Estethica Hospital Istanbul — a Class A multi-speciality medical centre in Istanbul

Estethica Hospital Istanbul: a Class A multi-speciality medical centre bringing together six medical specialities in Istanbul.

Estethica Hospital Istanbul is one of the few Class A medical centers (A Tipi Tıp Merkezi) in Istanbul that brings six areas of medicine together under a single license from Turkey's Ministry of Health. BIOHACTOUR (certificate EST-2026-06-992, travel agency license TÜRSAB A-14433) is the officially authorized representative of Estethica Hospital Istanbul, and this piece looks at the clinic as a whole, not only the hair transplant work it's best known for.

The clinic runs six specialties: hair transplantation (28,000+ procedures completed), plastic and reconstructive surgery, dermatology and medical aesthetics, dentistry, healthy living and weight management programs, and traditional Chinese medicine. All six operate under the same government license — under one medical and legal framework, not as separate rented rooms under a shared name.

The Six Specialties at Estethica Hospital Istanbul

Hair transplantation is the clinic's flagship specialty, with over 28,000 procedures completed. BIOHACTOUR coordinates two methods — Sapphire FUE and Multi Implanter DHI — at a fixed price regardless of graft count. The surgeon personally performs graft extraction and channel opening, while two licensed nurses handle implantation under his direct supervision. The aftercare protocol includes PRP therapy during the procedure and inhaled ozone therapy.

Plastic and reconstructive surgery is one of the clinic's broadest specialties: rhinoplasty, breast surgery, gynecomastia correction, abdominoplasty, liposuction, fat transfer, blepharoplasty, various lifting procedures (face, neck, brow, eyelid), cheek and chin contouring, and bariatric procedures (gastric sleeve and gastric bypass) for obesity treatment. Every procedure includes an individual consultation and full post-operative follow-up.

Dermatology and medical aesthetics covers fillers and botulinum toxin, non-surgical lifting methods, laser procedures (skin rejuvenation, removal of spider veins, pigmentation, and tattoos, hair removal), mesotherapy, HIFU, radiofrequency therapy, and general skin care.

Dentistry includes dental implants, smile design, zirconium and ceramic crowns, veneers, gum and root canal treatment, whitening, and orthodontics.

Healthy living and weight management covers dietitian consultations, weight-loss programs, detox procedures, lymphatic drainage, IV therapies, Turkish bath, and massages.

Traditional Chinese medicine — acupuncture, cupping therapy, moxibustion, and herbal therapy — rounds out the clinic's broader approach to health.

BIOHACTOUR coordinates travel and support across all six specialties at Estethica Hospital Istanbul, not hair transplantation alone.

The Person Behind the Clinic — Dr. Murat Akdoğan

Estethica Health Group is led by Dr. Murat Akdoğan, Chairman. In a conversation with BIOHACTOUR, he addressed one of the medical tourism industry's most persistent points of confusion — the difference between a government medical classification and commercial certifications that sometimes present themselves as equivalent.
