Hair loss is a concern which is estimated to affect up to 40% of men. It is usually determined by genes, which ensures that there is not much that can naturally avoid or reverse male baldness. Women can also experience a degree of hair loss, but it is an issue that affects men primarily.
More and more men are becoming involved in procedures for hair transplantation. However, such operations are expensive in countries such as the UK and USA, and finding a qualified doctor who is willing to carry out a hair transplant can be difficult.
In the UK, for a hair transplant, you would expect to pay up to £ 16,000. This mammoth cost for the hair transplant procedures has made patients look elsewhere for the treatment.
Hair Transplants: What to Expect
Turkey is the latest hotspot for men (or women) seeking a hair transplant. The hair transplant industry in Turkey is booming, with specialist clinics able to perform hair transplants for a fraction of the price, with highly skilled and certified doctors.
The lower prices of Turkish clinics in no way reflect the quality of your service. Currently, when it comes to hair transplants, Turkey has been one of the world leaders. They were one of the world's first places to give hair transplants for FUE. FUE stands for ‘follicular unit extraction’' and involves extracting a hair follicle from a donor location and transplanting it to the recipient site, usually the head. This is where the hair can thin or recede. Then the transplanted follicles can develop hair that is solid, natural and fuller in appearance.
A safe and minimally invasive hair transplant treatment is the FUE hair transplant. FUE transplants leave scarring that is invisible to the naked eye, and have a much shorter recovery time, unlike strip hair transplant surgery. The treatment is done under local anaesthetic, numbing only the areas that are being operated on. Where the follicles have been removed and transplanted, small scabs will appear, but these should be fully healed within a week.
Many individuals may be concerned or suspicious about travelling overseas for medical or cosmetic procedures. This caution is natural. As the number one destination for medical tourism, however, Turkish clinics have to comply with strict regulations, and the workers have to comply with international training requirements. Only certified physicians are approved to perform hair transplant procedures in Turkey. Cosmetic surgeons tend to deliver a large variety of treatments in the UK. In Turkey, the doctors conducting hair transplants are professionals with years of experience in that area.
If you are planning for a hair transplant Turkey, Smile Hair Clinic provides with 'all-inclusive' packages that provide prices upfront with no hidden fees. During your stay, the smile hair clinic will assist with flights and lodging, plus airport transfers, transportation from your hotel to the clinic, and all clinic and doctor fees plus the cost of the procedure itself. A DHI HAIR TRANSPLANT TURKEY is also likely to be cheaper than at home, particularly through the expense of flying to Turkey and hotel expenses are taken into account.
