I thank them for the invitation and their whole team for their kindness during my staying at the clinic.

(EXAMPLES OF HAIRLINE DESIGN) - Huge documentation about our works available on the Web. - Patients’ personal assistance and care: before, during and after the operation, thanks to our numerous and multilingual staff. OUR FARES AND SERVICES: - Operation price: 2.5 Euro / graft, that is for each transplanted follicular unit. Price is the same for every Country, Turkish market included. - Services: 300 Euro (lump sum). Services are mandatory for every international patient. They include: transports from airports to the clinic (or the validated hotel) and vice versa, the personal assistant and translator during consultation and operation days, meals in the Clinic during the operation days for the patient and his possible partner and, in the end, any necessary product for the post-operation time. - PRP: 300 Euro (optional). PRP treatment is a medical procedure known since the Seventies, with a proved efficiency in promoting tissues regeneration. It consists in the taking of about 10 CC of patient’s blood, which is treated by means of a specific machine. Through its centrifugation we get a high-density platelet gel, able to release regrowth factors. During our operations, PRP gel is injected in the recipient area and applied to the donor. Injected plasma will stimulate stem cells, while platelets enriched with plasma will have a restoring effect on scalp during the post-surgical period, accelerating healing time and alleviating cutaneous problems such as itching and desquamation. In our clinic PRP treatment is optional: patients can choose it or not; however, it will be applied if the Doctor will consider it strictly necessary. Fares are not negotiable and we don’t offer discounts. Discounts are offered just for operations over burnt tissues and other special conditions (at the Clinic discretion).(Operation over burn scar tissue) DR KORAY ERDOGAN TECHNICAL INFORMATION MANUAL PUNCH, MICROMOTOR: In our Clinic we exclusively use the Manual Punch to extract the follicular units from the patient’s donor area. This instrument is mainly composed by two parts, that is a metal handle to which is applied a cylindrical blade, empty in its central part, with a diameter of less than 1 mm. Compared to electric extraction tools (“micromotor”), the manual punch allows a better sensibility for the operator and a minor trauma during follicular unit extraction. This is focused to obtain FUE grafts of a better quality and, consequently, more satisfying results for a wider number of patients. A Motorized Punch is also a tool used to extract follicular units from the patient’s donor area, composed by a cylindrical blade empty in its central part. In this case the “punch” is not applied to a manual handle, but to a small electric motor that is activated by a button or pedal. Benefits related to this kind of tool are: a minor experience and manual skills are required for its use and a superior extraction speed for an inexpert operator. However, its use entails a greater trauma for the extracted graft, for the skin and for patient’s donor area. Moreover, with the motorized punch it is impossible to make an efficient use of the donor area, therefore patients with extended baldness will not have sufficient, available resources to obtain an ideal result. Again, doubts have been raised about the hygiene of this tool, which is inclined to scatter a nebulization of patient’s blood. LATERAL SLIT, SAGITTAL SLIT: “Lateral Slit” is the incision technique used in every our surgery. During this procedure, the incision is performed using the blade with a 90-degree angle over the coronal level, that is an imaginary line which “connects” patient’s lateral sides of the head. Operating this way, incisions look like small pockets in which follicular units will be inserted during the next phase of the surgery. Trauma is minimum and patient’s skin perfectly covers the follicular unit. It is also possible to set easily the correct exit direction of the hair. The “Sagittal Slit” term refers to another incision technique, which is NOT used in our operations. In this case the blade is used with a 35-45 degree angle over patient’s sagittal level (an imaginary line between the forehead and the backside part of the head). The following phase, implantation, turns out to be easier for the operator; however, skin trauma is greater. Therefore, there is the creation of a greater quantity of scar tissue, with negative consequences regarding the result of the operation. The covering of transplanted grafts isn’t optimal as in the Lateral Slit, and it turns also out to be less efficient in creating a correct exit direction of the hair from the skin.

Senior Member ASMEDMANUALFUE Posted April 15, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 15, 2014 . Dr Koray Erdogan - Biography Dr Koray Erdogan graduated in 1994 at the Hacettepe University (Ankara), Faculty of Medicine, and completed his compulsory medical service in Kastamonu. Afterwards he attended the Faculty of Thoracic Surgery at the Marmara University of Istanbul and worked in a Coronary Intensive Care Unit. He started in the field of hair restoration in 2000, assisting several hair surgeons in their private clinics. In 2001, he opened his own clinic in Istanbul – ASMED – with his first assistant Dilek Cakir. He started to perform FUE in 2004 by combining both FUT + FUE techniques. In 2005 he realized that FUE patients with similar results than FUT ones were even happier, because of the minor trauma and the less visible scar with short hair. In 2006 he developed his own FUE tools and method of grafts extraction, named “DES” (also known as ‘SEQUENTIAL TECHNIQUE’, published by FUE Research Committee of International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery in November/December 2013). Currently Dr Erdogan is performing only FUE procedures in ASMED Medical Center in Istanbul, with the assistance of 4 other doctors and 20 nurses. Most of his patients are coming from all over the world: 90% of them are from Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Sweden, Canada, United States and Australia.
