Furthermore, the interest and investment of the National Government in the health sector increased over the past two decades, promoting activities for health tourism.

What Affects the Hair Transplant Cost in Turkey
There are hundreds of clinics in Istanbul, and most of them are offering all-inclusive packages that include a complete set of services. Generally, Turkish clinics provide the following services:
Transfers airport/hotel/clinic Accommodation Personal Interpreter Hair transplant operation Post-operation service.
The Dr. Serkan Aygin Clinic offers a wide variety of services tailor-made to each client’s needs. The hair transplant surgeons specialize in performing both DHI and Sapphire FUE hair transplants. These two methods offer a quicker recovery to patients, as well as stunning long-term results.
Of course, the price list may differ based on the technique used and the number of sessions required by the patient (based on their bald patterns).
DHI
In the DHI transplant, the extracted follicles are directly inserted in the Choi implanter pen and placed under the skin without making incisions, minimizing the trauma and bleeding, while ensuring a faster recovery time.
However, the DHI cost per graft is more expensive compared to other techniques, due to the intensity of efforts and expertise required for a successful result.
Sapphire FUE
Thanks to the Sapphire blades’ sharpness and antimicrobial component, the risk of complications such as scalp damage tissue, scarring, or infections are diminished. This innovative technic ensures higher density for patients with predominant hair loss, giving them a natural hair look.
The cost of a Sapphire FUE hair transplant may vary depending on the country where the operation is performed, the experience of the doctors, the hair transplant technique, and the number of sessions (based on the baldness pattern).
