Is RIZE Este Med a clinic?+

No. RIZE Este Med is a US-based concierge service. We connect you with accredited partner clinics in Istanbul and guide you through every step of the journey - from your first question to your aftercare back home. All medical procedures are performed by our independent, certified partner clinics.

How much does a hair transplant in Turkey cost?+

Pricing depends on your individual assessment - graft count, technique, and the partner clinic best suited to your case. Your free consultation includes a transparent, all-inclusive quote covering the procedure, accommodation, transfers, and translation.

Is it safe to have treatment in Turkey?+

Istanbul is one of the world's leading destinations for hair restoration and aesthetic procedures. We only work with accredited partner clinics that meet international medical standards. Your safety is the basis of every clinic match we make.

How long do I stay in Istanbul?+

Most hair transplant patients stay 2–3 nights. Aesthetic procedures vary based on the treatment and recovery needs - your consultation will outline an exact itinerary.

Will there be a language barrier?+

No. English-speaking coordination is included throughout your trip, and translation is provided at the clinic. You always have a single US-based point of contact at RIZE Este Med.

What's included in the package?+

Typical partner-clinic packages include the consultation and hair analysis, the procedure itself, accommodation in Istanbul, airport and clinic transfers, translation, and aftercare products with detailed guidance.

When will I see results?+

For hair transplantation, visible growth typically begins around 3–4 months, with full results around 9–12 months. Your treating clinic provides a personalized timeline.

FUE vs DHI - what's the difference?+

FUE extracts individual follicular units and implants them into pre-opened channels. DHI uses a specialized implanter pen to place grafts directly, often allowing denser packing in targeted zones. The right choice depends on your goals, donor area, and clinical assessment.

What if I need help after I get home?+

Your treating clinic provides aftercare guidance, and we stay in touch from the US to make sure your recovery and results are on track. You are never on your own after the trip.
