№AK-1118 (intermediary)
Measured · 82%
M1 · Facility & health-tourism licence 4 · 20%
OFFICIAL Its own health-tourism authorization is on the Ministry list (intermediary, AK-1118), matching the legal name, MERSIS 0079068813100001 and trade-registry number on the contact page, and the certificate is shown in the site footer. The operating location, BHT Clinic Istanbul Tema Hospital, is named by the provider only (one service page and llm.txt); this pass did not confirm the hospital's own authorization, so the score sits below top. source ↗
M2 · Operating surgeon named + verifiable 3 · 22%
UNVERIFIED Five doctors are named (Kasabaligil, Shokouhi, Yildiran, Aslan, Derici) with no specialty, credentials or role, and no page says who performs extraction or incisions. None appears in the 2024 ISHRS membership directory; Dr. Necdet Derici is listed on third-party directories as a general and bariatric surgeon. source ↗
M3 · Technique disclosure 4 · 10%
UNVERIFIED DHI and Sapphire FUE pages give step-by-step protocols (assessment, donor planning, extraction, implantation, first wash), selection criteria ('neither technique is automatically better'), local anaesthesia or sedation, a two-session megasession and a cap of three cases a day; held below top because there is no role map. source ↗
M4 · Claim / graft honesty 2 · 14%
UNVERIFIED 'At Novin Ariana, yes, we guarantee the results of your hair transplant', a 'life-time warranty', '98% success rate', '98% hair growth rate' and 'not painful at all', with review counts that differ page to page (5,800+, 7,000+, 10,000+). Offset in part by 'no fixed graft number', 'no surgical procedure is completely risk-free' and a stated 5–10% failure rate, so the score is low but not the floor. source ↗
M5 · Price transparency 3 · 8%
UNVERIFIED Turkey ranges are published in country-comparison tables ($2,590–3,990 hair transplant; $2,250–5,000 Sapphire FUE), package inclusions are listed and deposits of $200–500 are sold for packages A–D, but the packages are not defined, deposit and refund terms are not stated and the exact price comes 'after a consultation'. source ↗
M6 · Aftercare & revision policy 3 · 8%
UNVERIFIED Aftercare is described as a first wash, medication and aftercare kit, a recovery timeline, 24/7 support and 'one-year post-op support', but no revision or touch-up terms are published; the 'life-time warranty' carries no conditions. source ↗
Editorial · 18%
E1 · Professional corroboration 2 · 6%
UNVERIFIED editorial — Only ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 10002 logos without certificate numbers or certifier; no named doctor appears in the 2024 ISHRS directory; JCI is mentioned only inside a patient testimonial. source ↗
E2 · International-patient path 4 · 6%
UNVERIFIED editorial — Site in eight languages, interpreter, a five-step journey (free consultation, flights, hotel and VIP transfer, surgery, one-year post-op support), photo pre-assessment, pre-operative tests and a risk FAQ; consent and an emergency route are not described. source ↗
E3 · Operator transparency 3 · 6%
UNVERIFIED editorial — Legal entity, MERSIS and trade-registry number are on the contact page and the Ministry certificate names it a travel agency, but the site presents itself as 'Novin Ariana Health Clinic' with 'Hair Transplant Clinic' units; the hospital is named on one service page only, the doctors' link to it is not stated, and llms.txt and an older profile use other names ('Ariana Hair & Beauty Clinic', 'Ariana Hair & Health Clinic'). source ↗

What this register does NOT measure We do not rate the result of a transplant, a surgeon's skill, graft survival, complications or "who's better". We verify structural facts: the health-tourism authorization, the operating surgeon, the technique, the claims, the prices, the aftercare — and where something is unconfirmed, we say so.
