Correct™ Philosophy
Turk Hair Institute has disciplined the way it does hair transplants around the Correct™ Philosophy, which consists of three elements, and these three elements are shaped around the three core values of the brand. Turk Hair Institute’s founding philosophy encompassed the values of Analysis, Success and Progress.
They believed that these values helped them become the most recognized hair transplant clinic in the region. Soon after, in the light of these values, Turk Hair Institute introduced its practice and philosophy as the standard for hair transplantation.
The Correct™ Philosophy consists of 4 key elements:
1 – Correct™ Planning
At Turk Hair Institute, the process always starts with analysis. The Correct™ Planning technique illuminates the way to achieve a natural-looking transplant result. Analyzing data before making a decision is an important step in hair transplantation. Thus, Turk Hair Institute recognizes the patient’s inputs and strives to achieve the maximum result. In the Correct™ Planning step, our doctors examine the donor area in detail.
Turk Hair Institute believes that determining the optimal number of grafts for the patient’s needs depends on the doctor’s skill in hair design and aesthetic concepts. After the donor area examination, the transplantation area is planned according to the previous examination data. Then the hairline is drawn with the help of special devices that provide an optimal and natural result.
2 – Correct™ Hair Line Design
We believe that hairline design is the key to a natural-looking hair transplant result. Our Correct™ Hairline Design procedures prioritize transplanting single hair follicular units into the front lines to maintain aesthetic proportions and appearance. Our aesthetic front line design always takes angles into consideration to lengthen the hair in a natural-looking way. Since it is important to maintain the masculinity of the hairline, the position of the hairline is determined by the musculature of the forehead. This approach is combined with precise calculations of facial proportions. The design of the hairline according to age is another critical factor, aging is a natural process, so a natural looking hair transplant needs to be in harmony with the age of the patient.
Our True Hairline Design uses micro and macro disturbances as an advantage to maintain the natural look, making it easier to achieve the targeted look.
3 – Correct™ Execution
The day of the operation is the main milestone for a successful outcome in this whole process. After a long preparation of technical details, the day of the operation ends within the steps it was designed for. Therefore, thanks to Turk Hair Institute’s high-level measures, the process is not allowed to go wrong.
Turk Hair Institute’s main goal is always to achieve successful operations and results and uses all its efforts and resources to succeed and do its best. To maintain this, Turk Hair Institute recruits, trains and manages highly skilled medical professionals. Turk Hair Institute’s specialists are checked according to ISHRS criteria. Parameters such as operational experience, operational excellence standards and manual skills are all qualities that are in the DNA of the Turk Hair Institute team.
4 – Correct™ İnovasyon
The founders of Turk Hair Institute are strongly committed to the idea of development as the foundation of medicine. Turk Hair Institute has an unending passion for advancing innovation. Turk Hair Institute medical experts and medical consultants are always striving to find more effective ways of performing the most efficient hair transplant operations. The sapphire FUE hair transplantation technique is one of the brightest manifestations of Correct™ Innovation, which is a must in all operations. The true motifs of Innovation are the never-ending quest for perfection.
All team members at Turk Hair Institute are trained according to the elements of the Correct™ Philosophy and regularly tested against success criteria.

- The health advisor obtains patient information and expectations (including a photograph of the patient) by sending a medical assessment questionnaire.
- The health counselor and surgeons review needs and expectations, develop preliminary plans and prepare assessment reports.
- The health counselor provides patients with treatment plans and shares economic details with patients.
- Health consultants support patients every step of the way before surgery at our centers in Istanbul (travel information, visa, etc.)
Day of Surgery and After
- Surgery Day Patients are greeted at the clinic by a patient relations specialist fluent in at least two foreign languages who guides them through each step of the procedure throughout the day.
- Pre-operative information: The doctor informs the patient early in the morning about the surgery to be performed.

- Surgery All surgeries at Turk Hair Institute are performed by a surgeon or hair transplant surgical assistant under the supervision of a hair transplant surgeon.

After the discharge/check-out process is completed, a Patient Experience Specialist responsible for hair growth for 18 months is assigned and introduced to the patient. Patient experience specialists are experts in observing hair growth and work closely with our doctors to monitor healthy growth.
