About Hair of Istanbul

Hair of Istanbul Founded in 2013 by Mehmet Fatih Akdemir, Hair of Istanbul has established itself as a prominent hair transplant clinic in the vibrant city of Istanbul, Turkey. From its inception, the clinic has been dedicated to serving a global clientele, attracting patients from Europe, the Middle East, and beyond who are seeking high-quality hair restoration solutions. Located in the accessible Ataköy district, Hair of Istanbul operates from a modern, fully accredited facility that is officially licensed and approved by the Turkish Ministry of Health, ensuring adherence to rigorous standards of safety and care. This official recognition underscores the clinic's commitment to providing a trustworthy and professional environment for all its patients. The clinic's philosophy is centered on a patient-first approach, planning every procedure meticulously to achieve natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing results. While the initial information mentioned a 'Mr. Faith', the clinic is led by its founder, Mehmet Fatih Akdemir, who has guided its growth into an internationally recognized name in the hair transplant industry. Mr. Akdemir is a respected figure in the field, with extensive training and experience that enables him to oversee each procedure with precision and care. The team at Hair of Istanbul is composed of experienced technicians and medical staff who are collectively focused on delivering a seamless and supportive patient journey, from the initial consultation to the final follow-up. Each staff member is trained in the latest techniques and adheres to the highest standards of medical practice, ensuring that every aspect of the treatment is handled with the utmost professionalism and expertise. Hair of Istanbul specializes in the most advanced and sought-after hair restoration techniques, primarily focusing on Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Direct Hair Implantation (DHI). The FUE method involves extracting individual hair follicles from a donor area and implanting them into the balding areas, a minimally invasive technique known for its natural results and quick recovery time. This method allows patients to return to their daily activities relatively quickly, making it a popular choice for many. The DHI technique, on the other hand, is a variation of FUE where a specialized Choi implanter pen is used to implant follicles directly into the scalp. This innovation offers precise control over the angle, depth, and direction of the new hair growth, resulting in a more natural appearance. By offering these state-of-the-art methods, the clinic caters to a wide range of hair loss conditions and patient preferences, ensuring personalized treatment plans tailored to individual needs. The patient experience at Hair of Istanbul is designed to be comprehensive and stress-free, especially for those traveling from abroad. The clinic is well-known for its all-inclusive packages that often cover not just the medical procedure but also accommodation, airport transfers, and local transportation. This holistic approach makes the entire process of traveling to Turkey for a hair transplant convenient and straightforward, allowing patients to focus on their recovery and results. Istanbul has become a leading destination for medical tourism, and Hair of Istanbul plays a significant role in this trend. The clinic's work and the transformative stories of its patients have been recognized in international media, including a photography award of excellence from CPOY (College Photographer of the Year) for a picture story that captured the essence of the patient journey at Hair of Istanbul. This recognition highlights the profound impact the clinic has on the lives of its patients, restoring not just hair but also confidence and self-esteem, ultimately enabling them to embrace a new chapter in their lives with renewed vigor.

FUE • 4200 Grafts • 16mo post-op

Solid clinic, good results

Had my FUE procedure (4200 grafts) at Hair of Istanbul about 16 months ago. The facility was professional and clean. Procedure took about 5-6 hours. Results are good — not perfect, but definitely a massive improvement. The hairline looks natural and density is decent. I might consider a small touch-up session in the future for the crown area, but overall I'm happy. At $1,700, it was a fraction of what I was quoted back home.Communication could have been a bit better during the recovery phase but the results make up for it.

Pros

  • + Painless procedure
  • + Good aftercare

Sapphire FUE • 1800 Grafts • 7mo post-op

Life-changing results

I can't say enough good things about my experience at Hair of Istanbul. From the initial consultation to the final follow-up, everything was top-notch. Dr. Mr. Faith personally handled everything and was incredibly skilled. The procedure itself was close to 9 hours and surprisingly comfortable. I opted for Sapphire FUE with 1800 grafts to address my crown and mid-scalp. The team was incredibly professional and made me feel at ease throughout. Now at 7 months post-op, I'm seeing amazing density and a completely natural-looking hairline. The shedding phase around week 3-4 was nerve-wracking, but they warned me about it. New growth started coming in around month 3-4 and has been filling in steadily since. Would absolutely recommend to anyone considering this.

Pros

  • + Good aftercare
  • + Natural hairline design
  • + Detailed consultation
  • + No visible scarring

Cons

  • Phone support hours limited
  • Post-op kit was basic
