Start without choosingWhat may speak against it
- The price: for the same number of grafts you pay about three times as much as in Turkey, according to our guide values.
- Fewer packages: hotel and transfer are rarely included, though you often don't need them.
- Different set-ups: some practices only do hair transplants alongside other treatments. Ask how much experience the team has with them.
What to look for in doctors and practices
There is no specialist title for hair transplantation in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. Dermatologists or plastic surgeons often operate, but other doctors do too. Terms like “hair surgeon” are not protected titles.
So ask about the doctor's experience with hair transplants, how many procedures they do a year, which steps they take on personally and whether you can see results from patients with a similar starting point.
Does health insurance pay?
For hereditary hair loss, usually not, and that also applies to treatment at home. There can be exceptions if the hair loss has a medical cause, for example after an accident or a burn. Clarify this with your insurer in writing beforehand.
Comparing home and abroad fairly
When you put offers from home and abroad side by side, include everything:
- travel, hotel and days off for the offer abroad
- check-ups in the months afterwards: in person on site or by photo
- what's included in the price, such as medication and aftercare
- who operates, regardless of the country
On Trichio you can select several regions in the questionnaire and see offers from German-speaking countries and from Turkey side by side in the same format.
