Our Experience with Vera Clinic: Step-by-Step

Let’s delve into the intricacies of how the customer experience with a Vera Clinic typically unfolds.

vera clinic contact form

Booking Process

4 / 5

The Vera Clinic Turkey has a booking form to arrange a free consultation. The form requires your contact details, giving a promise for an instant response. You can also contact via their various social media pages. Following contact you will be offered a treatment plan, once selected, the clinic staff will work on your travel arrangements. A Vera Clinic hair transplant includes accommodation, transport within the city to and from the airport and the hospital. What different packages are available, or if a deposit is required, is not made clear on the website or the site’s social media.

There is not much information about the consultations, except this will be prompt. Photographs will be required as there are guidelines on how to take them. It would be preferable to have all this information in one place for ease of access. While there is considerable information about hair transplantation and the procedures, it was disappointing to find no indication of prices or packages.

Pre-Operational Consultations

3 / 5

There is an emphasis on educating the patients in what to expect from the procedure, and the site offers several informative guides on nutrition and smoking but most of these are in the form of blogs, with some in the FAQs. There are succinct explanations on the procedures, including eligibility for particular hair transplant procedures and what to expect but you have to search for it.

The clinic says it will cover your travel arrangements and allows you to reschedule your dates at no extra cost. Most clinics in Turkey include internal travel arrangements on arrival in the country but flight costs are the patient’s responsibility. Vera Clinic’s information on this aspect is unclear. The brief information does not provide a clear breakdown of what the price includes, like hotel options.

Arrival & Accommodation

4 / 5

Upon your arrival at the airport, a driver will collect you. Hopefully, the consultation with Vera Clinic explains where the hospital is situated and advises on which of the two International airports to fly to.

The Vera Clinic hospital is on the Anatolian side of Istanbul, whereas the main office is on the European side. Travelling in Istanbul, the largest city in Europe, can take up considerable time. A flight into Sabiha Gokcen International airport would be the best option for ease of access to the hospital. There are several top-class hotels in Vera Clinic’s vicinity but the site does not indicate the ones included in their travel arrangements.

The three-day stay includes a face-to-face consultation which can be followed by your procedure which takes most of the day. This is dependent on your arrival times and could be all on the first day. The day after your procedure, you are returned to the hospital to have your head washed. This is when you will receive your aftercare package. According to the website, this contains aftercare instructions along with creams, shampoo and pain medication.

Facility

3 / 5

A blog on the Vera Clinic website introduces you to their impressive new hospital designed to meet the needs of their patients. You can find state-of-the-art areas for hair transplantation, dental treatments, cosmetic surgeries, and aesthetic surgery. The hospital government licence indicates the hospital is regulated but as a clinic, not a hospital.

The clinic offers several surgical procedures including dentistry and cosmetic surgery and has an anesthesiologist, but does not offer the full range of care you have access to in a hospital. The risk is low with the small incisions of the hair transplant procedure, if an emergency arose, the clinic would have to transfer you to a local hospital, which carries an extra cost.

Surgery & Doctor Involvement

4 / 5

One of the two qualified doctors on the team at Vera clinic will conduct your initial consultation and oversee your surgery. As Dr Kazim Sipahi’s English is limited, a translator is generally present. It is unclear if Dr Gökhan Vayni speaks another language, but the clinic does offer translation services as part of their package. The information on the rest of the team is scarce as the website repeats the information on Dr Kazim Sipahi.

Aftercare

3 / 5

Vera Clinic provides a post-surgery treatment pack that includes shampoos, anti-microbial solution, a disinfectant solution to be used twice a day for three days. Plus an anti-inflammation serum to be used on the extractions site and a shampoo. At an extra cost you can purchase an additional 2 months of aftercare products. Once again, there is no cost indicated on the site. The clinic offers a 90% hair growth guarantee and follow-up via the internet for three consultations.

We Rate Vera Clinic

3.5/5.0

Vera Clinic has a highly innovative leading surgeon, but the site makes some very expansive claims that are difficult to substantiate. The omission of any costs anywhere on the site makes it difficult to give a value for money review.

While Vera Clinic website offers some in-depth information on hair transplantation and its procedures, it is generalized info, not specific to the clinic. The site has some glaring omissions in terms of cost, medical qualifications and what is involved in travel arrangements, in particular, what the hotel stay includes—full or half board or just B&B. There is also some contradictory information like the number of surgeries performed is quoted as both 30,000 and 23,000.

The surgery turnover is unusually high. Although it’s not that clear if it’s all hair transplants surgeries. The overall feeling of the Vera Clinic website is unfinished and not that informative about their procedures, staff or costs. It is also unclear what the follow-up includes, and how the guarantee is backed up. The site does offer several additional treatments, but these are at an extra cost.

At first I was hesitant in doing my hair , but the experience over all went good . My experience with Beyza , which was point of contact from the company was really good. She was was extremely helpful from start to end. The procedure went well and I’ll give an update in a few months to my review once my hair starts coming in. I’m at three weeks now . My only complain is when I did my hair , they didn’t do my crown area which I was in the impression they will do all of my head. Make sure you’re very clear with them , now I have to go for a second time to get the procedure in 6 months. Also I haven’t heard back from the clinic itself after I sent my pictures a few days ago. I’ll keep my experience updates as we go on but as far as my piont of contact Beyza , she was 10/10. My experience at the clinic with actual clinic staff was 7/10. I’m not sure why didn’t cover my crown area when I had allot of donor area they could have used. Also they have not responded to my post surgery pics.

Trust the process - Vera Clinic knows the best!!!

I couldn’t ask for a better experience than one provided by Vera Clinic. I was guided through entire process by Mohammed who made this life changing journey easy and stress free. From 5 star hotel accommodation, transfer from and to the airport as well as to and from the clinic, everything was running smoothly. The service provided from the clinic was another level. Friendly staff, clean and modern ambiance, skillful doctors who explain every step of the journey made this so positive. I opted out for fast recovery package, 3 days in total service, that comes along with laser treatment and two hyperbaric oxygen chamber sessions, which resulted in me being able to come back to my normal daily routine within 10 days without any signs of procedure being taken so recently. I used only products recommended by the clinic during the entire year. At some point I thought the result is not going to be what I expected, around third or fourth month. But I was encouraged by the clinic to trust the process and be patient. And they were right. The end result, one year after, is something I can’t be but purely 100% satisfied with. Thank you Vera clinic for bringing back my confidence.

My experience was nothing less than amazing. From the very beginning Beyza Can was very professional and answered all my questions in a timely manner. After almost a year or communication i finally make the decision to go through with this procedure. Everyone at the facility was amazing made me feel at home and I couldn’t be happier. This was a life changing experience and I want to say thank you to everyone who helped me through this journey. I will forever be grateful and will recommend to family and friends. Vera Clinic you are awesome and I hope to be back I the future just to say hi.

I was pretty nervous about the procedure at first, especially since I was traveling from another country and didn’t speak their language. I did a ton of research online, watched Youtube videos and it definitely paid off. I am glad I went with Vera Clinic, not just because of the cost, but also because of their package options and overall communication. Mirela, the consultant I was in contact with before the surgery, was fantastic—super communicative and responsive then and still now, three months post-surgery. The actual surgery went smoothly, with a translator in the room to answer any questions. The consultation was a bit intimidating with all the technicians and doctors in the room, but they made me feel comfortable and confident that everything would go smoothly. Their package lived up to par, covering everything from airport pickup to hotel and breakfast. It’s been three months, and I’m already seeing results. I recommend Vera Clinic and would absolutely go back if I need a second session in the future.

Excellent hair transplant experience at Vera Clinic

March 13, 2024

My expectations were surpassed in every way, from the staff being communicative and transparent (not just trying to sell things but rather listening to the patient and presenting long-term strategic options and solutions), to the new modern clinic with amazing facilities, amenities, and highest levels of safety and sanitation. The process was smooth and adapted throughout to meet my needs, and I appreciated their flexibility as they have several patients every day. Also the in-house OxyCure hyperbaric chamber offering is a game changer and an asset that distinguishes Vera with other market competitors. Special thanks to Muhamad Kahir my medical consultant who was incredibly responsive and transparent within and outside of business hours before, during, and after my operative procedures. Him and the detailed explanations and services descriptions on Vera Clinic website and patients’ reviews are the main reasons that led me to choosing the clinic and defeat my original worries of travelling to a new country and culture to perform such a delicate procedure. It was an excellent choice, and I look forward to my final results!

Staff was great, answered all my questions and made me feel very relaxed. They walked me through all the steps of my hair transplant procedure. I’m at 6 months post surgery and the results are amazing so far. Best part for me is they keep checking in on you and ask for picture updates. Very professional and I highly recommend this place.

Communication was great from my medical consultant Adam the entire time, keeping me informed in the weeks leading up to the transplant. The clinic itself is ran very smoothly and the staff are all very friendly and professional. Accomodation was also good and the transportation made the whole trip very convenient.

Vera Clinic Background Information

Team

Vera Clinic Ataşehir and Dr Kazim Sipahi

Within the hair transplant community, Dr Kazim Sipahi is a well-respected hair transplant surgeon. Credited with inventing the Sapphire FUE technique, his latest design is the OxyCure which is also available, for an additional cost, at the clinic. Dr Sipahi holds a Bachelor in Medicine and has been working in the field of hair transplantation since 2005. Unfortunately, we could not find any information on him or Dr Vanyi in the ISHRS database. The figures on the Vera Clinic website are not clear as to whether they are for hair transplants or the other surgeries undertaken.

There is a four-person hair transplant team, including the two doctors, plus one anesthesiologist for the clinic. The site emphasises its teaching and educational input to staff and patients; it just isn’t clear from the site how this occurs. The site language in English contains numerous errors, which is not encouraging. It is not clear how the team works, that is who does what. Do the surgeons do the extraction of grafts, or do they oversee?

Before and After Pictures

Vera Clinic Hair Transplant Before And After Results

You can find Vera Clinic hair transplant reviews on numerous social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube. All of them have followers, but not of an exceptionally high volume. Trust Pilot has the clinic rated at 4.9 from 439 reviews in English and WhatClinic gives a 5* rating on six verified reviews.

Methods and Treatments

Vera Clinic Hair Transplantation Methods And Treatments

The primary method of hair transplantation at Vera Clinic is FUE; both standard Fue Technique and the Sapphire Fue. The Sapphire Fue is distinguished by the use of the sapphire-bladed extraction tool. These techniques are available for eyebrow, facial hair, male and female hair transplantation. Dr Sipahi and Dr Vanyi both have considerable experience in this field, with Dr Vanyi, an eyebrow, beard and scars specialist.

The clinic does offer supplementary treatments at an extra cost. One is another of De Sipahi’s invention the OxyCure, which involves the patient receiving 100% pure oxygen in hyperbaric conditions. A process that is said to improve the survival rate of transplanted grafts and facilitate faster healing, lower infection rates and stronger hair growth.

Costs and Packages

Vera Clinic Hair Transplant Cost and Hair Transplant Packages

Unfortunately, no where on the site can we find the Vera Clinic prices for hair transplantation or for any additional costs that may be incurred. There is no indication that a deposit is required. Some prices are mentioned by WhatClinic reviewers in 2018 & 2019—these were from 1,160€ – 1,700€ but didn’t detail for how many grafts.

No hotels are mentioned by name on the sites, or the patient reviews looked at. The clinic promises 5* but also omits to say with what board arrangements. There is no information on the area of the clinic or advice for the best International airport, possibly this is given on consultation, but more local information would help to make an informed decision on using Vera Clinic for your hair loss treatment.
