His sexual health and wellness practice offers cutting-edge technologies and treatment options for men. Dr Tas offers unique training and clinical protocols for practitioners who want to implement   Penile Implants , Penile Enhancement , SafeFill and MaleShot  into their practice. Dr Taş and his team presented the results of combined P.R.P (MALE-P-SHOT) and SVF application to the penis for the first time in Turkey at the scientific congress and shared the clinical results of these applications. It is also one of the first 5 centers in the world to publish the results of P.R.P (P.SHOT) applications. Dr Taş is one of the urology instructors at ISSCA who is fully involved in regenerative medicine.
