Beyond Graft Counts: Hazem Altal’s Vision for Patient-Centred Hair Transplantation in Turkey
Hair transplantation in Turkey has become a global phenomenon, with thousands of patients flying to Istanbul each year in search of fuller hair and renewed confidence. Yet behind the numbers lies a deeper question: Is success measured by graft counts, or by the patient’s long-term satisfaction and overall experience?
For Hazem Altal, Founder and CEO of UniquEra Clinic, the answer is clear. “The industry talks too much about numbers. Five thousand grafts. Six thousand grafts. Patients are told bigger is better. But that is misleading. A natural, lasting hairline is not about how many follicles we move. It is about planning, artistry, and a personalised approach. That is what makes the difference.”
Moving Beyond the Numbers
The rise of low-cost clinics has created a competitive race focused almost entirely on graft counts. This often results in procedures that are rushed, poorly planned, or overly aggressive. Patients may end up with unnatural hairlines, patchy density, or donor area damage that cannot be reversed.
UniquEra has taken a different path. “We don’t charge per graft,” Hazem emphasises. “Our promise is not about giving you the highest number possible. Our promise is to give you a result you will thank us for years later. That requires patience, precision, and honesty.”
By limiting the number of procedures performed each day, UniquEra ensures that every case receives the full focus of an experienced team. This includes detailed consultation, personalised design of the hairline, and the careful distribution of grafts to create a natural look that ages gracefully.
The UniquEra Way
Hair restoration at UniquEra is not seen as a one-time medical service, but as a life-changing journey. Patients are guided by trained medical consultants who understand both the science of transplantation and the human side of transformation.
The clinic operates only in Ministry of Health licensed facilities, with strict hygiene standards and careful handling of every graft. The surgical team has worked together for years and has carried out more than 31,000+ successful procedures for patients from over 28 countries. This consistency has made UniquEra one of the most trusted names for hair transplantation in Turkey.
“Our workload is intentionally limited,” Hazem explains. “We do not believe in conveyor belt surgery. Patients are not numbers for us. Each one deserves the attention of a team that treats their case as unique.”
From Vision to Expertise
Hazem Altal’s career has always been built around people, trust, and international standards. Early on, he mastered the complexities of global logistics and patient travel, which gave him a unique perspective on the fast-growing world of medical tourism. But Hazem quickly saw that true excellence in healthcare required more than convenience – it demanded expertise, integrity, and genuine care. “I realised that many clinics were treating patients as transactions. That was not good enough. People travel across the world to put their trust in you. You cannot betray that trust,” he explains.
Determined to raise the bar, Hazem immersed himself in the field of aesthetic medicine. He attended surgeries, studied advanced techniques, and built close relationships with top medical experts. Over the years, he earned a reputation for designing complete patient journeys — from first consultation to final results — rooted in both medical precision and compassionate care.
This vision became the foundation of UniquEra, established in 2024 as an independent clinic dedicated to upholding world-class standards. Today, Hazem is recognised not just as a pioneer in medical tourism, but as a trusted healthcare leader whom patients and professionals alike turn to for excellence.
Global Patients, Lasting Impact
Today, UniquEra serves patients from the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and beyond. Its services include Sapphire FUE, DHI Choi-Pen, and Manual FUE, all tailored to patient needs rather than graft counts.
The clinic also offers VIP packages that cover every detail of the journey, from airport pickup in luxury vehicles to accommodation in five-star hotels and guided aftercare. This allows patients to focus entirely on their recovery and, when desired, enjoy Turkey as a travel destination.
Patient testimonials highlight not only medical results but also the warmth and professionalism of the team. Many describe the experience as one that exceeded their expectations, both in outcome and in personal care.
Setting a Higher Standard for Hair Transplantation in Turkey
Hazem believes UniquEra’s success lies in refusing to compromise on values. “Other clinics talk about the latest technology. That is important, but tools mean nothing without ethics and expertise. At UniquEra, we will never push patients into unnecessary grafts, nor will we promise impossible results. Transparency is part of our identity.”
The clinic’s reputation has been recognised internationally, including features in Bloomberg. Its referral rates remain among the highest in the industry, with patients recommending UniquEra to family and friends after experiencing the results themselves.
A Promise That Lasts
UniquEra also offers a lifetime guarantee that transplanted hair will not fall out, reflecting the clinic’s confidence in its methods. “Our patients do not just leave with new hair. They leave with restored confidence and a renewed presence in their lives,” Hazem says.
The guiding principle remains simple yet powerful: “You may forget the hotel, but you will never forget your hair.”
