Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted January 6, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted January 6, 2014 Every year the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) holds its annual scientific meeting to discuss hair loss and advancements in medical and surgical hair restoration. This year, the ISHRS meeting was held in San Francisco, CA and the topics discussed were in stark contrast to those that were on the agenda at the first San Francisco meeting 14 years ago. The publishers of this community were not able to attend this year's conference but we interviewed a number of recommended physicians in order to provide our members with their input on the meeting. These highlights have been presented on our popular Hair Loss Q&A Blog. To learn what's new in hair restoration from expert hair transplant surgeons, visit the "Highlights from the 2013 ISHRS (International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery) Scientific Meeting in San Francisco, California." Topics discussed include follicular unit extraction (FUE) versus strip harvesting, Pilofocus Scarless Hair Transplantation, ACell MatriStem and PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma): Bioenhancements of Hair Transplantation, Propecia (Finasteride) Safety and Efficacy and more. Physicians directly contributing to this article are: Dr. Mike Beehner Dr. Robert Bernstein Dr. Jerry Cooley Dr. Carlos Wesley Dr. Shelly Friedman Dr. James Harris Dr. Parsa Mohebi We hope you enjoy reading about these interesting developments.
