Procedures and techniques
The clinic lists hair transplant, FUE hair transplant, hair transplant for women, hairline design, beard transplant and mustache transplant among its services 2. Its own description of FUE frames it as extracting follicles one at a time and placing them "without any direct incision" 2. It describes hairline design as being planned around a patient's facial features and aesthetic expectations before the transplant 2. Per the clinic's FAQ, an FUE session typically runs 6 to 8 hours 2. Its stated candidate criteria are tolerating anaesthesia, having no health problems that would prevent the procedure, and being of legal age, with the clinic noting transplants are "generally performed on people over the age of 20-24" 2.
Booking and aftercare
The clinic offers an online consultation, describing it as a way to "plan your treatment process quickly, without leaving your home," though its site does not say whether the surgeon or a coordinator conducts these 2. For international patients it also advertises translator support and a VIP transfer service 2.
Credentials and memberships
The ISHRS Find-a-Doctor directory lists Dr. Pekiner as a Full Member, joined in 2016, with body hair transplantation, eyebrows, FUE and scar revision recorded as his procedures performed 3.

QueenNibz2 had a partial-shave FUE of 1,429 grafts with Dr. Pekiner in Ankara on August 29, 2025, paying $7,000 USD plus $1,500 in flights. Days after surgery she wrote 'Love Dr. Pekiner!', but by mid-September she posted that he is 'way too expensive for the quality of work you get'. She says an assistant or tech did all her extractions, he was out of town the day after surgery, she had no real post-op care, and the clinic stopped answering her messages. She reports a hairline higher and squarer than the approved design, with a section missed and bald temples, and says she needs a revision after waiting 6 months. She also says she loved how she was treated and found the clinic beautiful.

thecanadian37 booked Dr. Kaan Pekiner in Ankara and had 1,800 grafts (1,500 hairline, 300 crown) in June 2025 at 3.7 EUR/graft, about 6,660 EUR, as a roughly Norwood 2.5 patient. He posted updates from day 10 to one year, saying he was very pleased with the experience and was thrilled at 4 months, and at 7 months that Pekiner really knocked it out the park. His minor complaints: reaching the practice before booking was a hassle, he wished staff asked about pain more often, and at 7 months the central hairline could be thicker. At one year he calls it one of the best things he ever did.

Humble_Opening7959 had 4,150 FUE grafts (about 3,419 scalp plus 731 beard) with Dr Kaan Pekiner in Ankara on 31 August 2022, reporting payments of about 2.7 EUR per scalp graft and 2.8 EUR per beard graft (stated variously as roughly USD 11,500 to 12,500). He posted updates from day 8 through 2 years 6 months, calling the early results great, saying growth was strong with minimal shedding, and at 9 months noting the crown was still filling in and that a second procedure might be needed. At 30 months he wrote that he had "tremendous results", is happy with the current result and does not want to use more grafts, and credited Pekiner's refusal to overharvest the donor.

The user had a 1,318-graft procedure with Dr. Pekiner on 1 June 2024 (Ankara) to fill the temples and add density to the temple peaks, paying 3 euro per graft (shown as 3954 EUR) in one thread and $3.26 per graft (about $4,296) in another. Through 2024 they reported being happy with the hairline and donor, with shock loss and a few small bumps early on, and noted that communication was the business's worst trait and that Pekiner could be hard to reach. At 19 months they were very happy with the hairline shape and donor but felt the fine-haired temples looked sparse and see-through, and Pekiner did a free 627-graft touch-up in January 2026 (1,945 grafts in total). At 11 days after the touch-up they said the experience was great overall but they were judging the temple corners harshly, and expected to need another 6-9 months to judge.

EricDtravels had a 1,700-graft no-shave procedure with Dr. Pekiner in Ankara in 2025, paying 4.2 euros per graft (7,140 euro). They said it took about 2.5 months to get a first reply, but once the doctor reviewed the case things moved fast, and they got a cancellation slot with a three-week wait. They called it "a truly first class experience", with Pekiner involved in hairline design and graft placement. They reported some shedding at three months, less than expected. In their final six-month update they said they could not be happier with the results and highly recommend Dr. Pekiner.

Normal_Wrangler7960 had a two-day FUE of 2,070 grafts with Dr. Pekiner in November 2024 for 6,800 USD (travel not included, one PRP treatment included), after switching from a booking with Dr. Turan when a cancellation opened up. Healing at day 9 and one month went smoothly, with shedding from about week 3. At 5 months he said it was the "best decision ever", and at 6 months he said it made a big difference around the hairline while not being super noticeable otherwise. No complications are reported.

teddy1927 had an 811-graft repair/touch-up with Dr Pekiner in Ankara in December 2023, unshaven at 3.10 euro per graft (2,514.1 EUR paid), revising earlier work from another clinic. He said Pekiner did every part of the operation himself and that anyone booked with him had made the right choice. He found pre-op contact with the coordinator not the best, though everything ran smoothly once in Ankara. He posted updates at 6 and 24 months; in the 24-month thread two commenters called his donor area overharvested, which he said he had not really seen as he does not shave the sides low.

ExerciseOk1417 had 2,915 grafts with Dr. Pekiner in Turkey in 2025 for NW4 diffuse thinning, his second transplant after a 2020 U.S. one that he said produced virtually no noticeable difference. He paid 3.8 euros per graft (11,077 EUR total) and wrote that "There is not another surgeon in the world I would want than to work on me more than him." At almost nine months he said he was "pretty happy with it", with no grafts placed in the crown and a possible future crown transplant discussed.

He states Pekiner performs the transplant himself.

wantedvisuals, a 39-year-old man, had a 1,541-graft hairline procedure (FUE) with Dr Pekiner on 2 March 2024, paying just over $4,000 for bloodwork and surgery. During the procedure he called Pekiner "literally the best in the world" and the day-1 process "amazing". He then reported an infection, 10/10 pain, and pitting and ridging at the recipient sites, and said he was ignored by the clinic for the first two months. By 3 to 3.5 months he reported more direct communication from Pekiner, treatment with steroids and creams, and called it "a botched surgery" while still describing Pekiner as a very good surgeon; the pitting had not resolved in his last update.

gunbygang reports a 2,300-graft FUE hairline procedure with Dr. Kaan Pekiner in Ankara in June 2021, paying roughly $7,000 (an earlier post gives about 2.3-2.5 EUR per graft; hotel and transport included, flights separate), at around age 23. They posted updates from day 2 through 3 years. They were ecstatic early on and called him "an artist", but at the 2-year update said they were initially unsatisfied until about the one-year mark, and report some new mid-scalp and crown thinning with a second transplant planned. They describe no complications and chose not to stay on finasteride because of side effects.
