Hair Center of Turkey works from two published addresses: the branch office at Selenium Retro in Bakirkoy for planning and coordination, and the medical centre in Halicioglu, Beyoglu for examination, treatment and the first wash. HCT has worked in Istanbul since 2014 and holds International Health Tourism Authorisation number AK-0291.

Hair Center of Turkey Branch Office — Selenium Retro, Atakoy 7-8-9-10. Kisim, D-100 Guney Yanyolu No: 18/A, 34158 Bakirkoy / Istanbul · Hair Center of Turkey Medical Center — Halicioglu, Piri Pasa, Kumbarahane Cd. No: 46, 34445 Beyoglu / Istanbul. Treatments are provided by healthcare institutions that hold a health tourism licence.
No stock photography. These are the rooms at the Halicioglu medical centre — the treatment rooms, the lounge you wait in and the station where your hair is washed on day four.
“Best” is not a claim a clinic can prove with its own marketing. Use these six checkable criteria for HCT and every provider you compare.
Designed and performed by the same person
The certified hair transplant practitioner who designs your hairline is the one who carries out the procedure — not a different pair of hands on the day. Doctors supervise: a dermatology specialist performs the operation checks and a specialist anaesthetist administers and monitors the anaesthesia.
- Same practitioner, design to implantation
- Doctor supervision throughout
Sterilisation protocols between operations
Hygiene and sterilisation procedures are part of the health tourism framework the organisation is authorised under — a framework that inspects, not only registers.
- Sterilisation between operations
- Ministry of Health authorisation on file
A limited number of operations a day
One hair transplant is six to nine hours of concentrated work. The daily schedule is deliberately limited rather than filled.
- Limited daily procedure volume
- Six to nine hours for a single operation
One written price before you travel
The package covers the operation, three nights of accommodation, private transfers, interpreting, the medication set and twelve months of follow-up.
- No per-graft surcharge on the day
- Nothing added at the clinic door
Measured results and public reviews
Graft survival is measured at month twelve on documented cases rather than claimed, and patient reviews sit on independent platforms where we cannot edit them.
- Google, Trustpilot, ProvenExpert, WhatClinic
- Growth reviewed at months 1, 3, 6 and 12
Twelve months of follow-up
The relationship does not end at the airport. Growth is reviewed at months one, three, six and twelve, and a coordinator stays reachable in your language.
- Written aftercare schedule
- WhatsApp support during your stay
Both documents below are published with their certificate numbers so you can check them against the registers.
Under Turkish law an international health tourism authorisation licenses an organisation to arrange and coordinate treatment for patients travelling from abroad. The medical treatment itself is delivered by healthcare institutions that hold a health tourism licence. That is the arrangement here, and it is the reason the same sentence appears at the bottom of every page on this site.

View licence
Four days in Istanbul, of which three involve the clinic. The rest of the time is yours.
Ask about available dates- 01
Day 1 — examination
Blood work, scalp examination and a first hairline sketch, discussed with you rather than handed to you.
- 02
Day 2 — final design
The hairline is drawn and approved by you in a mirror before anything begins. Nothing starts until you say yes.
- 03
Day 2 — the procedure
Six to nine hours under local anaesthesia with sedation, with breaks and lunch. A specialist doctor administers the anaesthesia and monitors you.
- 04
Day 2 — dressing and instructions
The donor area is dressed and the aftercare sheet is explained before the transfer back to your hotel.
- 05
Day 3 — rest day
No clinic visit. Swelling usually peaks on this day and is expected.
- 06
Day 4 — first wash
Performed at the clinic and demonstrated step by step so you can repeat it at home, then transfer to the airport.
Bakirkoy
Selenium Retro, Atakoy 7-8-9-10. Kisim, D-100 Guney Yanyolu No: 18/A, 34158 Bakirkoy / Istanbul. European side, on the southern service road of the D-100. Planning, coordination and patient consultants.
Halicioglu, Beyoglu
Halicioglu, Piri Pasa, Kumbarahane Cd. No: 46, 34445 Beyoglu / Istanbul. On the Golden Horn. This is where examination, the operation and the first wash take place.
You are collected, not directed
Private transfers between the airport, your hotel and whichever address you are expected at are part of the package, and interpreting is included, so you never have to navigate the city yourself.
The second column is the more useful one. A clinic that promises everything is telling you something about itself.
Published on this site
- The street address, not just a city
- Licence numbers you can check against the registers
- Every team member by name, with title and certificates
- One written price before you travel
- A twelve-month follow-up schedule in writing
Things we do not claim
- No guaranteed outcome — results depend on donor density, scalp condition, health and aftercare
- No unlimited graft counts; donor capacity is finite and over-harvesting is permanent
- Coordinators are not clinicians and do not make medical decisions
- No promise that every patient is suitable; some are told to wait or to treat the cause first
If a clinic will not put its refusals in writing, ask what happens to your money when the answer turns out to be no.
Anything missing? Send it on WhatsApp — medical questions are answered by the medical team.
Ask the clinicTwo addresses. The branch office is at Selenium Retro, Atakoy 7-8-9-10. Kisim, D-100 Guney Yanyolu No: 18/A, 34158 Bakirkoy / Istanbul, where planning and coordination happen. The medical centre is at Halicioglu, Piri Pasa, Kumbarahane Cd. No: 46, 34445 Beyoglu / Istanbul, on the Golden Horn, where the examination, the operation and the first wash take place. Private transfers to whichever address you are expected at are part of the package.
Yes. Hair Center of Turkey holds an International Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate from the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health (number AK-0291) and a Group A travel agency operating licence from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism (number 11416). Both documents are published on this page. The treatments themselves are provided by healthcare institutions that hold a health tourism licence.
If you are already in Istanbul, ask on WhatsApp and an appointment can be arranged. Most international patients see the building for the first time on the day of their examination, which is why the photographs on this page are of the actual rooms rather than stock images.
Three of your four days involve the clinic: the examination and hairline sketch on day one, the operation on day two — six to nine hours under local anaesthesia with sedation — and the first wash on day four before your transfer to the airport. Day three is a rest day at your hotel.
Patients travel from more than fifty countries and interpreting is included in the package. A coordinator who speaks your language stays with you from the first message through to the twelfth-month review.
The certified hair transplant practitioner who designs your hairline is the person who carries out the procedure. Doctors supervise it: a dermatology specialist performs the operation checks and a specialist anaesthetist administers the anaesthesia and monitors you throughout. Every profile, with title, experience and certificates, is published on the Our Team page.
No clinic should ask you to accept that claim without comparison. Decide whether HCT is the right fit by checking its published licence, real addresses, named roles, treatment plan, independent reviews, before-and-after cases, written total and follow-up terms against the same evidence from other clinics.
Send three photographs, get a written plan.
Front, top and back of your head are enough. You receive a graft estimate, the technique we would use and the price in writing before you decide anything.
No treatment outcome is guaranteed. Results depend on donor density, scalp condition, general health and aftercare.
