The premium package is affordable (Price < 3000€)
Vera Clinic’s review starts with a touch on the transparency trend. The clinic provides in-depth pricing on its website, along with the cost of each hair transplant package. That is a clear positive sign that we wish every clinic would follow; it is a plus.
Packages are mostly all-inclusive, except for the aftercare products that are not included in the pricing. Also, online patient reviews state that the clinic charges extra for aftercare products. These services are vital to the recovery of every patient, and blocking them with barriers of extra costs is a negative point in our framework.

The prices of the packages in Vera Clinic depend on the chosen technique for the hair transplant surgery. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), DHI, and Stem Cell FUE techniques are provided at the clinic.
The most premium package is way above 3000€, almost twice as much, making the clinic’s overall services much more expensive than the average of Turkish hair transplant clinics.
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.
Vera Clinic has no information on its website about pre-op instructions for improving scalp condition. These instructions are helpful in teaching patients the right supplements to use, what they should or shouldn’t do, and preparing the scalp by strengthening hair roots with the right diet for the best result.
If you plan on meeting with Dr. Vayni before the operation date, you can happily do so. Despite how busy the schedule might be, the clinic prepares a personal one-on-one consultation for every patient.
After each consultation, the clinic provides a very thorough hair loss diagnosis and report that explains the optimal options for the patient’s hair restoration process. The report includes the level of balding in each zone and calculates the necessary graft counts to fill them.
The information you will receive in these reports, along with more in-depth information, can be found on the clinic’s website, providing detailed information about each phase of the hair restoration process and what patients will experience.
Lastly, communication with a customer representative and booking is quite easy on Vera Clinic’s website as there are a lot of options for contacting them and a lot of language options on the website. The clinic’s website is written in French, Arabic, English, Italian, German, Russian, Portuguese, and Spanish.
Facilities, Services, and Accommodation 4/5
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.
As soon as you land in Istanbul, the clinic representative will pick you up from the airport and take you directly to your hotel via VIP transfer.
The hotel that is included in every package has a 3-night accommodation in a 5-star hotel. We are not given any information about the hotel; however, even the fact that it is included is a plus on its own.
The extra 1 night is absolutely essential for proper rest and recovery after the physically stressful experience of the surgery. It is good to see that the clinic puts extra effort into securing a service so crucial for graft health. That is a plus.
Vera Clinic operates in its own building rather than being connected to a hospital. The exterior of the building is modern-looking, and the building itself is quite big. The interior of the building seems to include modern equipment, and surgical rooms look very hygienic.
Overall, the quality of their facilities and accommodation is top-notch. The only downside is that their location is very unfortunate. It is located in Kartal, on the Anatolian side of Istanbul, and is nowhere close to a central location, making it difficult to access. It is only 21 km from Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW) but 104 km from Istanbul Airport (ISL).
Additionally, the clinic seems to have a secondary location in Atasehir, on the Anatolian side of Istanbul. This option, too, is not in a central location, and it is difficult to get to the clinic or go somewhere else from the clinic. The second clinic is only 28 km from Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW) but 85 km from Istanbul Airport (ISL).
Physicians and Staff: 5/5
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 the leading doctor of the clinic, Dr. Vayni, specializes in hair transplants and has worked in numerous hair transplants since 2009. Also, the clinic has two plastic surgeons, Dr. Ekrem Keskin and Dr. Engin Selamioglu, in addition to several other physicians with experience in performing hair transplants. That is a big plus.
Vera Clinic has an anesthesiologist on its team who administers needle-free local anesthesia Dr. Salim Aysu. It is very comforting for every potential patient to know that professionals are taking care of each step of the journey at Vera Clinic.
Combined with such a high number of surgeons and technicians all around, the operational team alone has more than at least 3 doctors giving their attention to a single patient during the surgery, which is a clear plus.
In addition to having a collective experience of thousands of successful surgeries all around, the staff is also highly knowledgeable in English, so you should have no trouble expressing your concerns during the surgery.

Surgery Methods and Doctor Involvement: 2/5
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.
In accordance with the ISHRS guidelines, the leading doctor must be present during the hair transplant surgery. So, it is a big plus that Vera Clinic values that. The blood tests, hairline drawing, and supervision of every transplant include Dr. Vayni’s attention.
However, despite promising such a valuable service that requires great attention, it is difficult to know or believe how much they hold to their word. That is because the clinic does not focus on only accepting one patient a day, which can tire surgeons and decrease their efficiency.
The clinic does not use any type of bio-enhancements (such as hypothermosol, biotin-rich serums, and liposomal ATPv) for any of the hair methods. These are crucial to increase the survival of the transplant grafts by strengthening them before the beginning of the treatment.
Despite what your chosen package is, the clinic includes local anesthesia and sedation with no extra fee. However, the actual part that requires attention is the fact that these options are done with a needle-free dermojet, reducing the physical pain of the surgery even further. That is a difficult-to-find quality that gets a plus in our framework.
Lastly, the surgeons in Vera Clinic draw the new hairline by hand. So, laser-assisted hairline drawing and telogen/miniaturization checks are not present, which can be a minor setback compared to other clinics.
Post-Surgery, Instructions and Aftercare: 4/5
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.
On the first day after surgery, your first wash will be done by Vera Clinic’s surgeons, who also inform you about the post-op checkup. They suggest you use the same special shampoo that they use during the first wash, along with other aftercare products. Additionally, a special solution will be applied to the donor area for faster recovery.
After that, the post-surgery process will officially begin, and the clinic will regularly keep in contact with the patient, asking for photos to check the healing process and providing consultation. This is absolutely necessary to ensure that the transplant stays intact and becomes a success.
To get further information about what you can do during the after-surgery process, you can check the clinic’s website, which provides detailed explanations about the changes your scalp goes through during each step of the recovery phase.
Vera Clinic offers a re-do transplant guarantee in the case of a failed surgery; this warranty is for a lifetime, so you will be assured of it. To learn more about what the guarantee conditions include, you should contact the clinic. In any case, it is a plus to see this service included in the packages.
What is not included in the packages, however, is that post-op ATPv sprays are nowhere to be found. As the clinic does not perform bio-enhanced surgeries, we are not entirely surprised to see that ATPv sprays are not present as well. This is a minus as they are highly vital to support the survival of the transplanted grafts.
Lastly, despite not including the medications and shampoo in their packages, they are available for purchase at extra cost at the clinic and the clinic’s website.
Online Reviews: 3/5
The clinic has over 500+ online reviews.
Negative reviews are positively handled.
Independent review website ratings 4.5+.
Video testimonials of actual patients are available.
High satisfaction rate.
| Website | Google Reviews | Trustindex Reviews |

Vera Clinic has thousands of reviews across different internet platforms. So, patients should have no problem digging deep to see what ex-patients have experienced.
The reviews are mostly filled with satisfied patient comments, and as for the bad reviews, they are mostly responded to by providing a re-do guarantee and asking for contact options.
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.
Vera Clinic has photos of past patients on its website and various social media accounts. The results seem mostly natural, especially around the frontal hairline. Also, the website has more personalized photos with different angles from patients who have consented to sharing their entire process.
Unfortunately, the surgery techniques are not indicated in any of the photos, and graft survival rates seem to be below 90%. That is likely due to not using bio-enhancements during or after the surgery, as achieving a high survival rate without them is very difficult.
Here are the before and after photos of Vera Clinic:
Conclusion
Vera Clinic Rating
Vera Clinic starts with high-quality services that are quite expensive and above the average cost of other hair transplant clinics in the country.
Showing the costs of the detailed packages upfront is a great choice for being as transparent as possible and getting recognition from our framework. That being said, this transparency also makes it easier to see the missing parts in Vera Clinic’s services, such as not including fundamental aftercare products in the pricing or not using vital bio-enhancements.
It is a big plus that Dr. Vayni is involved in every surgical process. Also, the needle-free dermojet local anesthesia and PRP treatment are included in each package as well, which are great assets.
The clinic itself is an easy-to-spot building with high-technology equipment on the inside. Also, the surgical rooms appear to be carefully organized and hygienic.
Vera Clinic has a wide team of experienced doctors, plastic surgeons, and an anesthesiologist of their own to do the sedation. It is a great addition that they have such keen doctors at present at all times. It is a negative point, however, that they do not get to focus their attention on a single patient a day to maximize their efforts.
Our objective rating for the clinic is 3.8/5.0 according to our Price-Service-Result (PSR) framework.

FAQ
Does Vera Clinic have a clear price list available?

What does the Reddit community think about Vera Clinic?
Vera Clinic has a fairly divided reputation on Reddit. The community has patients who share views from all sides. There are some who are happy with the results after 2 years, and there are some who lost most of the hair they got after the transplant and therefore see the clinic as a hair mill.
