Hermest Hair Clinic – Unique FUE Hair Transplant Review
I had the Unique FUE hair transplant procedure at Hermest Hair Clinic on September 6, 2025 . Below is my detailed review of the entire process
Why I Chose Hermest
I first heard about Hermest through a close relative who had their transplant there. After doing my own research, I found that Hermest is a well-established, government-approved clinic with consistently strong reviews.
I reached out via WhatsApp and spoke with Buket, who explained the process and package options in detail. Initially, she suggested Sapphire FUE rather than DHI due to the number of grafts I would need, but she also shared that Hermest’s patented Unique FUE method has the highest reported success rate (99%).
I ultimately chose the Unique FUE Premium Package, which included stem cell therapy and a 3-night stay. The package cost around $1,200–$1,400 more than Sapphire FUE, but since I was traveling all the way from NYC, I didn’t want to risk regretting my choice.
Buket was amazing throughout — always available, patient with my questions, and supportive in arranging everything except my flight. For context, I also consulted with other clinics (like Serkan Aygin), but I felt more like a number there. With Hermest, I felt truly cared for as a patient. (Fun fact: even when I asked ChatGPT to suggest top clinics in Istanbul, Hermest came up in the top 5.)
The Day of the Procedure
Since I chose the premium package, I went in the day before for stem cell therapy — a quick 30-minute procedure. To be honest, I’m not sure I’d do it again, since that area felt extra sensitive on surgery day.
On the procedure day, I was greeted by Nilufer, who managed my operation. Dr. Ahmet was present, but Nilufer was in charge. She advised that I might need a second session due to the size of the area to be covered, and she designed my hairline. I asked for a slightly lower hairline, but she explained why it wouldn’t look natural and recommended the best option — I appreciated her honesty.
The team extracted follicles for about three hours, and the results were better than expected: many of my follicles contained double or triple hairs, which meant strong density in the transplanted area. Nilufer then performed the channel opening, punching 4,400 holes with impressive precision. After the team transplanted the grafts, she did a final check and made small adjustments.
The next day, I was taken back for my first wash and then dropped off at the airport.
Post-Procedure Support & Kit
My aftercare coordinator is Yanur, who has been fantastic. She replies to questions within 12 hours and checks in every few days to see how I’m doing. That level of care makes a huge difference, especially for a first-time patient like me.
Hermest also provided a post-transplant care kit, which included a special shampoo, HairMD foam spray, a neck pillow, and detailed instructions on how to wash and care for the transplanted area. This kit made the recovery process much easier and gave me peace of mind that I was following the right routine.
I especially liked the HairMD foam spray. Even though the instructions were to use it only until the scabs came off, I kept using it because it really helped with itching. I even ordered another bottle from Amazon to continue using it.
Recovery has been smooth overall. The hardest part was sleeping at a 45° angle for the first week, but once I could sleep on my side, it became much easier. By the end of week one, it looked like I had just shaved my head — no visible scars, thanks to the ultra-fine blade used in the Unique FUE technique.
Final Thoughts (2 Weeks Post-Op)
It’s been just over two weeks, and everything looks great so far. The clinic lived up to its promises, and I’m very happy with the experience. Now it’s just a matter of waiting for the long-term results — but based on everything so far, I’m confident I made the right choice.
👉 I’m also uploading pictures from the day of the procedure and 10 days after, so you can see the progress for yourself.
