Quartz Hospital
The cost of acne scar treatment in Turkey typically ranges from $200 to $700. Prices vary depending on the treatment method (laser resurfacing, microneedling, subcision), the clinic’s reputation, and the dermatologist’s experience. In the United States, the average cost is $5,000 (according to the American Academy of Dermatology). This means acne scar treatment in Turkey is about 90% less than in the U.S.
Turkish clinics usually include the initial consultation, the chosen treatment session, local anesthesia (if needed), and follow-up visits in the price. In the U.S., costs often cover only the procedure itself, with separate fees for consultations, anesthesia, and aftercare. Always confirm exactly what’s included with your clinic before booking.

In Turkey, hotels of different price ranges and service levels are presented. The level of Turkish hotels is comparable to hotels in Tunisia, Morocco or Egypt. Most tourists choose 4 and 5 star hotels with all-inclusive meals. Such hotels have everything for a comfortable stay: varied food, a large well-groomed territory, animation for children and adults. Some hotels have their own water park, which guests can use for free. Budget travelers can afford to book an economical 3-star hotel with half board or no meals at all.
The main advantage of Turkish resorts is the long beach season. On the Mediterranean coast, it starts in April and lasts until November. In the resorts of the Aegean Sea — from May to October. The most comfortable time for swimming is from mid-June to the end of October. A large influx of tourists is in July-August, when the air temperature is +38°C, and the water warms up to +27°C.
In 2020, the Republic of Turkey has visa-free agreements with 89 states. Some foreigners are exempted from obtaining entry visas, others are required to receive an electronic visa (e-Visa), and still others must apply for a visa at Turkish missions abroad.
