It is not uncommon for our international clients to combine hair and skincare treatments during their visit to our Istanbul medical clinic. Medical tourism can make it possible to address several concerns during one trip, especially in Turkey, where combining treatments can be a more economical option while making better use of your time abroad.
Let’s take a look at one of these combination treatments. Here is our UK Este client Cameron showing off his before and after Turkey hair transplant results, along with the success of his Exciplex eye treatment. A DHI or FUE hair transplant in Turkey can take a couple of days, so it made sense for Cameron to also address the visible vitiligo around his eyes while undergoing his hair grafting procedure.
One Trip, Two Personalized Treatments at Este Medical in Istanbul
You can see from Cameron’s before and after photos that he had two ongoing concerns he wanted to address. As a younger man, Cameron’s hairline was starting to recede, and he was concerned that his hair loss could become more noticeable over time. Rather than waiting for his hair loss to progress, he decided that treating it earlier could be a worth while long-term investment while helping him maintain a more current and stylish hairline.
Cameron also had visible areas of depigented skin around his eyes caused by vitiligo. Since vitiligo can be a long-term skin condition, he wanted to explore treatment options while already traveling to Turkey for his hair transplant. His personalized treatment plan included more than 3,500 hair grafts to restore his receding hairline, along with Exciplex treatment targeting the vitiligo around his eyes.
The results show a visible improvement in both areas. Cameron has achieved a fuller, more defined hairline with 3,550 hair grafts, while his Exciplex Este treatment has helped improve the appearance of the skin tone and pigmentation around his eyes.

How a Hair Transplant to Lower Hairline Is a Game-Changer
When it comes to the different types of hair loss, a receding hairline can be particularly difficult for men to deal with. Overall hair thinning may be less noticeable to others, but when the hair at the temples begins to disappear and the hairline moves further back, the change can be much more obvious. For many men, especially younger men, a receding hairline can have a real impact on self-esteem and confidence. Looking in the mirror, Cameron decided he was ready to do something about his hair loss rather than simply accept that his hairline would continue to recede.
Men today are more empowered to take control of their appearance and explore hair restoration options. The growing self-care movement for men has helped make it more acceptable to address personal hair loss and skincare concerns, many of which women have been managing for years with professional help. It is now increasingly common for men to visit an aesthetic clinic for hair maintenance treatments such as PRF and stem cell hair therapy, or to take the next step with a DHI hair transplant when they want a more significant upgrade.
The stigma around men taking care of their appearance appears to be fading, and many men are no longer interested in hiding the fact that they have had hair grafts. In Istanbul, one of the world's leading destinations for hair restoration, you can see men from all over the globe going about their day after having a hair transplant. Men are also exploring treatments such as Botox, lip filler, dermal fillers and cosmetic dentistry as part of their personal approach to looking and feeling their best.
At Este Medical Group, we believe everyone, regardless of their stage of life, health, career or personal background, deserves to feel confident about themselves. We are here to provide care, compassion and support throughout your treatment journey. Whether your goal is to lower your hairline, improve thinning hair or simply explore what is possible, at Este Turkey, we are here to support you 100%.
Skincare: Understanding Vitiligo and Treatment Options
Vitiligo is a skin condition that causes patches of skin to lose their natural pigment, creating lighter or white areas that can appear anywhere on the body. It often develops when the immune system mistakenly attacks melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing your natural skin pigment. While vitiligo is not contagious or dangerous, the visible changes can affect self-confidence and make many individuals want to explore treatment options. Since vitiligo often does not go away on its own, seeking professional care can be a positive step toward managing the condition.
Depending on the individual, medical treatments such as light therapy, certain steroid creams, and newer prescription ointments may help restore pigmentation or slow the spread of vitiligo patches.
At Este Medical Group, we have experience treating autoimmune skin conditions, including alopecia, psoriasis, eczema, and vitiligo, with skin-safe and effective Exciplex phototherapy. This non-invasive treatment uses targeted UVB light to help regulate the local immune response, soothe skin inflammation, and encourage repigmentation. For those living with visible autoimmune skin changes due to vitiligo, Exciplex can offer a practical treatment option.
Make Your Turkey Trip Part of Your Transformation
Medical tourism in destinations such as Turkey gives people more options when it comes to cosmetic treatments, often at a more affordable price than they may find at home. It has also become increasingly common for travelers to combine cosmetic treatments with sightseeing, dining and discovering a new country, turning one trip into an opportunity for both personal care and travel.
At Este Turkey, we have been welcoming medical tourists to Istanbul for many years, so we understand that every traveler has different needs. You may be looking for two completely different transformations, but you will still receive one personalized journey tailored to your travel timeline, budget and aesthetic goals. At Este Medical Group Istanbul, every client’s journey is evaluated individually, with treatments planned around their needs, from hair transplantation and non-surgical hair growth treatments to dental work, face and body treatments.
So, why not make Turkey your next destination and imagine what you would like to see transformed?
