Houston Rockets Partner with Europe’s Leading Hair Transplant Center, Vera Clinic

Houston, TX – July 2025

In a partnership that bridges continents, the Houston Rockets have officially teamed up with Vera Clinic, one of Europe’s most recognized names in hair transplantation and regenerative medicine. The collaboration, announced for the 2025–2026 NBA season, makes Vera Clinic the team’s exclusive and trusted hair transplant partner.

For U.S. audiences, especially Texans familiar with the rising trend of health tourism, the move introduces a new player in the field of cosmetic medicine: a clinic that’s earned global trust through science, safety, and results.

Bringing Global Recognition to Turkish Medical Innovation

Based in Istanbul, Türkiye, Vera Clinic has spent over a decade building its name in advanced hair restoration. In 2021, it was awarded the European Medicine Award, recognizing its work in clinical safety, trust, transparent care, and invasive innovation.

More than 40,000 patients from 80+ countries have already walked through its doors — many drawn by its signature methods like Sapphire FUE, a micro-precision transplant technique, and Oxycure™ Therapy, a post-surgical healing protocol involving hyperbaric oxygen chambers that accelerate recovery.

Why Houston — and Why Now? 

As of 2023, the U.S. medical tourism market is valued at $5.3 billion, with patients increasingly seeking alternatives for elective procedures, particularly in cosmetic and aesthetic fields. Hair transplant procedures in the U.S. can cost anywhere from €10,000 to €20,000, while in Türkiye, even with luxury standards, they range between €2,000 and €6,000, often including accommodation and aftercare.

Texas, with its strong healthcare culture and proximity to Latin America and Europe, has emerged as a growing hub for outbound medical travelers.

For fans, it’s more than a logo. It’s a signal that the institutions they support also support evidence-based, trusted and globally respected healthcare.

What It Means for Turkish Health Tourism

This moment is bigger than a business deal. It reflects a shift in how Türkiye is being seen on the global healthcare map.

Once known mainly for budget-friendly treatments, Turkey is now attracting international attention for its medical quality, innovative procedures, and certified specialists; particularly in the fields of cosmetic surgery, hair restoration, and regenerative therapy.

Here’s why this partnership matters:

• It builds global trust. A collaboration with an NBA team puts Turkish medicine on a world stage.
• It highlights innovation. Showcases Turkish contributions to medical science, like Sapphire FUE and Oxycure™.
• It opens new markets. American patients, once hesitant about traveling for care, are now seeing Türkiye as a high-trust, high-tech option.
• It repositions the narrative. Turkey isn’t just affordable, it’s advanced.
• It fuels national growth. As of 2024, Türkiye’s medical tourism sector contributes over $2.5 billion annually, with projections estimating a 20% increase by 2026, fueled by cross-border partnerships and international certifications.

“Partnering with the Houston Rockets is a reflection of what we’ve built over the last decade,” said the CEO of Vera Clinic. “From day one, we’ve prioritized transparency, science, and ethical care. To be acknowledged by an institution like the Rockets means our standard is global.”
