Vera Clinic has announced plans for Vera Academy for hair transplantation, extending its Ministry-certified training legacy from plastic surgery into Turkey’s flagship specialty of hair restoration. The new academy, still finalizing its curriculum, will be the first dual-certified program in Turkey under both the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education, ensuring internationally aligned standards for doctors and greater confidence for American medical travelers.
A Trusted Legacy in Certified Medical Education
Vera Clinic’s first Vera Academy, completed earlier this year, was officially approved by the Turkish Ministry of Health to train doctors in aesthetic and cosmetic procedures. The program covered facial aesthetics, Botox applications, and body contouring techniques, with guest faculty from Cerrahpaşa Hospital. A unique module on patient psychology and communication set it apart, helping participants better understand the emotional dynamics behind aesthetic care. Every seat in the 12-person cohort was booked within days, earning strong praise for its practical depth and innovative additions.
Expanding Into Hair Transplantation
Now, Vera Clinic is channeling that expertise into hair transplantation, Turkey’s flagship medical tourism specialty. The upcoming Vera Academy for Hair Transplantation (while still finalizing its curriculum) will be the first dual-certified program in Turkey under both the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Education. Anticipated training topics include Sapphire FUE (introduced by Vera Clinic in 2017), DHI techniques, donor preservation strategies, and Stem Cell Therapy integration for enhanced graft vitality.
Confidence for U.S. Medical Travelers
The United States remains a key source of patients for Turkey’s booming hair transplant industry. This formal training program ensures that American travelers will encounter surgeons trained under transparent, government-endorsed standards.
“Credibility is the currency of medical tourism,” said Kazım Sipahi, CEO of Vera Clinic. “By formalizing education for our doctors, we give U.S. patients confidence equal to or greater than what they’d expect at home.”
