Keloid scars Treatment in Global Health Hair

About the clinic

Global Health Hair in Istanbul, Turkey, specializes in managing keloid scars for patients seeking hair restoration. Treatment is led by Dr. Merdan Çelik, who has over 20 years of experience and has performed 20,000+ procedures. The clinic holds JCI and TÜV Rheinland accreditations, focusing on safety for patients with a history of abnormal scarring.

Keloid risk diagnostics

Before any procedure, the medical team conducts a thorough evaluation to identify potential scarring issues. This process helps determine the safest approach for your skin type. Diagnostics include:

Keloid risk consultation. This includes an evaluation of your Fitzpatrick skin type and a review of your personal and family medical history regarding scars.
Micro-graft test. Dr. Merdan Çelik performs a small test graft in a discreet area. This allows the team to check how your skin responds to tiny incisions before a full procedure.

Treatment and prevention methods

The clinic uses a structured protocol to manage and reduce the appearance of keloid scars. These therapies help flatten raised tissue and relieve discomfort like itching. The available options include:

Corticosteroid injections. These intralesional triamcinolone injections work to shrink existing keloids and stop them from growing.
Silicone therapy. Patients use medical-grade silicone gel or sheets daily for several months to soften and flatten scar tissue.
Compression therapy. Light compression bandaging is used alongside strict follow-up to prevent new keloid formation.

Patient care and specialized support

Dr. Merdan Çelik personally manages every patient prone to keloids. The clinic limits intake to 3 patients per day to make sure each person receives focused attention. This is particularly important for monitoring skin healing after a hair transplant. The facility includes a hotel inside the clinic building, and the team provides progress monitoring for 12 months. If you have concerns about scarring, you can request a consultation to discuss a personalized risk assessment on Bookimed.

Global Health Hair: more details about the clinic

Turkey, Istanbul

Global Health Hair is a private hair restoration clinic in Istanbul's Sisli district. The facility is led by Dr. Merdan Çelik, MD. Every procedure is performed personally by a licensed medical doctor, not technicians.

Credentials

Dr. Merdan Çelik holds:

Medical degree, Trakya University Faculty of Medicine, 1997 (diploma no. 1816)
Turkish state medical register no. 88616, since 1998
Turkish Ministry of Health Aesthetic Medicine Practice Certificate no. 1111, 2005

Hair Restoration Services

The clinic is a single-specialty practice – hair, beard, and eyebrow transplants only. The clinic focuses on surgical hair transplantation for patients from Spain and the UK. To keep a focused schedule, the team takes only three patients per day. This means the lead surgeon is involved from consultation through the entire procedure.

The team uses two main techniques:

Sapphire FUE – sapphire blades create precise micro-channels for dense results.
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) – a specialized tool allows no-shave options for suitable patients.

Dr. Merdan Çelik leads the surgical team with over 20 years of experience. In 2019, he attended a hands-on FUE workshop held by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) in Istanbul.

Keloid Risk Management and Specialized Protocols

Global Health Hair has a structured protocol for patients prone to keloid scars (enlarged, raised scars). The team identifies risks through clinical history and Fitzpatrick skin type evaluation. When needed, the doctor performs a micro-graft test in a discreet donor area first.

If a keloid develops after transplant, treatment includes corticosteroid injections and silicone gel or sheets. Strict follow-up and light compression help manage healing for high-risk cases.

Technology and Diagnostic Tools

The clinic uses Sapphire blades during FUE extractions. These blades are sharper and more durable than steel. They cause less tissue trauma, so patients often heal faster with less inflammation. For no-shave procedures, DHI pens place grafts directly without prior incisions.

Services for International Patients

Global Health Hair offers all-inclusive packages for travelers. Spanish-speaking support is available from start to final follow-up. The team provides online consultations via WhatsApp before arrival.

International support includes:

Airport pickup and private transfers
Hotel stay at a boutique hotel in the clinic building
Round-trip flights with Turkish Airlines
Spanish-speaking personal translator
Visa support
Warranty certificate for the transplant

Post-operative care continues through direct WhatsApp contact for one year. The doctor reviews progress photos at 3, 6, and 12 months.

I recently had a hair transplant at Health and Hair Corporation, and I cannot express how thrilled I am with the entire experience! From the moment I arrived in Istanbul, the team made me feel completely at ease with their warm hospitality and professionalism. The entire medical staff were exceptional. They explained every detail of the procedure thoroughly, ensuring I felt confident and informed every step of the way. The FUE technique they used was minimally invasive and virtually painless, and the care I received was top-notch. The post-operative care was equally impressive. I was provided with detailed instructions and support, and the team was always available to answer any questions I had. It’s been 3 days since my procedure, and I am amazed by the natural-looking results and the hairline that always I dream. If you are considering a hair transplant, I highly recommend Health and Hair Corporation. Their expertise, dedication, and genuine care for their patients make them the best in the field. Thank you, Health and Hair Corporation, for transforming my life!

I recently had a fantastic experience at Health and Hairs Corporation for a hair transplant. From the warm welcome to the amazing service throughout the procedure, I was thoroughly impressed. is more than a hair implant, they have the best service, quality and competitive price. The staff was attentive and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Even after the procedure, the after-sale service was exceptional. The manager has smiley face, educate the clients before the operation, shows us around, where to eat the best Turkish food, where to shop, her service is five star tour guide. I highly recommend Health and Hair Corportation for anyone considering a hair transplant. There's no other way. Thank you for the fantastic experience!"

This is the second time I’ve had a hair implant at Healthandhairs, and the results were surprising in the first operation. Ms. Houry is always very attentive and concerned about the well-being of her clients. Not to mention that even after the operation she always asks if you’re taking the medication correctly and washing it properly. And you can’t wear a hat at the beginning, you can’t drink alcohol, you can’t smoke for 1 month, and you shouldn’t even have sex—thankfully it’s only for 10 days, hahaha. Anyway, I highly recommend this company because everything is very well handled and the people are very attentive from start to finish. I liked so much that I even went back to have the second implant, and this time too I was treated very well. Ms. Houry even took a Sunday off to take me for a walk and get to know a bit more about Istanbul. It was a very pleasant day. From Istanbul airport to the hotel, and from the hotel to the clinic, both on the way there and on the way back, everything was perfect. You can trust them, and the result is 100% guaranteed if you do everything right. Thank you very much, Houry

Completely satisfied!!! If I could give 100 stars, I would. Since day one, Madame Houry has been there for me beyond the moment I arrived, right up until the moment I left. I can’t describe how responsible and professional she was. The doctor who operated on me was incredibly kind. Like the other people who mentioned him, he does everything he can to make sure all your questions get answered. He works with you to address your health concerns rather than simply telling you what to do. He wants to make sure you and he are on the same page and comfortable. I strongly recommend it to everyone considering plastic surgery. You have one place you can trust without thinking twice, and it’s “HEALTH AND HAIR”. Thank you, Health and Hair, for giving me a new life.
