Elithair (Elit Clinic)
Verification pending: less of the axis weight is sourced than the threshold requires, so no score is published yet.
Status: verification pending · last checked 29 August 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.

Score ceilings
- Outcome guarantee or ‘100% safe’-class statement — ceiling 65/100The clinic's own page https://elithair.com/hair-transplant-turkey/ (en, 2026-08-29) states: “In addition, we provide a 20-year guarantee on the transplanted hair follicles.”. Under this methodology an outcome guarantee caps the score at 65.[site3]
Ceilings are applied only from verified-false findings with the exact quote or register entry cited. The clinic has a right of reply; a statement with a source changes the data, a statement without one is shown next to it.
