You already know the technique, and you have probably priced the Istanbul trip. Sima is the Aleppo clinic of Your Hair Center, Istanbul. The same specialists rotate to a licensed clinic in Aleppo, work by FUE to one standard, and quote you a Syrian price in writing before you book a seat, by graft count and donor area. Fly in direct from Istanbul, Sharjah or Kuwait, spend four nights, and fly home after the first wash with the team on WhatsApp every month until the twelfth. Travel is arranged by Sima and billed separately at cost.
Hair transplant for men, Istanbul's team in a licensed clinic in Aleppo
A hair transplant for men at Sima is performed by the same specialists who operate in our Istanbul centre. The technique is FUE, the result is the one people fly to Türkiye for, and the bill is Syrian.
Fly in on a direct flight, have the procedure in one day, and fly home after the first wash. A written plan before you travel, and the team on WhatsApp every month until the twelfth.

What the Istanbul trip costs, and what Sima costs
The procedure price alone is never the full price of a hair transplant for men. Fly to Istanbul and you pay for the flights, the hotel, the days away from work and a translator on top of the procedure. Fly to Aleppo and the same lines are billed at Syrian rates, and the procedure itself at a Syrian price, by the same team. Most FUE cases at Sima come to around ~$1,500, against roughly ~$2,570 to ~$4,800 for the equivalent Istanbul trip once flights, hotel and lost working days are counted. The lines below describe an average case of 3,000 to 3,500 grafts. Your figure is confirmed in writing after the consultation, by graft count and donor area.

|---|---|---|
| FUE procedure | Full procedure, Istanbul pricing | Full procedure, Syrian pricing, the same team |
| Return flights | From almost anywhere | Direct from Istanbul, Sharjah and Kuwait, or via Istanbul |

The consultation is free and commits you to nothing.
How the procedure works, FUE step by step
One day, one session, six to eight hours. No general anaesthetic and no overnight stay at the clinic. You are back at your hotel in the evening and sleep in a bed, not a ward.
Diagnosis
We draw the hairline, measure the donor area and set the graft plan. Every decision is taken with you, not about you.
Local anaesthetic
Local anaesthetic only, no general anaesthesia. You stay awake and comfortable throughout, and you can talk to the team.
Extraction
Follicles are taken from the donor area one by one with fine punches. No linear scar, no surgical incision.
Implantation
The follicles are placed in the target areas in a natural growth direction and at a calculated density, so they blend with your own hair.
Back to your hotel, or home
The same day, with no overnight stay. A light dinner, sleep with the head slightly raised, and a message from the team before you sleep.
Six to eight hours in the clinic, in total
Are you a candidate for a hair transplant for men by FUE
Good results do not depend on the technique alone but on the technique being right for you. This is a first reading. Your written assessment from photos comes next, and the final diagnosis is made in Aleppo at the pre-operative check, after the specialist has examined the scalp directly.
- Aged between 23 and 60
- Hair loss stable for at least 12 months
- A dense donor area at the sides and back

- Realistic expectations for the result at 12 months
- Able to commit to 7 to 10 days of recovery
- Under 23, the loss has not yet stabilised
- Active hair loss that has not been diagnosed
- A thin donor area
- Chronic conditions without medical stability
- Blood clotting disorders
- Complete baldness with no donor area
If you are not a candidate today, other treatments may suit you
Your journey from before the flight to month twelve
A hair transplant for men is one day in the clinic. The journey is twelve months. For all of it, one WhatsApp message reaches us, and a monthly photo follow-up continues wherever you are until the result is complete.
Before you fly
A WhatsApp message and a few photos. You receive a written plan with the expected graft count, the technique, the price and the dates that fit your trip, all before you book a seat. No obligation.
Day zero, procedure day
Back at your hotel by evening, with no overnight stay at the clinic. A light dinner, sleep with the head slightly raised on the pillow, and a message from the Sima team before you sleep.
The first week
The first wash at the clinic on day three, under the team’s supervision, and most visitors fly home on day four or five. Daily WhatsApp check-ins from the Sima team. The crusts begin to fall away naturally between day seven and day fourteen.
If you pray. Bow without the forehead touching the ground until day ten, wipe the head gently for wudu without rubbing the grafted or donor area, and tayammum is an accepted alternative for the first three days if you would rather keep water off the scalp.
Month one
Shock loss, a completely normal stage that every client goes through. The follicles beneath the skin are unaffected. A monthly check over WhatsApp, with photos, confirms the course.
Month three
The new hair appears, fine and short at first. You send a set of photos that we keep for comparison at month twelve. Everything runs to schedule.
Month six
Around 60% of the final density. You can style your hair normally, use everyday products, and return to full training without restrictions.
Month twelve, the final result
Your new look, complete. A final set of photos, and with your written consent a place in our documented gallery of results.
For the whole twelve months, one WhatsApp message is enough
Two centres, one team. You choose the city
Aleppo is not a substitute for Istanbul. It is the same operation in a quieter, far cheaper city that has just reopened to visitors, and the choice between the two is a choice of city, not of provider. If your case or your circumstances are better served in Istanbul, we say so and send you there.
Direct flights
Scheduled flights into Aleppo from Istanbul, Sharjah and Kuwait. Timetables still change at short notice, so we confirm your dates before you book a seat.
Visa on arrival
Most passports, including EU and US, receive a visa at Aleppo airport. The fee is paid in cash, in dollars or euros, and the passport needs three months of validity.
English from the first message
An English-speaking coordinator answers your WhatsApp, meets you at the airport and sits with you at the clinic. Hotel and pickup are arranged by Sima and billed separately at cost.
Most Western governments advise against travel to Syria
Recover in a city five thousand years old
Syria welcomed 3.52 million visitors in the first half of 2026, and 719,000 of them were foreign tourists. Aleppo’s citadel and much of its covered souq have reopened, the airport runs scheduled flights, and a tourism police force has been on the streets since May. Most Western governments still advise against travel to Syria. We say so plainly and link their advice on the travel guide, beside what operates on the ground. Sima does not sell you the trip. It plans the procedure around the trip, confirms the dates in writing, and leaves you a day for the old city before you fly. If you are Syrian and coming home, time the procedure with the visit. The team stays with you over WhatsApp after you fly back.
Read the Aleppo travel guideQuestions visitors ask before booking
When does the full result show?
A hair transplant for men shows its full result at month twelve. The final result of a hair transplant for men is complete at month twelve. New hair is noticeable from month three and reaches around 60% of the final density at month six. Full density and the natural feel of the hair arrive at month twelve, and the monthly photo follow-up runs until then wherever you are.
When can I go back to work?
Most visitors are back at a laptop two or three days after the procedure. Heavy physical work waits two weeks. The flight home is not a problem after the first wash at the clinic, and you do not need a long absence, because this is not conventional surgery.
How long does the care and follow-up last after I leave?
Active care lasts seven to ten days, after which you return to your normal life. Sima’s follow-up then continues monthly until month twelve, over WhatsApp with photos, or in the clinic if you are in Aleppo. Monthly follow-up is included in the original price until the twelfth month, with no extra fees.
Is the result permanent?
The result of a hair transplant for men by FUE is permanent, because the follicles come from the donor area that never thins. Yes. The transplanted follicles are taken from the donor area at the back of the head, where they are genetically resistant to the hormone behind male pattern loss. That resistance travels with them to the new area, so the result lasts for life.
Is it the same team as Your Hair Center in Istanbul, and what is the difference?
Yes. Sima is the Aleppo clinic of Your Hair Center, Istanbul. One owner, one operation, two centres, and the same specialists work in both. The difference is not in the hands. It is in the whole bill, which drops to a Syrian price for the procedure and Syrian rates for the stay, and in the city you recover in. Sima is a licensed clinic in Aleppo, and the Istanbul centre is a licensed medical-tourism centre working through accredited partner hospitals.
Is the procedure painful?
The anaesthetic is local only. You feel a slight sting at the first injection, then the sensitivity goes, and there is no pain during the hours that follow. In the first days after the procedure there is a feeling of tightness and some sensitivity in the scalp, managed with simple painkillers.
Is a hair transplant permissible in Islam?
For readers to whom the question matters, the majority of contemporary scholars permit it, treating it as the correction of a natural deficiency rather than a change to God’s creation, closer to orthodontics or setting a fracture. The follicles are moved from one part of your own body to another, with nothing foreign introduced. Islamic jurisprudence councils have issued rulings to that effect over more than thirty years.
How many nights do I need in Aleppo?
Four nights covers the pre-operative check, the procedure day, the first wash at the clinic and a day of rest. Many visitors add a day for the citadel and the souq. Flying home on the fourth or fifth day is normal, and the second wash on day ten is guided over WhatsApp wherever you are. Hotel and airport pickup are arranged by Sima and billed separately at cost.
Ready for your next step
Send your photos over WhatsApp. A doctor replies within an hour on working days with a written assessment, the expected graft count and the dates that fit your trip. The consultation is free and commits you to nothing.
