Global Health Hair is a hair restoration clinic in Istanbul's Şişli district. The team specializes in Sapphire FUE and DHI no-shave techniques. Every procedure is performed by a licensed doctor, not a technician. Dr. Merdan Çelik founded the clinic in 1997. He earned his medical degree from Trakya University and is certified in Aesthetic Medicine. Over 22 years, he has treated more than 20,000 patients.
The clinic limits bookings to three patients per day for focused care. It holds JCI accreditation, ISO 9000, and ISO 15189 certification. Two licensed doctors lead the team and run keloid risk assessments. Most international patients come from Spain and the United Kingdom. All-inclusive packages include Spanish-speaking support and hotel rooms inside the clinic building.
The clinic holds several international quality certifications:
Dr. Merdan Celik is certified in Aesthetic Medicine by the Turkish Ministry of Health.
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:
Dr. Merdan Celik leads the surgical team with over 20 years of experience. He has operated on more than 20,000 patients since 1997. He earned his medical degree at Trakya University and completed advanced FUE training through the ISHRS.
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.
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.
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:
Post-operative care continues through direct WhatsApp contact for one year. The doctor reviews progress photos at 3, 6, and 12 months.
