Both men and women can experience hair loss problems at any age, regardless of their ethnicity. There are a variety of reasons for hair loss. These reasons include the following:

• Stress
• Inherited alopecia (genetics)
• Hormonal imbalances
• Hypo or hyperthyroidism

Modern medicine offers a set of reliable treatment options for hair loss that suit the needs of most people. And hair transplantation is consistently rising in popularity among them. There are two main hair transplantation methods widely in practice today: DHI (direct hair implantation) and FUE (follicular unit implantation). Both have very advantageous results.

Having established the effectiveness and success of hair transplant operations, now we look into the best places to get a hair transplant.

In this article, we examine the pros and cons of getting hair transplants in Turkey and France.

Hair Transplant France

As with most things, medical services are rather expensive in France, including hair transplantation. The regulations and taxes affect the prices on medical procedures, and hair treatment is no exception. Also, since the official currency in France is the euro, international patients may find it a bit costly.

Turkey and France both implement the latest technology and methods when it comes to hair transplantation. However, employing people is expensive in France, so hair transplant teams are fewer in French hair transplant centres. This results in hair transplant queues in France, where patients may wait up to several months. Also, the regulations in France dictate that surgeons cannot go over a certain number of grafts when doing hair transplantation. That’s why French physicians often ask patients to undergo multiple sessions of hair transplantation.

Hair Transplant Turkey

In Turkey, things work a bit differently. Health service centres such as Gold City Hair offer just as high-quality service for a fraction of the price. By getting your transplantation in Turkey, you may pay as little as one-third of what you would pay in France.

One of the main advantages Turkey has is the lower cost for employers. Owing to this, there are more and bigger hair transplant teams, and they are able to do more grafts in a small time frame. You will get the maximum possible grafts (maximum the specialists can get without harming your donor area) in the operations conducted. 

Along with its medical appeal, Istanbul also appeals to many tourists. Medical tourists are not an exception here. There are many historic sites and points of interest, such as the grand bazaar or maiden’s tower in Istanbul that you can enjoy while recuperating. That’s why many medical tourists also take a sidenote vacation in Turkey after they are done with their procedures.

We have had fifty thousand international visitors during this time, and we always value the satisfaction of our patients. Give us a call and get for yourself an Gold City Hair experience.
