Hair transplants abroad have become one of the most common medical tourism procedures. Turkey performs an estimated 700,000 hair transplant procedures annually. Costs range from $1,500-$3,000 including all-inclusive packages, compared to $10,000-$25,000 in the US or UK.
FUE vs DHI: Which is Right for You?
FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) involves extracting individual hair follicles from the donor area. It leaves minimal scarring and has a faster recovery time.
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) uses a specialised Choi implanter pen for greater density and precision, particularly around the hairline.
What to Look for in a Clinic
