academy clinic made my visit so smooth and easy, everything was great and I want to thank the all the nurse and staff for being so helpful and supportive throughout my visit. I am so happy with my results and I would recommend this clinic to everyone!
Very welcoming people. I was stressed that the doctor had to take my canine out and is visible so they came with the option with a temporary tooth until next appointment for the implant. Also the bridge procedure was done with precision. Honestly they know what they are doing and you feel in good hands. Highly recommend Academy Health.
I am a patient from the UK who travelled to academy clinic in Turkey upon recommendations. The level of service from start to finish was 5 star. I had surgery done with academy clinic and everything from their part was so well planned out. Everyone representing the clinic was very friendly and took such good care of me.

I had breast augmentation with academy clinic. The experience from start to finish has been very smooth. The hospital is very clean and staff as helpful as can be.

I recently underwent a hair transplant at academy clinic in Istanbul, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the post-procedure follow-up, the team at academy clinic demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care.
The clinic itself is state-of-the-art, with modern facilities that made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the process. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure all my questions were answered and that I felt fully prepared before the procedure. The medical team, led by highly skilled surgeons, was extremely meticulous, ensuring everything was done with precision and care.
The procedure itself was smooth and relatively painless, and I was impressed with the thoroughness and attention to detail. The team ensured I understood the post-op care instructions, and the follow-up support has been fantastic. I am excited about the final outcome!
Traveling to Istanbul for this procedure was definitely worth it also VIP transportation between airport, 5 start to clinic and academy clinic provides an excellent combination of affordability and world-class expertise. For anyone considering a hair transplant, I would highly recommend academy clinic. They exceeded my expectations in every way.

Your dream appearance is closer than ever — guided by professionals and delivered through four simple, trusted steps.
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is a hair restoration procedure in which hair follicles are harvested one by one from a donor area—typically the back or sides of the scalp—and then transplanted into the recipient area. Because follicles are extracted individually, FUE leaves tiny dot-like scars that are virtually undetectable, making it an excellent choice for patients who prefer short hairstyles.
FUE is ideal for:
The FUE procedure consists of several key steps:
Donor Area Preparation: The donor area is trimmed and numbed with local anesthesia.
Follicle Extraction: Individual follicles are carefully extracted using a micro-punch device.
Graft Preservation: Extracted follicles are preserved under optimal conditions until implantation.
Implantation: Tiny incisions are made in the recipient area, and follicles are implanted at precise angles and depths to mimic natural hair growth.
The procedure typically takes between 6–8 hours depending on the number of grafts required.
FUE has one of the fastest recovery times in hair restoration. Patients can usually resume daily activities within 2–3 days. Some redness and swelling may appear but subside within a week.
At Academy Health, patients receive comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure maximum graft survival and long-lasting outcomes.
While FUE is a safe procedure, minor side effects such as temporary swelling, redness, or follicle shock loss may occur. These typically resolve on their own. Choosing experienced surgeons, like those at Academy Health, ensures a safe procedure with excellent results.
