Smile Hair Clinic, the first hair transplant clinic worldwide to receive the prestigious A-Rated TEMOS International Healthcare Accreditation, has reached another major milestone in advancing professional education in hair transplantation.
Following its official authorization as a certified training center, the Istanbul-based clinic has successfully delivered its first Certified Hair Transplant Practitioner Program, a comprehensive professional training initiative designed for medical doctors seeking advanced expertise in modern hair restoration techniques.
The program was conducted with official approval from the Turkish Ministry of Health and combined both theoretical and hands-on clinical training. The inaugural edition of the program took place between October 20 and November 14, marking a significant step in the clinic’s long-term commitment to education and clinical excellence.
Structured Training Rooted in Science and Ethics
Built around Smile Hair Clinic’s expertise and its proprietary True™ Philosophy, the program brought together scientific rigor, ethical standards, and operational best practices.

Training activities were carried out at the Smile Hair Clinic Training Center under a formal educational framework, overseen by designated program managers and supported by specialized clinical staff to ensure consistency, quality, and compliance with international standards.
