Our Experience with Lycian Clinic: Step-by-Step

How does the customer experience at Lycan Clinic in Turkey unfold?

I (Sarah) decided to put the clinic to the test. Attempting to contact Lycian through the WhatsApp chat button, I received a message stating that the number doesn’t exist. It seems the clinic may have mistakenly provided an incorrect number.

I then reached out via email, but after 2 days without a response, I gave up. As a result, my review is solely based on the accounts of previous patients and the limited information available on the website.

Lycian Clinic Contact

Booking Process

2 / 5

The website is in English and there is detailed information on procedures. According to the website, hair loss consultations are free, and the duration of the operation is six to eight hours. Anesthesia is local and recovery time is seven to eight months. There are also before and after photos that show pictures of women, which is the first time I’ve seen before and after pictures of women on a Turkish hair transplant clinic website. 

The hair transplant techniques Lycian Clinic Turkey offers are SAPPHIRE, FUE, and DHI. 

There is information on the operation process, before operation, during operation, and after operation, as well as frequently answered questions. There is no information on the team or a clear price list, however.

Pre-Operational Consultations

1 / 5

According to the website, your doctor will calculate the number of follicles needed to achieve the best results. Tests will be performed and detailed questions will be asked to determine whether you are suitable for hair transplant surgery and to identify the donor area where the grafts will be harvested. We would have liked more detailed information from the clinic regarding this.

Before the intervention, your doctor will give you detailed information about some steps to consideration. All recommendations should be taken into account. 

Arrival & Accommodation

1 / 5

There is no information other than the fact that the average length of stay in a hotel is three days. Many Turkish hair transplant clinics detail the hotel they will be staying at as it is an incentive for prospective patients, however, to gather more information, those interested in Lycian Clinic hair transplant will need to contact the clinic. 

Facility

2 / 5

There is no information about the facility. However, at the very bottom of the website there are images of Lycian Clinic Turkey’s affiliated institutions and certificates. However it seems that the clinic has a A license, this is also confirmed by previous patients.

Surgery & Doctor Involvement

3 / 5

Unfortunately there is no information about the team and there is no reputable doctor who is part of the operational team. Previous oatients confirm the team speaks English and that nurses are present. They also offer needleess anesthetics.

Aftercare

2 / 5

The Lycian Clinic website only gives general information such as, after hair transplantation, there is a long process before you can see the results completely. The final results will appear 12 months after the intervention. The patient needs to heed recommendations in order to get the targeted result and avoid complications during the healing process. If the patient follows the instructions and the doctor’s advice, the chances of achieving the desired result will be much higher. We had to turn to previous patients to gain information, and find out that standard treatment packages are included as well as the consultations in Turkey after the hair transplant.

I had porcelain crowns placed at Lycian Clinic, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. I was initially hesitant to travel for dental work, but after extensive research, I chose Lycian Clinic for their outstanding reputation. From the first consultation, I knew I was in good hands. The team was professional, patient, and very knowledgeable, taking the time to discuss all of my options and ensuring I was comfortable with the plan we decided on. The crowns themselves are of the highest quality, perfectly matching my natural teeth in both color and shape. The care and precision that went into the procedure were evident in the final result. I’m thrilled with my new crowns and grateful for the top-notch service I received at Lycian Clinic.

Teeth bleaching at Lycian Clinic was an amazing experience from start to finish. I had been self-conscious about the color of my teeth for a long time, and this treatment has given me the confidence to smile freely again. The clinic was spotless and very modern, with the latest equipment, which made me feel reassured that I was getting the best possible care. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, explaining each step of the process and making sure I was comfortable throughout. The results are outstanding – my teeth are several shades whiter, and the difference is truly noticeable. I’m so happy with the outcome and would definitely recommend Lycian Clinic to anyone looking to brighten their smile.

Lycian Clinic Background Information

Team

Who is the Dr at Lycian Clinic?

Lycian Clinic lacks transparency, and it could benefit greatly from offering more comprehensive details about their hair transplant team. Although the majority of the reviews are positive, many seem to focus on plastic surgery rather than hair transplants. Our research for this review also revealed several dissatisfied patients who criticized the clinic’s rapid treatment pace and likened it to a “mill” operation. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide precise  information on the Lycian Clinic team. Hopefully the clinic will be more transparent in the future.

Methods and Treatments

Lycian Clinic Turkey Hair Transplantation Methods And Treatments

The website lists the three hair transplant techniques and offers the following information:  SAPPHIRE FUE is the same as the original FUE technique except for the blade used in the hair transplantation process. In this method, instead of a razor blade or steel, a sapphire blade is used to create channels in the scalp during hair transplantation. 

The follicles collected from the donor area are transplanted to the areas of need where channels are the most important part of the hair transplantation process because it affects the density, angle, and direction of the hair. 

In FUE hair transplantation, the surgeon removes healthy and more durable hair follicles from the scalp. FUE is usually performed with the help of channels opened with a specially produced punch. The follicles collected from the donor area are placed one by one into the channels opened in the areas where the hair is lost or thinning. An experienced and well-trained surgeon can transplant 4,500 to 6,000 follicles in this time interval. Both areas are then covered with bandages or gauze to prevent any infection. 

Depending on the patients’ hair quality, the size of the hair loss areas, and the desired follicle density, more than one session may be necessary to achieve the planned results. 

The most important difference between FUE hair transplant and a  DHI hair transplant is the tools used in the operation. Needles called Choi pens are used instead of punches. Choi pens come in different sizes. The width of the pens, the thickest of which is 1 mm in diameter, is decided by the hair transplant surgeon according to the patient’s needs. 

The CHOI pen penetrates the skin, collects the follicles, and leaves the skin with minimal discomfort to the operation area and its surroundings. Therefore, it provides a more precise removal process. 

Using the Choi pen eliminates the risk of scalp pitting, a side effect that can occur with the FUE technique. Since the DHI method is the least invasive of the hair transplantation methods developed so far, there is no scarring after the operation. 

Costs and Packages

Lycian Clinic cost and price list

There is no information on hair transplant cost or on packages. More reputable Turkish hair transplant clinics such as Tecnifue International provide this information, so that the fact that it is missing does not allow prospective patients to consider Lycian Clinic hair transplant.
