UK patients researching hair transplants abroad often see the phrase “all-inclusive” used loosely — sometimes it means the procedure only, sometimes it includes a hotel, rarely is the full list spelled out before you book. Here is exactly what is and is not included in a Global Health Hair package, with nothing left for a “we’ll discuss it later” conversation.
What’s Included in the €1,990 All-Inclusive Package?
- The procedure itself — performed personally by Dr. Merdan Çelik, MD, start to finish. FUE Sapphire is the base package; DHI is available for €2,175.
- Pre-operative blood tests — done on arrival, before the procedure is confirmed.
- Hotel accommodation — 3 nights at a Boutique Premium Hotel in the Şişli district of Istanbul, the same neighbourhood as the clinic, with breakfast and a 24/7 team.
- Airport and clinic transfers — for the full duration of your stay, arranged around your flight times.
- Post-operative medication — everything prescribed after the procedure.
- Aftercare kit — specialist shampoo and lotion to take home.
- 12 months of remote follow-up — check-ins with the clinical team via WhatsApp and email as your hair grows in.
What’s Not Included in the Package?
The only cost not covered by the package is your return flight to Istanbul, which typically runs £80–£250 depending on the airline and how far ahead you book. There are no hidden extras added once you land — no per-graft surcharges, no “premium technique” upsell, no surprise clinic fee.
What’s the Difference Between the FUE and DHI Packages?
Both techniques come with the identical package above. The only difference is the technique itself and the €185 price gap:
| Technique | All-inclusive price | What’s included |
|---|---|---|
| FUE Sapphire | €1,990 | Procedure, hotel, transfers, medication, aftercare kit, 12-month follow-up |
| DHI | €2,175 | Same as FUE Sapphire, using the Direct Hair Implantation technique (no shaving required) |

Why Doesn’t the Package Price Change With Graft Count?
Unlike UK clinics, which typically price per graft (so your bill grows with the extent of your hair loss), Global Health Hair charges the same fixed price whatever your graft count. Dr. Çelik confirms the exact number of grafts you need during your free assessment, and the price stays €1,990 (FUE) or €2,175 (DHI) regardless of whether that number is 1,500 or 5,000.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the deposit part of the €1,990, or extra?
The deposit secures your surgery date and is deducted from the total €1,990 (or €2,175 for DHI) — it is not an additional cost. The balance is settled at the clinic.
Do I need to bring cash for anything once I arrive?
No — everything in the package list above is prepaid. Cards are accepted for the balance; your bank may add a 1–3% foreign transaction fee, which is the only reason to check your card terms before travelling.
What happens if I need more than one session?
This is confirmed during your free assessment, before you book. Final graft count and whether one session is sufficient are both discussed with Dr. Çelik directly, not decided after arrival.
