Kaspar Kaljas, the former program leader of Kanal 2, discussed his experience with hair transplantation during an interview on Raadio 2's show 'R2 hommik!'. He recounted that he first noticed signs of hair thinning about ten years ago, with more significant changes occurring in the last five to six years. Fearing hair loss, he opted for a hair transplant treatment in Turkey, a country known for its affordability and efficiency in such procedures.

Kaljas emphasized the ease of access to hair transplant services in Turkey, stating that one can schedule a procedure with very little advance notice, often as soon as the next day after contacting a clinic. However, he cautioned that it is crucial for patients to conduct background research on the clinic they choose to ensure quality and safety. He humorously described the hair implantation process itself as daunting, comparing it to being hit 4800 times with a pen, referring to the meticulous and repetitive nature of the transplantation technique where each hair is individually implanted.

The cost of the procedure that Kaljas underwent was approximately 2500 euros, which he noted reflects the typical pricing for such treatments in Turkey. This highlights Turkey’s growing reputation as a destination for medical tourism, particularly for cosmetic surgeries and procedures like hair transplants. Kaljas' account not only offers a personal perspective on the experience but also serves as a recommendation for those considering hair restoration options.
