What makes it difficult to select a hair transplant clinic ? The proliferation of clinics offering FUE technique, the aggressive marketing of some clinics which may not be trustable, the price war among low-cost Turkish clinics, which pulls prices downward, at a medical risk for patients, creates a landscape of players that may be very misleading for hair loss sufferers who want to restore their looks.
What are the bad news ? The number of patients who end up with a failed hair transplant is increasing, and they have to turn for repair to top doctors at additional expense, and sometimes with not much hope when their donor area is seriously damaged.
What are the good news ? It is possible for a hair loss sufferer to be on the safe side, at a reasonable cost, and to enjoy a beautiful new hairline, or a fully restored head hair, or beard hair, or eyebrows…
The best and most trustable clinics in Turkey have not gone in a war price, on the contrary, they tend to remain medium and high range.
At the same time, prices in the European Union and have gone down, matching in some case the Turkish prices.
Therefore,it is no longer necessary to travel far in order to find affordable treatments, first look in your own country !
Our story: Jean-Luc Waller, the founder and director of Trikkos.com, is a French national with extensive international professional background.
He set himself a goal : to showcase a selection of trustable hair transplant clinics, that would be easy to sort according to patient’s needs, budget, and preferences for the treatment (technique, language, country preference, doctor involvement in the procedure…
In 2016, he launched an online comparator of 250 clinics in Europe (best-hair-clinics.com), which has been used so far by about 25,000 hair loss sufferers in search for the ideal clinic for their case and for their budget.
Trikkos.com (2025) is the second generation of this comparator, design to cover all continents.
To update his knowledge of the best clinics, Jean-Luc Waller is following closely the publications, activities and events of the Societies gathering top surgeons, i.e. the ISHRS (International Society for Hair Restoration Surgery), the WFI (World FUE Institute) and the FUE Europe association. He attends yearly meetings in order to update his knowledge of the techniques and do fruitful networking. He travels as much as he can, to visit the clinics in various countries, and see by himself.
So, we are not a medical travel agency, not a leads'generator, but an independent adviser who is trying his best to do the matching between patients requirements and clinics specificities, and always putting the patient's interest before any commercial consideration.
