Turkey Hair Transplant? Consider the Bay Area as an Alternative

Turkey is well-known as a center for hair transplants, but it’s a long way to go. Give or take a couple of miles, it’s 7,000 miles away. Yes, it is a beautiful, historic, incredible country, but do you really want to fly that far for Turkey hair transplants? Especially when you can get the best transplant right here in Foster City, and that’s only 30 miles or so from wherever you happen to live in the Bay Area, and a lot closer if you live in San Mateo or Redwood City.

OK, so Foster City is not exactly Istanbul, but we think you should look at the pros and cons of Turkey hair transplants and Foster City transplants and the pros and cons of Foster City for a holiday and Turkey for a holiday. Most people would vote Turkey for the holiday, but they’d vote Foster City for the hair transplant because Foster City is the home of Silicon Valley Hair Institute.

Silicon Valley Hair Institute is under the direction of Dr Miguel Canales, and if you don’t know who he is, he was Medical Director of Restoration Robotics Inc., for ten years. It was he and his team who invented the ARTAS robotic system of hair transplantation which is the self-same system that is used in many Turkey hair transplants! Why go all the way to Turkey when you can get it done just up the road by the man who invented it?

No Visible Scars

There are very many benefits of a robotic hair transplant, not the least of which is that it leaves no visible scar. When you have a manual transplant, a strip of hair at the back of your head is removed and broken down into follicular units which are then transplanted to the recipient area. This leaves a visible scar at the back of your head. The ARTAS system leaves no visible scarring whatever, which means that you can wear your hair short if you wish because there is nothing to cover up.

There is also less pain, discomfort, and down time with a robotic procedure. Patients who are active in sports can return to them after one or two days. The system also creates an aesthetically pleasing recipient site because it will exactly match the angle, direction, and elevation of the existing hair in the recipient site.

Dr Canales provides all patients with a free consultation at which he can answer all your questions. So instead of flying to Turkey, just get in the car and come over to Foster City.
