Our Experience with Lenus Clinic: Step-by-Step
After having noticed some excellent Lenus hair transplant reviews, we decided the time had come to take a closer look at this clinic. While customer reviews are always a great benefit, there are other factors to be taken into consideration when rating hair transplant clinics. Here I (Sarah) will take an all-inclusive look at Lenus Clinic.
As always, I started by heading to their website. I found that the information provided was comprehensive without going into unnecessary detail. Lenus also proudly displays its rating scores from Google Maps, Trustpilot and Proven Expert, all scoring a 4.9 when we checked in October 2023.
My assessment involved a close examination of the booking process. Regrettably, the website did not provide any information regarding costs or the availability of various service packages. Upon clicking the “Consultation” button, a concise five-step questionnaire prompted users to specify their gender and the location of their hair thinning. Subsequently, we received a response via WhatsApp within an hour.
While I opted out of a video call, the assistance provided remained amicable and informative. I was promptly furnished with comprehensive information about the consultation procedure, service packages, associated costs, and the intricate details of the surgical operation.

Once you have accepted the quotation, and depending on your flight schedule and preferred package, your full itinerary is issued. The entire hair transplant journey takes 4 days. If you wish to reschedule your surgery, it must be discussed with your consultant timeously, as additional costs could be incurred.

On the first day, you are free to rest or explore the city. You can arrange to have your partner join you on your journey. If you arrive earlier in the day, you can arrange a visit to one of Istanbul’s acclaimed landmarks, which your coordinator can help you arrange.

Lenus Hair Transplant Clinic is situated in The Academic Hospital, which brings peace of mind should a situation arise. The hospital is Joint Commission International (JCI) certified and the Lenus Hair Transplant Clinic in Istanbul has an A-Certificate, issued by the Turkish Government.

- Not included in all packages

- Third Party Doctor Auditing of Operation for Perfect Result
- English Speaking Medical Team
- Needleless anesthetics
- Reputable Doctor Part of Operational Team
At Lenus Hair Transplant Clinic in Turkey, patients can expect a team of 6 members that look after them. The team consists of coordinators, doctors, and other medical staff, such as nurses. Although the majority of the staff speak English, your translator will stay with you for the entirety of the procedure.
The hair transplant will take between 6 – 8 hours. It takes place in a fully equipped hospital room, under local anaesthesia. Your scalp is numbed by a device using air pressure while the anaesthesia is administered for minimum pain.
Aftercare
3.9 / 5
- Standard Post Treatment Packages included
- Post-operational consultations
- After-care products provided for free
- 90% hair growth guarantee
- Financing options available
Aftercare is a vital part of a hair transplant and should be made up of regular consultations, post-op medications and care products, as a minimum. The package you have chosen will determine the amount of products that you receive. The Standard Package includes medical shampoo and foam for a month. The Diamond Package gives clinics a 6-month supply of medical shampoo, foam, lotion, and multivitamins.
Lenus Clinic recommends using its products for a year and will sell what is not included in the price while you are there. It would be wise to ask about this before you leave, as the cost can be more than you budgeted for. You will be given a medical neck pillow for sleeping and any medication needed. As the anaesthesia starts to wear off, it is not uncommon to have some pain, so you will receive pain medication. Both packages also include a PRP treatment, and a blood plasma treatment to aid speedy healing.
The day after the hair transplant, clients will be transported back to Lenus for a post-op check. A professional will also wash your hair and explain how to do it properly.
conclusion expert review
We Rate Lenus Clinic
3.75 /5.0
It was hard to find a lot of fault with the Lenus hair transplant hospital in Turkey. They tick a lot of the boxes necessary and score high on customer satisfaction. The score is a first-rate 4/5.
The decision to get a hair transplant is not one to be taken lightly. It is a deeply personal journey that is often marred by negative stigma, thanks to the legacy of long-outdated hair plugs. Thanks to clinics like Lenus, where customer satisfaction and personal attention are paramount, hair transplants are now more widely acceptable.
Many people who are exploring the option of having the procedure would like to conduct research on the Internet, without speaking to a clinic until they have made a decision. It is for this reason that we like to see comprehensive included on clinic sites with regard to what the patient could expect, both during the operation and afterwards, as well as an indication of costs. This is one area that Lenus could improve on. That being said, once you do contact them, most of these questions are answered immediately.
Another area that improvement is hair care products. Ensuring that you use shampoos and lotions designed for hair transplant patients is important, as is how you treat your hair leading up to the transplant. Including products for pre-op and extending their supply from 6 months to 12 months on the Diamond Package would score Lenus higher. As would it selling these products from the website.

They were very helpful, thorough and gave quality care and treatment! I highly recommend them. They have given me very attentive and caring service throughout! The aftercare is also thorough and of a very high standard! It was completely painless during the procedure and the medical team kept me updated with what they were doing through every stage. They filled my receeding hairline completely and with precision and attention to detail. The result looks fantastic and I can’t wait to see the result after it grows back in the coming 12 months!

I had the best hair transplant experience with absolutely no problems. The customer service was exceptional—always professional, courteous, and delivered with a smile. The team guided me through every step of the process, patiently answering all my questions, no matter how many times I asked.
A special mention of respect and gratitude goes to Mehmet, Begam, and the rest of the amazing team whose names I don’t know. You all made me feel completely at home, and I never once felt like I was in a different country.
You set the standard for how things should be done, and because of your outstanding service, I’ll always remember Turkey fondly.
Thank you for making this journey such a positive experience.

Lenus Clinic Background Information
Team
Lenus Clinic Hair Transplants Are Done by Dr. A. Yildirim
We couldn’t find too much information about who established the clinic and when it came about, although it appears to be a fairly new clinic. Lenus is located in the Academic Hospital, which is situated on the Asian side of Istanbul.
A team of 6 is allocated to every patient. These teams are made up of doctors, nurses and support services. Dr. MD A. Yildirim is part of the team conducting hair transplants.
Before and After Pictures
Lenus Clinic Before And After Results
There are a lot of before and after pictures on the website for hair transplants, as well as beard and eyebrow transplants. You can see more on its Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and X (formally known as Twitter). Lenus has posted lots of patient journey clips as well, which allows an individual peek into the work they do.
Methods and Treatments
Lenus Clinic Hair Transplantation Methods And Treatments
Lenus uses DHI and Sapphire FUE methods. First, let’s talk about Sapphire FUE. The term Sapphire refers to the type of blade used during the procedure. This blade is made from sapphire crystals, which are known for their precision and sharpness. The FUE technique involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area and implanting them into the recipient area. The use of the Sapphire blade in FUE can result in more precise incisions, leading to minimal scarring and faster healing.
On the other hand, we have DHI, which stands for Direct Hair Implantation. This technique involves using a special tool called a Choi pen to directly implant the hair follicles into the recipient area. The major advantage of DHI is that it eliminates the need for creating incisions beforehand, as the implantation is done simultaneously. This results in reduced trauma to the scalp and potentially faster recovery time.
