Global Health Hairでの自毛植毛術

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.
