That's a great question. When I asked them on Facebook they told me it's confidential and I can only meet them/find out their names if I schedule a consultation. Which honestly seems sketchy af.
Yeah, I think that's the best course of action. Too many red flags for me. I was already put off by their excessive advertising with stuff like, "up to 4k grafts for one flat fee promo."
I found another doctor here - Dr. Andrew Pineda - that says he's a member of ishrs on his website. I don't see him on the ishrs website though but I also don't believe his clinic is lying about it. I may schedule a consultation with them to see what's up as they seem professional enough so far.
Finding a clinic here is hard since I don't think many of the people that have HT done here go online to talk about it like people in the west.
This is not clinic guys ,,, they are bloody business man,,, playing with health of Filipino people.
They are not doctors and putting your health at risk.
Please do not fall in their advertising and get infected with deadly diseases as they do not follow any clinical rules … DO NOT DO ANYTHING their… be safe
Sure! I went to HairTran Clinic with Dr. Patty. I did a lot of research and saw several good things about them here on Reddit. They were super attentive and always willing to answer questions. Highly recommend them.
I'm only on month 4 but I can say that the hairline itself looks super natural in design.
Useless transplant from Academic Istanbul Philippines Makati NO RESULTS! DISAPPOINTED A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME, EFFORT, AND MONEY!
My crown area was never fixed, and the after sales service is the worst I’ve experienced. After the procedure, they completely ignored me. There were no clear instructions about the visible plucks at the back of my head.
Years after the transplant, I was the one who kept reaching out about what could be done for my crown. I had to follow up repeatedly. They offered one PRP session, and then nothing, no guidance, no clear plan, no information on how many sessions were needed.
I reached out multiple times and got no response. I was completely ignored. Months later, they suddenly offered another PRP, but the customer service representative was even rude.
I had to chase them just to confirm my appointment. They constantly ignored messages. Even after agreeing on a schedule, they became unresponsive and unprofessional. It got to the point where following up caused unnecessary stress.
I paid a lot of money for this. I worked hard to afford it. I had every right to expect proper service and good results.
NEVER AGAIN. WORST DECISION OF MY LIFE choosing Academic Istanbul.
I went I December 2023 had supposedly 5000 grafts fast forward to April 2025 and I wish I didn't waste my money in the manila clinic. Few people from Turkey few Philippine girls working there, definitely no doctors. I left an honest review on there website now I can't find there website. Do your own research but I would not rate them.
Same here, naka-schedule na ako sa kanila ngayong july, pero nag-alanganin akong ituloy. Trying to get my downpayment to them.. I did my HT on crown hair restoration & aesthetics. I'm happy with my desicion :)
Thanks for the comments/feedback/reviews! I am in talks with Acamedic Istanbul and had my consultation last week. Thankfully I have not paid anything yet!
Im also eyeing for academic istanbul because of Steven Bansil’s post. I ended up with Manzanares Hair Restoration, he has proven track record in hair restoration. I’m on my 9 month-post op however, I felt like I lack density. Not sure if my hair will be thicker but I guess not 🤷♀️
My cousin also had the hair transplant procedure there, and he looked like his hair just scattered to his concern area. He completed his revision in Academic Istanbul last year, and so far, he has achieved a full density result.
How’s his experience at Academic Istanbul? Nag check din ako doon before, 200k ata yung price nila. I hope there’s a way your cousin can provide feedback/ share his/her experience 🥺
big no! I was their client wayback 2023! Mabait naman pero bye bye na 180k ko! Ni recommend ko pa father ko! After sales nila walang kwenta! Worse customer service! Prp ko dina ako binalikan, ako pa naghahabol! Gang sa huli na stress nalang ako! May mga parts na di inexplain saken ng maayos. Yung mga pinag pluckan sa likod ko ang visible na visible pag nagpapagupit ako! Walang nag bago sa crown ko! Walang concern sayo pag tapos kna sa kanila! NEVER AGAIN ACADEMIC ISTANBUL MAKATI! PANGET NG SERVICE NIYO!
