Sanamentum Review Summary
This review was originally published in January 2024. If you have any feedback about Sanamentum or want to talk to former patients of Sanamentum, post it in the Hair Back App.
Our Experience with Sanamentum: Step-by-Step
Sanamentum’s website is quite user-friendly, although not particularly impressive from a design perspective. Navigating the site is easy, thanks to its easy to use layout, ensuring an optimal accessibility. While the website clearly states what procedures are offered by Sanamentum, the absence of specific details about the surgical team raises initial concerns.
Sanamentum invites any potential clients to provide their information in order to obtain a personalized quote, underlining the importance of individual assessments for accurate pricing. This approach ensures that clients get a tailored package based on their individual needs. However, and despite general comparative pricing table present on the website, it must be noted that the information contained in it refers to general hair transplant prices in Turkey vs abroad. As such, the lack of clear pricing may leave potential patients in a state of uncertainty.
The clinic offers a contact form on their website where people can provide their name, email, and phone number for them to reach out. Additionally, they can be reached via WhatsApp chat and Instagram.
Booking Process
3.8 / 5
- English website available
- Free hair loss consultation
- Detailed information of procedures
- Team information available
- Clear price list available
Sanamentum’s booking process seems simple and straightforward. By providing necessary details and photos, prospective patients start the customization of their hair transplant package. However, the absence of a predefined price list might very well be a point of contention for individuals seeking transparent cost information before committing to the procedure.

Pre-Operational Consultations
3.7 / 5
- Clear itinerary before trip
- Possibility to reschedule booking for free
- Pre-operational consultations included
- Advice and supplements
- Pre-operational kit included
Before the actual procedure, Sanamentum guarantees that each patient undergoes comprehensive pre-operative consultations. These consultations are lead by highly experienced doctors who evaluate the patient’s hair loss condition, discuss the desired results, and create a personalized treatment plan for them.
Arrival & Accommodation
3.6 / 5
- Flights included (in some packages)
- English speaking driver/coordinator available
- 4 star Western standard hotel included
- VIP Transfers included
- 3 nights stay standard (allowing for 1 day of rest)
- Blood test done upon arrival
- Meals included
One of Sanamentum’s strong points lies in its packages, especially those that include flight tickets. Clients are assured of a comfortable stay in a 4-star hotel, with VIP transfers for a smooth experience. The inclusion of these amenities reflects the clinic’s commitment to providing a luxurious and stress-free environment for its patients.
However, the website doesn’t specify whether meals are included in these packages, which could be an important factor for clients planning their budget.
Facility
3 / 5
- 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)
- Detailed Information on Offered Procedures
Sanamentum demonstrates their commitment to patient comfort. However, I believe that there could be more details concerning the amenities, as there are no pictures of the clinic’s interior on their official website. Transparency regarding the comfort and facilities provided can play a crucial role in easing potential patients’ concerns.
According to the website, the hair transplant procedure usually lasts from 6 to 8 hours, a timeframe largely dependant on the number of grafts being transplanted.
Surgery & Doctor Involvement
3.6 / 5
- Nurses Part of Operational Team
- Leading Doctor Auditing of Operation for Perfect Result
- English Speaking Medical Team
- Needleless anesthetics
- Reputable Doctor Part of Operational Team
Sanamentum provides an in-depth overview of the hair transplant procedures they offer, among which FUE and DHI. There is also detailed information about the leading surgeon’s qualifications and a user-friendly presentation of the specialist on their website.
Aftercare
3.5 / 5
- Standard Post Treatment Packages included
- Post-operational consultations
- After-care products provided for free
- 99% hair growth success rate
- Financing options available
Sanamentum guarantees the provision of aftercare services as part of their packages, with mentions of shampoos and additional medications, however there is not much information on the specific components of their aftercare package. Clear communication about post-operative care, including the provision of aftercare products, and which products, as well as consultations, is essential for ensuring a smooth recovery process.
conclusion expert review
We Rate Sanamentum
3.5 / 5.0
Upon investigating Sanamentum’s TrustPilot and Google reviews, a slightly concerning pattern emerges. While most reviews are positive and 4 or 5-stars, there are alarming 1-star testimonials. Several clients reported misleading practices where they claim they were not informed on any additional/hidden costs related to their procedures, which lead them to paying much more than what they were initially told.
Sanamentum faces some serious criticism for its lack of transparency in regards to the total costs of their packages, which has lead to numerous former patients to feel mislead.
While Sanamentum demonstrates potential, the existing challenges in transparency and misleading practices must be addressed to ensure a positive and safe experience for all clients. Prospective patients are strongly urged to approach Sanamentum with skepticism, conduct comprehensive research, and consider the testimonials seriously before making any hasty decisions.
Engaging in open communication with Sanamentum and seeking detailed assurances regarding all aspects of the procedure and aftercare is of the essence in order to mitigate potential risks and ensure good results.

Awful experience
Rated 1.0 out of 5
July 30, 2024
Iv just got back and it was an awful experience, I had gastric surgery everything was rushed, bloods, scan, ecg, the coordinator was a nice guy but I was a single women traveling and I was asked to sign all this paperwork written in Turkish, I asked what I was signing but was not told much but it was obviously to cover sanamentum in case anything bad happened I was told only English pounds (cash) the care coordinator kept mentioning handing the money over on a few occasions while i was having my observations done, so i gave him the money just before i went down to surgery, he said he needed money do buy my prescription for after the surgery which was over thousand lira he went and got this
he said he would see me after the surgery or tomorrow has he had another client to meet, i never saw him again, I never received any receipts.
i really wasn’t comfy carrying all this money which i told emra before i left the uk but he said i would be fine and if i pay by card i would get charges.
The communication is terrible the only people that spoke English were the DR and the care coordinator the nurses kept giving me there phones to translate in the end I got so fed up I never bothered asking any questions.
I felt so isolated and alone it was awful.
when I was discharged from the clinic waiting to be taken back to my hotel I was discharged at 12 noon I kept texting emra who eventually got back to me but still never explained who was picking me up, eventually a young guy about 20 turned up at 2.30pm then we had to wait another 30 minutes for the taxi he dropped me off at the hotel said bye and left.
The communication is awful.
I wouldn’t ever go back to turkey and I would never use sanamentum for surgery they are money grabbers they make you feel all important but soon has you hand your money over they cut you off completely.
The only plus was the DR was nice and he explained things clearly and my op went well.

Gastric Sleeve in Instanbul with Mr Gul
Rated 5.0 out of 5
July 25, 2024
– I came here on a journey and what a journey it has been from arriving at the airport and being picked up and taken to my hotel which was The Livington. Hotel staff very friendly. Hotel is beautiful (in my opinion 5 star) . I knew what time I was being picked up as my
coordinator Emre was very good at keeping me informed from the very first day of booking my surgery. I was picked up on time by a lovely guy who spoke amazing English and stayed with me while I had all my pre op tests then he took me to my room and there I signed all my paperwork
and had a visit from my Surgeon Mr Gül who had a chat with me before I went down. The man is amazing he is
courteous empathic sympathetic and very professional with the most beautiful smile.
He makes you feel at ease straight away.
For anyone who has watched him on YouTube his video doesn’t do him justice.
You really need to meet this man in person. Once he left I was put into my theatre clothes and wheeled down. I can remember a mask being put over my face and then I remember being wakened from the anesthetic it was that easy. At the start of your journey when having all your pre checks done you are also accompanied by another lovely guy who records your journey through all of your tests and when you are discharged from hospital. The staff at the hospital are as amazing as everyone else. They are in and out of the room constantly making sure that everything is ok and that you are all good for painkillers and fluids, the hospital is spotlessly clean at all times as well. When we were being discharged ( me and a friend that I met here on Monday who started the same journey at the same time) we were picked up by another coordinator who spoke perfect English and made our return journey back to the hotel a lot of fun by cranking up the music in the mini bus and having party vibes. He was another amazing person who helped us with our prescriptions on the way. His name was Ismail and bless him he even carried my bags to the room for me, nothing was too much trouble for any of them. When I started my journey I was recommended Sanamentum by a friend who had been here for the surgery. Well I owe her a debt of gratitude because I wanted to go for the surgery but didn’t know where and with who. Now that I have been I would like to give to others what Joanne gave to me. I would trust these people with my life and I am not joking when I say that. From the hotel staff to the cleaners in the hospital and all the staff that are medical these people know what they are doing and with all the pre op testing they do if for one minute they didn’t think you were fit for surgery then you would be told straight that you won’t be going to theatre. I would have no worries about coming back here again ( even if it’s only to see my favorite Surgeon

From the moment arriving to the moment leaving I honestly had the best experience. I cannot fault anything about it from the hotel to the hospital. The nurses were amazing always checking in and making sure I had everything I needed keeping me topped up on pain relief and fluids. Dr gull what can I say the guy is amazing couldn’t have had a better surgeon round 2x a day checking on me making sure I was ok his English was amazing . Going on my own was a scary thought but I was put at ease straight away with the amazing care I received. Emre my co ordinator was amazing as well always a message away if i needed anything . Would highly recommend sanamentum and dr gull.

My experience with Sanamentum was great. Very well organised and went smoothly from start to finish. Airport transfers were on time, my host Ismail spoke perfect English and made surgery day easy! The pre-op tests were very thorough, my surgeon Dr Gull spoke perfect English and was very kind. During my hospital stay the nurses were very attentive to my needs and did everything Dr Gull asked of them. Dr Gull visited me daily to check on my progress and I felt like I was in good hands. The hospital was comparable to those in the UK although much smaller and not as busy. I can’t fault Sanamentum and would recommend Dr Gull for weight loss surgery.

I had a hair transplant in late June and while it’s clearly too early to assess results (it usually takes six months) the experience was very good.
Dr Firat Siksik explained to me the number of grafts he would make and what it would look like, and the hospital itself was immaculate. The doctor did a lot of the work himself including the design, the follicle extraction and the holes for the grafts. Two technicians managed the follicle insertion. The entire process took around 6 hours and it was so simple I fell asleep several times. Both technicians did every they could to make sure I was comfortable, checking on me regularly.
Pre surgery liaison was very good, and my travel consultant handled all the transfer and hotel booking. The hotel was excellent by the way. Special mention to the excellent and very supportive translator İsmail who picked me up on the morning and collected me again the following day for the first wash.
I had absolutely none of the expected after effects: no pain, no swelling and no itchiness. The scabs fell off easily by themselves and I think this is a sign of a very good and clean procedure. I am now being contacted regularly by Erdem the after care specialist who is monitoring progress.
It is now 17-18 days after my procedure and so far so good.
If you’re thinking of having a HT, i thoroughly recommend Sanamentum. Best thing I’ve done for years. A very very positive experience and I’m looking forward to seeing the full results in a few months.

Methods and Treatments
Sanamentum Hair Transplantation Methods And Treatments
The clinic specializes in FUT, Direct Hair Transplants (DHI) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedures, utilizing the advanced Sapphire FUE Transplant method.
In DHI (Direct Hair Implantation), a specialized tool, known as the Choi pen or implanter pen, is employed. This technique 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
Sanamentum 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 Sanamentum, prospective clients are required to furnish their details along with four head pictures.
