Dr. Nesim Tugen Joins the ISHRS: Hermest Hair Clinic Takes Its Seat Among the World’s Hair Restoration Authorities
Co-Director of Hair Restoration Dr. Nesim Tugen has been admitted to the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, aligning Hermest Hair Clinic with the world’s foremost authority on physician-driven hair restoration.
ISTANBUL, Türkiye, October 28, 2026 (EZ Newswire) -- Dr. Nesim Tugen, Co-Director of Hair Restoration and Executive Clinical Lead at Hermest Hair Clinic, has been admitted as a member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) and represented the clinic at the society’s 34th World Congress, held Oct. 15–17, 2026, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. His admission places Hermest within the ranks of a global non-profit that unites more than 1,100 members across 70 countries and sets the medical standards for hair restoration worldwide.
This year’s Congress gathered under the theme “Where Integrity Meets Excellence,” a principle that ISHRS president Conradin von Albertini, MD, FISHRS, tied directly to physician-driven involvement from start to finish, the hands-on standard that sets ISHRS members apart. That standard is the foundation of Hermest’s practice. Under the doctor-led model of Dr. Nesim Tugen and Dr. Ahmet Murat, every operation is planned, supervised, and medically owned by the clinic’s surgeons rather than delegated to technicians. Dr. Nesim Tugen personally designs each hairline and opens the recipient channels for every patient.
Dr. Nesim Tugen brings more than 14 years of clinical experience and over 7,500 hair transplant operations to the society. Since 2022 he has concentrated his surgical practice exclusively on Follicular Unit Extraction, pushing the limits of tissue management, graft survival, and natural density. That focus is what allows Hermest’s proprietary Unique FUE® technique to achieve a graft survival rate above 95%, an outcome the clinic treats as the product of protocol rather than chance. Advanced tissue-regeneration treatments, delivered under the clinic’s All-In Safety Protocol™, support recovery in both the donor and recipient areas and protect that result.
“Integrity in hair restoration begins with the surgeon’s own hands,” said Dr. Nesim Tugen. “Joining the ISHRS affirms the principle that has guided Hermest from the start: lasting, natural results come from medical discipline, scientific rigour, and a doctor who stays responsible for the patient from the first graft to the final day of recovery.”
Hermest Hair Clinic’s standing is reinforced by its position as a Hair Transplant Doctor Training Academy approved by the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Health, the body that certifies surgeons permitted to perform hair transplantation in Türkiye. Through this academy, led by Dr. Nesim Tugen and Dr. Ahmet Murat, Hermest does not simply follow the standards of the field; it trains the doctors who uphold them. Dr. Nesim Tugen’s ISHRS membership extends that authority onto the international stage, connecting the clinic’s work in Istanbul to the global community shaping the future of hair restoration.
