With Europe facing the highest prevalence of hair loss globally, its citizens are increasingly drawn to Turkey for hair transplantation. Şule Ölmez, the founder of Sule Hair Transplant Clinic in Istanbul, shares her perspective on Turkey’s ascendancy in this medical practice, reflecting on her extensive experience with patients from around the world.
The persistent problem of hair loss in Europe is leading many towards hair transplantation as a sustainable solution. Turkey, with its clinics hosting thousands of international health tourists annually, has become a primary choice throughout Europe. Şule Ölmez, a distinguished entrepreneur in the industry, operating her clinic in Istanbul, stated, “We offer hair transplantation and dental treatment services to thousands of patients from all over the world, especially those coming from the European countries.”
The Scale of Hair Loss in Europe
Research demonstrates that hair loss is increasingly a common concern in Europe, with eight of the ten countries most impacted being European. The Czech Republic is at the forefront, followed by Spain, Germany, France, and the UK. Turkey has risen as a popular choice for many searching for a lasting solution, praised for its cost-effectiveness and excellence in service.
Şule Ölmez on Turkey’s Prominence 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.”
Realising a 99% Patient Satisfaction Level
“Our clinic has achieved a 99% satisfaction rate in hair transplantation, indicating our focus on tailored treatment methods and superior care. We regard our patients as more than clients, but as part of our family, enabling us to develop specific treatment plans that cater to their individual needs and goals.”
Prioritising High-Quality Service
Şule Ölmez emphasises her clinic’s devotion to quality, “Although we perform fewer operations, we prefer to provide a higher standard of service in each procedure. Our support to our patients continues through the operation and into the recovery phase, ensuring their safety and wellbeing.”
Combining Medical Treatment with Istanbul’s Attractions
Şule Ölmez speaks about the unique combination of medical treatment with tourism for foreign 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.”
