NEW YORK, NY (PRWEB) September 2005 --
The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) recently held their 13th annual scientific meeting.
A broad range of topics were explored including; the most recent research in
cloning, the latest proven medical therapies to prevent hair loss, and the
newest concepts in the harvesting of donor hair follicles used for
transplanting. The event was capped off with a live hair transplant surgery
workshop.
As the largest non-profit voluntary organization comprised of over 650 hair
restoration physicians, the ISHRS is the first international society created to
promote continuing quality improvement and education for professionals in the
field of surgical hair restoration.
The purpose of the annual event is to bring together the world’s best minds in
hair restoration surgery for an interchange of ideas, knowledge and experience.
The meeting is aimed at enhancing, to the highest possible level, the skills and
artistry of the members.
One of this years exciting presentations was given by Robert M. Bernstein M.D.,
Associate Clinical Professor of Dermatology at the College of Physicians and
Surgeons of Columbia University in New York. Dr. Bernstein is recognized world
wide for his pioneering work in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular
Unit Transplantation (FUT), considered to be the state-of-the-art in surgical
hair restoration techniques.
Dr. Bernstein introduced a new instrument for FUE that enables hair to be
removed directly from the back of the scalp without the need for a linear
incision. The instrument increases ones ability to remove the hair in its
naturally occurring groups with minimal damage.
According to Dr. Bernstein, “FUE
has been most useful for camouflaging the scars produced by hair transplants
performed with older techniques.”
The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery brought together a lively
collection of panels led by doctors who were well-known and highly-respected
professionals from the surgical hair restoration industry.
Doctors such as Robert M. Bernstein M.D. shared their expertise in order to cover the issues and advances in medical and surgical hair restoration and the latest research developments in the field.
The intention being better treatment and treatment
options for patients.
