Like each and every year, there were many interesting topics discussed at this year's 2014 ISHRS meeting. I'm curious to hear what members think about the various topics that were discussed in the article.

 

It's definitely interesting to see how much more prominent FUE has become. Kudos to the dedicated surgeons who continue to advance the field of hair restoration and to the patients who continually demand only the best results.

 

Best wishes,

 

Bill
