If your hair suddenly begins to fall, your self-confidence suffers greatly. Ultimately, thick and full hair is an essential feature of attractiveness for both men and women. If treatments and nutritional supplements don't help, styling products only temporarily hide the problem and other therapies fail, then hair transplantation offers a saving solution. Unfortunately, hair loss is still not considered a disease, so no health insurance company covers the costs and the patient has to pay for the treatment themselves. After comparing prices online, it quickly becomes clear: On average, a hair transplant in Turkey costs significantly less than a treatment in Germany. At the same time, Turkish clinics and surgeons are usually in no way inferior to their German colleagues. In the article we explain to you what you should pay attention to when having a hair transplant abroad, as well as what options are available for postoperative treatment and patient follow-up.
What you need to pay attention to when choosing a clinic
No matter whether in Germany or Turkey: the quality of a treatment depends on the experience of the surgeons and the medical team as well as on the modern equipment. So you can get high qualityHair Transplant Clinics in Turkeyrecognize:
1. You advise patients in detail, support them in organizing their arrival and departure, and book hotel rooms and flights. The specialists speak German or there is an interpreter on site. Renowned clinics also offer aftercare in Germany, where they work in close partnership with German doctors.
2. The transplant clinic is, ideally, certified by JCI. JCI is an abbreviation and stands for Joint Commission International. The globally recognized healthcare organization evaluates clinics and determines whether they meet healthcare quality standards.
3. The medical professionals – the doctor and the team – specialize in hair transplants, can provide meaningful references and have several years of experience.

Find out how many patients are treated per day. Ask the clinic staff to send you the contract by email. In the best case scenario, you can read reports from former patients and, if necessary, exchange ideas with them.
The gentle FUE technique for hair transplantation
In contrast to the majority of clinics in Europe, where hair transplants are usually carried out using the so-called FUT strip method, in Turkish clinics the minimally invasive method is usedFUE – Methodeused. The removal of individual follicles is gentle on the tissue and leaves no visible scars. To make follicle removal easier, the head is first shaved and the area that will donate the hair is marked. She is then numbed with local anesthesia and the follicles are removed using a special device. The insertion then takes place, whereby the microchannels are first opened using sapphire technology and then the follicles are precisely placed inside. The area with the transplanted hair is left uncovered to allow the skin to breathe. Two to three days after the hair transplant, the head is washed for the first time. After about ten days to two weeks, redness and sores are usually no longer visible. Over the next few months, the transplanted hair will begin to grow and results will be visible after 2 to 4 months. The right care plays a crucial role in the final result - the patient should strictly follow the doctors' recommendations.
