2006
September - 2006
The beginning
Beauty Travels 24 was founded in 2006 - with a clear goal: to enable patients access to state-of-the-art eye laser technology in Istanbul. Firm partnerships were established with the first partner clinics, marking the start of a new era in health tourism.
The first organized group trips laid the foundation for a new form of patient tourism – medical quality at the highest level, combined with perfect travel organization.
September - 2008
Opening of the first consulting center in Germany
With the opening of the first specialized consulting center in Rastatt, Beauty Travels 24 set benchmarks. For the first time, patients could inform themselves personally, transparently, and in German on site. A milestone that guaranteed trust and safety even before the trip.
At the same time, the range of treatments was expanded – hair transplants as well as plastic and aesthetic surgery were added. Introduction: No advance payment – full transparency, so that patients can pay on-site and first convince themselves of quality and trust in peace.
September - 2012
TÜV certification
As the first agency in the field of health tourism, Beauty Travels 24 received the TÜV certification for service quality – an independently tested quality promise that is renewed annually to this day. This step made Beauty Travels 24 synonymous with tested quality and reliability.
The following years were characterized by expansion: dental aesthetics, dermatology treatments, and gastric reduction were added to the portfolio.
January - 2014
International expansion
The network of partner clinics grew steadily. All clinics are certified by TÜV, ISO, or JCI. At the same time, patient care has been expanded to five languages – German, English, French, Italian, and Spanish.
In addition, exclusive partner hotels were added to combine the highest medical standards with comfort and service.
September - 2018
New service standards
With Europe-wide Park & Fly, VIP transfers with free Wi-Fi and free services for companions, Beauty Travels introduced 24 new service standards.
Patients have since benefited from a comprehensive care package that goes far beyond mere treatment.
May - 2021
Introduction of aftercare insurance
Beauty Travels 24 tightened the aftercare packages and introduced comprehensive insurance for all patients.
This ensures that any intervention is secured not only during the stay in Istanbul but also after returning – a crucial contribution to maximum safety.
January - 2026
Today – Over 20 Years of Experience
Over 60,000 successfully organized treatments, a well-coordinated team of doctors with over 15 years of collective experience, and TÜV-certified service make Beauty Travels 24 one of the leading pioneers in international health tourism today.
Patients rely on certified quality, modern technology, and transparent costs – without advance payments, with flexible financing options, and in their mother tongue.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the requirements for a gastric reduction intervention?
Surgical therapy is the only effective long-term treatment for pathological overweight in patients with a body mass index > 35 and the corresponding comorbidities. However, different medical prerequisites must be met for a procedure for each patient. These include aspects such as weighing the surgical risk, the ability to cooperate, consent for the necessary lifelong follow-up care, and the expressed willingness to adhere to dietary requirements.
Does the health insurance cover a gastric bypass surgery?
The costs for gastric reduction surgeries are only covered by health insurance in exceptional cases. The hurdles for this are high: The patient must have a BMI of at least 40 or have had a BMI of 35 with concurrent secondary illnesses for more than three years. To receive coverage, the patient must submit a request together with the doctor, which must include a medical certificate.
What is the liquid phase before the operation about?
This refers to the preparation phase involving high-protein liquid food. This liquid phase typically lasts from 10 to 14 days before the operation. The goal of this measure is to achieve a weight reduction of several kilograms, which is intended primarily to reduce the size of the liver. An extended liquid phase is only carried out for a body mass index > 45. Essentially, it is about ensuring that the stomach is well emptied and, as much as possible, the intestines are cleared.
What preliminary examinations are carried out before the operation in the hospital?
This primarily includes very comprehensive laboratory examinations and, if not already done, an endoscopy. ECG and X-ray examinations are carried out at the request of the anesthesia team; in individual cases, a pulmonary function test may also be conducted. Everything else depends on the personal risk profile.
Is a stomach operation dangerous?
Risks, as with all surgeries, cannot be ruled out. Anesthesia is riskier for overweight people than for those of normal weight. Since obese individuals often come with accompanying conditions such as heart or circulatory problems, the risk of infections or bleeding increases.
