You can do a search on their website or ask AI to compile the information for you if you are not sure. I believe @smolcat22is correct, most offer free virtual ones.

This is something I don't see mentioned enough. A friend of mine has one of these cards and you are able to use it for anything medical related. She actually uses it for her dog since he has special medical needs. So you could absolutely use it for overseas plastic surgery expenses!

I mean I am not seeing any mention of this. It could be due to my location but even the AI in the browser search is saying there is no connection with this doctor.

Don't most people go to Turkey for hair transplants though? At least that is what I have gathered online, because it is very cheap there.

I was just reading about them. I have never heard of this before and I don't see it being offered anywhere locally. I am wondering if this is something new and trendy or if it is called something else depending on where you go? It looks interesting.

I guess this is fine if you don't mind spending more or can afford to spend more. I am sure other countries have options like this too. But for most people going to Korea, they are going to save money so this doesn't really help with that!

Factory clinics are scammy and scummy. Even if they do provide good results for less, most of them are just after a quick buck and there are so many health hazards involved. I would avoid them entirely. I read some horror stories online about botched operations at these places and going to sue or report them, and the clinics just vanish like a ghost doctor or someting!

There are tons of clinics that offer this, even if they do not state that they do. I recently saw people talking about pop plastic surgery in a group chat I am a part of, mentioning profile enhancement, reach out to them.

I didn't know they actually use threads! That is interesting. I will have to see if I can find a video of it being done. Now I am curious. It sounds like a great option for younger people looking to get minimal work done.

Have you tried asking in the Discord? This is a more niche of a thing to travel for I think. A lot of people travel to Korea for eye, nose, jaw, and lip work. Some people go for general skin issues and hair issues but because these tend to need multiple visits, it is stuff people get locally more often than not.

Someone I chat with now and then in a Facebook group has gone to Hollywood Smiles. She seemed to like it but I can't recommend it without any personal experience. It does help to know someone though that has gone.

I know in Mexico it costs between $2,000 and $6,000 per session. And I think most people need at least 3 sessions. I think it is done every 6 weeks, then once your boosting sessions are done, you do it once a year for maintenance.

I wouldn't go by this. Cities are very popular and busy all around the world. You have to account for things like road work, accidents, public events, etc. and I would not risk staying too far from whatever clinic I would be going to.

I'll post a breif summary of what it is below to give you a better understanding of what it is. It is becoming more and more popular, especially for female hair loss : Stem cell scalp treatments are minimally invasive therapies designed to reactivate dormant hair follicles and promote natural hair regrowth by injecting mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into the scalp. These cells are typically harvested from the patient’s own fat tissue or scalp biopsy, processed to isolate stem cells and growth factors, and then injected into thinning areas. The treatment is primarily indicated for mild to moderate hair loss (up to stage 3 on the Norwood scale for men and stage 2 for women) and works by releasing bioactive molecules that stimulate vascularization and reduce inflammation. Key benefits include minimal downtime (1–2 days), no risk of rejection when using autologous cells, and results that typically become visible within 3–6 months.

YES! I was looking into these options myself. My husband's co-worker has a wife that got Botox injections done for her scalp. She had lost hair after having covid-19 and it never came back. So she found a clinic last year that offers it. Within 6 months her hair had filled back in. I saw the pictures!
