Why so many patients from Edinburgh choose Tirana

A 3,000-graft FUE Sapphire transplant costs £4,000-6,500 at a UK private clinic. In Tirana, £1,300-1,900 all-inclusive with hotel and transfer. For patients in Edinburgh with Norwood scale 3-4, travelling to Tirana is the most rational choice: half the price, modern techniques (DHI Choi pen, FUE Sapphire), completion guarantee if 12-month density falls short of expectations.

The 5 non-negotiable questions before booking

  1. Who specifically will be the surgeon / dentist responsible? What is their registration number on the Albanian Ministry of Health register?
  2. What brand of materials / implants / prostheses will you use? Can I see the lot certificate and CE mark before treatment?
  3. What does the written guarantee cover — duration, conditions, document in English?
  4. Can I see 5 before/after cases at 12 months by the specific surgeon (not generic clinic photos)?
  5. What's the final, fixed-price total in GBP or EUR? What extras might appear at checkout?
