Common questions about Cosmedica Clinic
Is Cosmedica Clinic accredited?
ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management, ISO 10002:2018 Customer Satisfaction, ISO 27001:2013 Information Security, ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety and ISO 22716:2007 GMP Standard are self-reported by the clinic and not yet independently verified. Accreditation status can change — confirm it is current with the issuing body before booking.
Who performs procedures at Cosmedica Clinic?
The public record names Dr. Levent Acar (Founder and hair surgeon). Named clinicians in a record are not a guarantee of who treats you — ask which clinician will personally perform your procedure and get the answer in writing.
How much does treatment at Cosmedica Clinic cost?
The clinic has published an indicative price of from €2,550 (all-inclusive package figure on homepage; flagship 'DHI Sapphire' package €3,190; clinic site, Jul 2026). Treat this as a starting point, not a quote — your written quote will depend on your case and the exchange rate, so confirm the full price and exactly what it includes directly with the clinic.
What aftercare does Cosmedica Clinic provide?
The clinic's published routine aftercare is: Clinic states it provides detailed instructions and aftercare with a dedicated aftercare team; the all-inclusive package is stated to include hair-loss therapy, medication, care products and a 'hair power booster pack' for 4 months. Routine aftercare is only part of the picture — get the emergency pathway, complication responsibility and UK follow-up arrangements in writing too.
Where is Cosmedica Clinic and what does it offer?
Cosmedica Clinic is in Istanbul, Turkey. The profile covers Hair transplant. This is an independent research profile compiled from public sources — it is not a recommendation, and clinics cannot pay to change how they appear.
How does Medical Destinations choose which clinics to show?
We curate a small number of profiles rather than listing everyone, and we structure every profile the same way: accreditations, named clinicians, years operating, what a quote includes, aftercare arrangements and languages spoken. Where a trust signal is self-reported by the clinic and not yet independently verified, we say so. A listing is information to support your research — it is not a recommendation, and we do not rank clinics by who pays.
Will the NHS look after me if something goes wrong?
The NHS will treat you in an emergency, as it would for anyone. But it is not designed to provide routine follow-up or revision surgery for planned private treatment carried out abroad, and waiting times apply. This gap — between emergency care and the aftercare a planned procedure actually needs — is exactly why specialist insurance for treatment abroad exists.
Is anything on this site medical advice?
No. Medical Destinations is a research tool. We help you understand options, compare visible trust signals and find specialist insurance — we are not clinicians, and nothing here replaces a consultation with your GP or a qualified specialist. Whether a procedure is right for you is a clinical question; please take it to a clinician.
