Longevita Hair Transplant strives to be the top choice for medical tourism. It’s important that our patients can trust and rely on us to take the best possible care of them while meeting their needs. There are more than just a few things that we do to ensure to be the best hair transplant clinic in Turkey.
Longevita’s Philosophy
Longevita aims to provide affordable, high-quality private healthcare in Turkey. Long wait times can make elective surgeries inaccessible to many people around the world. In addition, it worsens health outcomes in the long run. However, medical tourists in Turkey do not have to face this problem.
Take the UK, for instance, where the long NHS waiting time has been a problem for decades and has only been worsened by the coronavirus pandemic. Millions of people are waiting for routine operations, of which hundreds and thousands have been queuing for over a year. In July 2021, the NHS England chief said it might take up to 3 years to clear the NHS backlog.
The underfunding, budget cuts and staffing problems have taken their toll on the system. Consequently, the health of many patients continues to deteriorate, and their problems end up worsening. The situation is even worse for those people who want to get cosmetic surgery.
Since the NHS considers hair transplant a cosmetic surgery, it doesn’t offer treatment for it. Losing hair causes many people mental anguish. It can affect their personal, professional and social life. For a hair transplant in the UK, they may have to pay tens of thousands of pounds.

How We Set Up the Best Hair Transplant Clinic in Turkey?
We identified the pain points of patients who were travelling to the country for a hair transplant.
Patient Safety
A reason why some people hesitate to come to Turkey is that they are unsure about the healthcare standards. Moreover, they are in the dark about the facilities where the surgery would take place.
Longevita prioritizes patient safety every step of the way. For that, we make sure that the hair transplant clinic in Turkey and the surgeons hold certain certifications, registrations, and accreditations. They also need to follow a code of ethical conduct when it comes to patient care.
The certifications and accreditations are not just from local but also international organizations. Thus, the patient can rest assured that they will experience the highest standard of care. They can feel safe, comfortable, and calm.
12-Month Aftercare Program
Many people fear travelling to another country to get a hair transplant because they’re unsure of the aftercare. They worry about what would become of them if something went wrong back home. Longevita has a dedicated team of aftercare specialists and an online support portal. Patients will receive periodic follow-ups, free medical assessments at key stages of the recovery process and individual monitoring to ensure the best results are achieved.
The aftercare support portal has articles, infographic guides, downloadable resources to read and a patient forum to engage with fellow Longevita patients. In the portal, patients can also create customer support tickets for any questions or queries, and they can schedule video or audio calls with aftercare experts whenever they need support. In addition, we have a clinic in London where you can have check-up appointments or face-to-face consultations with hair transplant surgeons.
Best Price Guarantee
We are able to offer the most affordable treatments to our patients. In hair transplant clinics in the UK, the price varies according to the number of hair grafts the patient needs. The larger the area of baldness, the higher the cost of the surgery. Longevita, however, includes maximum grafts in each treatment session.

How Longevita Had the Best Hair Transplant Clinic in Turkey During COVID-19
The Turkish government took active measures to ensure the safety of medical tourists. Medical tourists had peace of mind because the government introduced Tourist Protect Support Insurance. The vaccine rollout has been quick and successful.
At Longevita, cleanliness, disinfection, and hygiene are always integral to the maintenance of a hospital/clinic. To have the best clinic in Turkey during Covid, we were more vigilant than ever about following all the protocols to prevent the spread of the virus.
Longevita’s team is monitoring the health situation on COVID-19. So, all precautions are being taken to ensure the safety and health of our patients. After every procedure, we follow the standard protocol for sterilizing the room. Again, we follow the guidelines of the Turkish Ministry of Health for this purpose.

How Longevita Finds the Best Hair Transplant Clinic in Turkey
Longevita’s surgeons will perform hair transplants in Turkey in their private clinic or hospital. But Longevita has strict selection criteria for every medical facility.
Longevita has adopted the core values of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) and the British Association of Hair Restoration Surgery (BAHRS) and uses them in selecting the clinics and hospitals for hair transplants. The core purpose of ISHRS is to improve the life quality of those individuals with hair loss. Their core values are:
- Ethical conduct
- Free exchange of knowledge
- Pursuit of excellence
- Honesty and integrity
- Diversity
Longevita finds clinics that follow the best practices and standards of healthcare. Having the seal of approval of these international organizations speaks to the quality of service they provide.
Code of Ethical Conduct
All our medical facilities need to follow a code of ethical conduct. Only that can guarantee exemplary patient care. Longevita ensures the implementation of:
- Open and honest communication with the patient. They should be made aware of the potential risks and complications of the surgery.
- Surgeons will not misguide or provide disinformation to any patient.
- The surgeon needs to inform the patient about what can be achieved from the surgery. Moreover, the patient should know what results they can expect from it.
- Every clinic/hospital will provide a bespoke treatment plan to the patients based on their needs and preferences.
- The surgeon will guide the patient about the need or necessity for the surgery.
- The patient will not be discriminated against under any circumstance.

During that time, you can look up the registrations of the clinic and the surgeons on the relevant websites. However, you should also know about the accreditations our medical facilities have. It’s important that you find this out during the research process so that you know for sure if a facility is truly the best.

The Ministry of Health “provides guidance, monitoring, evaluation, incentives and audits and imposes sanctions.” Therefore, we make sure to follow the regulations, standards and practices of the Ministry. To ensure the provision of “timely, relevant, and effective” healthcare solutions, we are constantly evolving to keep pace with innovation.
Joint Commission International (JCI)
Joint Commission International (JCI) is a “global leader in health care accreditation.”. Their seal of approval is proof of the highest quality of “patient care and safety.” Facilities that uphold the standards of JCI and pass the assessment of the organisation get its accreditation.
Having accreditation from any other organization will not qualify it for JCI. JCI-recognized facilities make continuous efforts to sustain their accreditation. They do so by keeping up with their latest standards.
