Heva Clinic - Istanbul

As a clinical pharmacist, I steer clear of marketing gimmicks and I instead evaluate procedures based on aspects such as clinical efficacy and safety. As such, when my perimenopause hormonal hair loss resulted in noticeable gaps, I knew that I had to choose a clinic that understood the task at hand. My evaluation centred on how well a clinic could explain their hair transplant process, down to the extraction depth, follicle survival rate, and time management. Heva won on all fronts,

My hair loss started small, but in just two or three years, I started looking like I was gearing up for retirement because of how thin my hair was. I knew things were bad when I started wearing hats during events or second-guessing my getup when leaving the house. I was worried because clinics that offer afro hair transplants are few and far between. Living in Chicago, my first options were the ones in the US. I had to turn them down for reasons such as unreasonable costs, horrible

It takes me a really long time to grow hair because I have very slow hair growth. I was even worried that the transplant would not work because of this but my surgeon told me that it would not be an issue. The process at heva was extensive and I loved how much time they spent on the consultation so that we would all be on the same page. When I finally got to Istanbul, I found that my package had included 3 nights at Radisson Blu where the staff was very accommodating. I also had

My balding was at a Norwood 3 and my hairline was bidding adieu faster than I could buy a toupee. I was only 35. This was not supposed to happen. My brother had all his hair at 47, and my father had almost all of his at 73. My family knew I would be particular about my hair transplant surgery, so they chose Heva Clinic, Istanbul on my behalf. They knew that if they left the decision up to me, I would see flaws in everything, and their research had pointed them in that direction.

My hair thinned out around my front crown and temples and people could even see my scalp if the light was bright enough. My friends suggested touch-up powders and new hairstyles but none of that worked to ease my hair loss anxiety. I decided to get a hair transplant in Turkey and after speaking to 5 clinics, I chose to work with Heva. They were the only ones who actually set up a video call with me, reviewed my photos, and cared enough to ask about how the surgery would affect

I am of African descent and have really coarse 4C hair. My hair coils so much that I can go months without cutting my hair, and you would not be able to tell because the growth would be hidden in the coils. I love it, but I knew that finding a surgeon who could handle such hair texture and pull off a good beard transplant was easier said than done. It took me about two years to finish my research. I looked at clinics in the US, the UK, and most of Europe, and I noticed that most

In 2020, I made a rushed decision to get a hair transplant. It was just one of those things that you do on a whim. Take my advice and never do that. I ended up with a pluggy hairline and clustered hair grafts that made me look ridiculous. I had to face people looking like an ad for bad hair transplants. Most hair clinics refused to do the repair because they were afraid of working over old scar tissue. Heva agreed because they had done this in the past and knew what they could

I was already planning a trip to Istanbul so I decided to fit a hair transplant on my list of things to do during the winter in 2026. After a consultation with Heva, which was my top choice, my surgeon recommended the DHI hair transplant because this would allow me to restore my hair without shaving it off. I fit this into the last 4 days of my trip because I knew I could not move around much during the healing stage. The surgery took about six and a half hours and I understand

I knew that facial hair was not in my genes to have a full beard but luckily I could always get a beard transplant which is what I opted to do in January this year. I looked around for beard transplant clinics before choosing to work with Heva after seeing their work on many people. The surgeon said that he could cover all the gaps and left me with the beard I wanted. The surgery was pretty quick and lasted about 5 hours. I was under local anesthesia the entire time and left him

People getting afro hair transplants often worry about graft transection, and this is the main reason many men opt not to get these procedures. While I cared about this, my main concern was overharvesting, as I did not want to leave the clinic with yet another hair issue. The surgical team used around 4100 grafts to deal with my hair loss. Usually, they would have used more, but since Afro hair is different, they used fewer grafts. It also meant that my hair transplant was not
