How every article on this site is made.
The same pipeline runs before anything is published — documented here so you can judge our work on its merits, not our claims about it.
- 01
Topic selection
Topics come from a fixed editorial map of 6 clusters — training, PRP & mesotherapy, FUE & DHI, clinic growth, team operations, and instruments & suppliers. Ideas are sourced from search demand, practitioner questions, and gaps in existing publications.
- 02
Research
Surgical and pharmacological claims rest on primary clinical literature (PubMed/PMC) and official society data such as the ISHRS Practice Census. Operational claims come from practising clinicians and clinic operators. We do not repeat marketing claims without corroboration.
- 03
Drafting
Drafts are produced by our editorial research team. We use AI-assisted drafting tools for research synthesis and first drafts, under a locked editorial specification: verified-source-only citations, no invented statistics, house style. Every draft is validated before it can enter the publishing queue.
- 04
Clinical review
Clinical articles are reviewed by a named surgeon — Dr. Dursun Eser, our medical reviewer, or a named contributing surgeon. The "Medically reviewed" badge appears only when that review actually happened; unbadged articles are editorial research and say so.
- 05
Publication & updates
Published articles enter a rolling optimisation cycle: top pages are expanded with FAQs, internal links and updated examples; weak pages are revised or marked noindex rather than left to drift. The "last updated" date reflects real revision.
- 06
Disclosures
Commercial mentions are labelled in place. Partner links carry rel="sponsored nofollow"; editorial citations to journals and societies are followed links. We are not paid for editorial coverage — the full picture is on our disclosure page.
- 07
Corrections
Factual errors: email editor@hairtransplantsource.com. Substantive corrections are noted at the bottom of the affected article with the date of the correction.
Where AI fits — and where it doesn't
We use AI drafting tools the way a research assistant would be used: to synthesise sources and produce first drafts inside a strict specification. What AI is never allowed to do here: invent statistics or references (citations are restricted to a verified source pool), claim clinical review (the “Medically reviewed” badge is applied only by a named surgeon's explicit approval), or publish directly (every article passes automated validation and a human-controlled queue before going live). Bylines name who is accountable: the editorial team for editorial research, a named surgeon for content they wrote or approved.
