3 / 5
- English website available
- Free hair loss consultation
- Detailed information of procedures
- Team information available
- Clear price list available
Registered in the UK, the Clinic Center Turkey, is where you can opt for a physical consultation in London, as an alternative to an online one. The website is in English and provides information on the different treatments available through them. At the the Clinic Center – hair transplant clinic Turkey, they also provide cosmetic surgery, dental surgery and IVF. What is not clear on the website is the cost of these treatments. There is one offer of £1390 for an all-inclusive package. for hair transplantation. But, this does not indicate what the offer includes in the way of treatment.
Their website has clear information about the procedures available from them. The hair transplant procedure being mainly FUE or DHI. There is also informative pre & post instructions. The Clinic Centre offers finance options to assist with the hair transplant treatment costs—although until you contact them, that cost is not completely clear. There is a list of doctors and trichologists (hair and scalp specialists) on the website with a brief CV of their training and experience.
Pre-Operational Consultations
3 / 5
- Clear itinerary before trip
- Possibility to reschedule booking for free
- Pre-operational consultations included
- Pre-operational kit included
- Nutrition advice and supplements
Contact is encouraged through the online form which asks you to upload images of your hair loss problem. Following this, Clinic Center will contact you with treatment plan options and costings. The ability to have a hands-on consultation at an office in London is a boon for this clinic. Virtual consultations are also available.
The Clinic Center website also introduces you to the Norwood scale that determines the extent of your hair loss. Unfortunately, the female equivalent scales, the Ludwig and Savin Scale are not explained. In addition, some nutritional advice alongside instruction re exercise, smoking and drinking caffeine is available. The site also indicates how important taking into account your medical history is for the outcomes for hair transplantation.
Arrival & Accommodation
3 / 5
- English speaking driver/coordinator available
- 5 star Western standard hotel included
- VIP Transfers included
- 3-night stay in 5-star hotel
- Blood test done upon arrival
A VIP transfer service is included in the package with an English speaking driver. The Clinic Center coordinator, or host, will be present at the arrival airport to greet you
Clinic Center does not provide information on the accommodation provided, other than it is 4-stars, nor where they can be found in relation to the hospital. Our reviewer thought that clearer indication of the hotel options and what board is included would be useful. If not full-board, this will have to be taken into account when budgeting for the trip.
Because the clinic operates by using different facilities it seems likely that they also use several partner hotels, so that you will be close to the clinic you are having your procedure at. However, it would have been good to see which possible hotels you might be staying at, detailed on the website.
Facility
5 / 5
- Comfort, including lunch, entertainment, clothes and ergonomic chair and bed
- Laser Measured Hairline, Density Measurement- and Donor Area Selection Tool
- Clinic only for hair transplants
- Hospital Endorsed and Guaranteed Operation
- A-license (regulated by the Turkish government)
Clinic Center promises all and the above and more. The reviews appear to indicate that they fulfil them, but our reviewers felt that the site should provide more information on the facilities where the hair transplants take place. The clinic website does make it clear that there are several options for where you will have your treatment.
While this is acceptable as long as you get the best treatment for your needs, informing patients that Clinic Center does not operate solely from one base would be the way forward. However, they do offer a Clinic Center guarantee, in the unfortunate event of malpractice. Whichever, the facility it will be a hospital with an A-license.
Surgery & Doctor Involvement
5 / 5
- 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
If your surgeon is Dr Cagatay Vural, then it’s good to know he has specialised in hair transplants since 2004, treating over 3,000 patients. The doctor is well-known for his ‘hands-on’ approach, doing the transplants himself. When and where the two experienced trichologist members of Clinic Center staff are involved is not clear. It is a big plus that Center Clinic has trained nurses, placed at your hotel, who provide you with an aftercare service following your procedure.
Aftercare
4 / 5
- Standard Post Treatment Packages included
- Minimum 3 post-operational consultations
- Min. 2 months of after-care products provided
- 90% hair growth guarantee
- Financing options available
Aftercare is an essential aspect of the Clinic Center packages. The website contains an explanation of what to expect immediately following the procedure, which includes the day-after wash of the area and aftercare instructions. An interesting note is that Clinic Center provide nurses at the hotels. This is a huge reassurance to patients that they are not alone in a different country following a long and tiring medical procedure. It’s a very proactive action from the company, as often it is only interpreters, who are not medically trained, to answer health queries. You get both with Clinic Center – a big thumbs up. On the site you will also get to know what to expect over the coming weeks and months. Follow-up is part of the package, and reviews do confirm this happens. Patients also have an option for either online follow-ups or a visit to the London office for aftercare. The website does aftercare products are provided but not what they are or for how long the supply is for. You can apply for finance for your treatment via the website, with the assurance that it will not affect your credit score if refused.

conclusion
We Rate Clinic Center Turkey
3.8/5.0
The Clinic Center carries consistent good reviews from previous patients, the website is informative without being overwhelming. Overall our reviewer found information easy to access, although costs not being broken down on the site is a bit dissappointing. However, what is a great plus for this high scoring clinic is the fact you can opt for a consultation in London before making a decision to go ahead.
It does appear that the Clinic Center is not one clinic or hospital. Treatment plans are arranged with the appropriate doctor and treatment site once your hair loss problem has been accessed. The procedures are performed at regulated venues. The clinic scores well in our review due to excellent facilities, doctor involvement and after care. With near perfect scores in these critical sections, Clinic Center has an excellent overall score. While it’s not possible to get an accurate price from the site without consultation, on the plus side, finance is available, making thic clinic accessible and affordable for most.
It’s a shame that the Clinic Center only provides a 4-star hotel and doesn’t give details of which hotels you might be staying at. However, we haven’t seen another clinic that provides nurse service at the hotel, so if we could have awarded extra points here we would. Overall, we believe this is a safe and high quality clinic to have a hair transplant at.

Team
Clinic Center Turkey Hair Transplants Are Done By Dr. Cagatay Vural
Dr Cagatay Vural conducts all the procedures himself. Having worked in this specialism since 2004, you can be confident he has extensive experience in the hair transplant technique on offer from Clinic Center. However, according to WhatClinic, the doctor is based in Kusadasi. What needs better clarification from the company is that different doctors and staff do perform the procedures. This includes the trichologists names on the site—all of whom have an extensive background in hair transplantation.
The site states that ‘All of the treatments are performed at internationally accredited hospitals’. That is great news, but which hospitals are selected? It appears that the Clinic Center’s treatment plan, given following your consult, will be sourced from different avenues. As they offer group discounts, and hair transplants take 6 – 8 hour to perform, it is not possible for a group to receive individual attention by one doctor, in one centre, in the 3 days you stay. Our reviewer felt that the Clinic Center could be more transparent in telling patients that they may undergo treatment at different centres.

Methods and Treatments
Clinic Center Turkey Transplantation Methods & Treatments
Clinic Center offers several medical treatments that include, dentistry, cosmetic surgery, non-surgical cosmetic treatments that include options like botox to a Vampire facial. IVF is also available, alongside hair transplantation. The hair transplants are open to men and women. The procedures for head, eyebrow and beard transplants include FUE, Follicular Unit Extraction, and DHI, Direct Hair Implant.
The FUE hair transplant procedure leaves no cut or stitches on the extraction. Neither is there scarring, and surgical pain is minimal. FUE is the most popular treatment for hair transplants; you can also opt for Sapphire FUE where the difference is in the blades that create the tiny incisions for transplant. The other procedure available to Clinic Center patients is the DHI method. DHI differs from FUE at the transplantation stage—where the hair grafts are transplanted directly without the need for the tiny incisions that are necessary for the FUE procedure. A Choi pen is the tool used in DHI for the graft transplant. An FUE procedure is often slightly cheaper than a DHI.
Costs and Packages
Clinic Center Turkey Cost of Hair Transplants, Available Packages And Extras
This appears very straightforward, as the main hair transplant page offers a procedure for £1390. Unfortunately, it does not clarify which procedure. There needs to be a better breakdown so people can work out their budget. The Clinic Center Turkey does have a further breakdown on costs, on the WhatClinic site. Here it states costs from £1.000 – £1,580, but it is not clear how up-to-date these prices are.
- Transplant procedure with FUE
- Accommodation in 4-stars hotel
- VIP transfers
- International host/interpreter available 24/7
- Nurse at your hotel
A good standard of hotel is provided for patients, at 4-stars in Istanbul you can expect a high level of standard and quality amenities. Our reviewer would have like to see more information on the hotels but understands these facilities can change due to circumstances. What isn’t known is the level of board included with the package, which in turn effects the budget for the treatment. A big plus, is that Clinic Center nurses are based at the hotel to help patients following treatment.
