The purpose of in vitro fertilization is to fertilize eggs of the woman with sperms -male reproductive cells- in laboratory to obtain embryos that will be transferred to the women for conception. In cases of male factor infertility, sperms of the man are transferred into the egg with a very thin needle which then results in development of embryo (ICSI: Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection). These embryos are similarly transferred to the uterus of candidate mother.

Hair Transplantation

Hair Transplantation

Although there are many underlying reasons of hair loss, the main reasons are genetic factors in men and hormonal factors in women.

On the other hand, a part of our hair (generally the ones near nape) is not supposed to shed due to their very nature or –in other words- they are not sensitive to androgen. Hair transplant is a treatment that ensures permanent outcomes for everyone without any disorder causing hair loss or individuals who do not use any medication that leads to hair loss.

In due course, the developments in surgical tools and techniques brought about the concept of minimally invasive surgery. Minimally invasive surgery aims to minimize the trauma, alleviate postoperative pain and shorten the postoperative hospital stay, as it allows surgeons perform surgeries through very small incisions.
