Local prices read on 6 October 2026 from each clinic's own website. Turkey figures from the Foxpare price index, reviewed 4 October 2026.
Short answer. Five Dublin clinics publish hair transplant prices on their own websites. None states a per-graft rate; all five publish a price range or a starting price, from "€2,000 - €5,000" at one clinic to "€4,000 to €7,500" at another, and "starting from €3500" or "starts from €3,500" at two others. On Foxpare's price index, the 33 Istanbul clinics that publish package prices start at a median of €2,390 (≈ $2,683 USD), with the middle half starting between €2,000 and €2,940; most of those packages include the hotel and airport transfers. Whether the difference is worth a 4.5-hour flight depends on three things the price tags don't show: who performs each step, what is included, and how many grafts you actually need.
What Dublin clinics publish
Foxpare records only prices that a clinic states on its own website, quoted as written, with the page and the date. We do not calculate a "Dublin average" — five clinics are not a market — and a published range is not a quote: every clinic below says the final figure depends on your consultation.
| Clinic (own website) | Published price, as stated | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ailesbury Hair Clinic — 19 Fleming Place, Dublin 4 | "FUE hair transplant procedures generally range from €4,000 to €7,500"; "eyebrow and sideburn transplants typically range from €2,000 to €3,500" | Price range; tax not stated on the price page |
| MHR Clinic — 32 Dawson Street, Dublin 2 | "1-day FUE Hair Transplantation procedures starting from €3500 with guaranteed results"; the page meta-description states "1-day FUE Hair Transplantation procedures starting at €2800 and up to €4800" | Starting price; body and page description differ; tax not stated |
| Vinci Hair Clinic Dublin — Dublin 2, street address not stated on the price page | "Surgery starts from €3,500 and is priced by the size of the procedure (Small, Medium, Large, or Max) — not the graft count. We do not price graft-by-graft because the exact number is only confirmed once extraction begins." | Priced by procedure size; tax not stated |
| Tir na nÓg Clinic — address not stated on the price page | "Hair transplant procedure costs, range between €2,000 - €5,000 depending on how many grafts you need." | Price range; individual case examples shown from €2,270 to €3,500; no address on the page |
| KSL Clinic (Dublin) — Unit C15 The Exchange, Calmount Park, Ballymount, Dublin 12 | "Hair transplants in Dublin can cost anything from approximately €3,000 for more precise, smaller hair transplants to roughly €8,500 for transplants covering a larger area" | Phrased as a general Dublin range ("can cost anything from"), not an explicit own-price list; finance figures GBP only |

What Turkish clinics publish
As of 4 October 2026, 38 clinics on Foxpare publish an all-in package price (the remaining providers quote after a consultation). Entry prices run from €891 to €4,500; the overall median is €2,350 (≈ $2,638). For Istanbul alone — 33 of those clinics — the median entry price is €2,390 (≈ $2,683) and the middle half start between €2,000 and €2,940. The published Istanbul packages are typically priced per procedure rather than per graft, and most include the hotel stay and airport–hotel–clinic transfers; what each one includes is listed per package on the price index.
Two things Turkish prices do not tell you, and that we show separately: who performs each step — of the 50 providers that publish package details, 11 state on their own site who opens the channels, extracts or places the grafts; the other 39 do not say — and the clinic's Ministry of Health record status (listed facility, authorised agency, or no match). Turkish law reserves channel opening to a physician and allows certified assistants to extract and place grafts under supervision; the rules are explained article by article in our guide to Turkey's hair transplant regulation.
Comparing like with like
- Per graft vs per package. Dublin clinics publish ranges or starting prices per procedure, and one says it does not price graft-by-graft; Istanbul packages are mostly flat prices with a graft limit or "any graft count". Ask both for a written quote at your graft count, including every fee.
- Tax. VAT is not charged on medical services in Ireland; none of the five price pages mentions it. Turkish package prices on Foxpare are the amounts the clinics publish; ask whether anything is added at payment.
- Travel. Dublin has non-stop flights to Istanbul (about 4.5 hours). Add the fare, the days off work and a companion if you want one; most Istanbul packages include 2–3 hotel nights and transfers, which Dublin quotes do not need to.
- Follow-up. Revision or touch-up work is easier locally. Ask any Turkish clinic what happens, and who pays, if you need a correction.
- The surgeon. In Ireland you can check a doctor on the Medical Council of Ireland register (medicalcouncil.ie) and ISHRS membership at ishrs.org. In Turkey, ask for the physician's name and certificate and check the facility's Ministry record on Foxpare.
The HSE and hair transplants
The HSE does not fund cosmetic hair transplantation; the full cost is out of pocket whether you choose Dublin or Istanbul. That is why it is worth comparing total out-of-pocket cost — procedure, travel and follow-up — rather than the headline figure.
Questions to ask both clinics
- What is the total price at my graft count, including tax, medication and aftercare?
- Which physician opens the channels, and who extracts and places the grafts?
- How many operating rooms is that physician responsible for on the day?
- What is included in the package — hotel nights, transfers, PRP — and what is not?
- If I need a correction, what is the policy and the cost?
