The problem
Turkey performs over 700,000 hair transplants a year1 — the results can be world-class at a fifth of US prices. But the ISHRS estimates 15–20% of Istanbul clinics lack proper licensing.2 The playbook is always the same:
- The famous surgeon on the website never enters your operating room — technicians do everything (illegal in Turkey, still common)
- Before/after photos that are stock images or AI-generated
- A “5,000 graft” promise made before anyone has seen your head
- A price that grows after you’ve landed
You could spend weeks messaging clinics one by one — and still not know if the quote in your inbox is fair, or if the reviews you read were paid for.

How it works
Describe your case — 2 minutes. Hair loss stage, photos if you’re comfortable, timeline, budget.
We verify — 24 hours. AI-assisted analysis by our team: who actually operates, license status, verified patient results (not stock photos), and how each quote compares to real market prices.
You compare — with evidence. 3 vetted clinics, all-in package prices side by side, fair-price context, and the receipts for every claim.
Why trust us
Clinics can’t buy their way in. No clinic pays to be recommended or ranked. Ever. That’s the entire point.
We show our work. Every recommendation comes with the evidence: license record, operating surgeon, verified results.
Fair price, defined. We track what Istanbul clinics actually charge, so you’ll know if a quote is market rate, a premium, or a fleece. (Typical vetted all-in packages: ~$2,500–5,000 depending on technique and grafts. If someone quotes you $12,000 — or $900 — you should know why.)
Built by two engineers, not a clinic’s marketing department. We previously built health-tech for veterinary care; we’ve seen what honest clinic comparison takes.
FAQ
Is this free? What’s the catch?
Free for patients. If you book, the clinic pays us a fee — the same fee regardless of which vetted clinic you choose, so we have no reason to steer you.
Are you doctors?
No, and we don’t give medical advice. We verify providers, results, and prices. Candidacy and treatment decisions stay between you and the surgeon.
What if something goes wrong after surgery?
We only work with licensed clinics with real aftercare protocols, and we stay reachable through your recovery. We’ll be honest: no one can guarantee a medical outcome — anyone who does is showing you a red flag.
Do I need to send photos?
They help accuracy, but you can start without. Your data is stored securely and never shared without your consent.
Why Turkey?
Volume creates mastery — the best Istanbul surgeons do more procedures in a year than most US surgeons do in a career, at ~20% of the US price. The skill is real; the market is just hard to read. That’s the problem we solve.
24 hours from now, you could know exactly where you'd be in safe hands — and what it should cost.
