The handling of the trip and accommodations was great, so was much of the staff. My husband (the patient) did have trouble explaining to the nurses during the procedure he was feeling short of breath and wanted to take a minute to rest; the nurses did not understand English. Once I complained to the manager the staff were very quick in changing to English speaking nurses, so be sure to request this if you can't speak Turkish. We had the manager's contact and was able to reach him through out the night which was very important and helpful on the night after the procedure because my husband was in a bit of pain. The doctor who oversaw the transplant was constantly asking my husband how he was feeling and gave him several breaks during the procedure. This clinic also does the head wash 1 1/2 day after the surgery; this is important because other clinics we've reached out to washed the head on the same day. As you can image, that would be VERY painful, and also can cause minor damage to the transplant area.

We highly recommend this clinic! The hospital has a good reputation and our hotel was the adjutant to it. The doctor and most of the staff were very friendly and helpful in answering all our questions and concerns.

I did my research and I read a lot of reviews over several months, and also spoken to several clinics in Turkey. One of these clinics was Clinicana. When I got in touch with Clinicana and spoke to Mulham Attar (GM).

In comparison to most clinics, I felt at most comfortable and ease whilst speaking to Mulham. I was reassured with every question I raised about the procedure. This was important to me as I am confined in a wheelchair and that I need not worry, and everything would be taken care of .

After pondering over and deciding the pros and cons, I finally decide to go for it and have the FUE Transplant and arranged to have the treatment.

On Sunday 21st February 2016 flew out with a close friend of mine to Istanbul. As per plan, we were met by a driver holding up a name plate with my name on it. We were then driven from the Ataturk international Airport to The Marti Hotel.

The next day we had breakfast at the hotel, and then headed for the clinic to have some bloods done and tested. Being in a wheelchair I thought that, I would find the journey to the Acaibadem Hospital a problem. I was surprised it only took me 10 minutes to get to, even though being in a wheelchair.

I was told to take the lifts outside to the left of the hotel, as you step out of the hotel. These lifts are for use to get to the lower floors of the car park. Once in the lift you press P4 level (-4). As you walk out the lift, you go into the car park and take a right. Carry on walking straight for about 15 metres and you then come to a ramp going down to the next level (at this point you will see the exit/ entrance control barriers of the car park), make your way towards this to exit the car. Take a left down the ramp and then a left again, you will see directly opposite the Acaibadem Hospital.

I reported to the reception, and was taken up the lift to the 5th Floor to Clinicana. The hospital has been recently built, very clinically clean and modern.

I was taken to the waiting room where there were several other clients visiting to have the HT, and was met by Mulham (GM who I spoke to via Watsapp message/ call). I was introduced to Eyad & Rawad, and the rest of the team. He arranged for bloods. The next day Tuesday 22nd Feb, I was told to be at the clinic early at 7am, and was provided with breakfast. I was then consulted and given the all clear from the blood test. I was met by a consultant who wanted to asses my donor area and to talk about what was possible as per treatment as my donor area was weak. I knew my donor area was weak and settled to have a new more defined hairline, to the forehead and stopping at the crown area, where I had no treatment.

The operation started around 10am, with first applying several injection of anaesthetic to the donor area (I think it must have taken about 5 minutes, slight discomfort but not too bad). After which followed the abstraction of the follicles (This procedure is done, whilst lying flat on your belly, on a kind of dental chair/ become operation bed) from the donor area, which took about 1hr 20mins in my case. I then turned around on the dental chair/ become operation bed, onto my back. There was a little pause whilst they arranged the grafted follicles etc. After which Rawad Attar drew out the area to take the donor hair. Once this was done, I was given a mirror to see and to give my approval before the next stage of the procedure.

I was happy, so the next stage of the operation was to anaesthetise (more injections “LOL”) the area to take the donor of the grafted follicles (in my case, from in between the new hairline and towards the crown area, but not the crown area). The donor area then had the extraction and unplugging of shafts to receive the grafts. This was done by a very fine needles. Whilst this was being done another assistant started the next procedure to set the new hair grafts (the ones which were taken out earlier from the donor area) into the unplugged shaft area. Once all the unplugging had been completed by the specialist, she too joined with placing the grafts in its locations. The donor area was also kept moist throughout this stage of the transplant. By about 2pm (Approx. total time of 4hrs, the operation was complete, I had approx. 2000 grafts in total). Finally my head was wrapped up in a bandage, looked like a babies nappy!!!... “LOL”

I then went to the waiting room, and was given instructions in managing my hair, and medication/ shampoo & Skin and lotion cream. I was given a certificate and guarantee. I finally paid my bill.

The whole procedure was very pleasant and went well, and I felt very comfortable throughout the operation, and had no dizzy spells or discomfort.
I went back after 2 days to have the bandage removed and head wash. Then they withdrew some blood too prepare , once done, the platelet rich plasma was injected into several locations around the new implanted area.
I went to the waiting room, and an assistant put a headband around my head, took some photos with Mulham, Eyad and some of the team members and said my goodbyes.

Next day I was picked up from the Marti Hotel, by their driver and taken to Airport for my flight home. Overall very satisfied and recommended to all.
To get a feeling of the total experience and what to expect, from the full service from Clinicana, I recommend that you watch the short video on Clinicana Web Page.
I hope my review of Clinicana, helps others looking for FUE Hair Transplant.

I have done the hair transplant on the front line and sides and also a little on the beard. The procedure has been much better than I thought, the only painful part was the anesthesia, so I can say it was 10 minutes of hell and 6h of heaven. The doctor and the nurses very helpful and professional. All of them very nice.

The clinic is in a very modern hospital. Everything is very clean and tidy. My first impression was very possitive, I would definitely recommend this clinic and the procedure to anyone. It is absolutely worhty both in price and results.

In general, the treatment was perfect. The manager, the doctor and the nurses that assisted me they did what they do best. The explanations and the treatment itself was given by the best. It was everything that I would expect from an excellent clinic. Thank you for your professionalism.

This clinic has everything to receive a 5 star rating, through the staff, facilities and the host itself. An excellent choice to make the hair implant in Istanbul. After searching extensively for a clinic that would give me the best care, among many, was convinced by the choice i made.

Excellent care and treatment. I would recommend Clinicana to anyone considering this kind of procedure. I have always wanted to have a hair transplant. I did one in the past other clinic but was not successful. Now I do it in Clinicana and everything went excellent . They provide me excellent service very professional throughout. Thanks Clınıcana.

The doctors and nurses were all very professional and helpful. They did a great job I have had several of these procedures with different clinics over the years and this was the best. I await the results but I am sure they will be great.

I came here because my friends recommended Clinicana to me and I did the hair transplant. I had 5000 grafts and the process was very easy, just a little pain with the anesthesia. Doctors and nurses are very kind and helpful, even I had Spanish translation so that made everything more relaxing for me. It has been a new experience for me and I am glad I did it.

The clinic is very modern and it surprised me when I first entered. Everything is very clean and tidy so it gives you a very good impression from the beginning. Everyone is very helpful so you feel very comfortable.

Very good attention, very professional, would strongly recommend, I come from Spain, the idea to come here was the right one. I received attention in English with a Spanish translator, they took a lot of care of everything, I felt safe and comfortable,

The clinic is ultra modern, quite a luxury, quality standards are very high, we had a Spanish translator just in case we had any doubt, the atmosphere is very relaxing for a treatment which is dealt very carefully.

I was a bit unsure and apprehensive before I made my decision to have my hair treatment done, as I'm sure you will all be feeling. It's the best decision I think Iv made. 6 months after my treatment and I'm absolutely delighted with the results, and can't wait for next 6 months. Very little pain, with so much gain. Op took around 10 hrs, as I had around 5000 graphs. A little pain when I was injected with anesthetic, but none other than that. Their was some swelling for about 5-7 days after. But once that goes down, it starts to look better day by day. The initial hair falls out, then the new hair regrows. Then all you do is use the right shampoo and watch your grow thicker and stronger day by day. Best result after 12 months.

The clinics attitude and professionalism was exemplary. Very helpful from start to finish, did everything they promised to do and more. Very clean and upto date hospital, really nice 4 star hotel which is nex door to the clinic. I was told I was getting 4000 graphs and I ended up getting 5000 graphs at no extra costs. The nurses and doc were very caring and helpful. Really impressed with the whole treatment and am glad I chose this clinic. Definitely recommend this clinic as Iv got no complaints.

I had an advanced boldness (Norwood VI) and a almost a full hair restoration needed to be done. So I contact Clinicana.
After several communications with email, Skype and even WhatsApp groups the doctors reviewed my case and donor area and they proposed a two operations to cover the area of loos.
Went to Turkey and after face to face review and blood tests, finally went for the operation. The operation went perfect (just some pain during the anestisia, but after it was even pleasant) The doctors and nurses where really informative answering every question I had and keeping me informed about the different phases of the treatment.
As well, the medication was clear and I was able to follow the prescript treatment easily.
Overall all the team is very professional and kind.

The clinic is really modern and top of class regarding the installations. As well the hotel Marti is located close to the clinic (5 minutes-walk) and the services there are very good, since being a 5 stars hotel.
