Dr. Koray Erdogan Hair Transplant,
founder and leading surgeon for ASMED Medical Center with surgical facilities located at Küçükbakkalköy Mh., Atilla Ilhan Cd, 34750 Istanbul, Turkey.
In recent years, Turkey has become one of the most popular hair restoration destinations in the world thanks a few top quality first class clinics in the territory such as ASMED Medical Center, founded by world renowned hair transplant surgeon Dr. Koray Erdogan with a team of 4 other doctors and over 20 professional staff.
After graduating in 1994 from the Faculty of Medicine at Hacettepe University (Ankara) and completing his medical residency, Dr. Erdogan attended the Faculty of Thoracic Surgery at Marmara University of Istanbul and worked in a Coronary Intensive Care Unit before focusing on hair restoration as his main career objective.
For well over a decade, Dr. Erdogan has earned himself a highly regarded reputation as one of the pioneers and forerunners in advanced hair transplantation treatments with a lifelong passion in offering his patients the most cutting edge and proven treatments for hair loss. His professional affiliations include European Society of Hair Restauration Surgery (ESHRS), International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) as well as Italian Society Hair Restoration (ISHR).
Presently, Dr. Koray Erdogan's ASMED Medical Center is one of the very few FUE exclusive clinics in the world. The focus on FUE speaks volume about Dr. Erdogan's dedication and commitment to offering a minimally invasive treatment option that is in the best interest of hair loss sufferers. FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction and is currently the most sought after alternative to traditional strip technique. While there are many doctors and clinics who claim to offer FUE in order to stay competitive in the industry and keep up with the demand, there are very few truly experienced FUE clinics that offer this technique as an exclusive procedure..
Dr. Erdogan's resume and credentials are well represented by his participation in various professional bodies whose objectives are to further research and development in new hair restoration techniques. Below are some of Dr. Erdogan's recent participation & involvement in some of the high profile events around the world:
- European Hair Transplant Workshop sponsored by ISHRS and hosted by Dr. Jean Devroye in Brussels. The objective is to examine the complementary nature of Follicular Unit Hair Transplant (FUT) and FUE techniques through live surgical procedures to demonstrate that both methods are complementary and have their advantages. The event is also attended by other world renowned honorary faculty members including Dr. John Cole, Dr. Harris, Dr. Ronald Shapiro, Dr. Bradley Wolff.
- 2nd Mediterranean FUE Workshop in Madrid.
- 21st Annual Meeting of ISHRS (Workshop) in San Francisco .
- Italian Society Hair Restoration (ISHR) Workshop in Sicíly.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) hair treatment - Besides FUE procedure, Dr. Koray Erdogan's ASMED clinic is also one of the first clinics in Europe to offer the latest Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) hair treatment. This is another testament to Dr. Erdogan's commitment in pursuing the most innovation techniques and treatments for his patients. PRP uses the patient's own blood as growth factors and is currently being experimented as a treatment for thinning hair as well as to speed up the healing and recovery of hair transplants. The protocol is very non invasive and can be administered very easily without having to subject the patient to surgery. While this treatment is still experimental, some doctors and clinics in the US have reported encouraging results for their patients.
