The average cost of a Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant in Turkey in 2026 ranges from €1,900 to €3,200. This price typically includes the surgery, hotel accommodation, VIP transfers, and post-operative care. Unlike older methods, this technique utilizes precious gemstone blades to create finer incisions, allowing for higher density and faster healing.
Why Does Sapphire FUE Cost More?
The price difference between Sapphire FUE and Classic FUE (usually €300 – €500) is primarily due to the consumable cost of the gemstone blades. In Classic FUE, steel blades are often reused or cheap to manufacture. Sapphire blades are precision-cut from single crystals of synthetic sapphire.
These blades are single-use medical consumables that retain their sharpness for thousands of incisions without causing tissue damage. They allow surgeons to open “V-shaped” channels rather than “U-shaped” ones, which enables closer spacing of grafts (higher density) and minimizes trauma to the scalp.
Clinic Care Center: Expert Warning
When researching costs, beware of clinics offering ‘Sapphire FUE’ at the exact same price as standard FUE. Real sapphire blades are expensive medical consumables. If the price is too low (e.g., under €1,500), the clinic may be using standard steel blades and simply calling it ‘Sapphire’ for marketing purposes. Always ask to see the sealed Sapphire blade package before your surgery begins.

Factors That Affect Your Package Price
While most clinics offer fixed-price packages, specific medical requirements can influence the final quote:
- Graft Count (Mega Sessions): If you require an extremely high number of grafts (5,000+), the procedure may need to be split over two consecutive days to ensure safety, which effectively doubles the operational cost.
- Surgeon Involvement: Packages where the Chief Surgeon personally opens the Sapphire channels (rather than a technician) are priced higher due to the doctor’s time and expertise.
- Anesthesia: Standard packages include local anesthesia. If you prefer Sedation (Twilight Anesthesia) to sleep during the injections, this typically incurs an extra fee of €200 – €300 due to the presence of an anesthesiologist.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is 4000 grafts Sapphire hair transplant?
In Turkey, a 4,000 graft Sapphire FUE procedure generally falls within the standard package price of €1,900 to €2,500. Unlike European clinics that charge per graft, Turkish clinics typically offer “Maximum Graft” packages that cover up to 4,500 grafts for a fixed fee.
Is Sapphire FUE worth the extra money?
Yes, specifically for patients seeking high density at the hairline. The sharpness of the Sapphire blade allows channels to be placed closer together without merging, creating a denser, more natural look. The faster healing time (scabs often clear in 7-10 days) is also a significant benefit.
Do I pay per graft in Turkey?
No, the majority of clinics operate on a Fixed Package System. This means you pay one price regardless of whether you receive 3,000 or 4,000 grafts. This model prevents “surprise costs” on the day of surgery.
Are flights included in the price?
No, international flights are almost never included in medical packages. You are responsible for booking your own travel to Istanbul. However, once you arrive, VIP airport transfers are included to take you to the hotel and clinic.
Does the price include PRP?
Yes, a standard PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) session is included in 95% of Sapphire FUE packages. This is administered at the end of the surgery to boost graft survival and accelerate donor area healing.
Can I pay in installments?
Most clinics in Turkey require payment in full on the day of surgery. Installment plans are rarely available for international patients unless arranged through a third-party medical financing company in your home country before you travel.
How much cash should I bring?
You should bring enough cash for your package balance (if paying in cash often yields a discount) and approximately €200 – €300 for personal expenses, dinners, and tips. Most clinics accept payment in Euros, Dollars, or Pounds.
