Turkey's high quality and success in hair transplantation has drawn huge interest from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates in the Middle East, as well as Germany, Britain, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and France in Europe, Kurt added.

According to Kurt, tourists receive hair transplantation services in Turkey at half of the price in their own countries.

"We had thousands of patients from Europe in the past five years and some of them came back for a top-up to have more luscious hair," a clinic representative in Istanbul, who did not reveal her name, told Xinhua.

The treatment costs also cover a two-night stay in a nice hotel for patients to go sightseeing in Istanbul, Turkey's historical heartland, she added.

Besides good coordination between multiple ministries, Turkey's flag carrier Turkish Airlines with an increasing number of destinations also contributes significantly to the thriving sector.

"Turkish Airlines flies to more than 300 destinations so it is a big asset. Patients can also get visa online, making travel an easy thing," Cakmak noted.
