Our Experience with Dr Hakan Clinic: Step-by-Step
Dr Hakan Clinic’s website has a clean design upon landing and offers a user-friendly layout, ensuring optimal accessibility. Although the website clearly outlines the available procedures, the lack of specific information about the surgical team raises initial concerns.
Unlike certain other clinics, Dr Hakan Clinic distinguishes itself by offering clear guidance on how to obtain a personalized quotation. Emphasizing the significance of individual assessments for precise pricing, this approach ensures clients receive a customized package tailored to their specific needs. However, the absence of upfront pricing may leave prospective patients feeling uncertain.
Booking Process
3 / 5
- English website available
- Free hair loss consultation
- Detailed information of procedures
- Team information available
- Clear price list available
Dr Hakan Clinic’s booking process seems straightforward. Prospective patients can initiate the customization of their hair transplant package by providing necessary details and photographs. However, the absence of a predefined price list could be a point of contention for individuals seeking transparent cost information before committing to the procedure.
After reaching out and providing more details about your desired changes in your hair loss experience, a consultant will offer you hair transplant options that are most adapted to your needs.

Pre-Operational Consultations
2.6 / 5
- Clear itinerary before trip
- Possibility to reschedule booking for free
- Pre-operational consultations included
- Nutrition advice and supplements
- Pre-operational kit included
Before the actual procedure at Dr Hakan Clinic, there is an assurance that each patient undergoes thorough pre-operative consultations. These consultations, led by highly experienced doctors, involve a meticulous evaluation of the patient’s hair loss condition, discussions about the desired results, and the formulation of a personalized treatment plan.
Arrival & Accommodation
2.2 / 5
- Not clear if included
- No mention of private driver upon arrival
- No mention of accommodation
- Blood test done upon arrival
Despite the professional approach that the clinic tries to convey, I did not see any clear information on whether accommodation and all details related to any future patients’ stay in Istanbul are, in fact, included. Specification and further informations on these topics are essential to ensure credibility and assess to potential clients’ needs.
Facility
3 / 5
- Comfort, including lunch, entertainment, clothes
- Laser Measured Hairline, Density Measurement- and Donor Area Selection Tool
- Regulated EU Accredited Private Clinic with own room for surgery
- High Level of Sanitation and Guaranteed Operation
- A-license (regulated by the Turkish government)
- Detailed Information on Offered Procedures
The Dr Hakan Clinic website emphasizes a commitment to patient comfort. However, more specific details about the amenities could enhance transparency and alleviate potential patients’ concerns.
Dr Hakan Clinic underscores its dedication to providing high-quality treatments with advanced technologies, however, the website lacks specific details on the actual surgery process. Offering more information can enhance clients’ understanding of the procedures. Another thing I noticed was that there were no images of the clinic’s facility.
Surgery & Doctor Involvement
2.7 / 5
- Nurses Part of Operational Team
- English Speaking Medical Team
- Information on the Composition of the Medical Team
- Reputable Doctor Part of Operational Team
Dr Hakan Clinic offers an overview of the hair transplant procedures they provide, including FUE and DHI. The qualifications of the surgical team, however, are unclear. I suggest providing additional information regarding the composition of the medical team, as well as if they are English speaking. Otherwise, I’d suggest the use of translators’ services for a more comprehensive understanding of the procedures.
Aftercare
3.1 / 5
- Post-operational consultations
- After-care products provided for free
- Hair growth guarantee
- Financing options available
Dr Hakan Clinic acknowledges aftercare as a part of their services, but the specific details of their aftercare package are not clearly outlined based on the information available on their website. Providing transparent communication about post-operative care, including details about aftercare products and consultations, is crucial for ensuring a seamless recovery process.

Dr Hakan Clinic’s website has a clean design and user-friendly layout, but lacks transparency on crucial aspects. The absence of upfront pricing and specific information about the surgical team raises initial concerns. While the booking process is straightforward, the lack of a predefined price list may deter prospective patients seeking transparent cost information.
Although the clinic emphasizes personalized consultations and commitment to patient comfort, the website lacks specific details on accommodation, surgical processes, and facility images. The qualifications of the surgical team are unclear, and additional information, especially regarding English proficiency, is needed.
The aftercare services are acknowledged, but specific details are not outlined, impacting the credibility of their commitment to a seamless recovery process. Overall, addressing these concerns is essential for Dr Hakan Clinic to improve, as there is a lot of relevant information lacking.

Trapianto di capelli
A fine gennaio mi sono sottoposto a un trapianto di capelli presso la clinica Dr.HakanClinic ad Istanbul, e la mia esperienza è stata decisamente positiva.
La clinica ha un team altamente qualificato, che ha reso l’intero processo molto professionale e tranquillo.
Dal primo contatto con l’interprete Aykut l’approccio è stato molto rassicurante, è stato sempre disponile e gentile.
Ho ricevuto tutte le informazioni necessarie sul trapianto, il processo e i risultati attesi, senza mai sentirmi sotto pressione.
La comunicazione con il personale, sia prima che durante il trattamento, è stata eccellente. La clinica utilizza tecnologie all’avanguardia, garantendo un intervento minimamente invasivo e un recupero rapido.
L’operazione non è completamente priva di dolore ma grazie all’anestesia locale si riesce a gestire il fastidio.
Il team di medici ha seguito ogni fase del trattamento con grande attenzione e precisione. Il personale è stato sempre disponibile e molto cortese, facendo in modo che mi sentissi a mio agio. Inoltre, la clinica è molto pulita e ben organizzata.
Il periodo post-operatorio è stato più semplice del previsto, e ho potuto contare su un follow-up costante da parte dello staff, che mi ha dato consigli utili per una corretta cura e un recupero ottimale.
In generale, sono molto soddisfatto dei risultati ottenuti finora e sono fiducioso che miglioreranno ulteriormente nei prossimi mesi. Se stai cercando un centro per un trapianto di capelli, HakanClinic è sicuramente un’opzione di alto livello a Istanbul, con una reputazione che giustifica pienamente le recensioni positive che ho letto prima di decidere.
Consiglio vivamente questa clinica a chiunque desideri un trapianto di capelli professionale, con un ottimo supporto e risultati di qualità.

Trapianto capelli Dr.Hakan Clinic
Esperienza eccellente con Dr. Hakan Clinic!
Consiglio vivamente questa clinica a chiunque stia valutando un trapianto di capelli. Fin dal primo contatto, sono stato seguito con grande professionalità da Mr. Aykut, il referente per gli italiani, che ha organizzato ogni dettaglio del mio soggiorno, inclusi il servizio navetta e l’alloggio in un hotel di alto livello.
La clinica è bellissima, moderna e dotata delle tecnologie più avanzate. L’intervento è stato eseguito con le tecniche più innovative, e il team medico ha lavorato con grande precisione e attenzione, garantendo un risultato dall’aspetto estremamente naturale, proprio come desideravo.
God save Aykut
È stata un’esperienza intensa. A distanza di qualche settimana la soddisfazione per il lavoro fatto cresce sempre di più. Il referente Aykut e il Dottor Hakan sono dotati di una importante intelligenza emotiva oltre che di professionalità notevole.
Sono felice che 6 mesi fa la mia ricerca si è conclusa quando ho scoperto questa clinica. È già evidente che il lavoro sia stato fatto egregiamente.
Ovviamente la consiglio a chiunque speri in un risultato naturale.
magnificent experience!
magnificent experience!
I am Italian,and after a long research I chose this clinic attracted by the results and reviews of other patients.
All expectations were met! Doctor and all the staff are super professional.
During the transplant everything went very well; after the transplant all the staff always supported me and communicated the activities to do (for example how to wash my hair, when to cut it, etc.)
I had the transplant a year ago and the result is perfect!
Great clinic great results
I am a 40 years old Italian man. I have performed a mega session with over 6000 grafts in two days at the Hackan clinic on January 2024. I couldnt have chosen a better clinic.
My case was not an easy one as I was an advanced nordwood 5, almost 6.
After one year I can say I am very satisfied. They have been able to cover the whole area with natural and cautelative hairline in line with my age and with an overall good density. I was worried about my donor given the huge amount of grafts, I also experienced some shock lossbut it recovered perfectly and it doesn’t look that so many grafts have been extracted . Actually it seems I have still have donor capacity for future needs.
All the procedure was painless apart form the anesthesia procedure which was a little painful but ok at the end. The team was great and koray and Dr Hackan were carefully following each phase of the surgery.
The clinic performs max two surgery a day and I went with a friend of mine who also performed a two days mega session . He is satisfied as well and we are suggesting this clinic to other friends.

Ottima esperienza
Ottima esperienza che mi ha soddisfatto sotto tutti i punti di vista.
Staff professionale e competente. Organizzazione precisa del mio soggiorno ad Istanbul, con transfer puntuali per tutti gli spostamenti: aeroporto albergo, albergo clinica e clinica aeroporto l’ultimo giorno. Aykut l’agente che si è preso cura di me non mi ha fatto mancare nulla.
La clinica è eccellente con sale operatorie sterile separate dagli altri ambienti.
Il dottore, Dr. Hakan mi ha accolto ascoltando le mie esigenze e spiegandomi nel dettagli come si sarebbe svolta l’operazione. I colleghi in sala operatorio altrettanto competenti e disponibili ad assecondare ogni mio bisogno.
Le tecniche utilizzate sono le più avanzate, nel mio caso si è utilizzata la DHI. L’intervento è andato benissimo così come il post operatorio. Anche in questo frangente lo staff si è mostrato super disponibile spiegandomi nel dettaglio l’utilizzo dei farmaci e come effettuare il lavaggio.
Consiglio la clinica del Dr. Hakan a chiunque voglia effettuare il trapianto dei capelli, ne vale veramente la pena.

Ken Linton - England - Stem cell and 3500 grafts
I spent a long time researching various places in Istanbul to get a hair transplant. I then contacted about four or five different places in Istanbul via wattsapp.
Each company were very similar apart from the Dr Hakan Clinic. When I had contacted the other comanies they were very direct, wanted pictures of my head almost immediately and responded within 30 minutes to let me know how many grafts I needed, how much money it would cost etc. They then proceeded to ask me immediately when could I come over and get booked in.
First of all I was thinking surely a surgeon hasn’t looked at photos of my head and made a detailed analysis in that time. And why are they so keen for me to book a flight straight away.
Speaking with Koray at the Dr Hakan Clinic I had the complete opposite experience. He was so helful in answering all questions I had to ask over a number of days. He never once asked any questions that were pressuring and only until I was finished asking all questions did we then proceed to send photos of my head.
After about 3 days or so Koray got back to me letting me know Dr Hakans analysis of what my procedure would entail. He let me know how many grafts, what the shape of my new hairline etc would look like. I then went back and forth with him asking alot more questions over the next few days. Again, not once was I ever pressured to book a flight or book the hair transplant. Once I was happy, I asked if I could pencil in a date for both me and my dad as we wanted to get one done on the same day.
Another big factor of me choosing Dr Hakan is that they only do two surgeries a day. Which I always thought you would get better care and actually get your hair transplant done by a medically trained surgeon. Which some of the other companies you see doing 50 to 100 procedures a day you won’t recieve that bespoke care.
Me and my dad travelled from Manchester to Istanbul where we were greeted by a driver that the Dr Hakan Clinic had arranged for us. The driver then took us to our accomodation which was Marriot appartments, in the same building as the surgery.
The apartments were beautiful and had everything you need and highly recommend anyone booking them when given the two accomodation options.
Day 1 – Stem cell treatment for myself. I recieved excellent care from all the staff there. Especially after I feinted getting my bloods done haha! The whole treatment was great and nowhere near as painful as I thought it would be!
Day 2 – We were booked in for our surgery at 7:10am which was the same time as the stemcell treatment the day before. I was keen to learn from my mistakes the previous day and woke up alot earlier to get a good intake of food and water on board. We went to the surgery and met Dr hakan, Koray and the team at 7:10am. We firstly got our bloods taken from the nurse which was all routine and perfectly fine. We then got alot of pictures taken and then afterwards got our heads shaved. From there we sat in with Dr Hakan and Koray to which they designed our new hairlines to a really quality natural look. Once we were happy we then proceeded to the operating theatre. I firstly lay on my stomach where the numbing needles where applied to the back of my head. The numbing needles do hurt a bit but nothing you cant handle!! The extraction took 3 hours and the implanting around 4 to 5 hours! I was comfortable throughout the whole thing. The doctor contructed the hairline and his team followed on with the back filling. Koray and the doctor were constantly popping in and out to see if I was ok. The whole team was brilliant and I felt in great care the whole time.
Day 3 – We went back the next day for bandage removal. Again the care we recieved was second to none and I cant praise the doctor and his team enough from start to finish. We then got given all of our aftercare stuff we needed. They demonstrated everything we needed to do along with giving us tutorial videos.
It was a five star experience throughout the whole thing to which we felt very comfortable all the way! I would recommend Dr Hakan and his team to everyone. I thought about it for a long time and now that I have done it can only think why didn’t I do it earlier with the experience I have had with Dr Hakan! Looking forward to the results!!!
To the reader who is nervous
To the reader who is nervous, that they’d get their hair botched, or that someone else might do the surgery and question if they are really professionals.
Dr Hakan Clinic is the place to go for exactly those type of over thinkers.
I did so much research on many clinics to the point I was questioning whether the google reviews themselves were real. Then I stumbled across a forum for patients who were recording there journey. The place that caught my attention was Dr Hakan Clinic.
my fellow bros, relax. Breathe in and just let Dr Hakan and his team sort it out. You won’t be disappointed.
By the way my hair looks great, 7 months in :).

Methods and Treatments
Dr Hakan Clinic Hair Transplantation Methods And Treatments
Dr Hakan Clinic specializes in Direct Hair Transplants (DHI) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedures.
DHI involves individually extracting hair follicles from the donor area, making it particularly advantageous for individuals in the early stages of hair loss seeking a protective solution through hair transplant surgery.
FUE Hair Transplant represents a minimally invasive approach aimed at achieving natural results. This technique involves densely implanting more hair, incorporating both single hair and multi-grafts. What sets the Sapphire method apart from standard FUE hair transplants is the use of a sapphire blade, proven to cause less tissue damage and facilitate faster healing.
Costs and Packages
Dr Hakan Clinic hair transplant cost and price - What is included in the hair transplant package?
The total cost of the package is contingent upon the specific procedure chosen and the number of grafts to be transplanted. To receive a quotation for a hair transplant Turkey package from Dr Hakan Clinic, prospective clients are required to furnish their details along with four head pictures. Following this, a consultant will craft a personalized package.
Typical inclusions in Dr Hakan Clinic packages consist of:
- Hair Transplant procedure
- Complete Medication Kit
