Short answer
A hair transplant package in Turkey usually includes the doctor's assessment, the procedure with local anaesthesia, medication and aftercare products, the first wash, hotel nights, airport transfers and an interpreter. Better packages add PRP, laser therapy, a care kit and at least 12 months of follow-up. Flights and personal spending are normally not included. Always ask for every inclusion in writing before you book.

What does a hair transplant package usually cover?
A package combines the medical treatment with the practical side of travelling for surgery. Instead of booking a hotel, taxi and interpreter yourself, the clinic arranges them. This is common in Turkey and is one reason patients compare packages rather than single prices.
A complete package should cover the medical steps from assessment to follow-up, plus logistics for your stay. Most patients stay about 3 days in Istanbul. You can see how the days are usually planned on our patient journey page.
- Online assessment and in-person consultation with a doctor
- The procedure, including local anaesthesia
- Medication, washing products and the first wash
- Hotel nights and airport and clinic transfers
- A medical interpreter
- Written aftercare instructions and follow-up
What medical services are included?
The core of every package is the surgery itself. That includes the hairline design, graft extraction, channel opening and implantation. The technique, such as Sapphire FUE, DHI or a hybrid, is chosen by the doctor based on your hair and goals.
Anaesthesia is often what separates package levels. Some packages use needle-free local anaesthesia, while higher packages add sedation to help you feel more relaxed. Supporting treatments such as PRP and laser hair therapy may also be included to support healing and the growth phase. Results vary, and a doctor advises what suits you.
How do Metropolmed's hair transplant packages compare?
Metropolmed offers three hair transplant packages. Our own doctors and team perform the procedure in our licensed Istanbul clinic in all three, and we arrange the hotel, VIP transfer and interpreter. The difference lies mainly in anaesthesia, hotel level, care kit length and extra therapies.
We do not publish prices. Your price is confirmed in writing after a free online assessment. You can also view the packages on our packages page.

What travel and comfort services are included?
Travel services make the trip simpler, especially if it is your first time in Istanbul. A VIP transfer meets you at the airport and takes you between the hotel and the clinic. See our airport transfer service.
The hotel is usually close to the clinic, so you can rest between appointments. A medical interpreter helps you understand each step and ask questions in your own language. Read more about our hotel service.
What is usually not included?
Even an all-inclusive package has limits. Knowing them early helps you plan your budget. If someone travels with you, ask in advance whether they can share your room and join the transfers, and whether this changes the price of your package.
| Item | Usually included? | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| International flights | No | Book after your date is confirmed |
| Meals outside the hotel | No | Check whether breakfast is included |
| Extra hotel nights | No | Ask the price before you extend |
| Travel insurance | No | Recommended for any trip |
| Long-term medication at home | No | Discuss options with your doctor |
| Companion's flights | No | Ask whether the room can be shared |
Why do packages differ so much between clinics?
Two packages with similar names can be very different. One may include a named doctor, sedation, PRP and a year of follow-up. Another may include only the surgery and one hotel night, with transfers and medication charged later. Published guides advise patients to confirm every inclusion in writing, because extras that appear during your stay mean the headline price was not a full quote.
The level of the hotel, the number of nights and the length of follow-up also vary. So does who performs the procedure. When you compare offers, line them up item by item rather than comparing a single price. A short list of questions, sent to each clinic in writing, makes this much easier.
Which package is right for you?
There is no single best package. The Campaign package covers the essentials. Premium adds sedation and a longer care kit, which is why many patients choose it. Elite adds a 5-star hotel, a 6-month care kit and stem cell / exosome therapy.
Your doctor can explain which options make sense for your case. A package does not change how many grafts you can safely receive; that depends on your donor area. For costs, read how much a hair transplant costs in Turkey.
What should you confirm before booking?
Ask for a written summary of your package before you pay a deposit. It should list the technique, planned graft range, anaesthesia, hotel name and nights, transfers, interpreter, care kit and follow-up period.
You can see how other patients' packages turned out in our patient stories. For example, Roza Agibayeva had 4,000 grafts with Sapphire FUE, shown at 7 months. When you are ready, send your photos for a free assessment. We reply within one working day, and you can pay by card, Wise or bank transfer.
