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.

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.
Operating Model
For someone comparing hands-on models, the important feature is the published division of work. Keep the responsibilities of Demirsoy and the rest of the team distinct when asking about implantation, graft handling and follow-up.
Armamed's biography records Gazi medical education in 1987–1993, compulsory-service appointments and later work at Heybeliada. It describes starting hair surgery in 2000, founding Armamed in 2004 and moving from FUT to FUE in 2005. The biography's reference to hospital specialization alone is insufficient here to establish a completed, named residency specialty.
This is an operating-model classification, not a quality ranking, safety guarantee or recommendation. The actual team can vary by date, package and patient.
Biography and Medical Education
Dr. Erkan Demirsoy is an Istanbul-based Chest Diseases specialist, founder of Armamed Hair Clinic and a hair-restoration physician whose official biography documents hair-surgery practice from 2000.
Demirsoy was born in Gaziantep in 1969 and studied at Gazi University Faculty of Medicine from 1987 to 1993. After medical graduation, he completed compulsory public service in Muş in 1994–1995 and in Pamukova, Adapazarı, in 1995–1996.
From 1996 to 2000 he completed specialty training at Heybeliada Chest Diseases and Chest Surgery Training and Research Hospital. The directory therefore records his formal specialty as Chest Diseases; hair restoration is a later area of surgical practice rather than the name of that residency specialty.
He began hair surgery at a private Istanbul clinic in 2000, joined ISHRS in 2003, received FUE training from Alex Ginzburg in 2004 and completed Ministry of Health Medical Aesthetic Application training in the same year.
Demirsoy founded Armamed in 2004. The clinic states that he initially performed FUT and changed to FUE in 2005, using either manual punch or micromotor extraction according to the case and patient preference.
The current Armamed biography explicitly attributes treatment planning, hairline design, graft extraction and channel opening to Demirsoy. Implantation is not attributed to him in the same stage-specific wording and remains unverified.

Current practice and evidence context
Armamed's current physician biography directly assigns planning, hairline design, graft extraction and recipient-channel opening to Demirsoy. Supervision, Hairline Design, Extraction and Channel Opening are therefore verified; Implantation remains not yet verified.
Questions about Erkan Demirsoy
These answers use the education, workplace, credential and operative-role fields currently recorded for Erkan Demirsoy. They do not inherit claims made for other doctors at the same clinic.
Which stages does Erkan Demirsoy personally perform?
Armamed's physician page names planning, hairline design, extraction and channel opening. Confirm that allocation for your procedure and ask separately who implants and handles the grafts.
Does the published FUE history mean he currently offers FUT?
Historical experience with a technique does not establish current availability. Ask what harvesting method is proposed for you; avoid selecting a present-day technique solely because it appears in a career history.
Is Armamed's doctor-involvement description an independent audit?
No. It is a specific statement by the provider. Specificity makes the statement useful for consultation and comparison, but this directory has not observed every procedure or audited the clinic's results.
How can I compare a Demirsoy review with my own treatment plan?
Record the date, donor and recipient areas, graft count and who performed placement. Then compare the proposed workflow, not just a favourable photograph. Missing follow-up and different starting conditions can make apparently similar cases difficult to compare.
What the public record establishes for Erkan Demirsoy
We separate official records, provider claims and patient testimony. Discussion themes describe what is publicly documented; they are not findings of clinical fault or proof of treatment quality.
A stage-specific statement patients can check
Armamed names several personal responsibilities instead of relying only on a doctor portrait. A patient can use that wording to ask for an equivalent written allocation in the treatment proposal.
