Medical tourists are increasingly choosing Turkey for affordable hair transplants in Istanbul, where costs are significantly lower than in countries like the US.
Hair transplantation is a surgical technique that involves moving hair follicles from one part of the body, known as the "donor site," to a bald or balding part of the body, known as the "recipient site." Primarily used to treat baldness, hair transplantation can also restore beard hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, and chest hair and fill in scars caused by accidents or surgery.

Types of Hair Transplant Methods
Hair Transplant can be done in multiple ways. Some of the most common methods that can be used for your treatment are mentioned below.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) - The first type and the oldest method for hair transplant that can be used for your treatment is this. During this procedure, the surgeon will take out a small piece of your skin from the back of your head. This skin will contain many hair follicles that will be taken out of the skin piece and transplanted back into your head individually. This method can cost you around $2,200 to $2,500 in Istanbul.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) - This is a newer method that requires the surgeon to extract the hair follicles from your head directly. The extracted follicles will be transplanted to a different region of your head that has experienced severe hair loss. This procedure in Istanbul will cost you around $2,500 to $3,000.
