By Hair Clinic Istanbul – In-depth Review
By Hair Clinic Istanbul welcomes international clients, and they score 3 out of 5 for their booking process. Leaving your name, country, and phone number in their extended form is enough for a free online consultation during which they will determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure. You can reach By Hair Clinic Turkey via phone or email, and the text on their website can be translated into four other languages to make it more accessible.
Their website does not provide any detailed information on costs and who is going to carry out the procedure, which is a little disappointing. However, they do explain that the cost of the entire procedure depends on the number of grafts and the intricacy of the area. And it includes all post-operative medications and check-ups.
When you set an appointment with them, you will be presented with a clear trip itinerary, which is helpful because it makes you feel more secure before beginning the journey at By Hair Clinic Turkey. Although there’s not much detail on the website, it is revealed that you’ll be staying at a 4-5 star hotel for 3 days, which is for the full duration of the procedure.
Some people may find it concerning that there’s no information about pre-operational consultations or any way to collect more detailed information from other customers. Another negative is that the website says nothing about pre-operational kits, leaving it unclear whether or not they offer any. If you’re looking for nutrition or supplement advice to support hair growth, you won’t find it on their website either.
When it comes to arrival and accommodation, By Hair Clinic scores 4 out of 5. They provide a VIP transfer that will pick you up at the airport and take you to the hotel. Also, they provide an English-speaking coordinator to make sure you have the best experience.
Customers of By Hair Clinic Turkey are hosted at 4 and 5-star hotels that meet Western standards. Although they do not provide any examples of the hotels and more detailed information about them, which is quite disappointing. They do however, clearly state that the length of stay at the hotel is usually 3 days.
Blood tests are done on the day of the operation which can mean that customers are facing a waiting period, of a couple of hours which is not ideal on what is already going to be a long and stressful day. We think it’s best to have that done as soon as you arrive.
By Hair Clinic has a poor facility rating of 2/5. The clinic does not hold an A-license regulated by the Turkish government, which indicates a clinic that upholds the highest of hygiene standards. Another negative that we have to point out is that this clinic is not a Regulated EU Accredited Private Hospital with its own surgery room. Customers may struggle to look past this factor but, it must be taken into consideration anyway.
However, By Hair Clinic does provide lunch to their customers, and they also invite customers to mention any allergies or, special food preferences they have so that the clinic can make adjustments for them. The clinic offers an ergonomic chair and bed for extra comfort during the procedure. Also, they provide gadgets for entertainment, including the newest technology iPads on which customers can watch movies or listen to music to, somehow, make time go faster.
The clinic’s website does not mention specific members of the team. It is not stated if they have nurses and if there’s a reputable doctor who’s part of the operational team. Videos on their website show many people that might be doctors but, they don’t mention any, which is a serious red flag. They claim to provide an English-speaking medical team but, that is not enough.
To make the operation more effective, By Hair Clinic offers standard post-treatment packages. Their financing option gives customers an affordable way to pay with up to 12 months to settle the amount. Unsurprisingly, following the procedure, the clinic doesn’t offer the standard 3 post-operational consultations as this is difficult during a short stay, however, there is no mention of follow ups such as phonecalls, either. However, they do provide aftercare products and guarantee a 90% hair growth, which is likely to be true given the results on their page and numerous customers’ reviews.
By Hair Clinic draws a 2.17 rating from us, and here’s why. Although they go into detail when explaining the techniques behind the procedures, they don’t go any further. The fact that they offer a stay in a nice hotel and serve you lunch during the procedure means nothing if more important criteria isn’t fulfilled.
By Hair Clinic doesn’t operate in a hospital, and they do not offer any information on the doctors and nurses that perform the procedures so, we can only assume that there are none. They failed to make it clear whether they provide a pre-operational kit , but it seems likely that they don’t. They don’t offer any nutritional or supplement advice, and finally, prices are nowhere to be found so there’s no way you can tell if you can afford this clinic or not.
Weighing the qualities of By Hair Clinic Turkey against the areas where they seem to fall short, some clients may be drawn to the effort that they put into making the experience carefree and enjoyable. While others may find their failure to provide information on certain key services too off-putting.
By Hair Clinic doesn’t provide any details on the identity of the doctor who performs the operation. Likewise, their website doesn’t mention any of the members of their hair transplant team. This information is also unavailable on their social media pages. Because the clinic hasn’t made this information immediately available, it’s difficult to determine who performs the surgeries. It’s also difficult to know their exact specialization or any of the specific details of their background.
There’s plenty of before and after videos on their website but, those only show details of the treatment and close ups of the actual hair transplant procedures. However, there is no indication of a doctor involvement or a specialized team of nurses, no team photos or any evidence that they work with experienced and skilled proffesionals anywhere on their website. With that said, vital information is missing on their website, and it certainly looks intentional.
By Hair Clinic Turkey shares a lot of pictures and videos of clients on whom they’ve performed hair transplants. In the videos, all of them seem highly satisfied with the service. There are also pictures of them before the transplant for comparison. The pictures and videos are regularly updated, almost on a daily basis.
By Hair Clinic Turkey offers various services, and one of the most popular is DHI Unshaved Hair Transplantation. For this procedure, the customer doesn’t need to shave their head. Instead, hair is taken from certain donor areas and transplanted onto the areas of the scalp where balding or thinning have started to occur.
Another type of hair transplantation they offer is FUE, which involves taking follicular units from the back and sides of the head, and transferring them to the recipient area. This treatment is performed under local anesthesia and doesn’t leave any scars or stitching. With this technique, between 3000 -15000 hair strands are transferred in only one session, which will then blend with the hairs in the transplanted area.
By Hair Clinic Turkey doesn’t list exact prices on their website or any of their social media accounts. This may be due to the exact price being worked out after you’ve had your consultation and they’ve figured out your needs. Their blog suggests that your hair transplant can cost you between 1,500 and 2000 euros but, make sure to contact the clinic directly to find out the exact price.
The all-inclusive package offered by the clinic covers everything you’ll be needing as you travel to Istanbul, along with the materials you’ll need once your surgery is completed. A stay at a four or five-star hotel is also offered for maximum comfort, and you get a warranty certificate for added assurance.
Yes, and you can type in @byhairclinic into the search bar to find their Facebook account. They have an Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter account, and they upload regularly to keep their followers posted.
From the numerous pictures available on their website and social media posts, it appears they are not performing surgeries in a hospital setting merely what appears to be high-end treatment rooms.
No. By Hair Clinic does not have an A-license, and that means that if any complications occur, you will be sent to the nearest hospital.
