Jelveye Mandegar Specialized Skin And Hair Clinic
A female Iranian medical staff member checks the hair of a man while preparing him for a hair transplant at the Jelveye Mandegar specialized skin and hair clinic in downtown Tehran, Iran, on January 15, 2025. Ancient Iranian civilizations value skin and hair care, utilizing medicinal plants and traditional methods. Although the advent of Islam influences some customs, the use of natural materials persists. Recently, social media and lifestyle changes increase awareness and popularity of beauty and personal care, even among men in Iran. The rising dollar value makes cosmetic services cheaper for foreigners, and Iran becomes a hub for cosmetic surgery and skin care, bolstered by specialized personnel and advanced technologies, which also contributes to the growth of health tourism in the country.
