What is the cost of a Turkish hair transplant ?

The price of turkish hair transplant is one of the most frequently asked questions among Internet users who are thinking of undergoing the definitive treatment against baldness. When a person searches on Google: “hair transplant price in Turkey” many options appear with a wide range of prices. Some of the options are very expensive while others offer ridiculous prices, even too cheap, which makes one doubt the quality of hair treatment in Turkey. The factors mentioned above are what make the price of hair transplant much lower in Turkey than other countries. Now, we listed the factors affecting prices in Turkey.

How is the cost of turkish hair transplant calculated?

To calculate the price of hair implantation in Turkey there are 5 main factors. We are going to explain them so that you can better understand what you are going to pay for a hair transplant and hair treatment in Istanbul.

• The cost of turkish hair transplant based on the method

The hair transplant method in Turkey can be FUT, FUE, Sapphire FUE, DHI and Sapphire DHI. The most used method is usually the FUE Hair Transplant, which has made the FUT method obsolete. The FUE transplant is the most used for hair grafting in Turkey because the results achieved are totally natural and the application is easier than with the FUT method. Even so, most of the offers found on the Internet are with the FUT hair transplant. There is also the DHI (Direct Graft Implantation) hair transplant, with which the prices are a little higher since more expensive instruments are needed to carry out the operation. Thus, the cost of hair transplantation in Turkey may vary depending on the method or technique used since there is a difference in the medical instruments used in each of them.

• The cost of  turkish hair transplant based on number of grafts

The number of grafts is a factor that creates a huge price difference for hair transplantation in Turkey and in other countries. In Turkey, most clinics offer a maximum number of grafts in one session with a fixed price. However, in countries like the United Kingdom, USA or Latin America clinics calculate the price of hair transplant based on the number of grafts to be transplanted. There is really no reason why you should pay for grafts, as the instruments will vary depending on the transplant method. In this case, if you need to transplant more hair, you will have to pay more. There is no difference in the instruments or how the treatment is performed in Turkey or in Europe, only the price. With Dr. Fatih Köroğlu the priority is patient satisfaction, we want to offer the best results. Therefore, whether it is a hair transplant with 5,000 grafts or with 3,000 grafts in a single session, it will have a fixed price. It is the way of calculating the price that we use.

Hair transplant surgery is a very unique field of medicine. Becoming a great hair transplant doctor requires a lot of  dedication. A successful hair transplant requires that every aspect goes smoothly. As a patient, you should seriously consider many features. As it is known, hair transplant is a surgical procedure and the persons authorized to perform the surgical procedures are doctors or it is performed under the supervision of a doctor. However, in most clinics or hospitals in Turkey, hair transplant is performed by non-doctors or medical staff . This is extremely risky and dangerous. These people sometimes introduce themselves as doctors and sometimes as hair transplant specialists (trichologists). This procedure is prohibited in almost all countries, except for doctors, but this situation is tolerated in Turkey. So it should be well researched before coming to Turkey.

• The cost of turkish hair transplant based on the quality of the service

The quality of the service must be the most important factor for those who want to undergo a hair transplantation in Turkey. There are always bad apples in all guilds and that of aesthetic treatments is no exception.

When you book with one of these companies, you arrive in Turkey and find yourself in an apartment block where unhygienic hair transplants are performed with inexperienced staff. One can imagine how horrible it is to find yourself in this situation. It is very important to search and find out; In addition to making sure that the clinic is legal and accredited by the MoH (Ministry of Health) and that the operation will be carried out under hygienic facilities and with everything necessary, in addition to having experienced surgeons. This naturally increases the cost of the hair transplant.

Even so, the price of hair transplant is more affordable than other countries. First of all, accommodation is necessary. We book hotels for patients. The quality of these (4 or 5 stars) is a factor that increases or decreases the price of hair transplantation in Turkey. Then, transfers to and from the airport, hotel and hospital must be added.
