Asmed Hair Transplant Center Review
Expert review from Tom Davis (updated 2023) + Patient reviews collected bi-weekly from:
With prices between €5,000 and up to €12,500 for a hair transplant, Asmed Hair Transplant Center is one of the best, but most expensive hair transplant clinics in Turkey. Is it worth it or is it better to look at alternatives for your hair transplant in Istanbul?

Asmed Hair Transplant Center Review Summary
This review was originally published in June 2018 and has been updated in August 2023 to ensure its relevance and accuracy. We have also added user reviews and the possibility for you to leave your review directly. If you wish to engage with former patients of Asmed, share your thoughts on the Hair Back App.
Our Experience with Asmed: Step-by-Step
How does the customer experience at Asmed actually unfold? The manner in which the clinic handles its patients holds great significance, particularly in the context of cosmetic procedures. We have encountered several accounts where patients’ expectations were not met in this regard.
Asmed offers three contact options: website forms, Messenger, and local phone numbers in 12 countries. They can be reached in several languages including English, German, French, Spanish, and Korean.
I attempted to contact Asmed through Messenger, but unfortunately, I didn’t have much success. Despite reaching out during Turkish business hours, I received a generic response saying, “Hello, thank you for your interest. Please fill out a form to book a consultation.” I left the chat open for 24 hours to keep an eye on it, but the clinic did not get back to me.
On the other hand, I had better luck when I called them. The person I spoke to over the phone was friendly and fluent in English. However, based on my experience, most individuals taking the initial step towards a hair transplant prefer to have initial written communication and information at hand before booking a first consultation.
The contact form found on the website of Asmed Hair Clinic is highly comprehensive, consisting of inquiries regarding health conditions, allergies, family history of baldness, and the specific type of hair transplant that the client is interested in. Additionally, Asmed requests up to six photos of both dry and wet hair.
While this level of detail is excellent for individuals who are already certain and ready to undergo a hair transplant, my feeling is that it may appear overwhelming for those seeking information or comparing hair transplant prices.
Booking Process
4 / 5
- English website available
- Free hair loss consultation
- Detailed information of procedures
- Team information available
- Clear price list available
The booking process on the Asmed site is clear and details the procedures well. If you’re looking for a free hair transplant consultation at Asmed hair restoration clinic, then Asmed clinic offers a sleek and thorough way to submit your details. The site has an extensive form where you can submit twelve photographs of your head. Once you have done this you are assured that you will receive a preliminary evaluation and an estimate of the approximate costs for free, from Dr. Erdogan, himself.
While it might be time-consuming to take 12 photographs of your head, the consultation appears to be very thorough and you’ll receive an extensive report for free about how to proceed. The site also lacks a clear price list of procedures with details of additional upgrades and costs for different packages. Typically the clinic charges per graft, starting from 2,5€, which makes Asmed one of the most expensive clinics out there.

Pre-Operational Consultations
4 / 5
- Clear itinerary before trip
- Possibility to reschedule booking for free
- Pre-operational consultations included
- Nutrition advice and supplements
- Pre-operational kit included
Once you have booked your procedure, there will be some involvement by the clinic to help you. However, none of this information is clearly detailed on the site. It appears as though patients will need to arrange any required visas needed, themselves.
There aren’t details of preoperational shampoos or serums provided to patients. There is advice about smoking on the site but nutritional advice for patients is given upon booking. However, you’ll be given an itinerary to follow as soon as you land at the airport.
Arrival & Accommodation
5 / 5
- Not included in all packages
- English speaking driver/coordinator available
- 5 star Western standard hotel included
- VIP Transfers included
- 3 nights stay standard (allowing for 1 day of rest)
- Blood test done upon arrival
ASMED Hair Transplant Surgical Centre is located close to the five-star Radisson Blu where patients can take advantage of reduced hotel prices. Additionally, there is the option of staying in a luxury suite at the ASMED surgical centre.
The Asmed offers airport transfers which come at an additional cost between the airport, your chosen hotel, and the clinic. If you book an airport transfer, you can expect excellent service. The clinic will even send a photo of your driver, so you can easily identify your coordinator.
Again, it would have been useful to find a breakdown of costs for the extras offered by the Asmed medical centre. There are plenty of optional extras available that are not listed in an easy-to-view price list for reader
Facility
4 / 5
- Comfort, including lunch, entertainment, clothes and ergonomic chair and bed
- Laser Measured Hairline, Density Measurement- and Donor Area Selection Tool
- Regulated EU Accredited Private Hospital with own room for surgery
- Hospital Level of Sanitation and Guaranteed Operation
- A-license (regulated by the Turkish government)
The Asmed Clinic, Istanbul is an impressive facility. Health and sanitary regulations are excellent and similar to hospitals and clinics in America, the UK, or Europe. The clinic has a special team guaranteeing the sterilization and overall cleanliness throughout and, in particular, the operating rooms.
The Asmed Clinic is a dedicated clinic with several doctors and an anaesthetist. But it’s not a hospital. While it’s unlikely that any emergency would occur because of local anaesthetic and small incisions, in the worst-case scenario, you would be transferred to the nearest hospital.
Surgery & Doctor Involvement
5/ 5
- Not included in all packages
- Nurses Part of Operational Team
- Third Party Doctor Auditing of Operation for Perfect Result
- English Speaking Medical Team
- Needleless anesthetics
- Reputable Doctor Part of Operational Team
At Asmed doctors and nurses will be present during your procedure, you can also expect an anaesthetist to be in the room. In addition to several doctors that will perform the surgery who are likely to speak English, a native speaker is guaranteed to be with you at all times.
Aftercare
3/ 5
- Standard Post Treatment Packages included
- Post-operational consultations
- After-care products provided for free
- 90% hair growth guarantee
- Financing options available
The Asmed clinic provides patients with an aftercare package included in the hair graft price. This includes instructions of what to do and when to expect results along with a pillow, shampoo, lotion, and spray. The post operational consultations are included as well. Asmed doesn’t guarantee any results as they do not consider this ethical, however the results are among the best in the industry.
conclusion expert review
We Rate Asmed Hair Transplant Center
4.2/5.0
In reviewing the Asmed clinic, it’s important to not lose sight of the average cost of a hair graft in Turkey which is just €0.80. This is less than a third of the basic price at the Asmed of €2.50 per graft.
Asmed certainly offers a top-of-the-range option and several people take it. If you are looking for a short luxury stay in Turkey with state-of-the-art facilities, accommodation, and expertise, then Asmed is an excellent choice. But it all comes at over triple the average price in Turkey. You can find better value options around, still with first-class facilities by browsing our other reviews.
People are often happy to pay more when it comes to cosmetic surgery and their hair, but it’s important to note that there are no guarantees with any surgery. Despite the price point of Dr. Erdogan and the Asmed clinic, there are no guarantees offered.

Excellent service. Dr Koray is very caring and really went out of his way to make me comfortable during and post procedure. The patient care coordinator, Cihan, is very professional and continues to provide me with guidance and responds to all my questions in a timely manner. The technology they use is second to none, and the cleanliness of the clinic is akin to a tertiary care hospital. Their nurses are very caring, especially Uzgur, who attended to me at all hours of the night and genuinely cared about my well being. I highly recommend this clinic as in my estimation it is one of the best globally. As they say, you get what you pay for and that is the case here.

Hi, I am Irfan from Pakistan. I had a hair transplant three months ago, and so far, I am very happy and satisfied with the results.
I spent two years researching before taking this step. During this time, I consistently followed Asmed, looking for any negative feedback but found none. I wanted my hair transplant to be done in the most natural way so no one could easily tell I had undergone a procedure. By looking at their work, I knew their expertise was in hairline restoration, which they perform in the most natural way possible. Finally, I reached out to their coordinator, Suzana, and booked my appointment.
Initially, I thought they were expensive, but considering it was for my face and hair, I decided to go for the best. From the moment I entered their facility, I was impressed by their rooms, service, and outstanding staff.
Suzana was my coordinator, and my experience with her was excellent. She answered all my questions and stayed in touch even after the transplant. For the first 10 days, she guided me every day, and even now, she checks in on my progress.
Thank you, ASMED, for this wonderful job

A Five-Star Luxury Experience: Outstanding Hair Transplant Results and Exceptional Service
Rated 5.0 out of 5
July 24, 2024
On March 1, 2021, I underwent a hair transplant at the clinic, with 5000 grafts done in two sessions. From the start, the organization was impeccable, starting with the airport pickup, where every detail was meticulously planned. The entire process was overseen by Ms. Suzanne, who, even now in 2024, continues to follow up with me regularly and is always available to answer any questions.
The service provided was incredible, the best I have ever experienced. Before choosing this clinic, I researched many others, but none matched this level of quality. The clinic’s rooms are like luxury hotel suites, offering maximum comfort. From the moment of arrival to departure, I had a chauffeur at my disposal and, if needed, a translator who spoke my language.
The results have been outstanding, with top-notch procedure quality, cleanliness, and professionalism. The maximum professionalism and competence displayed by the entire staff have deeply impressed me. I can highly recommend this five-star luxury experience to anyone considering a hair transplant at this clinic.

Asmed is a great clinic, if you are considering a hair transplant. I am just giving it 1 star becuase of the patient coordinator Suzanna. If she happens to get in touch with you run away and ask for another coordinator. She is not only arrogant but also not responsive. I am so glad that she was my coordinator which is why i researched further more into some of the best clinics in turkey. Apparently I found Dr. Emrah Cinik and completed my hair transplant from his clinic.

After extensive research to find the right doctor for my hair transplant, I chose Dr. Koray Erdogan at ASMED Surgical Center in Istanbul. My initial point of contact, Suzana, was exceptional throughout the entire process. From our online communication where she requested photos of my hair, to meeting her in person at ASMED weeks later, Suzana’s professionalism and care were evident. She, along with the other specialists, demonstrated a genuine interest in my well-being and the success of the procedure.
Suzana’s support was continuous, as she regularly checked in and addressed any concerns I had during the experience. The procedure itself was remarkably smooth, with over 5000 grafts completed over two days. Now, 10 days post-procedure, I am amazed by the results which have far exceeded my expectations, providing a natural-looking hairline and a complete transformation in previously bald areas. The team at ASMED performed an exceptional, state-of-the-art job.
I am deeply grateful to Dr. Koray Erdogan, surgical assistants Gizem and Naciye, and the entire surgical team for their expertise in planning and executing the procedure from preparation to the final hair implantation. Their enthusiastic celebration of the successful accomplishment at the end was remarkable – “Thank you all for the chocolate-covered protein bar gift! I may not remember all your names but no, I will never forget you!” While I regret not remembering all their names, I cannot emphasize enough how outstanding they all were.
The experience and outcome have been nothing short of amazing, and I wholeheartedly recommend ASMED to anyone considering a hair transplant. I am truly thankful to have chosen them for this transformative procedure. Thank you, Dr. Erdogan, Thank you Suzana, Thank you Gizen, Thank you Naciye, Thank you all-the-forgotten-names-but-forever-remembered-real-professionalism.

“My experience at Asmed in April 2024 has been truly transformative. From the moment I arrived, the team’s warm hospitality and Suzana’s exceptional care put me at ease. Suzana’s support was ongoing, as she regularly checked in and addressed any concerns I had throughout my journey. The procedure was remarkably smooth, with 5000 grafts completed over two days. The results have far exceeded my expectations, providing a natural-looking hairline and significant improvement in areas where my hair was previously thinning. I’m also grateful to Mrs. Dilek and the surgical team for their expertise in planning and managing my incisions. Asmed has truly changed my life, and I can’t recommend them enough. The experience and outcome have been nothing short of amazing, and I’m thankful for the newfound confidence and improved quality of life they’ve given me.”

From the first contact, everything went perfect. I have visited Asmed Hair Transplant in December 2022. My personal patient coordinator was Ms. Demet Fidan, she took care of me from day one and until today she is asking about the result of my transplant. A big thank you to her. A felt all the time really safe and the place was spotless. Dr.Koray itself is a true masterpiece in his area. I don’t regret my decision to do the hair transplant, I am really happy about the result. Again, a big thank you to Dr.Koray and all the Team in Istanbul. Greetings from Munich Thomas A.

Asmed Background Information
Team
Asmed Fue Hair Transplants Are Done By Dr Koray Erdogan
Those booking a hair transplant at Asmed are often interested in having a hair transplant done by Dr. Koray Erdogan himself. Hair Transplants at Asmed are versions of the FUE hair transplant.
Dr. Erdogan is regarded as a pioneer in the field of hair transplantation. Many of the methods and tools used at the clinic have been designed by him, such as the KEEP, Koray Erdogan Embedding Placer, the KE-Bot, and the KE-Rest. But Dr. Erdogan can’t perform all the hair transplants that take place at the Asmed medical centre.
The hair clinic works in a way that is not dissimilar to a designer hairdresser. For an additional fee, you can have Dr. Erdogan make the incisions. An expert team will then complete the process and embed the hairs, once the direction and angle of the hair have been determined by him.
Most people will have a hair transplant that is overseen by Dr Erdogan and performed by other highly trained doctors.
Before and After Pictures
Asmed Hair Transplant Before And After Results
Below you can find some of the before and after pictures provided by Asmed Hair Transplant Center. During our review update in June 2023, we observed that Asmed had made changes to their results pages, allowing users to sort them based on the Norwood scale from 2 to 6. This feature stands out as we have not encountered it at any other clinics, providing a comprehensive overview of their results.
Getting a Hair Transplant in Istanbul Was Never Easier
Methods and Treatments
Asmed Hair Transplantation Methods And Treatments
While Asmed used to perform FUT hair transplantations, the method used by the clinic as of June 2023 is FUE. The FUE is a method where hair follicles are harvested individually. Innovations that you’ll find at the Asmed clinic can improve the effectiveness of this treatment.
If you require a larger number of grafts, then a mega session can be arranged involving more surgeons to harvest and embed the follicles. A maximum number of grafts per session is still 3,000, so the surgery can be conducted over consecutive days for some patients.
Costs and Packages
Asmed hair transplant cost and price - What is included in the hair transplant package?
There are several packages that you can have at the Asmed. But, there is not a detailed price list on the site to see how much extras are included in each hair transplant Turkey Package.
Costs are detailed as 2.5 euros per graft which include:
- Consultation
- Blood analysis and electrocardiogram
- Pain management plan for your procedure
- Post-surgical care kit including, pillow, ice pack, Hairixin shampoo and lotion, and a bottle of liposomal ATP spray
- Native speaker
There are options to upgrade to the Radisson Blu with reduced rates at this five-star hotel. Or you can take a luxury suite at the Asmed clinic, if it’s available. An airport transfer is also an extra to be added to the price.
