Capilclinic: One of the best hair transplant clinics in Turkey



Hair loss is a common concern affecting millions of men and women around the world. Whether due to genetics, stress, hormonal imbalances, or medical conditions, the impact of hair loss goes far beyond aesthetics - it can affect confidence, self-image, and quality of life.

As the demand for hair restoration solutions grows, Turkey has emerged as the global leader in hair transplant procedures, attracting hundreds of thousands of medical tourists every year. Among the clinics that stand out for their excellence, innovation and patient satisfaction, Capilclinic has earned a reputation as one of the very best.

In 2024, Capilclinic was awarded the European Prize for Medical Excellence, a distinction granted to a select number of clinics that demonstrate consistent innovation, outstanding patient outcomes, and adherence to international standards of care. This recognition positions Capilclinic not only as a top choice in Turkey but also as a leading hair transplant clinic across the entire European continent.

Built on excellence

Capilclinic was founded with a clear mission: to offer world-class hair transplant procedures at accessible prices while maintaining the highest levels of medical safety and patient care. Over the years, it has consistently delivered on that promise, combining medical expertise with state-of-the-art technology and a deeply personalised approach to treatment.

Unlike many other clinics that focus on volume, Capilclinic emphasises quality over quantity. The clinic's philosophy is based on careful assessment, honest communication, and customised treatment plans that take into account the patient’s age, hair loss pattern, scalp condition and expectations.

2024 European Medical Excellence Award

In a highly competitive field, receiving international recognition is no small feat. The European Medical Excellence Award, granted in 2024, placed Capilclinic in a prestigious category of healthcare institutions that meet the strictest European standards.

This award evaluates clinics across criteria, including:

  • Consistent patient satisfaction and success rates
  • Innovative use of medical technology
  • Transparency and ethical practices
  • International reputation and credibility

Capilclinic stood out in all these categories. The award affirms the clinic’s status as one of the most trusted and respected hair transplant clinics in Europe.

Expert medical team led by renowned surgeons

A major part of Capilclinic’s success is due to its exceptional medical team, comprised of internationally trained and certified surgeons with years of experience in hair restoration. The clinic’s head surgeon, Dr Oguz Kayiran, is a highly respected figure in the field of dermatology and hair transplantation. He has performed thousands of successful procedures and regularly attends international conferences to stay at the forefront of new developments.

Capilclinic’s specialists are trained in all major hair restoration techniques, including:

  • FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction): A minimally invasive method that extracts individual hair follicles for natural-looking results with no visible scarring.
  • DHI (Direct Hair Implantation): An advanced technique that allows for precise implantation without shaving the recipient area.
  • Sapphire FUE: A newer version of FUE using sapphire blades, known for even less trauma and faster healing.

Each procedure is performed with surgical precision and aesthetic awareness, ensuring results that look natural and harmonious with the patient’s facial features.

High-tech facilities and European-level hygiene standards

Capilclinic is in a modern medical complex in Istanbul, equipped with the latest technology in surgical tools, diagnostic imaging and sterilisation. The facilities are certified to meet Turkish Ministry of Health regulations and EU hygiene and safety standards.

The surgical rooms are fitted with advanced air filtration systems, and all procedures are performed in a sterile environment to minimise the risk of infection.

This commitment to safety and innovation is one of the many reasons why Capilclinic continues to attract patients from over 40 countries.

Comprehensive all-inclusive packages

One of the most appealing aspects of Capilclinic is its transparent pricing model. Many patients from the UK, Ireland, UAE, Canada, and the US choose Capilclinic because they know exactly what they’re paying for — there are no hidden fees or surprise charges.

Capilclinic offers all-inclusive packages that typically include:

  • One-on-one consultation (online or in person)
  • Pre-surgery medical tests
  • Hair transplant procedure with FUE, DHI, or Sapphire FUE
  • Post-operative medication and care kit
  • Two nights in a four- or five-star hotel
  • Airport and hotel transfers
  • Dedicated English-speaking co-ordinators
  • Follow-up care and long-term support

This level of organisation makes the entire experience stress-free and easy to navigate, especially for first-time medical travellers.

Impressive before and after results

Capilclinic maintains a growing gallery of before-and-after photos showing real patient transformations. These images demonstrate the effectiveness of the clinic’s techniques in restoring not just hair - but self-confidence and emotional well-being.

Most patients begin to see visible growth within three to six months, with full results typically visible at the 12-month mark. The implanted hairs continue to grow naturally and can be cut, styled, and washed just like the rest of the scalp.

Glowing reviews and testimonials

Capilclinic has earned thousands of five-star reviews on independent platforms such as Google Reviews, Trustpilot, RealSelf and WhatClinic. Patients frequently praise the clinic for:

  • Honest and thorough consultations
  • Attentive and friendly staff
  • Painless or minimally painful procedures
  • Excellent post-operative care
  • Long-lasting and natural results

These testimonials serve as a powerful reminder of Capilclinic’s dedication to patient satisfaction.

Ideal location

Capilclinic is strategically located in Istanbul, a city that bridges Europe and Asia and has become one of the top global destinations for medical tourism. Many patients choose to combine their procedure with a short holiday, enjoying the city's rich culture, food, history, and architecture.

The clinic’s packages often include accommodations in centrally located hotels, allowing patients to recover comfortably while exploring one of the most iconic cities in the world.

Why Capilclinic stands out

With hundreds of hair transplant clinics operating in Turkey, standing out is not easy. Yet Capilclinic has managed to rise to the top by maintaining a steadfast commitment to medical excellence, ethical practices, and personalised care.

The European Medical Excellence Award in 2024 is a powerful symbol of Capilclinic’s trustworthiness and professional integrity. Whether you're just starting to experience hair loss or have been considering a transplant for years, Capilclinic offers a safe, effective, and supportive environment for your hair restoration journey.

Ten tax points to be aware of in 2026

1. Domestic VAT refund amendments: request your refund within five years

If a business does not apply for the refund on time, they lose their credit.

2. E-invoicing in the UAE

Businesses should continue preparing for the implementation of e-invoicing in the UAE, with 2026 a preparation and transition period ahead of phased mandatory adoption. 

3. More tax audits

Tax authorities are increasingly using data already available across multiple filings to identify audit risks. 

4. More beneficial VAT and excise tax penalty regime

Tax disputes are expected to become more frequent and more structured, with clearer administrative objection and appeal processes. The UAE has adopted a new penalty regime for VAT and excise disputes, which now mirrors the penalty regime for corporate tax.

5. Greater emphasis on statutory audit

There is a greater need for the accuracy of financial statements. The International Financial Reporting Standards standards need to be strictly adhered to and, as a result, the quality of the audits will need to increase.

6. Further transfer pricing enforcement

Transfer pricing enforcement, which refers to the practice of establishing prices for internal transactions between related entities, is expected to broaden in scope. The UAE will shortly open the possibility to negotiate advance pricing agreements, or essentially rulings for transfer pricing purposes. 

7. Limited time periods for audits

Recent amendments also introduce a default five-year limitation period for tax audits and assessments, subject to specific statutory exceptions. While the standard audit and assessment period is five years, this may be extended to up to 15 years in cases involving fraud or tax evasion. 

8. Pillar 2 implementation 

Many multinational groups will begin to feel the practical effect of the Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT), the UAE's implementation of the OECD’s global minimum tax under Pillar 2. While the rules apply for financial years starting on or after January 1, 2025, it is 2026 that marks the transition to an operational phase.

9. Reduced compliance obligations for imported goods and services

Businesses that apply the reverse-charge mechanism for VAT purposes in the UAE may benefit from reduced compliance obligations. 

10. Substance and CbC reporting focus

Tax authorities are expected to continue strengthening the enforcement of economic substance and Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting frameworks. In the UAE, these regimes are increasingly being used as risk-assessment tools, providing tax authorities with a comprehensive view of multinational groups’ global footprints and enabling them to assess whether profits are aligned with real economic activity.

Nepotism is the name of the game

Salman Khan’s father, Salim Khan, is one of Bollywood’s most legendary screenwriters. Through his partnership with co-writer Javed Akhtar, Salim is credited with having paved the path for the Indian film industry’s blockbuster format in the 1970s. Something his son now rules the roost of. More importantly, the Salim-Javed duo also created the persona of the “angry young man” for Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan in the 1970s, reflecting the angst of the average Indian. In choosing to be the ordinary man’s “hero” as opposed to a thespian in new Bollywood, Salman Khan remains tightly linked to his father’s oeuvre. Thanks dad.
