New Law in Turkey requires that only doctors to do hair transplants

The new law in Turkay is that if you perform hair transplantation and are not a licensed doctor (plastic surgeon, dermatologist, or medical esthetic certified doctor (you will be sentenced to 1-3 years of imprisonment, and all health institutions that provide space to them or rent operating rooms to them will pay a penalty of $8000 US. Technicians will be restricted to only implanting grafts.

I received this information from a reputable blog site.  There is so much money each year coming into Turkey, it is hard to imagine that such a law will be enforced. For those reading this blog, please let me know if your surgeries were cancelled in Turkey by emailing me to williamrassman33@gmail.com.

Significance as quoted by Ali Emre Ksaradeniz:  “Turkey would lose 99% of its hair transplant market. 99% of the hair clinics would go bankrupt. The health Tourism wound collapse. Millions of people would lose their jobs. Some of them including techs, would lose jobs permanently.  Thousand of licenses given would lose their relevance. At least $1 Billion come into Turkey would vanish into thin hair. The black market wound find a new location in the world.”

Do you think that this is the government’s plan?
