PRP hair loss treatment in Turkey typically costs from $100 to $200. Prices vary depending on the clinic, the number of sessions, and the doctor’s expertise. In the United States, the average cost is $3,500 (per ISHRS). That means PRP hair treatment in Turkey is about 94% less than in the U.S.
Turkish clinics usually include the PRP procedure, scalp analysis, local anesthesia, and post-treatment follow-up in the price. In the U.S., each session, anesthesia, and follow-ups are often billed separately. Always confirm how many sessions and which services are included 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.
