Stem cell hair treatment is a regenerative treatment for hair loss offered at FixedAbroad in Istanbul. It uses cells taken from your own tissue, prepared in the clinic and applied to areas of the scalp affected by thinning. Whether it is appropriate for you, and how it fits into your treatment plan, is decided at consultation based on your hair-loss pattern and medical history.
Discover the benefits of stem cell hair treatment in Turkey.
What the Treatment Aims to Do
Stem cell hair treatment is intended to support the scalp and existing hair follicles in areas affected by thinning. What it may achieve varies between patients and is assessed before treatment is offered.
Scalp Condition
Chronic inflammation in the scalp is a common contributor to hair thinning. Scalp condition is one of the factors reviewed during assessment, and it influences whether this treatment is recommended.
How the Treatment Is Delivered
The prepared cells are applied to the scalp by fine injection rather than by moving hair follicles. A small tissue sample is collected first under local anaesthetic. Your surgeon will explain what this involves and what to expect while the sample site heals.

Adding the stem cells to my hair transplant was totally worth it. It's been 9 months, and the 5,000 grafts filled in crazy thick. I think it made me heal way faster too. Definitely get the stem cell option if you can.
What Is Stem Cell Hair Treatment?
Stem cell hair treatment — also referred to as stem cell hair restoration — is a regenerative treatment that uses cells from your own body, typically taken from fat tissue, and applies them to areas of the scalp affected by thinning.
It works differently from a hair transplant, which relocates hair follicles from one area of the scalp to another. Whether one, the other, or a combination is appropriate depends on your assessment.
How Stem Cell Hair Treatment Is Performed?
Non-Surgical, Low-Risk
1Local Anesthesia & Tissue Collection
The procedure begins with the application of a local anesthetic to ensure patient comfort. A punch biopsy is performed to extract adipose tissue containing stem cells. This small sample—typically 60–70 cc of fat tissue—is taken from the area behind the ear using a circular blade to remove a 2.5 mm cylindrical sample of tissue. The extracted fat is then fragmented into particles smaller than 50 microns.
2Stem Cell Isolation
The harvested tissue is then processed in a centrifuge, where it undergoes rapid spinning to isolate stem cells from other components.
3Activation with Proteins
Certain growth factors, cytokines, and signaling proteins may be introduced to "activate" or guide the behavior of the stem cells.
4Precision Microinjections
The purified stem cell solution is then strategically injected into the scalp using fine microinjections. Target areas with hair thinning or early-stage hair loss are carefully treated to ensure optimal delivery to hair follicles. The number and placement of injections is planned around your individual pattern of thinning.

5/5 Stars — Exceptional care from start to finish! My experience has been nothing short of fantastic. I was looked after throughout the whole journey, right from the initial consultation all the way through to the aftercare service. Flying to a different country for a procedure can be daunting, but the whole experience put me at ease, which is exactly what you want. The team has been brilliant at providing very useful information and help whenever I've needed it, including constant check-ins to see how I'm getting on and to provide feedback on my progress. During the surgery itself, I was looked after exceptionally well. The medical team kept me updated throughout the procedure about what was happening, continuously checking to make sure I was doing well and seeing if I needed anything. I'm really looking forward to seeing my results in the upcoming months. The whole experience was excellent, and I couldn't recommend them enough for their professionalism, guidance, and dedicated support!

Had an excellent experience at FixedAbroad. Dr. Ahmet Azak was meticulous in his work, and did an amazing job. From the hotel they lodge you in, to all the coordination that is involved, I had about as comfortable of an experience as anyone could have.
Would highly recommend.

Once the sample is collected and processed, the prepared cells are injected into the areas being treated. What the treatment is expected to achieve in your case is discussed before the procedure.
Why Choose Stem Cell Hair Treatment?
Patients consider stem cell hair restoration for different reasons: it uses their own tissue, it is delivered by injection rather than by relocating follicles, and it can be considered alongside other treatment options.
It is not suitable for everyone. The appropriate approach depends on the protocol and on individual assessment.
Who Stem Cell Hair Treatment May Suit
Stem cell therapy is ideal for:
Early to moderate pattern baldness
Diffuse thinning
Hair loss linked to scalp inflammation
It may not be suitable if your hair loss is advanced, you have an active scalp condition or infection, or a medical condition or medication may affect healing.
Suitability is confirmed at consultation. Your scalp, hair-loss pattern and medical history are reviewed before treatment is agreed.

VALUE COMPARISON
Transparent pricing. No Surprise.
It is not just about “saving costs,” but about “safeguarding the overall wellbeing” of you.
Your treatment plan and price are confirmed after consultation — and won't change on the day. No hidden fees. The price you're quoted is the price you pay.
The number of sessions is planned around your individual case and confirmed at consultation. A follow-up session may be considered later if appropriate.
Is there a recovery period after stem cell therapy?
Recovery is generally straightforward. You will receive aftercare instructions for both the treated area and the site where the tissue sample was collected. Your clinical team will explain when you can return to normal activity and exercise.
Where can stem cell treatment be applied?
This method can be used on scalp hair, eyebrows, and beards, depending on the patient’s needs.
What is stem cell hair therapy?
Stem cell hair therapy is a regenerative procedure that involves extracting stem cells—typically from fat tissue behind the ear—processing them to isolate regenerative compounds, and injecting them into the scalp to stimulate new hair growth and improve hair density.
How is the stem cell procedure performed?
1. You’re placed under local anesthesia. 2. A punch biopsy is used to remove a small fat tissue sample (60–70 cc) from behind the ear. 3. The tissue is spun in a centrifuge to isolate the stem cells. 4. These stem cells are then injected into the scalp where hair loss is visible, activating hair follicle regeneration.
How long does the stem cell hair treatment take?
The full treatment takes approximately 1 hour, including fat extraction, stem cell separation, and injection into the scalp.
When will I see results from the treatment?
Results develop gradually and vary between patients. Your surgeon will explain a realistic timeframe for your case based on your pattern of hair loss. A specific outcome or date should not be promised in advance.
Are there any risks or side effects?
Every medical treatment carries some risk. Stem cell hair treatment involves local anaesthetic, collection of a small tissue sample and scalp injections. Your surgeon will explain the possible side effects before treatment and tell you what is normal during recovery.
How long do the results last?
Hair loss is an ongoing process, and no hair treatment stops it permanently. How long the effect lasts varies between patients and depends on the cause and progression of hair loss. Follow-up needs are discussed at consultation.
