How Much Does Acne Scar Treatment Cost in Turkey in AUD?

Acne scar treatment in Turkey typically costs from AUD $288 to AUD $1,008. The total price depends on the specific technique, the number of sessions, and the clinic location. In Australia, patients often pay around AUD $5,330, meaning they can save approximately 86% by choosing Turkish clinics. These prices generally cover the medical consultation, skin analysis, the procedure itself, and initial follow-up care.

  • Acne laser treatment: AUD $720 to AUD $1,008 per session for fractional or CO2 resurfacing.
  • Intense Pulsed Light (IPL): AUD $288 to AUD $576 to target redness and pigmentation.
  • Red light therapy: AUD $288 to AUD $576 for skin healing and inflammation reduction.
  • Medication therapy for acne: AUD $288 to AUD $720 for prescription-based clinical management.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Significant savings often come from choosing multi-modality approaches at established medical hubs. Anadolu Medical Center is accredited by JCI and affiliated with Johns Hopkins, providing high-standard combined protocols. Clinics like Quartz Hospital serve Australian patients and use advanced laser technologies from Tokyo and Taiwan. Specialist dermatologists like Dr. Makbule Dundar bring nearly 30+ years of experience to laser treatments. For the best value, consider Istanbul hubs where competition keeps prices lower than Australian clinic fees.

Data verified by Bookimed as of July 2026, based on patient requests and official quotes from 143 clinics worldwide. Median costs are based on real invoices (2025–2026) and updated monthly. Actual prices may vary.

I'm feeling better than expected so far
What really stood out was sitting with my doctor before the procedure. He personally performed the treatment, but first, he showed me before-and-after photos of cases similar to mine and clearly explained the specific depth and settings he would use for my skin. This gave me confidence. I had one Morpheus8 session for my neck and décolletage, and I'm feeling better than expected so far. The clinic staff have also stayed in touch, which is reassuring. Just be aware that I did have some additional expenses for injections that weren't in the initial price.

I had 4500 grafts transplanted
Honest review. Preparation before the operation first took place online with the manager (Yulia) . 24/7 in touch, Julia provided assistance in all matters that interest me regarding the operation. Having chosen the date of the operation, having bought tickets, I flew to Istanbul. There I was met by a transfer and taken to the hotel, which, accordingly, was reserved even earlier for me. The hotel is 5 stars, the room is very decent. Polite staff. Breakfast is also included. The next day, the operation (hair transplant) in the morning a car comes for me and we go to the clinic. First, I sign an agreement and they take a blood test from me. The haircut is already in the clinic, photographs are taken (as it was before and after) and we proceed to the operation itself. The clinic looks ordinary, not to say that it is super clean or very dirty. And now it's time for the operation itself. I will call it Turkish series. During the whole operation, employees talk about everything in the world. If only I had a couple more days like this and I would have learned Turkish (and this all happens above your head (30 cm). Anyone could come into the office at that time and some other doctors, employees, cleaning lady. The doctors themselves allow themselves to pick up the phone, talk. And this is all during the operation. Singing songs. Discussing series. Family problems. At some point, I would not be surprised if friends with a barbecue came to them, started making a barbecue, brought a toastmaster and played a wedding there. What can I say .... Turks (but in general, nice guys) I accepted it all, because I was worried about one thing - a good result. I had 4500 grafts transplanted. Now it’s too early to say, since only 10 days have passed after the transplant. I will write the 2nd review when there will be a 100% result. I was put on an almost tight bandage on the place of the donor zone, and taken to the hotel. The 2nd day is a rest. Having received all the recommendations, I of course (did not listen) and walked all day around Istanbul. On the 2nd day after the operation, I strongly recommend as much as possible o walk less. And then later you will look as if your head has been in evidence with bees. Strong puffiness. And the body really needs rest. 3rd day check out from the hotel, control head washing and then transfer to the airport. Everything is simple here, I checked out, they came and took me and took me to the clinic. They washed my hair (first lotion, then shampoo) and told in detail how it would be done at home and further care. They also gave lotion and shampoo as a gift)))) this procedure took half an hour maximum. And the last stage is transfer to the airport. The manager is in touch to the last, even after arriving home. This is not so that you came, paid - did the operation and you are no longer interesting to anyone. Attention, help, support at a high level) I recommend

Whether it's the doctors, nurses or reception staff, many other hospitals should take inspiration from the Turkish hospital model
The quality of the hospital service is second to none, with well-organised, highly competent services that are always available to patients. Whether it's the doctors, nurses or reception staff, many other hospitals should take inspiration from the Turkish hospital model. The hospitals are like luxury hotels, you feel good, you are looked after and followed throughout your stay. Finally, the money I spent there was really justified. Thank you to everyone who looked after me during my 14-day stay. Of course I recommend Istanbul Memorial Hospital. Antonio. M

If asked whether I would recommend the clinic, I would give it a clear 10 out of 10
My biggest concern was choosing the right surgeon, but this turned out to be completely unfounded. I felt very well looked after right from the first point of contact. The doctor took plenty of time for the consultation, and the whole team at the clinic were professional and very caring, which made the whole process very straightforward for me. Everything went smoothly. Although my recovery is still ongoing, I am extremely satisfied with the care and organisation so far. If asked whether I would recommend the clinic, I would give it a clear 10 out of 10.

The surgeon was fantastic, earning a full 5/5 from me
My biggest concern going into this was the recovery and if I would see real changes. The procedure itself was quick, involving two passes with the MOXI laser. My skin already feels smoother to the touch, and I can definitely see my dark spots fading, which is exactly what I hoped for. The surgeon was fantastic, earning a full 5/5 from me, and the clinic itself is pristine. The most difficult part has been the aftercare; strictly avoiding sun exposure is no joke. While the staff were professional, they could have been a bit more attentive, hence the 4/5 rating. Overall, it was a solid choice for the treatment.
The professionalism and cleanliness of the hospital and the friendly staff.
The price. It can be more affordable for a lot more people. It’s really too expensive for a simple treatment.

The clinic staff and surgeon were professional throughout the process
My main concern going into this was what the final result would feel like. I opted for a fat transfer, and the clinic staff and surgeon were professional throughout the process. The service was good. I'm still in the early stages of recovery, so I haven't tried any sexual activity yet. To be honest, my biggest recovery concern so far has been some uneven bumps, which makes the new girth feel slightly uneven at this point. I'm told this can be part of the healing process, so I'm waiting to see how things settle over time. The overall experience was satisfactory, with a capable team.

Her level of empathy was touching
My request was for a specific treatment for my condition, which I believe was triggered by COVID or vaccine-related complications. The treatment itself is relatively new and not widely available; however, the doctor Faturanız Hazırdır was open to considering my request, which was a decisive factor in choosing this hospital. Her level of empathy was touching. When I arrived, I received outstanding support from Aliser Durdiyev, who coordinated the entire process — from reception and medication procurement to scheduling the treatment. None of this would have been possible without Hanna Karvatska, who connected all of us who has deep personal and professional connection with people here, and I’m deeply grateful to her, Alisar, and the doctor for their support and professionalism. And special thanks for the empathy from all three people, the teamwork they created to get me what we all believe could be the best treatment.
About Bookimed service
Hanna is a remarkable individual with a big heart, dedicated to connecting patients with top-tier doctors and medical professionals across various countries. Her extensive network ensures that every partner and connection goes the extra mile to meet patient needs without hesitation. Aliser is a young but already experienced medical advisor. I was positevley surprised with approach. One of the most critical aspects of arranging medical treatment abroad is navigating logistics in an unfamiliar country. This is where Aliser's proactive approach truly stands out. His exceptional energy, personal connections, and unwavering curiosity to find the best solutions were decisive factors in my positive experience. Together, Hanna and Alisar helped to oerganise care and coordination, making the complex process of international medical treatment seamless and patient-focused.

My biggest concern before the procedure was just keeping the area protected during healing. The staff was fantastic.

I was in Istanbul for a holiday and decided to try Morpheus 8. While looking for a clinic I stumbled upon bookimed.com. I didn't have much time since I was due to fly to Cappadocia the next day. ALI, was very helpful and was able to book the procedure for me the following day. He quoted me a good price for both face and neck. On top of it, he went above and beyond. He met with me and accompanied me throughout the whole process. I really appreciate everything he had done. It made everything so smooth.

FAQ about Acne Scar Treatment in Turkey

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

Are the results of acne scar treatment in Turkey permanent?

Acne scar treatment results in Turkey are permanent. Procedures like fractional lasers and subcision physically remodel skin tissue. These methods stimulate long-term collagen production to fill deep depressions. The scars themselves are permanently improved. However, maintaining results requires a stable skincare routine to prevent new acne breakouts.

  • Treatment techniques: Specialists use fractional CO2 lasers, PRP therapy, and chemical peels to rebuild skin.
  • Session requirements: Deep scars often need several sessions for 80–90% permanent improvement.
  • Collagen remodelling: Results continue to improve for 3–6 months as new collagen fibres strengthen.
  • Combination therapy: Surgeons like Dr Leyla Arvas at Quartz Hospital often combine lasers with mesotherapy.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Laser results are lasting. However, patients often mistake temporary plumping from fillers for permanent change. For depressed scars, subcision offers a durable fix. Bundled fillers usually require A$300–A$1,000 top-ups every 12–18 months. Confirm if your plan relies on tissue remodelling or temporary volume.

Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey report significant confidence boosts. They see results build over 8–10 weeks. Most find long-term improvement worthwhile even if complete eradication takes multiple sessions.

Can acne scars be completely removed through treatment in Turkey?

Clinics in Turkey significantly reduce acne scars through laser therapies and dermatological procedures. Complete removal to 100% pre-acne skin is rarely possible. Most patients achieve dramatic improvements at JCI-accredited facilities. Scars often become barely visible using fractional laser resurfacing, chemical peels, and microneedling.

  • Treatment variety: Specialists use Pro yellow vascular lasers, Q-switched Nd:YAG, and IPL technologies.
  • Combination protocols: Doctors often combine subcision, fillers, and PRP therapy for deep pitted scars.
  • Expertise: Surgeons like Dr Leyla Arvas at Quartz Hospital have specialised training in laser microsurgery.
  • Clinical standards: Major centres such as Anadolu Medical Center maintain affiliation with Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Turkish clinics often achieve strong results by pairing medical dermatology with intensive regenerative therapies. While a single laser session might cost from $200, clinics like Quartz Hospital and Anadolu Medical Center frequently bundle mesotherapy or PRP with laser treatments. This helps accelerate healing and boost collagen production.

Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey highlight that results build gradually. The most noticeable changes typically occur after the second or third session. While treatments like ablative lasers involve redness and peeling, the softening of boxcar and rolling scars typically exceeds expectations.

What are the most effective methods for treating acne scars in Turkey?

Effective acne scar treatment in Turkey combines fractional laser resurfacing, subcision for deep scars, and TCA CROSS for ice-pick textures. Clinics like Memorial Sisli and Anadolu Medical Center use these methods to trigger collagen remodelling and smooth skin within JCI-certified facilities.

  • Laser resurfacing: Fractional CO2 lasers create micro-injuries to rebuild skin texture and volume.
  • Subcision: Surgeons manually break fibrous bands pulling down rolling or tethered scars.
  • TCA CROSS: Specialists apply high-strength acid into ice-pick scars to stimulate healing.
  • Dermal fillers: Injectables temporarily lift depressed areas for a smoother skin appearance.
  • Combined therapy: Clinics often pair subcision with fillers or lasers for better results.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Data from 390+ Turkish clinics reveals that the most successful outcomes stem from multi-modality plans. Specialists like Dr Leyla Arvas at Quartz Hospital often combine subcision with laser sessions. This approach addresses both deep structural tethering and surface irregularities in a single travel window.

Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey highlight the success of combining subcision with fillers for deep rolling scars. They recommend planning for downtime due to redness. They also suggest following strict post-procedure sun protection protocols.

How many sessions are typically required for acne scar treatment in Turkey?

Acne scar treatment in Turkey typically requires 3 to 6 sessions for non-surgical procedures. These include fractional lasers, microneedling, or radiofrequency. Deeper scars often need 10 to 12 sessions of combined treatments. Specialists may combine CO2 laser with PRP to achieve significant skin remodelling results.

  • Standard laser course: Most patients need 3 to 6 sessions for mild to moderate scarring.
  • Intensive treatment plans: Serious boxcar or ice-pick scars often require 10 to 12 appointments.
  • Treatment intervals: Specialists typically schedule sessions 3 to 4 weeks apart for skin healing.
  • Combination approaches: Doctors often use subcision, fillers, or mesotherapy alongside lasers for deeper scars.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Turkish dermatology centres often bundle laser treatments with PRP or mesotherapy to speed up healing. Leading clinics like Quartz Hospital and Memorial Şişli use these combinations. They find they stimulate collagen faster, which can reduces total sessions needed for stubborn scars.

Patient Consensus: Patients found that results improve gradually over several months as collagen builds. The experience in Turkey is positive when clinics provide clear timelines and aftercare support.

What aftercare is required following acne scar treatment in Turkey?

Aftercare for acne scar treatment in Turkey centres on strict sun protection and specialised skincare. Most procedures require a 3–10 day recovery period. Patients must avoid direct sunlight. Standard protocols include applying prescribed serums. Avoid strenuous activity or hot showers during the initial healing phase.

  • Sun protection: Apply high SPF sunscreen daily for at least 6 months after treatment.
  • Skincare routine: Use prescribed creams or ointments multiple times daily to support the skin barrier.
  • Activity limits: Avoid saunas, swimming, and heavy exercise for 7 days to prevent irritation.
  • Skin handling: Do not pick or scratch treated areas to allow proper collagen remodelling.
  • Follow-up visits: Attend scheduled appointments, often on day 5, for healing and result assessment.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Laser treatments at clinics like Quartz Hospital are often combined with PRP to speed up healing. Dr Leyla Arvas, who trained in Japan, uses these dual approaches to reduce redness and peeling. These symptoms are common after intensive fractional laser sessions.

Patient Consensus: Patients in Turkey highlight that redness and swelling are expected. These issues subside quickly with consistent moisturising. Most appreciate the helpful staff and advise following the clinical maintenance plan for 6 months.

Why is Turkey a popular destination for Australian residents seeking acne scar treatment?

Turkey attracts Australians with low prices for acne scar treatment, with costs from $200 to $700. Patients choose hubs like Istanbul for JCI-accredited facilities and specialised combination therapies. These include fractional lasers, subcision, and mesotherapy performed by dermatologists with international training.

  • Price advantage: Save up to 86% compared to the $3,700 Australian average for complex scar revisions.
  • Clinical excellence: Facilities like Memorial Şişli Hospital and Anadolu Medical Center hold JCI accreditation.
  • Expert specialists: Dr. Leyla Arvas at Quartz Hospital specialises in laser treatments and microsurgery.
  • Clinical techniques: Clinics offer protocols including Nd:YAG lasers, PRP, and deep chemical peels.
  • Australian support: Clinics such as Quartz Hospital frequently serve Australians and provide English-speaking staff.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Bookimed data shows Turkey is a global leader, serving over 144,000 requests for this procedure. One laser session in Australia often costs A$1,000. Turkish clinics like Medipol Acibadem offer specialist care from $500. This makes the required 3–5 sessions financially viable.

Patient Consensus: Australians find Turkey far more affordable for multi-step scar plans involving lasers and fillers. Patients value friendly clinic staff. However, they suggest checking pain relief options before undergoing intensive resurfacing sessions.
