Hair transplant in Turkey or Sweden? An honest comparison
Turkey attracts with low prices. Here we compare price, quality, follow-up and safety objectively, so you can make a well-informed decision.
Turkey has become one of the world's largest destinations for hair transplants, and the question comes up in almost every consultation: should I go abroad and save money? Here is our objective comparison. We obviously benefit from you choosing us, so we try to keep it honest and let you draw your own conclusions.
The price
It is no secret that a hair transplant is often cheaper in Turkey, sometimes a third of the price in Sweden. The explanation is lower labour costs, high volume and a very competitive market. When you factor in flights, hotel and any extra trips, the price gap narrows, but it remains.
The quality
Here the picture is more nuanced. There are world-class Turkish clinics, and there are clinics where a large part of the procedure is performed by technicians rather than doctors, on an assembly-line basis. The problem for you as a patient is that it is hard to vet from a distance, via a website and WhatsApp. The result can be excellent, or a hairline that does not age naturally.
Follow-up and safety
This is where the biggest difference lies. A hair transplant heals over a full year, and it is during that time that problems can arise. With a Swedish clinic you have in-person follow-up, someone to call, and Swedish insurance cover and IVO supervision behind you. If a complication arises after a trip abroad, it is considerably harder to get help and hold anyone accountable.
What you are actually comparing
Our point is not that Turkey is bad, it is that price should not be the only point of comparison for a procedure that permanently affects your appearance. Compare the whole: who performs the procedure, what is included, what the follow-up looks like, and what happens if something goes wrong.
With us you get a fixed price with everything included, treatment by licensed staff, four PRP injections and three follow-ups during the first year, in Gothenburg. At a free consultation we go through your case and give a binding price, so you can compare apples with apples.
