How Turkey became the top hair transplant destination for people from Europe and the USA?

Turkey has become the leading country for hair transplant operations, especially for people from Europe and the USA. In 2017 alone, the size of the Hair Transplant industry reached $2 billion in Turkey. There are a lot of people pouring to Turkey from all over the world for Hair Transplant operations and Europe and the USA are some of the biggest markets for Hair Transplant clinics in Turkey. Here is why:

1. 100’s of Successful Operations from the USA

Due to the influx of Americans and European peoples visiting Turkey for hair transplant procedures in recent years, there are already a lot of people sharing their experiences and referring more people to visit Turkey for hair transplants. You can read some of the comments of the patients visiting Dr.Erkam CAYMAZ Hair Upload Hair Clinic from the US, Canada, European Countries below and learn about their experience with Dr.Erkam CAYMAZ Hair Upload Hair Clinic.

2. Better prices, all-inclusive packages, no surprise bills (Pricing)

You know exactly how much you are going to pay thanks to our transparent pricing system. Our transparent, fixed price is €6000-€7500 including 3 days of 5-star hotel accommodation, transfers from/to airport, and medicine. The only thing you need to do is buy your flight ticket to Istanbul.

In the US or European Countries, the same procedure's cost may have a range between $15.000 and $25.000. However, it is almost impossible to learn how much an operation will cost even roughly before having the operation in US hospitals. So, instead of getting lost in complicated insurance protocols and hospital pricing systems in the US and worrying about the possibility of an overpriced bill, you can be sure about the amount you are going to pay in Turkey and you can enjoy your trip.

3. State of the art technology in Turkey

Maral employs Micro FUE (Micro Motor Powered Follicular Unit Extraction), the recent state-of-the-art technology in HT.  MicroFUE is a safe, reliable, and non-surgical minor procedure without any risk and we have 10 years of experience with MicroFUE.

Most Hair Transplant clinics in the US and European Countries prefer to transplant hair follicles with FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) procedure instead of FUE. FUT is an outdated procedure in HT sector, and the main disadvantages of this method are linear scarring in the donor area and a longer recovery period.

Last but not least, Turkey is one of the countries that have the highest number of JCI accredited hospitals. Also, our clinic located in JCI accredited hospital (Clinic)  Currently, Turkey has 47 JCI accredited hospitals (#1 in the world), which ensures high-quality standards.

4. Cheap flights

Also, airplane tickets to Turkey are quite reasonable, especially when booked early. Why is this so? This link may answer your question, but shortly, the government financial aid to airlines is forbidden in the US and the EU which creates a big advantage for the Middle East carriers to provide cheaper flights. The average price of a ticket to Istanbul is around $500 if it is booked a few months before the operation date.

Hair Transplant Pricing — Frequently Asked Questions

Expert Answers by Dr. Erkam Caymaz, Istanbul

How is the price of a hair transplant determined?
At Dr. Erkam Caymaz's clinic the price reflects the surgeon's time, the technique (Sapphire FUE or DHI), the graft count, and the all-inclusive elements (hotel, transfers, medications, aftercare kit). We do not price "per graft" with hidden multipliers — every patient receives a transparent fixed package after the consultation. Compare options on the price & packages page.
Why is Turkey so much more affordable than the US or UK?
A combination of lower operational costs, favourable exchange rates, and high-volume surgical expertise makes Turkey 60-70% more cost-effective without compromising medical quality. Hospital sterilisation, surgical materials, and the surgeon's training meet the same European standards used in Western clinics. See: Price Comparison and Price Table.
Should I choose the cheapest clinic in Turkey?
No. Suspiciously low quotes (under €1,500–2,000 all-inclusive) often signal a "hair mill" — high-volume clinics where technicians open channels and place grafts with minimal surgeon presence. At Dr. Caymaz Clinic, the surgeon personally performs the consultation, hairline design, and all channel-opening incisions. The remaining stages are handled by experienced senior surgical technicians under his direct, on-site supervision. The clinic accepts a maximum of 1–2 patients per day. Quality has a floor, and cutting below it means cutting corners on safety.
Are there any hidden costs after the procedure?
No. Your package is fixed and includes everything: surgery, hotel, transfers, post-op medications, shampoo and lotion kit, and lifetime virtual follow-up. The only optional add-ons are mesotherapy or PRP sessions, which are quoted separately if you choose to add them. Everything is itemised before booking during your consultation.
Do you offer payment plans?
Payment is made in cash at the clinic. Many international patients also use third-party medical financing options available in their home country. Our coordinator will walk you through all the details during consultation — pricing is fixed in writing before you travel.
