Pre-Surgery, Consultation and Booking: 4/5

The clinic’s website has a page explicitly for pre-op instructions focusing on improving the scalp condition before the surgery called “patient guide.” On this page, patients can easily find FAQs, what to do weeks or months before surgery, which activities they should avoid, which medications they should and should not use, and many more.

A 1-1 consultation with the doctor is necessary to improve the hair restoration treatment further. Some of the written instructions are far better effective and fall easily behind the line of effectiveness without a meeting with the doctor. Unfortunately, such a service is unavailable at Hermest Clinic, and patients must wait until they get to Istanbul.

The clinic’s website is written in three different languages, and the overall design is relatively smooth, but this design feels hollow in some places. Some of the most vital pieces of information, such as the background information of the clinic’s surgeons, are looked over. 

Patients have multiple ways of reaching the clinic; this is great as it makes communication much more viable. You can either contact them through Whatsapp or fill out one of the two different consultation forms they have. One of the forms is an empty letter sample that patients can fill in to give any information they can freely give through email. The other one is sort of a hair calculator. With the questions its asks, the calculator approximately determines your required amount of grafts and asks for photos to give more info.

Regardless of your chosen option, after submitting a free online doctor consultation form, the clinic gets back to you by asking for head images in every direction. Then representatives provide a detailed report on your hair loss & hair transplant. This report contains the estimated graft count, recipient zone identification, and the quote.

The clinic provides in-depth details of hair transplant stages for each surgery method on its website. Patients can learn what to expect in each step of any method without waiting for the clinic to respond.

Physicians and Staff: 3/5

Aside from the leading doctor of the clinic, Dr. Ahmet Murat, the clinic also has a dermatologist on its team, Dr. Mehmet Goker, who specializes in skin conditions and hair loss and deeply understands Androgenic Alopecia. Additionally, renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Ali Cemal Yilmaz contributes to the team’s success.

Sadly, the clinic’s website does nothing but give the names of its head doctors and leaves any additional background research up to the researchers.

For patients fearing the experience of pain, Hermest Hair Transplant offers needle-free painless anesthesia. But the problem is the clinic does not give any info on who the responsible anesthesiologist is on their website. Anesthesiology is an extraordinarily delicate and risky part of the whole process, and the clinics must be transparent about their team in this aspect. This is a minus.

Hermest Clinic’s team members are chosen explicitly from expert doctors with 10+ years of experience who worked on 1000+ hair transplant operations. However, we are not given any information about the remaining technicians and nurses of the operational team.

Post-Surgery, Instructions and Aftercare: 4/5

The clinic removes the bandages and does the first hair wash on the first day following the surgery. After informing the patient on the key points they should pay attention to, the clinic begins its 1-year-long post-op check-up regularly.

Hermest Hair Transplant also provides patients with a guarantee certificate, meaning that the clinic is confident with its work, and if any complication occurs, it’ll handle it. 

The clinic website has a page entirely dedicated to post-op instructions labeled “patient guide.” Under this page, patients can find out what activities are prohibited after surgery, what complications they may face at which phase, which hair regrowth supporting medications they should use, and many more.

Lastly, since the clinic uses no bio-enhancements during hair restoration, it also does not provide post-op ATPv spray to maximize the graft survival rate. 

Before and After Photos: 4/5

Hermest Hair Transplant provides photos of actual patients on its website and social media accounts such as Instagram and YouTube. Results are mostly natural-looking, and hairlines fit the patient’s head shape. 

However, it should be noted that every clinic chooses which result they will share on their websites.

Graft survival rates are almost entirely great, and only a handful of patients seem to be lacking in terms of reaching %90. In this aspect, it would’ve been great if the clinic had indicated which surgery technique each photo is from so that patients could better grasp what different methods can do.
