What Turkey packages typically include
Why Antalya for hair transplant
Antalya's clinics hold JCI accreditation, a gold-standard international quality mark for surgical centres. This means they meet rigorous standards for infection control, surgical protocols, and patient safety equivalent to UK NHS standards. The city's medical infrastructure, combined with lower operating costs, allows clinics to invest in advanced technology like sapphire-blade FUE systems and dedicated follicle extraction microscopes. Surgeons are internationally trained and speak English, removing communication barriers during consultation and recovery.
Antalya's Mediterranean location accelerates recovery through natural factors: warm, dry climate reduces post-operative swelling, UV exposure aids healing, and the relaxed setting encourages compliance with rest protocols. Direct flights from London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Glasgow (4.5 hours) minimise travel stress on healing scalps. All-inclusive packages eliminate hidden costs and post-operative anxiety about follow-up logistics. UK-based Dr.Visor vetting ensures clinic transparency on credentials, outcomes data, and aftercare commitments before you commit.

What to check before choosing a clinic
Frequently asked questions
Why is hair transplant so much cheaper in Turkey than the UK?
Lower labour costs and clinical overheads allow Turkish JCI-accredited clinics to charge 70-80% less while maintaining equivalent surgical standards. All-inclusive packages (flights, accommodation, aftercare) spread costs further. UK private clinics operate separately, leaving you to arrange travel and recovery alone.
How long is recovery after hair transplant in Turkey?
Initial healing takes 7-10 days (scabs shed, redness fades). Full follicle maturation takes 12-18 months for visible density. Most patients return to light work within 5 days. Antalya's warm climate and included aftercare support accelerate the early healing phase significantly.
How long do I need to stay in Antalya for hair transplant?
Standard stay is 5-7 days: day 1 pre-operative assessment and overnight, day 2 surgery, days 3-7 post-operative monitoring and wound care. You can return home once stitches are removed and initial aftercare instructions are confirmed, typically day 5-7.
Is hair transplant in Turkey safe for UK patients?
Yes, provided you choose a JCI-accredited clinic with verified surgeon credentials. Dr.Visor vets all listed clinics for international standards, patient safety records, and transparent pricing. UK-based liaison support ensures continuous communication if complications arise post-travel.
What aftercare and follow-up support do I get after returning to the UK?
All-inclusive packages include remote consultations at weeks 2, 6, and 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery. Clinics provide written protocols for daily care, medications, and activity restrictions. UK-based Dr.Visor liaison and your surgeon's team are available via email and video call for questions.
How many grafts do I need for hair transplant?
Graft count depends on hair loss extent, existing density, and desired coverage. Typical ranges are 1,000-3,000 grafts for mild to moderate loss, 3,000-5,000 for extensive loss. Your consultation will assess scalp via photos and determine the personalised graft plan before pricing and travel dates are confirmed.
