The clinic that tells you the measurement

Why four specialities

Four things are done here: hair transplant, beard and moustache transplant, dental treatment and botulinum toxin. There is no fifth.

The four are not a random collection. Hair and beard transplants share the same donor area; a centre that does not plan them together spends the patient’s graft budget twice. Dental treatment and botulinum toxin meet in the same facial analysis: the smile line and the movement of the expression muscles cannot be assessed independently of each other.

Working in few areas is a decision, not a shortcoming. Someone is accountable for every procedure, and the sentence “we do that too” is never said.

The measurement argument

Every treatment has a unit, and on this site every procedure is described in its own.

“Natural results”, “expert team” and “state of the art” read the same on every clinic’s website and none of them can be verified. A graft count, a VITA shade and a dose in units can be verified. We chose the second.

• Hair transplant — grafts: donor capacity is measured, and what is taken does not come back
• Beard and moustache transplant — grafts and exit angle: 15–20 degrees on the face, 40–45 on the scalp
• Dental treatment — number of teeth and VITA shade: written before treatment, approved at try-in
• Botulinum toxin — units: every area has its own dose range, narrowed by muscle strength

Three working rules

How this clinic works can be put in three sentences. None of them describes a result; all three describe the road to one.

• The measurement is written down — the name, batch number and quantity of every product used goes into your record; a treatment with no record means guessing from scratch at the next session.
• The limit is said out loud — if what you want cannot be met anatomically, we tell you before treatment and we do not perform it.
• The order is not broken — no aesthetic crown while there is gum disease, no hair transplant while shedding is active. Every step skipped to save time takes the result back.

Travelling from abroad: four steps

What a patient travelling from the UK, Ireland or anywhere else worries about most is not the fee but the uncertainty: what happens on which day, who meets me, and who do I reach if something goes wrong.

The process has four steps and what happens at each is written down in advance.

• 1. Pre-assessment — you send photographs and, if you have them, radiographs and test results. A doctor in the relevant speciality writes back with whether you are suitable and what range of plan would be needed. If you are not suitable, we write that too. Nothing is booked at this stage.
• 2. Plan and timescale — how many nights you need becomes clear from the procedure. The flight is booked after that information, from your treatment schedule rather than a guess.
• 3. In Istanbul — examination and any necessary tests on arrival, the procedure the next day, a check the day after. If the test results are not suitable the procedure is deferred; that is a safety rule, not a failure of organisation.
• 4. Home and follow-up — follow-up continues in writing: photo reviews at months 1, 3, 6 and 12 for hair and beard transplants, planning the second trip for dental work, a day-14 review for botulinum toxin.

How many nights you need

The exact duration depends on the procedure and is given in writing once the plan exists. The typical ranges are:

• Hair transplant — 3 nights: examination and planning on arrival, operation the next day, first wash and check on the third.
• Beard and moustache transplant — 3 nights: the schedule works the same way.
• Dental crowns and smile design — 5–7 days: impressions, try-in and cementation fit into one trip.
• Implants — two separate trips: integration takes 2–3 months and the restoration is completed on the second trip.
• Botulinum toxin — same day: the treatment is short and the day-14 review is done remotely.

What the plan does not include

What a plan covers is written down before you travel. So is what it does not, because that is where most disappointment in medical travel actually comes from.

• Flights and travel insurance — arranged by you. Check that your policy covers planned treatment abroad; many standard travel policies do not.
• Transfers and accommodation — organised by a licensed travel agency and invoiced separately, for the regulatory reason set out below.
• Preliminary treatment found on the X-ray — gum treatment, a root canal, an extraction or bone grafting can each be needed before the planned work and are quoted when they are found.
• Prescription medicines you continue at home — including any medical treatment for hair loss, which needs a prescription managed by a doctor where you live.
• Routine long-term maintenance — hygiene visits, night guard replacement and annual implant checks, all of which can be done wherever you live.
• Treatment by another practice if a complication is dealt with locally — that visit is billed by that practice.

Transfers and accommodation

Airport pick-up, hotel–clinic transfers and accommodation are provided through a licensed travel agency.

That is not a preference but a legal requirement: in health tourism, the sale of travel and accommodation services runs through a licensed travel agency. The clinic plans the medical process; transfers and hotels are organised by the agency and invoiced separately.

Istanbul’s two airports are at opposite ends of the city. Your pick-up time is calculated differently depending on whether you land at Istanbul Airport or Sabiha Gökçen, so tell us the flight number rather than just the day.

Consent in your own language

No procedure is performed until informed consent has been presented in a language you understand. For English-speaking patients that means an English consent form you read and sign before anything begins — not a verbal translation on the day. You are expected to ask about any clause you do not understand; consent is not a signature formality but the written form of the limits of the procedure.

This site is published in seven languages: Turkish, English, German, Russian, Arabic, French and Spanish. Which language is supported on which day for in-clinic conversation is confirmed when the schedule is set; not every language is guaranteed for every day.

Where we stand on regulation

The Turkish Regulation on Promotion and Information Activities in Health Services, dated 12 November 2025, prohibits healthcare providers from giving information on fees, discounts and campaigns, prohibits sharing patient satisfaction for advertising purposes, and places strict conditions on before-and-after images.

The principle will be familiar if you live in the UK or Ireland: in the UK the ASA and the GMC restrict clinics in much the same way, and in Ireland the equivalents are the ASAI and the Medical Council. Prescription-only medicines cannot be advertised to the public in either country.

You will not find a price list, star ratings or patient photographs on this site. Rather than hiding the restriction, we chose to write down the reason for it; the detail is on the Quality and Certificates page.
