What this typically costs, per ~2,000 graft session
These ranges are here to help you budget before you request a quote. Final pricing comes from the independent clinic after physician review.
These are rough ranges we pulled from public sources — not quotes, and not Astramedica's prices. Your real cost is set by the partner surgeon after reviewing your case, based on how many grafts you need, the method, and the aftercare plan.

Program at a glance
What matters most, at a glance
A fast, patient-friendly summary of the service, likely travel window, and how the coordination works.
What this program is
A hair transplant moves healthy hair from a fuller part of your scalp (usually the back or sides) over to thinning areas. Partner clinics in Turkey mostly use two modern methods — FUE and DHI. Some clinics may also recommend non-surgical aftercare steps to support recovery and graft settling.
Commonly explored by
Adults thinking about a hair transplant — usually people who still have enough hair on the back or sides to use as a donor area. Only the partner surgeon decides if you're a good fit, how many grafts you need, and which method is right — not Astramedica.
What the program typically includes
A typical trip usually looks like this:
- A first meeting with the partner surgeon
- The procedure itself — usually 6 to 8 hours, awake but numbed
- One night of rest at your hotel afterward
- A follow-up wash at the clinic the next day
- Written home-care instructions
- Three remote check-ins over the next year (at 3, 6, and 12 months)
Typical travel window
Plan for 3 to 4 nights in Istanbul. If you want to combine this with another program, you'll likely need a few more days. Direct flights from major US cities are easy to find — our team helps you sort it out.
What Astramedica coordinates
We handle the travel side, not the medical side:
- One US-based coordinator you can reach from day one through your return flight
- A short list of vetted partner clinics, with surgeon credentials laid out clearly
- Flights, airport pickups, and hotel bookings
- Translator help when you meet the surgeon
- Paperwork pass-through and scheduling your follow-ups after you get home

Program overview
What this service can look like
A clearer picture of the journey before you book anything with a clinic or arrange travel.
This pathway is for patients in the US who want a hair transplant in Turkey without trying to compare clinics, pricing, and travel details alone. Partner clinics typically offer FUE and DHI options, while Astramedica helps organize the practical side from the US.
Before a clinic joins our partner list, we review surgeon credentials, clinic licensing, equipment standards, and how the team handles aftercare communication. You'll have a clearer view of the option you are considering before you book travel.
The partner surgeon makes every medical decision, including whether you are a candidate, how many grafts may be appropriate, and which technique is recommended. Astramedica does not provide medical advice or predict a specific cosmetic result.
Why patients look at Turkey
“Many patients compare Turkey for hair transplant because surgeon volume, clinic specialization, and overall trip pricing can make the option feel compelling. With the right planning, the journey from the US to Istanbul can also feel straightforward and well supported.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The practical questions patients usually ask before they move from researching into reaching out.
Does Astramedica perform the hair transplant?
No. Astramedica coordinates travel, timing, and communication. The procedure is performed by an independent licensed surgeon at the partner clinic, and all medical decisions stay with that surgeon.
How are partner clinics selected?
We review surgeon credentials, clinic licensing, equipment standards, and aftercare processes before a clinic joins the partner list. You can read more on the Clinic Vetting Process page.
What's the difference between FUE and DHI?
FUE and DHI are two common ways partner clinics place grafts. Which technique may suit you depends on your hair-loss pattern, donor area, and the surgeon's assessment.
How long will I need to be in Istanbul?
Many patients stay about 4 to 5 nights, but the exact plan depends on the clinic's schedule, your procedure timing, and what the surgeon wants to monitor after the session.
Next step
Want clearer pricing, timing, and next steps?
