Beard transplant in Global Health Hair
About the clinic
Beard transplant at Global Health Hair in Istanbul, Turkey, typically runs around $2,300. This procedure helps men achieve a thicker, more shaped beard through Sapphire FUE or DHI techniques. Dr. Merdan Çelik MD personally performs every transplant, bringing over 20 years of surgical experience and a track record of 20,000+ procedures.
Advanced Transplantation Techniques
The clinic specializes in two main methods for facial hair restoration. Sapphire FUE uses blades made from sapphire to create tiny, precise channels for the grafts. This helps the skin heal faster and allows for high density. For patients who need exact hair angle control, Dr. Merdan Çelik MD uses the DHI technique. DHI uses a special pen-like tool to implant hairs directly into the face. This is particularly useful for the jawline and mustache areas where hair direction is critical.
The number of grafts depends on the patient's goals. A partial fill for patchy areas usually needs 500 to 1,500 grafts. A full beard reconstruction may require between 2,000 and 3,500 grafts. Doctors take these hairs from the back of the scalp, similar to a traditional hair transplant.
What the Package Includes
International patients can choose all-inclusive packages to make their stay easier. A standard beard transplant package may cost around $2,300 and includes:
- FUE Sapphire surgery performed by Dr. Merdan Çelik MD
- Premium boutique hotel stay in Istanbul
- Private transfers between the airport, hotel, and clinic
- Post-operative kit with all necessary medications
- 12-month medical follow-up conducted via WhatsApp
Patients also have the option to combine scalp and beard procedures. A combined Sapphire FUE session for both areas typically runs around $2,600. The clinic holds multiple quality certifications, including JCI, ISO 9000, and TÜV Rheinland.
Recovery and Results
The typical stay in Istanbul is 2 to 3 days. This time covers your arrival, the surgery, and a final review before you fly home. The clinic uses the GMAX system for painless pre-anesthesia to make the local numbing process comfortable. Patients usually see the first signs of new growth between 4 and 6 months after the procedure. The final, permanent beard shape is visible at the 12-month mark. During this year, the medical team reviews progress photos at regular intervals to monitor the results. If you are interested in improving your facial hair density, you can leave a request on Bookimed to receive a personal plan.

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.
