Dr. M. Reşat Arpacı

Dr. M. Reşat Arpacı graduated from the İzmir Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Medicine in 2000 and began his career as an Emergency Physician in Sakarya. His interest in aesthetic medicine gradually led him to focus solely on hair transplantation. He received his initial training in this field at prestigious clinics in Turkey and abroad.

In 2002, he obtained a Micrograft Hair Transplantation Certification from the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) in Berlin, gaining the authority to perform hair transplants using the FUT technique. That same year, he earned a Biofibre Synthetic Hair Transplantation Certification through the Milan Hair Transplant Institute and established hair restoration clinics in Kuşadası and İzmir, Turkey. Between 2004-2005, he received a Medical Aesthetic License from the Flavius Aesthetic Training Center, approved by the Turkish Ministry of Health.

In 2006, he began using the FUE technique and perfected his skills through extensive work with this method. He also had the opportunity to train with Dr. Bessam Farjo, one of the world’s leading hair restoration surgeons. In 2007, he invented and patented a unique FUE micromotor technique that allows hair restoration surgeons to work with a maximum number of hair grafts. From 2008-2011, he served as the founder, president, and chief trainer of a Beauty and Aesthetic School accredited by the Ministry of National Education in İzmir.

In 2010, he moved his hair transplantation practice to Istanbul, where he has been leading various high-profile hair transplant centers in the city. He has worked at several clinics across Turkey and served as the Head of the Hair Transplantation and Hair Health Center. As of August 2024, he continues his career as a hair transplant surgeon at Smile Hair Clinic.

I also expect the same behavior and understanding towards myself.

What is your working style in the clinic? In the clinic, I prefer to listen to my team members, evaluate their opinions, and make the final decision myself.

What is your zodiac sign? Capricorn.

What is your favorite perfume and why? Savage. I like its scent.

What is your favorite bedside book and why? Homo Deus – The high ego of the demigod emerging at the end of human evolution and the clear visibility of this new species around us fascinated and terrified me.
