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. Merdan Çelik is an Istanbul-based General Practitioner whose official clinic biography records hair-transplant practice since 2005 and a Ministry of Health medical-aesthetics certificate.
Çelik's official biography states that he graduated from Trakya University Faculty of Medicine in 1997 and began hair-transplant and hair-restoration work after experience in public and private clinics. It records work with an international migration organisation in the United States between 2003 and 2005 and hair-transplant practice from 2005 onward.
The same biography states that he received a Ministry of Health Medical Aesthetics Physician Certificate in 2005 and later chose to continue hair-restoration work instead of pursuing the neurosurgery residency place he won in the 2007 TUS examination.
His current Şişli clinic site publishes FUE, Sapphire FUE and DHI hair-transplant services and identifies him as the treating physician. No completed formal residency specialty is documented, so the directory uses General Practitioner.
Education and career chronology
Current practice and evidence context
The official clinic biography establishes a long-running FUE/Sapphire FUE/DHI hair-transplant practice. It does not assign each operative stage individually, so only Supervision is marked verified.
