If you’re researching hair transplants in Turkey, you’ve probably come across Clinicana Hair Transplant & Esthetic Surgeries and asked yourself: Is Clinicana legit? Is it safe? Are there complaints I should worry about, or worse — is Clinicana a scam?
I asked the same questions before booking my own procedure in Istanbul. After delaying my transplant for years due to uncertainty, I finally chose Clinicana — and now, after going through the full journey myself, I can confidently share what makes this clinic stand out.
Yes. Clinicana is fully licensed and regulated by the Turkish Ministry of Health. This means they must meet strict national standards for patient safety, hygiene, and medical practice. Unlike unregulated “backstreet” clinics, Clinicana operates under official oversight in a legitimate hospital environment.
When I researched clinics, this was one of my biggest trust factors — I didn’t want to gamble on my health, and licensing reassured me that Clinicana wasn’t cutting corners.
Clinicana is based inside Acıbadem Taksim Hospital in Istanbul, one of the most modern private hospitals in Turkey. This isn’t a rented office or a tourist flat — it’s a state-of-the-art medical facility where everything from equipment sterilisation to emergency care is handled at hospital standards.
Walking into the hospital on my surgery day, I immediately felt I’d made the right decision. The professionalism and clinical environment set the tone for a safe experience.

Fue una buena experiencia, nos guiaron durante todo el proceso. Muy recomendado Federico De LucaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Haja and Valentina were super helpful throughout the process. In the package you have all included without hidden costs. Hotel is with high standards and it is placed 200 meters from the clinic. They have an internal restaurant, but the food is a bit pricy for the quality they offer. The doctors are very professional and they all speak English, so easy to communicate. Thank you. ☺️ Juan CabreraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience at Clinicana.

Yes. Clinicana holds ISO 9001 certification, which is an international quality management standard. This shows they follow structured procedures for patient care, safety, and outcomes.
As a patient, I didn’t just hear this claim — I saw it in practice: clear checklists, documented aftercare instructions, and a process that never felt rushed or improvised.
Clinicana has completed 10,000+ successful hair transplant procedures over more than a decade. Their medical team, led by Dr. Soner Tatlıdede (Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon), is experienced in both FUE and DHI techniques.
From my first consultation, the experience of the staff was obvious — my hairline design was carefully mapped, and I had a great consultation before surgery.
Clinicana has earned over 5,000 verified 5-star reviews across platforms like Google and TrustPilot. Patients highlight natural results, professionalism, and smooth logistics (hotel, transfers, aftercare).
My own Clinicana review matches this — I was given private transfers, a clean 4-star hotel near the clinic, and a dedicated patient coordinator who spoke fluent English. I never felt lost or pressured.
Every clinic with thousands of patients will receive the occasional complaint, often about waiting times or minor communication issues. But crucially, I found no evidence of Clinicana being a scam or engaging in unsafe practices. When I was researching the clinic I found a few bad reviews but they were from a long time ago (5 years or more) and seems as though the clinic improved significiantly since then as now new bad reviews are appearing online.
In my journey, there were no hidden fees, no upselling, and no unpleasant surprises. Everything was transparent: my package (€2,850) included surgery, hotel, transfers, aftercare kit, and support.
Yes — Clinicana caters primarily to international patients. Their team speaks fluent English, arranges accommodation and transfers, and provides 24/7 WhatsApp support.
During my recovery, I had instant access to my coordinator and was scheduled for follow-ups at Day 1, Month 1, Month 3, and Month 6. This aftercare made me feel supported even after flying home.
Before: noticeable recession, I’m bascially bald at the front.
