About Berat Salman
Berat Salman trained as a nurse at Gaziosmanpaşa Anatolian Health Vocational High School (2011–2014), a background that gives him a thorough grounding in patient care and medical procedure. He entered hair transplantation in 2015 at Aslı Tarcan Medical Center in extraction and harvesting roles, moved to Ümran Medical Center in 2017 to focus on transplant and channel-opening work, and since 2019 has been a hair transplant specialist at Avrasya Hospital in Istanbul, Vivid Clinic's partner hospital.
Since 2015 he has been involved in more than 2,500 hair transplant operations. He specializes in Direct Hair Implantation (DHI) and also performs FUE, and has built specific experience with Afro-textured hair, where curved follicles make extraction and channel design more demanding. He is known for hairlines that follow the patient's facial structure and for protecting graft survival.
Berat attends national and international workshops and conferences to keep his technique current. His approach is empathetic and unhurried: he listens to what each patient wants to change, sets realistic expectations and works to a personalized plan. He speaks Turkish and basic English; Vivid Clinic's coordinators interpret during consultation and on the day.
