International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery

When chosing a clinic to perform your hair transplant surgery, it is important to make sure the surgeon is qualified.

One check which is easy to do is to see if they are a member of the medical association specialising in hair loss and alopecia - the ISHRS.

A little about the ISHRS

The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) is the largest organisation of physicians worldwide who specialise in the treatment of hair loss.

The ISHRS is a non-profit medical association of over 700 physicians specialising in alopecia and hair loss.

The ISHRS provides continuing education to physicians specialising in hair transplant and restoration surgery and gives the public the latest information on medical hair restoration and non-surgical treatment for hair loss.

Hair Transplants

While hair transplantation has been a well-accepted procedure for decades, scientific and technical advances have helped hair restoration surgeons create a new era of consistent, safe, effective, and-most importantly, natural-looking results.
The obvious-looking 'plug-type' transplants of the past have been replaced with living and growing results that truly defy detection.
Microsurgical techniques and instrumentation, and artistic appreciation of how hair naturally grows, has led to these advances.
The identification of naturally-occurring follicular-units (groups of mostly one, two or three follicles) in the skin, and the ability to successfully transplant literally thousands of these groupings during large sessions of transplantation, allows for the restoration of hair in the vast majority of men and women who suffer from hereditary hair loss.
