The Èlan difference

More clarity, from your first question to your next step

Whether you are waiting for answers from an MRI or considering hair restoration, you deserve to know who reviews your results, what comes next and what your care costs.

Start with diagnostics

A clearer path to diagnostic answers

Facing a long wait for answers? Èlan coordinates a standalone diagnostic service in China starting from C$199. Ask about MRI, CT and colonoscopy where appropriate. A treating doctor reviews your results, with an English-language copy available to discuss with your Canadian family doctor. Confirm the scan, price and appointment timing for your own plan before travelling.

China · with Èlan

Explore a coordinated diagnostic plan, appointment options and physician review. We confirm your tests and full quote before booking.

Turkey

For hair restoration, compare the cost below. For diagnostics, check each provider's imaging, clinical review and follow-up separately.

Canada

Publicly funded care may be available depending on eligibility and referral. Waits vary by region and urgency; ask your clinician about your options.

Timing and tests depend on your needs and availability. The starting price does not include a specified scan.

Compare hair restoration costs

With Èlan, the published hair transplant price includes the procedure, a three-night hotel stay and transportation. Compare the whole plan, not just the headline number.

China · with Èlan: C$2,680
Turkey: ≈ C$5,000
Canada: C$8,000+

Illustrative planning estimates, not like-for-like provider quotes. Prices and inclusions vary; ask for a personal quote before deciding.

What a price never tells you

What the price actually includes

A headline number is only comparable if you know what sits behind it. Ask any provider — in any country — what the quote covers: the procedure, the assessment, aftercare, and anything to do with travel or accommodation. Èlan's C$2,680 hair transplant package includes the procedure, a 3-night hotel stay and transportation. Flights and optional extras are separate, and your complete quote is confirmed before booking.

The surgeon, specifically

Èlan is a coordinator, not a clinic. Know how many times your surgeon has performed your specific procedure, giving you a clearer picture of their relevant experience. We tell you which facility and specialist you are being matched with before you commit to anything.

Communication across a language gap

Clear communication matters at every stage of treatment abroad. Your point of contact is a Canadian registered nurse, bilingual in English and Chinese, and full English–Chinese support continues on the ground — so you can ask questions before, during, and after your visit.

Travel, recovery, and getting home

A trip is more than a procedure. Consider how travel and accommodation are arranged, how recovery is supported before you fly, and what follow-up looks like once you are back in Canada. Recovery timelines and any fitness to travel are decided by the treating clinician, not fixed to an itinerary.

Continuity and custom diagnostics

The same nurse stays your point of contact throughout, and diagnostic screening can be tailored to what you and the treating clinician think is worthwhile — rather than a fixed panel everyone is sold.

Follow-up through your first year

Care does not end when you fly home. We coordinate post-op follow-up at multiple checkpoints throughout your first year, with your Canadian registered nurse as your point of contact and reviews coordinated with the treating team. The schedule is tailored to your procedure; clinical advice remains with the treating clinician. This does not replace urgent or local medical care.
