Financially savvy hair loss sufferers are discovering that a hair transplant in Turkey offers more advanced technologies than in the UK, and at unbeatable value. 

Cosmedica Clinic’s standard hair transplant Turkey cost package is the micro DHI Sapphire, which comes in at €2990 for any procedure up to 3500 grafts.  The same number of grafts costs £7,399 at a well-known British clinic.

Not only is Cosmedica much cheaper than its competitors in Britain, but the prices offered are part of a hair transplant package deal, which includes:

  • Micro DHI Sapphire technology
  • Operation personally planned, consulted, and carried out by the fluent English-speaking Dr. Levent Acar 
  • Hotel accommodation for the duration of the patient’s stay in Istanbul
  • Sapphire blade incisions
  • Needle free anaesthesia
  • Transfers between airport, hotel, and clinic
  • A full aftercare package including an assistance hotline and essential scalp care in the days after the operation.
  • A personal companion and interpreter to ease the patient’s stay in Istanbul
  • A hair power booster pack for 6 months
  • Contact with Cosmedica’s UK dedicated service partner, Mr. Mike Smith

Cosmedica Clinic’s lead doctor and founder, Dr. Levent Acar, is one of the world’s most respected hair transplant surgeons and has pioneered the adoption of many technologies into the Turkish market. 

The best quality on the market

The best quality hair transplant clinics in Turkey offer the best medical standards in the world. The intense competition between clinics in Istanbul has meant that those at the top of the market offer the best hair transplantation methods available.

There are clinics in Turkey which are cheaper than Cosmedica. However, they cannot offer the same personalised treatment, comprehensive aftercare package, or the same level of technological expertise which gives the maximum possible chance of a positive outcome to the hair transplant.

Cosmedica Clinic is proud of the outstanding hair transplant Turkey results we achieve with our patients. Our before and after photos speak for themselves.

Which techniques are used for hair transplants in Turkey?

Most clinics mainly use the modern FUE procedure: Follicular Unit Extraction. In an FUE hair transplant, the hair grafts – meaning the hairs, the roots and surrounding tissue – are removed individually, medically prepared, and then transplanted into the new area of the scalp.

First, the hair in the donor area is shaved, then the grafts are removed individually. In the recipient area, the surgeon creates channels with a hollow and implants the groups of hair follicles. 

The procedure takes place under local anaesthesia and allows the patient to talk to the staff, read or even watch television.

The Cosmedica Clinic in Istanbul specialises in the Micro Sapphire DHI method. This is a combination of the FUE and DHI technique. Instead of a normal scalpel, the lead surgeon at Cosmedica, Dr. Levent Acar, uses a particularly small and thin one made of the precious stone sapphire. 

The grafts are removed with a specialized motorized FUE punch device. They are then inserted with a special DHI implanter pen in the previously opened hair channels. The implanter pen gives the hair grafts complete protection during transfer.

Such specialised tools allow for a 99% graft success rate. The sapphire tools make finer incisions which gives a faster healing process. 

The implanter pen gives the grafts total protection, and the time that the follicles are outside the body is minimised.

Such is the precision and graft success rate allowed by the Micro Sapphire DHI method that Dr. Acar can even set individual hairs into the hairline for a completely convincing natural look.

Hair Transplant Turkey Costs – what do I need to consider?

The full hair transplant cost is not just the transplant itself, but also includes things like travel, accommodation, and aftercare. Most clinics in the UK charge per graft, so the more grafts, the more expensive.

Many doctors in Turkey nowadays offer hair transplant packages. These typically include hotel stays, aftercare, VIP transfer from the airport and hotel, and a personalised consultation. However, travel is usually not included, so you need to factor that in as well. 

However, even with all the travel costs, top quality hair transplant cost in Turkey remains much cheaper than in the UK. Istanbul is one of the world’s best-connected cities.

The best clinics will offer aftercare solutions which involve hair washing for the first time a few days after the operation. Many patients take the opportunity for a short holiday in Istanbul, one of the world’s great historical cities.

Why are hair transplants cheaper in Turkey?

Low prices for medical services in Turkey are possible because the general cost of living is much lower. This includes rents and electricity costs, transfer costs and more, so that even world class clinics have much lower overheads than in the UK.

All in all, a good estimation is that when all costs are considered, an affordable hair transplant in Turkey costs only about half as much as in the UK. 

The Micro Sapphire DHI hair transplant method is only available in very few clinics around the world. This pioneering hair transplant procedure is favoured by the rich and famous as it offers superior success rates and quicker healing.

Affordable Micro Sapphire DHI

Cosmedica Clinic’s Micro Sapphire DHI is favoured by the rich and famous, such as TV personality Calum Best, actor Ricky Whittle, Spanish model Jesus Palacios, and German World Cup-winning football star Andreas Brehme.

However, a high quality hair transplant is not just for celebrities. The affordable prices offered in Istanbul make a full head of hair an attainable goal for everyone.
