CLINIC HISTORY
Swedish-owned and operated, IdealofMeD was founded with the goal of combining high-quality healthcare with genuine patient care, safety, and a strong focus on longevity and long-term well-being.
Over the years, IdealofMeD has grown into an internationally recognized medical brand specializing in hair transplantation, longevity medicine, aesthetic medicine, and patient-centered treatments designed to deliver natural and long-lasting results.
Ideal of MeD is part of the Medinor Group, a company backed and led by a prestigious group of Swedish investors (including AgeBackCo). The company’s main shareholders are Cem Arel and Martin Lorentzon, renowned for revolutionizing the worlds of technology and music as co-founder of Spotify. This strong Swedish entrepreneurial foundation ensures the clinic maintains the highest standards of innovation and reliability.
Although it also operates in Stockholm, Sweden, all hair transplant surgical procedures are performed at its exclusive medical center in Istanbul, dedicated to hair loss surgery and advanced aesthetic treatments, thus ensuring patients receive care in a highly professional, modern, and fully certified medical environment.
The clinic is certified and licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health, both as a general medical clinic and, specifically, for its hair transplant department. Additionally, IdealofMeD holds official certification for international medical tourism activities.
The clinic is also recognized by the Ministry of Health as a certified training center for hair loss treatment, with the qualifications and authorization to train medical professionals from around the world in modern hair transplant techniques and practices.
Since its founding, IdealofMeD has chosen to focus on the synergy between highly experienced physicians, cutting-edge medical technologies, modern facilities, and highly personalized treatment planning, rejecting the high-volume clinic model. This philosophy allows the clinic to maintain a strong emphasis on quality, exclusivity, patient safety, and individualized care.
Its medical philosophy has been shaped by highly experienced physicians, including Dr. Devrim Demirel and Dr. Muzaffer Akkaya, whose expertise in surgery, aesthetics, longevity-oriented care, and patient management has helped solidify the clinic’s reputation for natural-looking results, Scandinavian healthcare standards, discretion, and safety.
The physicians involved in hair transplant procedures are certified by the Ministry of Health in Turkey.
In addition, they hold specific licenses approved by the Ministry to perform hair restoration surgery procedures and are registered members of the ISHRS (International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery) in the United States, a globally recognized association.
Today, IdealofMeD continues to welcome patients from around the world, maintaining a focus on advanced hair restoration surgery, longevity medicine, aesthetic medicine, international medical standards, transparency, and long-term satisfaction for patients who travel internationally to receive treatment.
IdealofMeD offers a wide range of state-of-the-art hair transplant procedures, including Sapphire FUE, DHI (Direct Hair Implantation), Ideal Combination Surgery, and customized hair loss treatment techniques tailored to each patient’s individual needs and long-term goals.
In addition to the surgical procedures themselves, IdealofMeD offers comprehensive pre- and post-operative care designed to promote healing, improve graft survival, and contribute to natural, long-lasting results.
By combining advanced medical techniques, personalized treatment planning, modern technologies, and a strong focus on patient safety and longevity, the clinic is now recognized as one of Turkey’s most exclusive medical centers specializing in hair transplantation and advanced hair loss treatment services.
