Following the recent World Congress of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), I browsed through their impressive program and excellent website and noted that the membership is angry about physicians with little or no training perform-ing hair transplants. There are dentists, gynecologists, ophthalmologists and others from non-surgical backgrounds taking up the knife and cutting into people’s scalps. Often, these physicians either have had no training, or only taken a short online course. This has led to an abundance of patients with either terrible looking hair transplants, scalp infections, or worse. This shows poorly on legitimate hair-surgeons, giving the field a bad name. The ISHRS, quite rightly, want hair-surgeons to be properly trained and certified.
