Article by HairlossTalk.com

The ISHRS 10th Annual scientific meeting will be covering the latest news and research in hair transplant and surgical hair restoration technology, as well as some breaking news on new hair loss treatments. We have a custom written synopsis of nearly all the topics and announcements that will be made at the upcoming conference... This year's conference is the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery 10th anniversary, and it promises to be one of the largest ever held. It will be occurring in Chicago, IL from October 9th through the 13th at the Marriott Hotel, downtown. HairlossTalk will be presenting a series of articles prior to and during the conference that will bring you information from some of the top researchers and physicians participating, and we hope to cover as much of what will be presented as possible.

The significance of this conference is great, as new information will be presented on some promising new hair growth stimulants, tissue engineering treatments and gene therapy techniques for treating hair loss. Many of us have been waiting for the latest news in surgical techniques as well, and the results of the latest research in hair cloning, cell multiplication, and genetic research are all on the schedule. The facts will be presented by published, reputable physicians who have solid research, and very well may be responsible for the treatments and techniques that will be the first to hit the actual operating rooms and consumer shelves.

In accordance with legitimate scientific method, a panel of 13 well known physicians have evaluated each and every presentation abstract for scientific accuracy, merit, and relevance prior to approving it for inclusion in the conference schedule, so what is to be presented will be of the highest quality and reputability. Below, we present to you a custom-written synopsis of all the major topics being covered at the conference:



The Major Goals of this year's Conference The purpose of this year's conference is multi-fold. Some of the top names in science will be presenting new information on the latest techniques in hair restoration surgery, including grafting techniques, as well as the progress and potential results of clinical studies currently being done on some brand new hair loss treatments. This information will be incredibly interesting to nearly all of us.

There will be new information on hair growth stimulants such as cell stimulants, enzyme and receptor blockers, gene therapy, and tissue engineering. Along with this of course will be several tools presented for continuing education for the nation's surgeons on proper technique, new methodologies for estimating donor area and follicular unit calculation, ethical issues in hair restoration surgery, and how to best correct other surgeon's errors.


Wednesday's Presentations - The Basics

In the morning, an "Introduction to Hair Restoration Surgery" workshop will be presented by Jennifer Martinick. Soon after, an introduction to the profession of hair transplantation will be presented, including the history of hair transplantation, the causes of hair loss, and the treatments currently available. Marketing, patient evaluation, psychological issues of hair loss, graft preparation, hairline design and donor harvesting, as well as other very interesting topics including emergencies in hair transplantation, and an overview of some of the more nontraditional applications of hair transplantation will be covered. In the afternoon, Dr. Jerry Cooley will be heading a workshop which will consist of several workstations, demonstrating the various parts of the hair transplant process. This is primarily for the education and benefit of newer surgeons and the general public.
