Hi guys, I'm pretty sure this post of mine will go a long way to help my fellow brothers of african origin. I am a 24 year old guy of African Origin (West Africa,Ghana). I started losing my hair (receding hairline ) about 5 years ago. I did a lot of research and finally decided to go for my procedure at the maral klinik ( and I haven't regretted it all -;) ).
Apparently, I chose maral klinik because of the amazing reviews and results I saw here by some of his patients. Moreover, the price is great!!! (2000euros for the procedure, 3 nights of stay, post-op medication and transportion ) it's awesome!!! Still can't believe someone will do such a quality job at such a relatively low price _ well that's dr.maral for you.

I just arrived from Istanbul this morning; feeling exhausted. I will post a more detailed review after I have had some good rest.

Just wanna remind my fellow brothers of the Black race who are losing their hair that there is light at the end of the tunnel -:)

I'll be back.......

I'm thinking about going to this clinic. Can I ask who did the procedure? I heard Dr Maral only supervises? Not that I'm too fussed about that. I just want to know who the other people doing it are and what are their qualifications if you know??
Thanks and good luck!

Yh it's true that dr maral only supervises. He does the all the consultation but the main operation is conducted by his workers who have several years of experience. I don't know about their qualifications but from the results of their works I can boldly tell you that those guys are extremely qualified for the job .

there is a week that I had my transplant in this clinic. Maral only supervise and his technicians do the rest of the work. But only a specialist of them is allowed to proceed to the most important part of the job : opening of the channels where the implants are placed. Maral regularly controled the work.

Since when did moral klinik treat black men???????? I'm a black male and sent the clinic some photos of my hair line to them and below is a cut and paste of the response they sent me on Tuesday 7th June 2016.

Hi Miksuthe,

Sorry, but we do not offer FUE hair transplant in African descent men. Due to donor area hair curliness and tight skin, graft removal by this technique is generally impossible or may be very difficult technically, so the number of usable grafts may be very low and insufficient to cover the hair loss area.

Best regards,
Maral Klinik

Hi DBIZZ,
Did you phone them up and told you that their technique doesn't work on African hair? I saw another comment where the poster sent a reply by Dr Maral himself saying the technique doesn't work on African hair. This is a puzzle to since abd-24 did it there. Really strange.

VERY STRANGE CAMEY38..I DID CALL THEM BUT CHECK OUT.https://www.realself.com/review/istanbul-tr-fue-hair-transplant-fue-male-afro-caribbean-hair-type#

The same thing happened to me at maral clinic when he learned that i am half black. But as my hair is fine and not complement curly, they did a small test on my hair and the test was OKAY and so the hair transplantat was possible for me. Why would not you go to see other doctors ? Maybe you can insist on him (Maral) or take the same risk as me?

DBIZZ,
Thanks for the link, yes this is so strange as i really wanted to do it there after l saw abd_24's amazing result. But there's an alternative, it's Esthica if i'm spelling it right because i saw a great result for an African hair.

All I'm saying to those reading this review it seems a bit suspect. Be careful of fake reviews and do careful research when looking to get hair transplant.

Illoyd I am suprised you are claiming my review is suspicious. If i may ask you what makes it suspicious? Is it because it's coming from a black guy or what?
