Istanbul, the ancient city that has bedazzled the world with its culture, architecture, and cuisine; is receiving attention for something far from history and geography. The Eurasian archaic city has become the world’s attraction for medical tourism and particularly hair transplants. Many factors have contributed to this grand success, but below we will discuss the most influential three

1- Affordability of hair transplants

Hair transplants in Turkey are only a fraction of what it would cost abroad. The cutting-edge FUE is financially inaccessible for hundreds across the Uk and Europe, causing them to resort to FUT hair transplants. And while FUT may do the job, it leaves a linear scar on the scalp and a possibility of permanent nerve damage in the area. Yet regardless of the side effects, many willingly undergo the procedure to escape the depression that hair loss causes. Medical tourism provides an alternative route to those struggling with hair loss and financial troubles to receive high-quality medical care at affordable costs.

2- A wide selection of hair transplant centres to choose from

As the hair transplant capital of the world, many centres were established exclusively for the purpose of meeting the ever-growing demand for the procedure. The aim of every hair transplant centre is to excel and shadow their competitors. With a mutual aim and hundreds of hair transplant centres competing, the rivalry is very tense and pushes the boundaries of technology in the field of hair transplants. Several technologies and innovations are emerging to revolutionize the industry and make the process all the more efficient.

In addition to cutting edge technologies, most hair transplant centres provide services solely for the comfort of international patients. From airport pick up to interpreters and private transportation, every detail is thought out to make the patient’s stay away from home as tranquil as possible.

3- The culture

The Eurasian country has a remarkable Ottoman culture with a twist of European, and nothing less than extraordinary comes from such a combination. With monuments and landmarks to visit such as the church turned mosque Hagia Sophia, and underground bazaars stocked with spices, herbs and Turkish delight, the activities one that could perform are endless. Thankfully, hair transplants are quick-recovery procedures which means all you have to do is cover your head from direct sunlight and roam around the archaic streets of the city.

In closing

Medical tourism a concept generally gaining approval and popularity from the public. Yet Turkey managed to overshadow many countries to be the number one go-to spot for hair transplantation. The culture, cuisine, and activities that hair transplant patients could perform post-surgery are limitless. In addition, of course to the affordability of the procedure in comparison to other countries. The important thing that patients should note is that although hair transplants are quick-recovery procedures, patients should cover their scalp when sightseeing around the time-worn streets.
