ISTANBUL (TR) - Despite the travel restrictions caused by the pandemic in recent years, the momentum of Turkey in health tourism is increasing day by day. According to the data announced by the Thermal Health and Tourism Association (TESTUD), while the income from health tourism in our country was approximately 1.9 billion in 2020, this figure reached 2.1 billion in 2021 with an increase of 10.52 percent. The hair transplantation sector, which is estimated to reach a global size of 51.8 billion dollars in 2028, has an important place in the share of our country in health tourism.

Bloomberg, one of the important publications that takes the pulse of the business and finance world on a global scale, has created a special video news file on hair transplantation. Pointing out Turkey's expertise in this field and stating that they are the only Turkish hair transplant clinic in the video watched by nearly half a million people, BlueMagic Group International Founder Pasquale Minasi made the following statements on the subject: “As a result of the advanced technologies used in hair transplantation, Turkey became an important centre. We have performed 21 thousand hair transplant surgeries so far at the clinic of our London-based company in Istanbul.”

70% of those who come to Turkey for hair transplant are from Europe

Pasquale Minasi said that according to the data of the Turkish Health Tourism Association, 70% of the people who choose Turkey for hair transplant come from European countries and said, “One of the main reasons for hair transplantation is baldness resulting from intense hair loss. This situation can disturb many people both visually and psychologically. One of the first stops of people who want to solve this problem with permanent methods is Turkey. As BlueMagic Group, we offer our 15 years of experience and expertise in this field in Istanbul, which is located in the heart of Turkey. With our team of surgeons with international certificates, we work to provide the best methods and conditions for our patients who want to have hair, beard and eyebrow transplantation from different parts of the world. In addition, by undertaking the transportation and accommodation organization, we support the comfort of the process they spend in our country.”

“Hair transplant process does not end with the operation”

BlueMagic Group CEO Hazem Altal stated that they have created many opportunity packages for their patients, apart from professional teams, in hair transplantation treatments, “The first goal of patients who want to have hair transplantation is to find the most ideal and permanent solution to this problem. At this point, we provide long-term and successful results to our patients, as we have recorded in more than 21 thousand hair transplant operations. But of course, the process doesn't end there. Because after the hair transplant operation, care and regular control are a must. As the BlueMagic team, we offer a 12-month post-care procedure and special packages that will improve travel conditions so that our patients are not alone during the process.”
