looking for.
My coordinator Şevval were always on hand regardless of the time of day, to answer any queries, concerns or basic questions I had. No query was to pig or to small.
My hotel nurse Beyza was extremely friendly and so helpful in my aftercare. Again no query or request was to big or to small. She checked on me a few times a day each day and was always available through the WhatsApp group. She made my after care stay so much more comfortable.
Even after I have returned home they are still in contact to offer support and ensure everything is going well.
I would definitely recommend badge clinic for anyone seeking cosmetic surgery. I myself was recommended badge and I am so glad I chose them. My procedures were a fraction of the cost of the UK but this did not take away from the level of care and support that was provided
Tasmyn B.
My experience with The Badge Clinic has been amazing- everyone that I have spoken to have been so kind, thoughtful and patient. I had a surgery in the UK 5 years ago and I am much happier with my result and the whole process this time around. I would recommend The Badge Clinic to anyone!

I recently underwent a hair transplant at Badge Clinic in Istanbul, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the post-procedure follow-up, the team at Badge Clinic demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care.
The clinic itself is state-of-the-art, with modern facilities that made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the process. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure all my questions were answered and that I felt fully prepared before the procedure. The medical team, led by highly skilled surgeons, was extremely meticulous, ensuring everything was done with precision and care.
The procedure itself was smooth and relatively painless, and I was impressed with the thoroughness and attention to detail. The team ensured I understood the post-op care instructions, and the follow-up support has been fantastic. I am excited about the final outcome!
Traveling to Istanbul for this procedure was definitely worth it also VIP transportation between airport, 5 start to clinic and Badge Clinic provides an excellent combination of affordability and world-class expertise. For anyone considering a hair transplant, I would highly recommend Badge Clinic. They exceeded my expectations in every way.

Dr Brow
Post surgery of 4 days, fly back room night. I’ve had 360 lipo, tummy tuck and a do repair. Nurse all so kind and Google translate helps. Walking as advised has helped a lot increase mobility and reduce swelling or bloating. Defiantly take comfy button up the front over size item, travel light and book special assistance for the airport to help get through the massive airport.
Results look great already and super bloated and need to get lymph massages but extremely happy so far.
Hotel staff, clinic & hospital staff are all friendly. Surgeon lovely and nice. Just drink plenty, stay comfy and walking is key!!

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a hair restoration procedure in which hair follicles are harvested one by one from a donor area—typically the back or sides of the scalp—and then transplanted into the recipient area. Because follicles are extracted individually, FUE leaves tiny dot-like scars that are virtually undetectable, making it an excellent choice for patients who prefer short hairstyles.
FUE is ideal for:
Receding hairlines
Thinning crowns and temples
Correcting previous transplants
Patients seeking minimal downtime
How is FUE Hair Transplant Performed?
The FUE procedure consists of several key steps:
Donor Area Preparation: The donor area is trimmed and numbed with local anesthesia.
Follicle Extraction: Individual follicles are carefully extracted using a micro-punch device.
Graft Preservation: Extracted follicles are preserved under optimal conditions until implantation.
Implantation: Tiny incisions are made in the recipient area, and follicles are implanted at precise angles and depths to mimic natural hair growth.
The procedure typically takes between 6–8 hours depending on the number of grafts required.
Advantages of FUE Hair Transplant
Minimally invasive with no stitches
Quick recovery and less post-op discomfort
Permanent and natural-looking results
Minimal scarring, nearly invisible
Suitable for both men and women
Can be used for scalp, beard, or eyebrow restoration
Recovery After FUE Hair Transplant
FUE has one of the fastest recovery times in hair restoration. Patients can usually resume daily activities within 2–3 days. Some redness and swelling may appear but subside within a week.
2–3 weeks: Shedding of transplanted hair (normal process)
3–4 months: New hair growth begins
6–9 months: Noticeable density and coverage
12 months: Final natural results
At Badge Health, patients receive comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure maximum graft survival and long-lasting outcomes.
Risks and Considerations
While FUE is a safe procedure, minor side effects such as temporary swelling, redness, or follicle shock loss may occur. These typically resolve on their own. Choosing experienced surgeons, like those at Badge Health, ensures a safe procedure with excellent results.
