The appearance of bald patches or significant baldness is not a sentence now! Modern methods of hair transplantation allow you to return your hair to its former luxurious look. At the same time, it will look so natural that others will not even guess about the procedure.
The choice of method (FUE or DHI) usually depends on the degree of baldness. The patient is transplanted with their own hair follicles, after transplantation there are no noticeable scars or scars.
The procedure takes place in one stage: hair follicles are removed from the back of the head and immediately transplanted into the area of baldness.
I used the services of Experts Medical and wanted a hair transplant in Turkey. Vadim, the coordinator, provided me with all the information and accompanied me online. I was provided with hotel, transfer, interpreter, after surgery medication. And good attitude, everyone is polite and professional. We keep in touch after the operation. I recommend, very professional team.
Hello. Finally, my old dream came true – to have a hair transplant in the wonderful Cosmedica clinic.
Everything went great! I am very glad. Service is top notch. Assistance from the beginning and organization of the trip to the escort back.
The hotel is super, free shuttle too. There is a team of professionals who know their business.
I recommend this clinic and Dr. Akar to everyone!!!
I would like to thank Dr. Vadim from the bottom of my heart for the work he did in good faith, for the time he spent, for his efforts and efforts. With his help, we went to Turkey for a hair transplant, and it’s too early to talk about the result, but Vadim’s work left only a positive impression. There is no doubt about the quality of the work – it is just on top!
First of all, I want to thank my Dr. Ilhan and his team. After 3 years of searching, when I met Ilhan, whose clinic I went to, I did not even hesitate after the first examination and decided to have a hair transplant. He and his team are masters of their craft. He is personally involved in the operation, his interest and leadership subsequently motivate people and play an important role in achieving successful results.
I think that for those who are considering a hair transplant, it will be enough to meet with Ilhan. Thanks again, Dr. Ilhan.
It was worth it! I felt comfortable throughout the whole process!
I am now post-operative period, the 3rd day.
Dr. Akar and staff are professional and courteous. Being an American in a foreign country, there were fears, all this is new to me. But all my fears were dispelled when I came to Cosmedica.
Upon arrival in the city, I received a WhatsApp message from the clinic staff, and I was picked up and taken to the clinic, provided with a hotel. Doctors explain everything, and you do not worry, because you are always aware of what is happening.
I am very pleased that I chose Cosmedica and Dr. Akar. And the result of a hair transplant, of course. 🙂
Since the day I decided to have a hair transplant, I have spent a lot of time looking for information about clinics and doctors. I went to Ilhan Serdaroglu’s clinic, considering that he is a plastic surgeon. There are also many good reviews about it on the Internet, which is encouraging. I came for an interview and the very sight of the doctor, his attitude, convinced me of the correctness of the decision to do a transplant in his clinic. The hair transplant took place on 02/19/2020 and there were no problems during the transplant. On the second day everything was fine. I would like to thank my Dr. Ilkhan Serdaroglu and his team. And I will recommend it to anyone considering hair transplant.
Despite the fact that the recovery after the operation is not easy, I have no doubt that I made the right decision.
I am writing a review 23 days after the operation (FUE hair transplant).
Dr. Ilker is super professional as is his team. I had the procedure 3 weeks ago, it’s hard to recover, but still I don’t regret choosing Dr. Ilker. In addition, I would like to mention the entire team of Dr. Apaydin, very kind people, they always supported and explained everything. With such support, you feel that you are in a safe place and in the BEST hands. Dr. Ilker did an amazing hairline for me and I can’t wait to see the full results and can’t wait a few more months. I recommend Dr. Ilker Apaydin to anyone who wants to do a hair transplant.
Hello, my name is Shlomi and I would like to write about Dr. Ilker APAIDIN. This doctor gave me a hair transplant 2 years ago and since then I am very happy with the result. I don’t stop getting compliments and I think it’s important to check with the doctor you’re going to before running for a transplant. Ilker is a champion and professional and knows exactly how to conduct the process at the highest level. I only recommend it!
A year ago, I made the decision to have a hair transplant. I had a fairly large area of baldness, and the donor area was weak, I was determined to do the transplant only with the doctor who exactly met my expectations. After talking with many doctors from all over the world, I decided to go to Dr. Ilker Apaydin in Istanbul (I do not live there). From the first moment I entered the clinic in Istanbul, the staff and the doctor were very kind. Dr. Ilker Apaydin explained the procedure step by step. Throughout the entire operation, I felt in good hands. After the operation, I received clear instructions and Dr. Ilker’s personal phone number for any questions. The process exceeded all my expectations.
A year after the first hair transplant, I was very pleased with the results.
Since the first transplant was focused on the anterior region, I decided to return to Dr. Ilker’s clinic and have another hair transplant in the crown region. After a successful first hair transplant, I had no doubt that I would go to Dr. Ilker Apaydin again.
To be continued…
I am very pleased with how the whole procedure went.
Dr. Ilker and his team are amazing! They made my stay in Istanbul and the operation like a walk in the park!
I did not feel any pain, received all the recommendations for medications, treatment after surgery and advice for the next year!
Can’t wait to see my results!
Special thanks to the doctor’s assistant Leyla, who helped me with everything, immediately answered all my questions, whether it was surgery, postoperative period or related to Istanbul. She is wonderful!
Sharing the final results after 11 months. It is very convenient to make a hair transplant in the Cosmedica clinic in terms of service! Three hours on the plane and I’m in Istanbul. By the way, I was not there, I liked the city very much. As they say, a nice bonus.
What did you like. Competent and timely support in Russian. The hotel is comfortable. The hair transplant itself is virtually painless, with the exception of local anesthesia. During the procedure, I even dozed off, there was no discomfort.
The cost of transplantation does not depend on the number of grafts (upper limit 5000). According to the photos that he sent before the operation, they said 2500 grafts were needed, after examining Dr. Akar, they prescribed 3800, and 4000 were transplanted during the operation itself.
The guys are really focused on the result.
The problem of hair loss began to bother me at the age of 20. I learned about hair transplant in Istanbul on the forum. Many clinics offer this service. I chose a clinic for a long time, in the end I ended up on Cosmedica’s Instagram. They impressed me with a huge number of before and after examples. I decided to turn to Dr. Levent Akar.
Impressions from the clinic are only positive: Doctors, staff, service – all at the highest level. All issues that arose were resolved at any time of the day or night.
A few details about my case: About 5 thousand grafts were transplanted to me, the procedure was divided into 2 days. Everything went smoothly, I didn’t even need painkillers)
I thought about hair transplantation for a long time, but this year I decided to do it. Since Turkey has the best specialists, there were no problems choosing a country, but I could not decide in which clinic to do it.
I watched a lot of YouTube videos and immediately noticed the Сosmedica clinic.
Then I tried to consult via e-mail, it was very pleasant that they quickly answered all my questions. As soon as I arrived in Turkey, I was immediately warmly welcomed, taken care of, the hotel was 10 points.
The staff at the clinic is just super, they treat you like family, I never thought that there are such nice and caring people in Turkey.
Satisfied with the result. I advise Cosmedica clinic to everyone, you will definitely not regret it.
Many thanks to all the staff, and especially to Dr. Akar.
I went to Dr. Ilkhan Serdaroglu on the recommendation of my friend. I did a hair transplant, fears are in vain, it does not hurt at all. The calmness of the doctor calms. I think if you are thinking about a hair transplant, don’t even wait a day, go to Dr. Ilhan right away, you won’t regret it. Many thanks to the friendly doctor and his team.
The doctor and his team were very responsive and understanding, provided a very warm welcome. During hair transplantation, about 4000 grafts were transplanted. There was almost no pain either during the hair transplant operation or after. Recommended.
My Hair transplantation DHI
I would like to start with the fact that I had a hair transplantation. By the DHI method. Everything was on a hight level from the begging. First of all, I had a call with a doctor, who told me everything what I need about surgery and answered for all of my questions. Than, I was met by a personal driver from the airport, settled in a hotel. The hotel included breakfast and 3 nights (as I checked usually in another clinics it includes only 2 nights). Also, I had a translator (personal manager) attached to me. Since the operation lasted 6 hours, I was fed. After that, they took me by taxi to the hotel (although it is 2 minutes away). They gave me a special pillow, hat, shampoo, pillows and instructions. The next day, a doctor washed my hair and checked my head. After being discharged, I was taken to the airport. I liked everything, I put 10 out of 5. Now I am waiting for the result of the transplant (at least 6-8 months). I hope that I will also be pleasantly surprised! I can safely recommend Istanbul Aesthetic Center and doctor Oya Sisman!

The cost of hair transplantation in Turkey is on average 2 times lower than in the CIS countries, for doctors with a similar level of qualification with a significantly higher quality of Turkish service.
In Turkey, clinics replace equipment with new equipment on average every 5 years. Therefore, Turkey is one of the countries with a high level of medical equipment in the world.
Since Turkey is the capital of plastic surgery in the world, patients from all over the world come there.
Thanks to this, plastic surgeons have gained tremendous experience and a strong reputation around the world.
Turkey is a popular tourist destination. Therefore, patients can combine pleasant experiences from learning a new country and excellent transformations.
A hair transplant in Turkey is a minimally invasive procedure that doctors use to restore the hairline of patients. Turkey is a leader in hair transplantation and aesthetic procedures. Qualified plastic surgeons and trained medical personnel work in specialized clinics in the country. For foreigners, the cost of hair transplant surgery in Turkey is more affordable compared to similar procedures in other countries.
Some specialized clinics in Turkey are accredited and certified by international organizations. The medical centers that Beauty by Experts Medical cooperates with are certified by Joint Commission International. JCI is an international organization that accredits hospitals around the world. In addition, these hair transplant clinics in Istanbul and other major cities in the country are ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified.
Hair transplant methods in Turkey to increase hair volume
Translantologists in Turkey work in accordance with modern trends in plastic surgery and aesthetics. The main methods that are used are Follicular Unit Extraction and Direct Hair Implantation.
FUE (follicular extraction unit)
This is a hair transplant method, in which follicles are removed from the donor area and transplanted into the bald area. FUE is one of the most popular hair transplant methods in Turkey. It is used to treat alopecia and other hair problems.
During the FUE procedure, doctors use special micro-instruments to extract hair follicles and transplant them. The maximum number of grafts that can be transplanted at one time depends on many factors, such as the size of the bald area and the density of the donor area. Usually, the number of grafts for one transplantation session is from 1,000 to 4,000 pieces.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes 4 to 8 hours.
The results of a hair transplant after the FUE method can be seen in 6-12 months.
Organic Hair Transplant
This is a procedure that combines the FUE method and stem cell injections. Organic hair transplantation promotes better hair growth and faster skin repair.
This combined method is not yet widely used. This is due to the fact that the FDA has not yet officially approved cell therapy. However, according to Turkish clinics, this method has a beneficial effect in cases of hair transplantation.
If desired, the patient can strengthen the hair follicles in the traditional way. Doctors also provide popular PRP therapy. These are special injections that contain platelet-rich plasma.
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation)
This is a hair transplantation method that is a modification of FUE. It lies in the fact that the process of extraction and transfer of follicles occurs simultaneously without the need to create incisions.
During the DHI procedure, a special tool is used – Choi Implanter Pen. It allows precise control of the angle and depth of implantation of hair follicles. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes 4 to 8 hours. The final result can be assessed in about a year when the hair has fully grown and it will be possible to simulate any hairstyle.
Additional methods that Turkish specialists can apply
In Turkey, doctors practice an individual approach to each person. Therefore, experts boldly take on any cases of alopecia. Having extensive experience in transplantation, they apply various techniques in order to finally solve the aesthetic problem of the patient.
HFE (Hair For Ever) is a fairly safe method of completely restoring lost hair. It lies in the collection of grafts and implantation in a specially prepared area manually. This is a painstaking operation that takes more time than modern techniques. However, it allows for avoiding the appearance of aesthetic defects in the donor material sampling area.
FUT or flap hair transplant is rarely used. However, in some situations, only it is suitable for patients. FUT is a hair transplant method in which donor follicles are taken from the back of the patient’s head. Grafts are implanted into small incisions that the doctor makes in the area of baldness. This method is used to treat large areas with alopecia and allows to transfer a large number of grafts in one session. FUT has its drawbacks such as a large scar after surgery and a long recovery period. That is, the patient will have a mark on the back of the head in the donor area. Such a cosmetic defect can be removed over time by laser resurfacing. Some people resort to better disguise through tattooing.
IPF is a combined hair transplant technique. To remove donor flaps, a special apparatus is used, and hair transplantation is performed directly using a medical fountain pen and a scalpel with tweezers.
Which method is suitable in your case, you can decide on a preliminary consultation with a Turkish doctor. Doctors always listen to the opinion of patients, so they clearly explain the benefits and risks for each patient.

Men have a unique opportunity to create the desired shape of a beard and mustache with insufficient volume. Turkish specialists carry out facial hair transplantation in such a way that the result satisfies the wishes of people and looks beautiful and natural at the same time.
For women and men, hair transplantation in Istanbul on the eyebrow area is also relevant. This procedure will help to create a shape and completely natural look of the eyebrows without the need for tinting or tattooing in the future.
Hair transplantation on a beard, mustache, or eyebrows is carried out using the FUE or DHI methods. Donor hair can be taken from other parts of the body such as the chest or back. Patients need not worry: the transplanted grafts adapt in texture to the rest of the hairs. That is, the appearance of transplants will eventually become natural for the area in which they are transplanted.
Examples of facial hair transplants in celebrities
Actor George Clooney
He is one of the biggest fans of plastic surgery in Hollywood! Thanks to beard hair transplants, blepharoplasty, and other aesthetic procedures, at 62, he remains a sex symbol of cinema.

Foreign patients are often interested in how much hair transplantation in Turkey with the Sapphire FUE method costs.
What is the peculiarity of the procedure and why can its price be slightly higher than a conventional FUE transplant?
The Sapphire FUE technique involves the doctor using a unique instrument with a thin sapphire blade. This method allows the doctor to make smaller punctures compared to a traditional FUE instrument. Due to this, skin healing is faster. The result is natural due to the fact that you can more densely fill the bald area and set the hairs in the exact direction for growth.
In the best clinics for hair transplantation in Turkey, the price of the Sapphire FUE method is about $1800. To clarify the cost of hair transplantation for the current period, you can contact the Beauty by Experts Medical coordinators.
Why any hair transplant in Turkey will be advantageous for the price?
The high competition among specialized hair transplant clinics in Turkey allows people to choose the most profitable option. In addition to the operation, the package offer may include other services: diagnostics, stay in the ward, a set of medicines, and cosmetics for care. Sometimes clinics offer additional beauty treatments for the face and body with special discounts (as for Beauty by Experts Medical partners).
How can you evaluate the result of plastic surgery?
Photographs of patients tell the best about the work of a specialist. These are BEFORE and AFTER hair transplant photos that can be seen on the pages of doctors’ questionnaires. The most popular transplant doctors in Turkey such as İlker Apaydin and Oya Shishman are specialists with more than 15 years of experience. They carry out hair extensions based on the individual needs of a person and the characteristics of the body, which ensures up to 100% success of transplants.
Patients who left reviews about hair transplants in Turkey most often chose hair transplants in Istanbul. This is due to the fact that the largest number of rating clinics in aesthetics and plastic surgery is concentrated in the capital.
