Elit Hair Transplant Turkey Review Summary

Booking process

4/5

The Elit Hair Transplant Turkey website offers extensive information for those considering a hair transplant procedure, and the booking process has been well detailed. If you’re looking for information tailored to your situation, their customer service is available 24/7, and they also offer free consultation and hair analysis. You can submit the photos of your bald areas via the Elit Hair Transplant Turkey WhatsApp contact, after which, your results will be discussed through a telephone call with their team of experts.

While they offer a free and precise hair analysis, one major drawback with the clinic’s website is their lack of a clear price list. Only by consulting them will you find out their price ranges, and this could be a waste of time, especially if their costs are way over your budget.

(Pre-operational) Consultations

1/5

Before you visit to Elit Hair Transplant Turkey, a medical consultant, will provide information on what to expect before the trip. They only prep you on the basics of the procedure and not issues such as visa application. The clinic advises against smoking and drinking in excess before the procedure to minimize bleeding but there are no guidelines on nutrition or supplements.

As for pre-operational consultation, the clinic doesn’t offer any, which is unnerving since the client is not an expert, and the process is happening in a foreign location. There is no possibility of getting any clear information from their website, and this can be quite unsettling given the magnitude of the operation in question.

Arrival & Accommodation

3/5

Once you land at the airport, Elit Hair Transplant will have their driver pick you up and take you to the clinic for a blood test after which they will take you to the Ramada hotel. This is a four-star hotel so it doesn’t score a point as we only award points for five star accommodation.

The standard all-inclusive package includes VIP transfers from the hotel, clinic and airport, and a contact person for all your translation and different needs. Also, the clinic offers an additional service of booking your flights to and from Turkey at a fee. To sum it all, upon arrival, everything about your stay for the hair transplant will be taken care of from accommodation to the procedure.

And, on the third day, you’ll be advised on your post-operative phase and safely escorted back to the airport. However, we feel it is necessary to point out that the clinic could have done a better job of highlighting their all-inclusive packages on their website. The clinic loses a point for only providing 2 nights in their package as we think 3 is necessary to recover before your flight home.

Facility

3/5

Not only does Elit Hair Transplant use modern techniques for their procedures, but it is also fully equipped with state-of-the-art medical facilities. The hospital is certified by the Joint Commission International (JCI) which ensures it operates according to international health standards. Additionally, it has a large team of medical professionals and an interpreter at your disposal so there’ll be no communication barriers during your entire time in Turkey.

Elit Hair Transplant Clinic operates within the Istinye University Hospital, which has 214 inpatient beds, 11 operating rooms, and 51 intensive care beds. This means that while it is unlikely that an emergency would occur during your procedure if it does happen, they’ll be more than ready to take care of you. Also, the hospital has specialized in other services such as plastic surgery and has a team of experienced specialists.

Surgery & Doctor Involvement

3/5

At Elit Hair Transplant Clinic, you’re in safe hands when it comes to the procedure since Dr Balwi, one of the most recognized doctors in the field, will be leading your surgery. Besides that, an elite operational team will also be involved in your operation to guarantee perfection. A native speaker will always be at your side throughout the procedure for seamless communication.

Aftercare

1/5

With exceptional expertise, Elit Hair Transplant clinic is so convinced of the quality of their work that they offer a 90% hair growth guarantee for all their clients. On the other hand, their aftercare package has an unfinished feel as they do not provide elaborate details on post-op consultations and, there are no financing options to make payments more affordable. Although they offer aftercare products to their clients that help to ensure an optimum result, the products are only available at an extra cost.

Conclusion - We rate Elit Hair Transplant 2.5 out of 5

If you are looking for a clinic with a well-trained team of medical experts, then Elit Hair Transplant is an excellent choice. Unfortunately, there are also other areas they should work on to warrant a higher score than the average 2.5 out of 5.

While the Elit Hair Transplant website offers in-depth information about its procedures and the clinic in general, the overall structure of the care could be better. One of the key gaps to note on the website is the oversight of aftercare information and particularly post-operational consultations. Also, their offering of four-star accommodation for only 2 nights is rather disappointing.

On the plus side, Elit Hair Transplant Turkey is located within a hospital and has an expert team to perform the operation. Additionally their guarantee of the procedure is also a big plus, as if it doesn’t work you’ll be reimbursed. However, like several clinics in Turkey they don’t have a detailed pricing policy on their website, which is frustrating.
