Hair of Istanbul Issues Guide to Comparing Hair Transplant Packages in Türkiye

The Istanbul clinic outlines what international patients should confirm before comparing prices or booking treatment abroad

ISTANBUL, TURKEY, August 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Most people considering a hair transplant in Türkiye begin their search from another country, comparing quotations that may appear similar but cover different services. Hair of Istanbul, a hair restoration clinic operating in Bakırköy, Istanbul since 2013, has published a practical overview of what international patients should examine before comparing packages or booking travel.

A hair transplant quotation can only be compared fairly with another when both cover the same scope of treatment and support.

Hair of Istanbul's current scalp hair transplant packages range from €4,000 to €5,000, depending on the estimated graft requirement. Specialised procedures, including beard, eyebrow, scar and revision transplantation, are priced separately. The final treatment plan and fee are confirmed after the patient's case has been assessed.

The clinic's scalp hair transplant packages include pre-operative blood tests, an ECG and medical assessment; the hair transplant procedure using the clinically appropriate implantation method; medication; one PRP session; aftercare products; accommodation; airport and clinic transfers; the first wash; aftercare instructions; and follow-up support.

International patients should also request written confirmation of anything that is not included. Depending on the provider and package, exclusions may include flights, additional accommodation, meals, optional treatments and any further procedure that may be required in the future.

Hair of Istanbul considers clearly stated exclusions as important as the list of included services. When a quotation describes only what it contains, patients may discover additional costs after arriving in Türkiye.

Assessment Before Travel

One of the most important questions for an international patient is how the proposed treatment plan is determined before flights and accommodation are booked.

At Hair of Istanbul, patients are initially asked to provide clear photographs of the frontal hairline, top, crown and donor area. These images are used to prepare a preliminary assessment and estimated graft range.

The initial estimate is reviewed in person at the clinic through a detailed examination and digital scalp analysis. The treatment plan, graft requirement and hairline design are then discussed with the patient before the procedure is confirmed.

Remote assessments remain preliminary and do not replace an in-person medical examination.

Time to Make an Informed Decision

In December 2023, the British Association of Hair Restoration Surgery, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, and the Turkish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery issued joint minimum guidelines for patients considering hair transplant surgery in Türkiye.

Among their recommendations, the organisations stated that patients should be given two weeks to consider the doctor's recommendation and proposed consent form before making any payment for surgery.

The guidance also recommends that patients consult with the doctor responsible for the procedure, understand who will perform each stage of the surgery and receive clear information about aftercare, possible complications and the provider's complaints procedure.

For patients arranging treatment from abroad, the two-week consideration period provides a useful benchmark when evaluating any clinic—not only Hair of Istanbul.

Regulation of Hair Transplant Units in Türkiye

Hair transplant units in Türkiye are governed by the Regulation on Hair Transplant Units (Saç Ekimi Birimleri Hakkında Yönetmelik), published in the Official Gazette on 6 May 2023 under number 32182 and amended on 3 November 2023.

The regulation establishes requirements concerning authorised healthcare facilities, personnel, treatment rooms, sterile instruments, emergency equipment, informed consent, clinical photography, patient records and regulatory inspections.

International patients evaluating a clinic remotely should ask whether the facility operates as an authorised hair transplant unit and which medical professionals will be responsible for planning, supervising and performing the procedure.

Support for International Patients

Language can create additional uncertainty for patients receiving treatment outside their home country. Hair of Istanbul provides interpreting support during the consultation, procedure and aftercare process to help patients understand their treatment plan and post-procedure instructions.

The clinic coordinates medical assessment, treatment, accommodation, transfers and initial aftercare around the patient's planned stay in Istanbul.

Hair of Istanbul has recorded more than 19,000 hair restoration procedures since its establishment in 2013. Its work includes scalp hair, beard and eyebrow transplantation, scar restoration and revision procedures for patients seeking correction or improvement following previous treatment elsewhere.

Patients can request a preliminary graft estimate before booking travel. Treatment suitability, donor capacity, graft availability and expected outcomes are determined individually following medical assessment. No specific result can be guaranteed.

Questions Patients Should Ask Before Booking

Patients comparing hair transplant packages abroad should request clear answers to the following questions:

- Who will assess, plan, supervise and perform each stage of the procedure?
- What graft range is being proposed, and how was it estimated?
- Which medical tests and consultations are included?
- What accommodation, transfers, medication and aftercare are provided?
- Which services or expenses are excluded?
- What happens if a second procedure is recommended?
- How are complications managed after the patient returns home?
- Is there a written cancellation, refund and complaints policy?
- Is the clinic authorised to operate as a hair transplant unit?
- Will the patient receive adequate time to review the treatment plan and consent documents before making payment?
