How Much Does a Hair Transplant in Turkey Cost?

Turkey is one of the top five medical tourism destinations on the planet right now, with one of its most important components being the Hair Transplant procedure. Hundreds of hair transplants are performed in the country every day. Thanks to its highly-skilled doctors, top-notch equipment, and ultra-hygienic clinics, the country has become the premier destination for those who want to restore their head of hair to its former glory. It’s not uncommon to walk the streets of Istanbul and see dozens of men wandering around with the same head bandages on!

Turkey is particularly well known for its Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplantation method. In fact, Turkey is considered one of the pioneers of this technique. Although FUE takes 3-4 hours to complete, it is the preferred method now because the final result is much more natural-looking than other methods, such as Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT). The FUT method is known to leave a linear scar at the back of the head, while FUE does not leave any noticeable scarring.
