ASMED Hair Transplant Clinic

ASMED Hair Transplant Clinic is a private surgical center in Istanbul's Ataşehir district. Dr. Koray Erdogan founded the facility in 2005. It focuses exclusively on hair restoration and follicular unit grafting. The clinic serves international patients seeking natural-looking results through specialized surgical protocols.

Specialized Medical Leadership

Founder Dr. Koray Erdogan leads the medical team and surgical planning. He graduated from Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine and trained at Marmara University. Dr. Erdogan has served as President of the World FUE Institute since 2018. He is a member of several international organizations:

• European Society of Hair Restoration Surgery
• Italian Society of Hair Restoration
• International Alliance of Hair Restoration Surgeons

He developed the Sequential or DES technique for graft extraction. This method lets the surgeon feel each follicle's path during harvesting. The medical team also attends international workshops, including hands-on AI training in Athens.

Hair Restoration Procedures

The clinic specializes in FUE hair transplantation through a multi-stage workflow. A pre-surgical meeting takes place one day before surgery. This session reviews patient data and finalizes the surgical plan. On procedure day, an anesthesiologist manages pain control based on individual needs. Surgeons use the Lateral Slit Technique for incisions.

This coronary incision method ensures hair grows at a pre-planned direction and angle. During implantation, the team uses the K.E.E.P. (Koray Erdogan Embedding Placer). This device inserts grafts with minimal tissue trauma. Results span Norwood categories 2 through 6, with documented cases involving over 5,500 grafts.

Advanced Technologies and Quality Control

ASMED uses proprietary AI and diagnostic systems to monitor graft viability. The KE Hair AI-Powered Donor Area Analysis Device and KE-BOT analyze the donor site before extraction. During surgery, the team uses the Mantis Microscope and cross-polarized magnifiers to assess graft quality.

Extracted grafts are stored in Custodiol, a hypothermic storage solution. An electric chilling device keeps the temperature between 0°C and 4°C. This cooling process preserves graft survival until placement. After surgery, patients receive a supervised first hair wash. This protects new grafts and supports scalp recovery.

International Patient Services

ASMED provides full support for patients traveling from abroad. Native-speaking staff help with communication throughout treatment. Online consultations let patients plan procedures from home. Support coordinators are available 24/7 for medical and logistical questions.

International services include:

• Private car transfers from the airport
• Accommodation in or near partnered hotels
• Interpreter services in English, Italian, German, Spanish, French, and Arabic
• Access to a recreation room with international TV and internet

Patients can also receive massage services during the operation for added comfort. The clinic provides one-on-one follow-up care to monitor hair growth after patients return home.
