UnitedCare Hair Transplant Clinic in Istanbul (Turkey) Reviews, Best Costs in 2025

I would like to share my positive experience choosing UnitedCare Hair Transplant Clinic. From the first contact, I got great attention and support, my trip dates were discussed, adjusted, hotel was reserved and I was just waitning for GO :) I was picked up from Airport by driver (I was suprized that car was Maybach bus, only missing Champagne there :) ), we have arrived to the hotel and it was beautiful. I was enjoying my evening walking around Bosphorus Bay woterfront promenade with nice restaurants around. Next day I came to the clinic and was greeted by employees of the company, beautiful ladies. Later, I met Dr. Orkan and Utkan. We spent over an hour discussing and drawing the hairline until we reached a compromise :) Then the magic of the transplant began. The operation itself was successful and high-quality. During the process, I even asked to reduce the number of grafts because the doctors suggested the maximum number for the standard package.The next day, we met, discussed the results, performed hygiene procedures, and a driver was already waiting for me in a beautiful Maybach. Already at the airport, a young man approached me and asked where I had gotten such a natural hairline :) Later, throughout the year, many people asked me where I had the surgery done and asked me to share my contacts, which I gladly did. And yes, throughout the year, the doctors learned about my condition and hair growth process, gave recommendations, and we exchanged questions. A year and a half later, I can confidently say that I achieved excellent results and have fond memories of the UCH clinic and its staff.

From start to finish everything was outstanding. Results are magnificent! There are many clinics I researched and this was the clear winner. Best techniques available with doctor present. Hardly any other clinic provides this. And now, 1.5 years later results couldn't be better.

After months of careful research to find a truly reliable clinic, I discovered UC Clinic and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. In Turkey, where many places feel like “hair mills,” UC Clinic stands out as a rare gem. From pre-op to post-op, their team supports you every step of the way. What impressed me most is how they make you feel like family rather than just another client. Everyone I interacted with was warm, professional, and genuinely caring. The level of service has exceeded my expectations, and I’m grateful for the experience. I’ll update this review in a few months to share my HT results:D

A Life-Changing Experience with Dr. Utkan — Exceeded Every Expectation After countless hours researching and interviewing hair transplant clinics, I was beginning to lose hope. The clinics I encountered employed a revolving-door model — leveraging their doctors across multiple teams of technicians in a single day, and rushing through patients like parts on an assembly line. Some even refused to take my case, citing my age (62) and Norwood 4–5 classification as too advanced or “not ideal.” The deeper I dug into the world of hair restoration — particularly the well-known hair mills of Türkiye — the more wary I became. Stories of overharvesting, excessive scarring, unsanitary conditions, extreme swelling, and impersonal service were common complaints. I wanted something different: skill, safety, and a team I could trust. Enter Dr. Utkan and his extraordinary team. Being referred to Dr. Utkan was a profound relief — like finally breathing after weeks of holding my breath. From the moment I made contact, it was clear this clinic operated in a league of its own. The entire office is devoted to one patient per day — a model that ensures undivided attention, meticulous care, and a level of craftsmanship that simply does not exist in larger, high-volume clinics. Dr. Utkan and his team are tender, compassionate, and incredibly precise. Before a single incision was made, he and his lead technician spent nearly an hour designing my hairline — carefully analyzing an asymmetry in my facial structure and incorporating a beautifully natural-looking correction, including restoration of my temples. This level of artistry and personal involvement was far beyond my expectations. I cannot imagine a larger clinic would go to such lengths. Dr. Utkan personally performed all 4,250 incisions — ensuring every follicle was placed to grow in the natural direction, replicating the original crown whorl and native flow of my hair. This is critical work, and not something to be delegated. His deep involvement throughout the day gave me complete peace of mind. They were also the only clinic I found that offered the latest in stem-cell treatment, as an option. The clinic itself was pristine, with impeccable hygiene and a team that works like a family — calm, confident, and completely focused. Despite the high level of care, pricing was comparable to the larger clinics I had considered, yet the value I received was on an entirely different level. Post-op care has also been excellent. Their patient portal is simple to use, and their communication has been proactive and reassuring. I experienced no swelling, infection nor scarring. I was grateful for minimal itching, and fast healing. Just two weeks post-op, scabbing was nearly gone. The harvest area soon looked completely normal — no visible thinning, no patchiness. My procedure was performed on May 12, 2025, and now, just two months later, the results are progressing exactly as expected. I see healthy signs of growth and feel confident that the best is yet to come. If you’re looking for a clinic that puts skill, integrity, and patient care above all else, look no further. Dr. Utkan and his team deliver a truly boutique experience with world-class results. Book with 100% confidence. Your hair — and peace of mind — will be in the best hands imaginable.

I went for a hair transplant in February (it's now May) and the clinic lived up to all my expectations. Dr. Utkan was very professional, friendly and took the time to explain to me every single step of the process that I would be going through. During the consultation, I raised any concerns I had with Dr. Utkan and he was very detailed in his responses to me and even explained the logic and reasoning behind certain actions and steps that he would be taking during my procedure. He took one whole hour just to plan my hairline and double-checked everything with me before proceeding. Zeynep my translator was very friendly and took the time and effort to explain and translate every interaction that I had with any of the medical staff who didn't speak English. This made me feel very comfortable and allowed me to have an increased sense of confidence with the team. On top of all that, communication with the clinic continues until today as I have frequent messages with the clinic; they check up on me and request photos of my hair growth so that they can keep tabs on my progress. Any issues I've ever had are very quickly resolved via simple texts which is great. The one thing I really appreciated was the fact that after everything was over and they were giving me my medication; they did NOT upsell me on extra medication or any topical creams or shampoos. In fact, they even told me that if I were to finish or run out of the medication, that it would be cheaper for me to purchase extra medication over the counter in a pharmacy versus coming back to the clinic. This type of behavior really shows that all they want for you is to have great results and they're not just there to make money off of you. As men undergoing such treatment, we are vulnerable and hence we are susceptible to any kind of pressure to purchase in order to make sure that the results we get are solid; the clinic doesn't exploit this by upselling or pushing things like oxygen treatment, infra-light treatment or anything like that. In fact, they tell me that whilst all those treatments have some benefits, as long as I'm on Finesteride, it is more than sufficient to ensure success. But of course, the biggest value that I found going to this clinic was that I was treated by a certified dermato-surgeon. The amount of confidence that I had undergoing this procedure knowing that a surgeon is running it is peace of mind you can't get anywhere else. Dr Utkan was there for the whole 12 hours, performed the most important aspects of my procedure (opening the channels and plotting hairline) and I could see him working very hard to make sure the procedure was done well. He supervised all aspects of the procedure too. They even took the time to print out my reference photos to make sure that my hairline matched it exactly. Plus all my grafts were bathed in a bioenhanced solution to increase the survival rate of the grafts; something that not a lot of clinics practice. I also opted in for the stem cell treatment as it was recommended by Dr Utkan; I also did my own personal research on stem cell treatment for hair transplant patients and found the results to be quite compelling. I cannot recommend this clinic enough they are professional, friendly, transparent and highly communicative. If you're considering getting a hair transplant in Turkiye, do yourself a favor and go to them. 16 MONTH UPDATE: It's been 16 months in and I cannot be happier with my results! Dr Utkan has literally changed how I look for the better and it's been everything I've wanted from the beginning! Lots of people come up to me and ask about the procedure after seeing my results and I always recommend having a chat with United Care Clinic. My hairline has settled in nicely, my hair there is thick and strong. The 1 hour it took for Dr Utkan to plan my hairline was well worth it. I'm following Dr Utkan's advice of taking finesteride for 6 months on and off to minimize any side effects so that's been working well too!

I had an amazing experience with UnitedCare. My hair transplant surgery was on February 26, 2024 and today is May 28, 2024. I was very impressed with the friendly staff who answered all of my questions and we're very knowledgeable and communicative!! They have helped me through every step of the way leading up to the procedure even until today. Thank you so much for a really great and professional attitude and for helping this be an enjoyable journey. I am looking forward to more results as my hair fills in even more. I have added a photo of my hair day of surgery before and after my haircut and the one from today. I have kept my hair cut short so you can see how much thicker it has gotten and this is just the beginning of it thickening up. I see more hair everyday. Thank you UnitedCare!!!!! I highly recommend you to everyone wanting to thicken up the hair on top of their head!😆 Update: New pictures. It has now been one year and I am thrilled with the results. Thank you again!!

I visited the clinic for hair transplantation from a different city in Turkey. The entire process was painless and comfortable. I can say that it is easier than dental treatment. I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Kızıltaç, who managed the operation and participated in most of it.

I visited from Toronto, Canada to the clinic and recently had a hair transplant. It has been two weeks since the procedure and everything has went smoothly. The entire team were super friendly, caring and very helpful throughout the entire process from providing the information, scheduling, ensuring I was comfortable on the surgery day and checking on my status post surgery which was appreciated. Thanks again and I look forward to my next visit!
