Medical Specialty
The official medical specialty is recorded separately from hair transplantation. “Hair Transplant Specialist” is not used as a medical specialty; it describes a clinical focus or role, not a Turkish residency branch.
Credential Membership
No accepted hair-restoration credential membership has yet been verified for this profile.
Techniques
Technique labels are tracked separately from medical specialty and operative responsibility. A check mark identifies a technique verified in the current research record; a question mark means it has not yet been verified for this doctor.
Doctor Involvement
These five stages are tracked separately. A check mark means the doctor’s personal involvement is verified; a question mark means the public evidence is not yet sufficient to confirm that stage.
Procedures
Procedure types are shown only where the doctor's current record supports them. Unverified beard, eyebrow or revision work remains marked with a question mark rather than being inferred from clinic-wide services.
Biography and Medical Education
Dr. Çağla Yüksel is an Istanbul-based general practitioner and independent hair-transplant and medical-aesthetics physician working at Özel İstanbul Vita Clinic Polikliniği through Longevita.
Yüksel moved from Istanbul to Bulgaria at age 18 and completed a six-year medical degree at Trakia University Faculty of Medicine in Stara Zagora, graduating in 2012. No completed formal residency specialty is published, so the directory classifies her as General Practitioner.
She began as an emergency physician at Taksim Training and Research Hospital, then worked as a medical-unit manager and occupational physician before moving into medical aesthetics and hair restoration.
Her current profile describes her as an independent clinician performing FUE, Sapphire FUE and DHI at Özel İstanbul Vita Clinic Polikliniği. It lists hair-transplant certificates from Rauf Denktaş University in 2022, Biruni University in 2023 and SANATDER training.
Education and career chronology
Current practice and evidence context
Current Longevita procedure pages state that the independent clinician performs recipient incisions in FUE-type surgery and uses the Choi pen to insert grafts in DHI, while technicians load pens and surgical assistants help with other stages. Supervision, Channel Opening and Implantation are verified for the published model; Hairline Design and Extraction remain not yet verified.
