• Estheticare also has branches in Dubai and London for an initial conversation before you commit to travel.

Why overseas Pakistanis choose Estheticare Islamabad

A large share of the patients at Estheticare Boutique Clinic (our affiliated partner clinic) live abroad, in the UK, UAE, Saudi Arabia, USA and Canada, and choose Islamabad over a local clinic or a Turkey package for a mix of reasons: familiar language, a PMDC-registered, surgeon-led team (Dr. Ozair Khan, Dr. Muhammad Bilal and Dr. Umar Khan), a dedicated sterile hair transplant theatre with single-use punches, and 926 Google reviews rated Excellent (4.8) from over 1,500 hair patients treated.

Estheticare also has branches in Dubai and London, so you can have an initial conversation close to home before committing to the trip. Compare this with how patients from other cities in Pakistan plan their visit.

Timing your visit around a family trip

Most overseas patients book their hair transplant to coincide with a family visit to Pakistan, weddings, Eid or summer holidays are common, since it means no extra time off work purely for the procedure. The clinic recommends confirming your surgery date at least a few weeks ahead so it doesn't clash with family commitments, and building in a rest day or two before flying back, especially if your trip also involves other travel around Pakistan.

Because follow-ups at 10 days, 3, 6 and 12 months can be done over WhatsApp, you don't need to be in Pakistan for every check-in, only the surgery itself needs an in-person visit.

Cost in PKR, GBP, USD and AED

FUE at Estheticare starts from PKR 180,000, all-inclusive of surgeon fee, local anaesthesia, medicines, aftercare kit and follow-ups. At approximate exchange rates of PKR 280 per USD, PKR 355 per GBP and PKR 76 per AED, that's roughly USD 640, GBP 505 or AED 2,365, figures that are approximate and worth confirming on the day, since rates move.

Compared with Turkey, where 2,500 grafts run USD 2,000 to 4,000 plus flights and hotel with remote-only follow-up, or the UK, where prices run GBP 4,000 to 8,000, Islamabad is markedly cheaper even after flights are added. See the hair transplant cost guide for the full stage-by-stage breakdown in PKR.

Remote consultation from abroad via WhatsApp

Send clear photos to 0327 2101199, hairline from the front, crown from above, back of the head, and the team will give you an initial graft estimate and price range in PKR before you book flights. This works across time zones since it's asynchronous, review the photos, reply with an estimate, and you can ask follow-up questions whenever suits you. An in-person consultation on arrival in Islamabad confirms the final plan and surgery date.

Medical travel tips for your visit

Carry a printed or digital copy of your consultation notes and any medical history relevant to anaesthesia. Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medication in the days before surgery, as advised during your consultation, and expect some mild swelling and scabbing in the first 1 to 2 weeks, which is easy to manage while travelling in comfortable, loose headwear.

Since desk-based work is realistic within 2 to 3 days, some patients schedule a short adjustment period in Islamabad or with family before flying back to work overseas. Hotels around F-6, F-7 and Blue Area are close to the clinic and convenient for this stretch.

Aftercare and follow-ups once you're back overseas

Once you're back in London, Dubai, Riyadh, Toronto or wherever home is, follow-ups at 3, 6 and 12 months are handled over WhatsApp with photos, so ongoing care doesn't depend on another flight. Shedding in weeks 2 to 6 is normal and expected, new growth typically starts around month 3 to 4, and the full result is visible at 12 to 14 months, all of which your surgeon can track remotely.

If you're ever back in Pakistan and want an in-person check, the Islamabad clinic is available any time.
