Europe, the region most affected by hair loss, is increasingly looking towards Turkey for hair transplantation options. Şule Ölmez, the visionary behind Istanbul’s Sule Hair Transplant Clinic, shares her insights on why Turkey has become a top destination in this medical specialty, based on her extensive experience with patients from various countries.
The escalating hair loss issue in Europe has driven many to seek permanent solutions like hair transplantation. Turkish clinics, renowned for serving health tourists globally, are becoming the go-to choice for many Europeans. Şule Ölmez, an influential figure in this field, leading her clinic in Istanbul, commented, “We offer hair transplantation and dental treatment services to thousands of patients from all over the world, especially those coming from the European countries.”
Europe’s Intense Hair Loss Challenge
Recent studies have brought to light the extensive hair loss problem in Europe, with eight of the ten countries with the highest rates being European. The Czech Republic is leading this trend, with Spain, Germany, France, and the UK following closely. Turkey stands out as a preferred destination for those seeking enduring solutions, thanks to its cost-effective and superior services.
Şule Ölmez Reflects on Turkey’s Standing in Hair Transplantation
“Turkey has become a hub for hair transplantation with its superior success rates and quality services worldwide. We also contribute to this success with our high standard services that prioritise patient satisfaction.”
A 99% Rate of Patient Satisfaction
“Our clinic has secured a 99% satisfaction rate in hair transplantation, illustrating our focus on customised treatment plans and high-quality care. We consider our patients as part of our family, which helps us tailor treatments to their specific needs and aspirations.”
Quality as a Priority
Şule Ölmez underscores her clinic’s emphasis on quality, “Although we perform fewer operations, we prefer to provide a higher standard of service in each procedure. We ensure that our patients are supported not just during the operation, but also through their recovery, guaranteeing their comfort and safety.”
Combining Medical Procedures with Istanbul’s Tourism
Şule Ölmez highlights the unique aspect of combining medical treatments with tourism for international patients. “Patients who come to Turkey need to stay for 4 days to complete various procedures. Since hair transplantation process has already been completed in this process, they could use their remaining time by visiting Istanbul. So much so that this opportunity increases the attractiveness of our clinic for European citizens who visit Istanbul the most. We make the most suitable plan for our patients according to the hair transplant package they choose. For instance, in the all-inclusive hair transplant package, we arrange the airport transfer and accommodation. In order for each of our patients to leave Turkey satisfied, we accompany them from the first meeting to the completion of the recovery process. In this way, we make hair transplantation process a pleasant trip while ensuring that they return to their country happily.”
