Introduction

Tamin is 30 years old. He sent an inquiry to MediGence as he was looking for hair transplantation options in Turkey but had no idea where to go. One of the members of the Patient Care team contacted him to know more about him and what actually he is looking for.

During the discussion, the team got to know that Tamin was looking forward to a specific technique – the Pen Choi technique. He was not sure about his option and had a thorough discussion with the team at MediGence to be able to better understand which technique would be the best for him.

The team asked Tamin to share a few of the photographs of his scalp for reference.

Treatment Decision

As soon as he shared the photographs, the team shared it with some of the best JCI-certified hospitals that offer hair transplantation in Turkey. After a discussion with the hospitals approached, it was realized that FUE was the best technology that can be used in Tamin’s case.

Tamin was explained about the feedback from the specialists and why the doctors are recommending FUE to him over the Pen Choi technique. He had certain apprehensions about the procedure, recovery, scarring, and aftercare, which was thoroughly explained to him.

A comprehensive treatment plan was shared with Tamim with package cost from three different JCI-certified hospitals in Turkey. The details of what all is included and excluded in the package were shared with him in details. Some of the facilities included for him in the package included first free hair wash, blood tests, all local transfers, hair care education, complimentary lunch on the procedure day, printed aftercare instructions, accommodation in a 4-star hotel for two days (including breakfast), free shampoo, and prescribed medications.

He selected Medicana International Hospital in Istanbul for the procedure. Since Tamim did not require a visa to travel to Turkey from Morocco, he directly booked his tickets and sent a copy of it to the team at MediGence.

The Patient Care team shared a copy of the tickets with the hospital so that they can arrange Tamim’s pick up from the airport on the day of his arrival.
