Medical Tourism and Hair Transplant in Turkey

Why do people choose Turkey for hair transplant?

Thailand, the Maldives, South Africa, or the USA are all options. The locations where hair transplants can be done sound more like traditional vacation spots. But if you want a hair transplant, you don’t need to travel halfway across the globe. Other European nations and abroad also provide such procedures at reasonable costs.

When it comes to hair transplants in particular, Turkey is regarded as a leader in medical tourism. Numerous people travel to the nation on the Bosporus every day to have their bald spots on their heads restored. In the meanwhile, hair transplant metropolises have emerged in Ankara, Istanbul, and Izmir.

The greatest clinics and physicians may be found there now for a good reason: even in the early days, when the first hair transplants were performed, Turkey was the site of groundbreaking research in this sector.

These clinics constantly employ the most cutting-edge procedures and techniques; for instance, only the cutting-edge FUE method and its subsequent improvements are used for hair transplantation. The institutes in Turkey believe that the FUT method is completely out of date, despite the fact that it is frequently still employed in Germany.

What is the FUE hair transplant Method?

The grafts, or follicles where the hair roots are located, are extracted one at a time from the donor area, which was previously given local anesthesia, during a FUE hair transplant – FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction.

On the back of the head, between the ears, is where the donor site is placed. These follicles are unique in that they are resistant to DHT, which is the key factor in hereditary hair loss. The recipient area’s bald areas are subsequently filled in by reintroducing the excised grafts there.

The DHI Sapphire hair transplantation and the Sapphire hair transplantation are two additional improvements of this procedure. Of course, the Cosmedica Clinic also offers these two techniques.

Here, the process is described in a very abbreviated manner. By the way, the FUE technique can be used to transplant hair other than head hair. Another option is to have your beard or brows hair transplanted.

Why the favourable cost for hair transplant in Turkey

Turkey is far less expensive than Germany for a hair transplant. What gives, though? Not because the medical professionals—doctors, nurses, and other clinic staff—are routinely underpaid. Turkey has substantially lower cost of living than other countries.

Rent, food, gasoline, and even prescription drugs are all more cheaper there. This explains why wages are far lower here than they are in the US or the UK.

On the other side, Turkey’s economy heavily depends on medical tourism. The level of competition among the various clinics is correspondingly strong. By the way, you become aware of this the moment you go into one of the clinics.

Even in the entry area, many of them resemble a five-star hotel rather than a hospital. The team is also very motivated to make the patient’s stay as enjoyable as possible. Turkey is known for its legendary hospitality, and for good reason!

That benefits the customer without sacrificing quality. If you choose to have such a medical operation in Turkey, there is absolutely no need for concern. Normal language boundaries do not pose a difficulty either. Every clinic has translators on staff who are available every minute to respond to patients’ inquiries.
