About Dr. Nesim Tüğen
A graduate of Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine, Dr. Nesim Tüğen is one of the key figures behind the medical success of Hermest Hair Clinic, with over 15 years of clinical experience. As Medical Director, he oversees the clinic’s operational processes managed under a “Doctor Hierarchy” model, ensuring that surgical protocols are implemented in line with ethical standards and the highest success rates.
Dr. Nesim Tüğen has demonstrated that surgical precision and scientific rigour are the cornerstones of successful hair transplant outcomes. He believes that true innovation emerges from within — through the continuous refinement of technique and knowledge, where clinical challenges are met with experience, discipline, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Strategic Expertise: Why Exclusively FUE?
Dr. Nesim Tüğen holds top-level expertise in both of the two primary hair transplant methods — DHI and FUE. However, guided by the vision that surgical excellence comes through focus, he has concentrated his operational practice exclusively on FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) since 2022.
This strategic decision was not merely a matter of preference, but arose from the goal of pushing the highest limits in tissue management, graft survival, and natural density. Dr. Nesim combines the surgical canvas that FUE offers with engineering-level precision — elevating hair transplantation from a procedure to the level of tissue artistry.
