I had been gradually going bald for several years and had been using Toppik to conceal the bald areas especially around the hairline for most of that time. I decided that I was receeding too far back now to continue to use Toppik effectively – so took the plunge and decided to get a hair transplant. I live in Scotland and it was not realistic to get one at home as most clinics in Glasgow quoted me 9000 GBP. I therefore decided to research a number of clinics abroad and spent many months doing so. Going abroad can carry a lot of risks so its always pertinent to choose wisely. In the end Clinicana seemed the perfect choice based on the reviews pictures and cost.

I made most of my contact with the clinic via Whatsapp which suits me as there is no language or accent barrier! The gave me instructions on what to do prior to the operation – things to avoid and things to make sure I did. We agreed the price and from there it was just a waiting game until I arrived. On arrival my driver was waiting for me and I went straight to the hospital for blood tests. I have to be honest when reading other reviews a lot has been said about how modern and clean the hospital is.. I was yet to be convinced as we have pretty high standards in the UK so was prepared to be underwhelmed. However the hospital was great and it was honestly more like a hotel!

I was up early and fed at the hotel and in starting the procedure at 0730. I was back at the hotel by 4pm. It was 7 hours of discomfort.. stiff necks.. dizziness etc. It was physically and mentally draining but it was WORTH IT. And I dont doubt it would have been any different anywhere else. All I would say is dont try and strike up a conversation with the nurses.. they dont speak English and you will quickly be told to stop talking haha! I was quoted 4000 grafts initially but ended up with 5300 and that cost me 1850 GBP which is great value.

I am writing the review now from the clinic and have just had my bandages off so I am in no way able to comment on how good it actually is…. I need to wait another 6 months for that! But what I will say is they do give you a guarantee certificate which states that they will redo any work for free if the grafts fail to take.

Overall I am happy with this clinic… maybe missing some things I would get back home for for a saving of 7 grand and a full head of hair… I cant complain. If you are going to go to Turkey to get this done.. go to Clinicana.
