Best Hair Clinics: Latin America or Turkey?
Best Hair Clinic in Latin America: In recent years aesthetic procedures have become popular worldwide and with them medical tourism. Without a doubt one of the fastest growing branches in the medical-aesthetic industry has been hair transplantation; people are traveling from all over the globe searching for good results at a low prices; However, it is important to understand that, in the world of hair clinics, in most cases, low prices do not translate into good results. That is why we recommend investigating, researching and consulting in detail before making the decision to have a hair transplant outside Latin America.
HOW TO CHOOSE A HAIR CLINIC?
With the emergence of the first hair transplant technique, in 1959, called «Punch», they began to inaugurate what is now known as hair clinics; which are medical centers specialized in providing solutions for hair loss. There are currently thousands of clinics around the world, but not all use the same technique. In many the procedures are performed by technicians (not doctors) and much less have protocols that support the results.

WHERE TO GO? LATIN AMERICA OR TURKEY
We cannot ignore that Turkey has become a pilgrimage center for hair transplant procedures. His marketing trick has been to offer extraction of large amounts of hair at a very low price … and the truth is that, it has worked for them.
But it must be clear that not everything is bed and roses and for any type of cosmetic procedure it is important that the patient can be informed so it can not to be easily deceived.
How do they offer so many hair at low cost?
In Turkey, hair clinics get subsidies from the government, with the vision of promoting medical tourism. In adition, the vast majority of procedures are not performed by qualified doctors, but only technicians, which reduces the cost of wages.
Diagnostic
The best treatment is obtained after a correct diagnostic, the problem with Turkey is that in many of these hair clinics, the patient is offered a minimum extraction of 7,000 hairs without first knowing closely the condition of his donor area and the type of Alopecia that is suffering.
Non-Doctor Technicians
To keep operating at low cost, hair clinics in Turkey choose to hire technicians and not specialized doctors. This results in a problem at the time of the results. Each hair must be implanted at a correct angle, direction and depth to obtain the desired natural appearance. Without prior training, the appearance of your hair is at risk in the hands of a person without specialization or certificate.
Maximum Extraction
Hair clinics in Turkey offer maximum follicle extraction without first examining the patient properly. This results in extra hair being removed during the procedure, which can completely destroy the donation area and in most cases leave holes in the back of the head.
As we have seen in other articles about Androgenic Alopecia, this is progressive. It is possible that over the years you are going to need 1 or 2 more hair transplant procedures. With a donor area, damaged by a previous procedure this is completely impossible.
Mass Procedures
Hair clinics in Turkey perform up to 60 procedures daily and it is known that in some they have up to 15 stretchers in a single transplant room. Its only objective is to remove hair and implant it as quickly as possible. This tends to decrease the quality of a good hair implant.
Follow Up
Part of the success of a hair transplant is the post-procedure follow-up. After the implant, most patients board a plane, so the language barrier becomes a real headache at the time of follow-up, through a phone call.
Technique
As a result of the lack of training by their medical team, hair clinics in Turkey apply techniques without standardized protocols, such as the FUE and the FUT. Read More
