The 4 Most Popular Procedures Among Our International Patients in 2024
In 2002, when we first opened our clinic, it was quite common for people to travel from one country to another for dermatological examinations or aesthetic procedures.
At that time, most of our non-Turkish patients were German and British citizens who had settled in regions such as Antalya, Alanya, Kaş, or Kemer.
By the early 2010s, we noticed an increasing trend where tourists visiting Antalya also came to our clinic for non-surgical aesthetic procedures.
One of the main reasons behind this was the ability to receive high-quality care at a more affordable price compared to their home countries.
Positive experiences shared by word of mouth further fueled this trend.
During these years, we observed a significant rise in demand for dermatological examinations, Botox, fillers, and treatments for hair loss at our clinic.
Today, Türkiye hosts over 1.5 million people annually for medical treatments.
This figure is likely much higher if we consider that many tourists visiting Türkiye for holidays also take advantage of the opportunity to undergo various aesthetic or medical procedures during their stay.
Over the years, we have welcomed thousands of patients from many countries, particularly from Europe, America, and Russia.
Our patients who come to Turkey from abroad often assume that a more affordable fee means lower quality service. However, when they see that we use high-quality products and that our doctors are experienced, their perception begins to change.

In 2024, the most requested procedures by our international patients were:
1.Botox and Fillers: We performed over 1,200 Botox and filler applications for patients traveling from abroad. Lip filler was the most commonly requested treatment area.
Botox, which we primarily use to treat wrinkles, has also become increasingly popular among patients dealing with teeth clenching and grinding issues.,
2. Hair Loss Treatments: We performed procedures such as PRP, mesotherapy, and hair transplants for more than 500 patients.
For patients experiencing hair loss but not opting for hair transplants, we combined hair PRP and hair mesotherapy, achieving very satisfactory results.
Regarding hair transplantation, we have almost entirely shifted from the traditional channel FUE technique to the DHI technique, which is now used in nearly all of our procedures
3. Mole Removal: Mole removal has become one of the most sought-after procedures in dermatology, which is our area of expertise.
Many international patients prefer our clinic for mole removal, just as they do for Botox, fillers, and hair transplants.
Mole removal is especially practical to receive abroad, as multiple moles can be removed in a single session.
Moles that are aesthetically bothersome or potentially suspicious can be safely removed within a few hours. Patients who have previously had positive experiences with medical care abroad are increasingly requesting mole removal treatments.
4. Laser Hair Removal: Many of our patients begin their laser hair removal treatments abroad and continue their intermediate sessions at our clinic.
We use FDA-approved Cynosure devices, which are globally recognized as leaders in laser technology. With four high-quality devices, we provide the same level of service as top clinics abroad, but at a much more affordable price.
