Selected Editorial Coverage and Branded ContentMedia coverage
Topics for Interviews and ReportingTopics we can discuss
We are committed to full transparency and accurate, honest reporting. We offer journalists, newsrooms and content creators reliable information on the following topics:
Medical procedures & expertise
Background on how hair transplants work, FUE harvesting, DHI implantation and the factors used to assess treatment quality.
Quality assurance & oversight
Information on Turkish licensing and oversight, Elithair's authorisation as a training centre and how medical responsibilities are shared at each stage of treatment.
Market trends & context
Analysis of Istanbul's role as a global hub for medical tourism, trends in pricing and quality standards, and clear criteria for distinguishing reputable providers from questionable ones.
Facts, figures & transparency
Treatment statistics, patient satisfaction data and clear information on patient eligibility: for medical reasons, around 40 per cent of initial enquiries do not result in a procedure at our clinic.
Interviews & on-site access
Requests for interviews with Dr Abdulaziz Balwi, co-founder of Elithair and medical director of the clinic, and other members of the management team; opportunities to discuss access to patients for stories; and arrangements for filming at the Istanbul clinic. These are subject to availability, clinical commitments and consent requirements.
Please note: We share patient data only with the patient's explicit written consent. Our policy is not to make comparisons with competitors or other clinics.
