Overview

Emphair, which has now evolved into EMPCLINICS, was founded in 2007 by Yücel Muratoğlu on Bağdat Avenue in Istanbul, Turkey. Initially focusing on hair transplantation, the clinic has since expanded its services to include dental, men's health, and aesthetic treatments under the EMPESTHETIC, EMPMEN, and EMPDENT brands. The clinic prides itself on prioritizing patient and employee satisfaction, integrating the latest sectoral innovations, and adhering to strong ethical values. This commitment to quality and patient-centric care has enabled EMPCLINICS to become one of Turkey's leading aesthetic and health institutions, performing a high volume of operations.

EMPCLINICS aims to provide healthcare services at international standards, with a team of experienced physicians and expert healthcare professionals. The clinic is actively involved in qualified health tourism, attracting patients from around the world. For Canadians considering a hair transplant abroad, EMPCLINICS has become an increasingly popular choice. Their mission is to help people feel better about themselves, and their vision is to be a globally leading, people-centered organization that embraces international quality standards and pioneers industry development. The clinic emphasizes patient safety, health, and satisfaction as its core tenets.

The clinic's facilities are described as modern and clean by patients. They offer a range of hair transplant techniques, including FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), DHI (Direct Hair Implantation), and Long Hair FUE. They also provide specialized services like hair transplants for women, stem cell-assisted hair transplantation, needle-free (painless) hair transplants, and hair mesotherapy. This variety of techniques allows them to tailor the procedure to each patient's specific needs, hair type, and desired outcome.

Emphair's approach is to provide a comprehensive and transparent experience for their patients. From the initial online consultation to the post-operative care, they aim to keep patients well-informed and comfortable. The clinic's international reputation is bolstered by numerous positive online reviews and testimonials, highlighting the professionalism of the staff, the quality of the results, and the excellent patient care. They have a significant international clientele, with many patients travelling from Europe, the Middle East, and North America for treatment.

What makes Emphair unique is its evolution from a specialized hair transplant clinic to a multi-disciplinary health and aesthetics institution under the EMPCLINICS umbrella. This allows them to offer a more holistic approach to patient care. Their focus on health tourism is also a key aspect of their business, with services tailored to international patients, including accommodation and transportation arrangements. The clinic's long-standing presence in the industry, since 2007, also speaks to its experience and stability.

Techniques Offered

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)

This is the most common method used at the clinic. It involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area (usually the nape of the neck) using a micro-motor and transplanting them to the balding areas. The clinic highlights that this method is scar-free and offers a high success rate with natural-looking results.

DHI (Direct Hair Implantation)

In this technique, the extracted hair follicles are loaded into a special pen-like instrument called a Choi pen and then directly implanted into the recipient area. This method allows for precise control over the angle, depth, and direction of the implanted hair, which can lead to a more natural-looking result.

Long Hair FUE

This is a specialized FUE technique where the hair is transplanted without shaving the donor or recipient areas. This is particularly suitable for patients who do not want to cut their hair for the procedure, such as women or men with long hair. It allows for a quicker return to daily life without a noticeable change in hairstyle.

Stem Cell Assisted Hair Transplantation

The clinic also offers stem cell-assisted hair transplantation. This technique involves enriching the transplanted hair follicles with the patient's own stem cells, which is believed to improve the survival rate of the grafts and promote faster healing and hair growth.

Needle-Free Hair Transplant (Painless)

Emphair provides a needle-free anesthesia option for patients who are anxious about needles. This method uses a special device to deliver the anesthetic agent into the scalp using high pressure, making the procedure more comfortable.
