How Jelan Clinic works with patients travelling from the United States and Canada for a hair transplant: remote assessment of the donor area, a written plan, the journey, and follow-up that continues after you return home.
Can I have a hair transplant in Istanbul if I live in the United States or Canada?
Yes — the process begins with a remote assessment. You send clear photographs and your medical history, our specialised medical team reviews the donor area and your case, and you receive a written plan before you arrange any travel. Our specialised medical team decides whether a transplant is suitable and how many sessions your case may need.
How Jelan Clinic handles a hair transplant enquiry
Whether a transplant is suitable, how many sessions may be needed, and which technique is appropriate are decided by our specialised medical team after reviewing your photographs and history — not by the coordinating team.
You receive the programme in writing — what it includes and what it does not, and the expected length of stay — before you book anything.
Some cases need more than one session. Our specialised medical team tells you what your case requires, and it is stated in the plan rather than discovered later.
The follow-up channel stays open after you fly home, with reviews arranged as our specialised medical team directs — including across the time difference.
A specialised medical team, per procedure
At Jelan Clinic, each cosmetic procedure is handled by a medical team specialised in that procedure. Our specialised medical team assesses your case and makes every medical decision, and your written plan sets out who is responsible for your file.
Planning the journey
The assessment begins from your home country, so you know the medical position before you arrange travel.
No return date is agreed before your condition is stable after the session.
Staying with a companion can be arranged depending on the agreed programme; details are confirmed in writing.
Treatment abroad is generally not covered by domestic health arrangements. Confirm your own position with your insurer, and check entry requirements with the official authorities. We do not provide insurance or visa advice.
