Dr Cinik Hair & Skin Clinic

What Dr Cinik Hair & Skin Clinic does

Dr Cinik Hair & Skin Clinic is a privately-held, founder-led medical practice specializing in hair transplantation and restoration, headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey. Founded in 2019 by Dr. Emrah Cinik, a hair transplant surgeon with over 20 years of experience, the clinic operates from a 5,000 square metre facility in Istanbul's Beşiktaş district with 28 operating theatres and 65 medical professionals. The core service offering spans multiple follicular unit extraction (FUE) techniques — standard FUE, Sapphire FUE (using sapphire crystal blades for finer incisions), Manual FUE, and Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) via Choi pen — alongside complementary regenerative therapies including PRP, exosome therapy, Regenera Activa stem-cell treatment, and fractional laser. Specialized procedures cover women's hair loss, Afro-textured hair, beard transplants, unshaven procedures, and corrective surgery for failed transplants from other clinics.

The business model is direct-to-consumer medical tourism, with all-inclusive packages priced between €2,350 (standard FUE) and €5,500 (VIP Sapphire FUE personally performed by Dr. Cinik), each covering consultation, surgery, accommodation in 4-5 star hotels, VIP transfers, medication, PRP treatment, blood tests, and structured 12-month follow-up. Patients are acquired primarily through digital channels including a 17+ language website, online consultation portal, Trustpilot (4.9/5 across 5,800+ reviews), and high-profile celebrity endorsements from elite footballers such as Rio Ferdinand, Rivaldo, and Ivan Rakitic. In 2025 the clinic expanded to London with a Harley Street aftercare clinic offering PRP, PRF, exosome therapy, hair mesotherapy, and laser growth treatments to European patients returning from Istanbul. Adjacent sub-brands include Cinik Dental and Dr Cinik Plastic Surgery London. No venture capital or private equity investment is evidenced; the practice is wholly owned by Dr. Cinik, who personally trains the senior medical team and signs off on every patient file.

Product overview

Dr Cinik Hair & Skin Clinic is a hair restoration and medical care provider offering a comprehensive portfolio centered on surgical hair transplantation techniques and complementary non-surgical hair loss treatments. The core offering consists of multiple transplant methods—FUE, Sapphire FUE, Manual FUE, and DHI—each suited to different patient needs, from large-area coverage to precision hairline work. Supporting the surgical portfolio are adjunct therapies including Regenera Activa (stem cell), PRP, exosome therapy, and laser hair treatment, with needle-free anesthesia and sedation options as pain management add-ons. The clinic also operates specialized services for women, Afro-textured hair, beard transplants, and unshaven procedures. The company extends beyond hair with dental services and a London-based aftercare clinic for post-operative support.

Products and services

• FUE Hair Transplant Follicular Unit Extraction procedure where individual hair follicles are harvested one by one with a micropunch and implanted into pre-opened channels; leaves no linear scar and works on most hair types. Offered as an all-inclusive package priced from €2,350 including consultation, hotel, transfers, PRP, blood tests, medication and post-op follow-up.
• Sapphire FUE Hair Transplant Sapphire FUE procedure using sapphire blades rather than steel for channel incisions, resulting in finer cuts, denser and more natural angle of growth, quicker healing and smaller wounds. Offered as an all-inclusive package priced from €2,890.
• Manual FUE Hair Transplant Manual extraction hair transplant recommended for sensitive skin or corrective procedures on previously failed operations elsewhere; may require two consecutive days if necessary. Offered as an all-inclusive package priced from €3,990.
• DHI Hair Transplant Direct Hair Implantation using a Choi pen to insert hair follicles directly with precise control over depth, direction and angle, without pre-opened channels; optimal for hairline reconstruction and premium density in defined zones. Offered as an all-inclusive package priced from €3,590.
• Beard Transplant Facial hair transplantation using direct implantation technique for fine control of angle and depth; suitable for filling sparse patches, beard reconstruction after scarring or full beard coverage.
• Hair Transplant for Women Specialized hair transplant procedure using finer follicular units and lower density to match natural female hair loss patterns, with attention to hairline and crown; targets hormonal, post-partum, autoimmune or genetic female hair loss.
• Afro Hair Transplant Hair transplant tailored for curly, kinky or Afro-textured hair, accounting for the unique characteristics of the follicle curl pattern and reducing transection risk.
• Unshaven Hair Transplant Hair transplant procedure performed without shaving the patient's existing hair, suitable for patients who cannot or prefer not to shave their head.
• PRP Hair Therapy Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy in which the patient's blood is drawn, spun in a centrifuge, and the platelet-rich fraction is reinjected into thinning areas; growth factors slow androgenetic loss, improve scalp vascularisation and reinforce existing follicles. Available standalone at the London clinic and included in every Istanbul transplant package.
• Exosome Therapy Regenerative treatment using exosomes (tiny vesicles secreted by stem cells) injected into the scalp, showing promising results in early studies particularly for diffuse hair loss patterns; used selectively as a follow-up booster after surgery and as a standalone offering at the London clinic.
• Fractional Laser Hair Treatment Non-invasive fractional laser hair therapy that uses controlled light pulses to activate follicle stem cells and improve microcirculation; used as a standalone treatment for early-stage thinning and for post-operative maintenance.
• Regenera Activa Regenerative therapy that uses a small biopsy of the patient's own scalp, processes the cells within 30 minutes and reinjects activated cells into thinning areas; used for early-stage hair loss or as a post-operative booster.
• Dr Cinik London Hair Clinic London Harley Street clinic delivering post-operative aftercare services using the same protocols, supplements, injection volumes and equipment as the Istanbul facility, including PRP, PRF, exosome therapy, hair mesotherapy and laser growth treatment, serving European patients who prefer closer follow-up proximity.
• Dr Cinik Skin Clinic London Skin clinic at the London location offering dermatology and aesthetic skin treatments under the Dr Cinik brand as an adjunct to the hair restoration practice.
• Cinik Dental Clinic Adjacent dental care clinic branded as Cinik Dental, providing complete dental services as a separate entity under the Dr Cinik group.
• Dr Cinik Plastic Surgery London Plastic surgery services offered at the London Harley Street location, extending the group's medical offerings beyond hair restoration.
