Cosmeticium

What Cosmeticium does

Cosmeticium is a privately held medical tourism clinic headquartered in the Şişli district of Istanbul, Turkey, founded in 2012 and operating with 11-50 employees. The clinic specializes in hair restoration procedures, offering FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) hair transplants as well as beard transplants. The underlying technique is surgeon-driven: individual follicles are extracted from a donor area and implanted according to a personalized plan that accounts for the patient's hair structure, donor area characteristics, facial proportions, and long-term expectations.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer model targeting international medical tourists. Patients originate primarily through the cosmeticium.com website, where they complete a consultation form to receive a free hair analysis, after which a dedicated personal consultant guides them through treatment planning, scheduling, and post-operative follow-up. Revenue is generated from one-time professional-services fees for each procedure; no recurring subscription or membership model is in place and pricing is not publicly disclosed, with quotes provided on a per-patient basis. A complementary Free Hair Analysis service functions as the top-of-funnel conversion mechanic, and before-and-after galleries plus patient testimonials serve as the primary marketing assets supporting patient acquisition.

The clinic is led by a small medical team of three hair surgeons, Dr. Caglar Armagan, Dr. Batu, and Dr. Baris, with no disclosed institutional ownership, external funding, partnerships, or M&A activity. Cosmeticium is privately operated with no parent company, subsidiaries, or public listing, and its footprint is confined to a single Istanbul location serving a global inbound patient base.
