Why undergo a hair transplant in Istanbul?
Medical tourism in Türkiye has experienced a major boom in recent years. Turkey is a popular vacation destination, but millions of tourists travel there not just for sightseeing, but also for advanced, life-changing cosmetic surgery treatments.
But why Turkey in particular?
In a nutshell, it all comes down to how the medical industry is regulated. The Turkish Ministry of Health enforces strict standards that both public and private clinics as well as medical professionals must adhere to. All clinics must meet the highest international standards, provide an excellent patient experience, and ensure maximum patient health.
Clinics undergo regular inspections and all doctors go through years of training and skill building so they can obtain the necessary permits and licenses to start working in the medical industry.
All this has turned Turkey into a real hub for medical tourism. It also doesn’t hurt that the country offers comprehensive visa support for all medical tourists looking to schedule medical or cosmetic treatments in the country.
How to Choose a Clinic
The country has certainly earned a reputation as one of the best places to undergo hair transplant surgery, but that doesn’t mean you should just walk into any hair transplant clinic in Turkey that offers the maximum number of hair transplants.
Thorough research remains essential to finding the best quality hair transplant clinic in Turkey that will leave you satisfied with the results.
Although this surgery is generally considered safe and has a quick recovery, inexperienced surgeons may create the wrong hairline for facial features or place the transplanted hair at the wrong angle relative to the natural hairstyle. You may end up making a mistake that will ultimately affect your appearance, such as inserting a

Difference in prices between UK clinics and Turkish clinics
In the UK, advanced hair transplants can cost upwards of £30,000, depending on the condition of the donor area and the number of grafts required for the procedure. Considering the high cost of surgery in the UK, it is easy to imagine that the cost of surgery in Turkey would be even higher with the addition of travel and accommodation costs. But that’s not the case.
Lower costs of living and currency devaluations mean the same surgery can be up to 90% cheaper with state-of-the-art tools and equipment and experienced surgeons.
Prices vary depending on the condition of the donor and recipient site, the exact hair transplant technique used and the number of follicular units that need to be transplanted, but the average cost remains around £3,000 to £4,000.
Additionally, clinics like Hair of Istanbul also offer comprehensive hair transplant packages that further reduce the price. The package includes hotel accommodation, transportation from the airport to the hotel and clinic, pre- and post-operative medicines, lotions, and shampoos, as well as pre- and post-operative translation services and free consultation.
The only additional cost is airfare.

Hair transplant services at top clinics in Türkiye
Different clinics have different approaches to hair transplant surgery. For example, at Hair of Istanbul, you can get her FUE hair transplant or DHI hair transplant available for head hair and beard hair.
FUE Hair Transplant Turkey is an advanced surgery that is perfect for people with widespread hair loss that affects large areas of the head. The surgeon first removes individual hair follicles from the donor area and makes a small incision in the recipient area to create space for the hair to be transplanted. Finally, insert the hair follicle into the incision and bandage everything to ensure it stays in place.
The DHI procedure does not require any incisions. After removing the follicles from the donor area, the surgeon inserts them into a special Chopen tool. The Choi Pen simultaneously creates space in the recipient area and inserts the hair follicle in a new position.
The DHI approach is recommended when increasing hair thickness in small areas of the head.
