At first impression, Asli Tarcan Clinic leaves us a bit confused. They provide no transparency whatsoever regarding the details of their services or their prices.
However, throughout the various points on the website, they mention including some standard services regardless of which method you choose:
Any Method You Choose (FUE, DHI, Sapphire)
VIP transfer
5-star hotel accommodation
Some aftercare products, such as medication and shampoo
Translator
In such a competitive landscape, full transparency is a primary distinguishing standard.
That is why the reason for the lack of transparency made us question whether the clinic offers different hair transplant prices to different customers. Let us remind you that most Turkish hair transplant clinics follow a fixed-price (and price per graft) policy for maximum hair grafts.
Pre-Surgery, Consultation and Booking: 4/5
Scalp condition improved with pre-op instructions for the best result.
1-1 online consultation with the doctor is available.
Detailed hair loss and transplant report provided. (+)
English-speaking customer success and sales specialists available.
Detailed information of phases provided.
Unfortunately, Asli Tarcan Clinic provides patients with no information regarding pre-op instructions to improve and prepare their scalp conditions for surgery.
Thankfully, they provide a one-on-one consultation with your surgeon. After the examination, you are given a personalized hair transplant report on your behalf, which could include some pre-surgery guidelines, but we do not know for sure.
The clinic’s website has 3 language options (English, Turkish, German). So, most international patients shouldn’t have any problems during the booking process.
Also, for patients who want to learn more about their surgical process, the clinic provides some information about the phases of its transplant methods.
Facilities, Services, and Accommodation 3/5
Transfers are done with a VIP van.
5- star International Hotels included.
3-night accommodation included.
Operation rooms in hospitals/clinics are top-notch.
The hotel and clinic are in the central location.
From the first moment that you arrive at the airport until you get to your room in the hotel, the clinic covers the entire transfer with a VIP van. For the entire process, the clinic’s customer care specialist provides help.
The clinic also provides a 5-star international hotel for the accommodation of hair transplant patients. However, we could not find any information about which hotel they provide even in the online reviews, so it was impossible to fact-check it. We recommend you learn more about the hotel before reserving your hair transplant.
A 3-night stay with a rest day is never mentioned anywhere on the clinic’s website. The healing process is almost as vital as the surgery process (if not more) for the surgery to be a success. The fact that such an essential part of the hotel service is not present puts a minus in our framework.
We couldn’t find many online photos of operating rooms at Asli Tarcan Clinic. The ones we found were very limited, and it didn’t help that rooms looked more like waiting rooms to house anyone. The hair transplant process requires an immense amount of hygiene. So, during the surgery, only the patient should be present in the room. This is a big minus.
Finally, Asli Tarcan Clinic is located in Zeytinburnu, a center point for various transportation options, making the clinic an easily reachable location.
Physicians and Staff: 2/5
A dermatologist or plastic surgeon is available.
An anesthesiologist for sedation is available.
The surgeon has done over 1000 hair transplants.
3 or more technicians/nurses are part of the operational team.
English-speaking physicians and staff.
The founder and current CEO of the clinic is Dr. Asli Tarcan. However, as the leading doctor and the face of the clinic, we are given absolutely no information regarding her medical background. So, we don’t know if she is a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
Similarly, due to the huge lack of knowledge regarding any experience with any medical staff of the clinic, we don’t know if they have any technicians in the field of dermatology or an anesthesiologist for sedation.
Throughout different patient testimonies and photos, we can see various members of the operational team. So, it is clear that the team is filled with many technicians, but again, we do not know how qualified they are.
At least, however, as the website and online reviews point out, the clinic houses various technicians who are fluent in various languages.

Surgery Methods and Doctor Involvement: 1/5
A doctor performs & supervises all operations.
Bio-enhancements are used for harvested graft preservation.
Only one patient a day accepted / No simultaneous operations.
Needle-free local anesthesia and sedation are available.
Laser-assisted hairline drawing and telogen/miniaturization check.
As the online photos and reviews support it, the clinic is proud to have the leading doctor, Dr. Asli Tarcan, present during every patient’s operation.
There are no bio-enhancements to be used during the surgery. Without using bio-enhancements to feed the scalp with nutrients in such a stressful surgery, it is difficult to say how successful the results will be.
It is difficult to assume they provide full attention to every patient with an “only one patient a day” policy due to a lack of information about this subject, in addition to others.
We believe that accepting only a single patient a day is beneficial in focusing solely on their process and increasing the effectiveness of the surgery.
As mentioned earlier, they also do not mention how the physical pain of the surgery is dealt with in the clinic. So, due to the lack of information about their sedative options, we do not know if they have needle-free options.
As the photos show, technicians draw the hairline with a pen using their hands instead of laser assistance. Finally, telogen/miniaturization checks are entirely absent.
Post-Surgery, Instructions, and Aftercare: 3/5
Regular post-op doctor consultations are provided.
Re-operation guarantee or lifetime warranty available.
Online post-op instructions are easily accessible.
Post-op ATPv spray provided for increased graft survival.
Medications and shampoos are available.
After the surgery, the clinic does your first-day post-op checkup, removes your bandages, and does the first hair wash with a special shampoo. They also provide you with information about critical post-op recovery and healing procedures (or instructions). However, that is it. Regular post-operation consultations are not provided.
Alternatively, the clinic has some after-surgery instructions online on the website for in-depth guidelines.
However, Asli Tarcan Clinic does not provide any post-op products that are crucial for graft survival, which could be a big addition to the guidelines they have on the website. They do mention that medications and shampoo are included in the pricing, though.
The post-op ATPv spray is considered a bio-enhancement, and the clinic does not employ bio-enhanced hair transplant procedures, as we mentioned earlier.
Apparently, the clinic provides each patient with a lifetime warranty, according to online reviews (despite them not mentioning this on their website).
Online Reviews: 3/5
The clinic has over 500+ online reviews.
Negative reviews are positively handled.
Independent review website ratings 4.5+.

Firstly, Asli Tarcan Clinic has a very high number of reviews on multiple rating platforms, with a very high rating.
However, there are also so many negative reviews with very strong claims that are impossible to ignore, which is exactly what they do: Ignore them completely.
Every clinic has bad reviews, and it is normal. What is not normal is to act like they didn’t happen. To have reliability, we expect clinics to accept criticism and answer bad reviews by offering re-dos.
Under such huge red flags, it is difficult to trust the good parts, like the video testimonies on their social media accounts.
Some of the good reviews are as follows:
Some of the bad reviews are as follows:
Before and After Photos: 3/5
Before/After photos available.
Natural-looking results (especially hairline).
Graft survival over %90.
No overharvesting.
The surgery technique is indicated.
Asli Tarcan Clinic has plenty of successful results of before and after photos on the website. They also put reviews on their social media accounts every now and then.
Although various results are present, the surgery techniques are not indicated.
The results mostly look healthy; however, overharvesting in so many cases is very visible, which could put the patients in danger. In fact, there are several online patient reviews complaining about falling victim to overharvesting.
Here are some post-op results that they put on their blog:
Conclusion
Asli Tarcan Clinic Rating
Having VIP transportation from the airport to a 5-star hotel is a big plus. Also, the booking process is very detailed, including a 1- 1 consultation with the leading doctor of the clinic.
The true highlight of this review, though, is that the leading doctor of the clinic is in every single transplant process as the supervisor, which is somewhat provided in phases on the website.
And yet, we cannot say the same detailed information was provided about their medical team, their prices, and even their services.
The lack of so much knowledge about so many vital parts reduces the trust in the clinic. We expect them to be provided in the future before trusting them with a life-changing surgery.
There are many negative reviews about the clinic, which is natural, like it is for any other. The problem that heavily affects the rating is the lack of answers to countless negative comments on the internet, which also damages the reliability.
Ultimately, based on our Price-Service-Result (PSR) framework, our rating for Asli Tarcan Clinic is 2.5/5.0.
