Experts Further Search for Answers, Improve
Solutions to Hair Loss
Refinement
of Intricate Details Improve Current Treatments
ORLANDO,
Fla.— It has been estimated that out of the 50-70 million people
who suffer from hair loss in the United States, only three percent
seek some form of treatment. The public is flooded with products
and services that claim to be the answer to those looking to
restore their hair. World-renowned expert doctors and researchers
will convene March 6 – 9, in Orlando, Florida, to participate in
an intense, comprehensive hair loss meeting, during which they
will conduct 21 live surgeries, initiate new research, share new
techniques and demonstrate new instrumentation.
While
the ultimate cure for baldness or thinning hair is elusive, this
gathering of the authorities in the field seeks to improve the
current treatments and search for more options.
Current
surgical techniques that have made great strides in the past few
years will undergo close scrutiny as these doctors investigate
results and methods to improve them. A variety of methods and
instrumentation will be demonstrated during the event.
Medicinal
treatments, including Propecia and Rogaine, and causes of hair loss,
such as Androgenetic Alopecia and Traumatic Alopecia as they affect
men and women, will be thoroughly covered.
Special
attention will be devoted this year to hair loss in women. This
coverage will include causes, psychosocial effects, hair
transplantation and the use of minoxidil by women, in addition to a
live surgical demonstration.
The
Live Surgery Workshop increased significance comes from its open
forum and research. Research projects to be initiated at the event
include an investigation of hair diameter, density and direction of
hair follicles, graft placement and hair characteristics after
transplantation. Studies on angulation, survival, size of hair graft
tissue and follicular regeneration will be updated.
There
will be a concentration on hair considerations in different ethnic
groups including African American, Asian and Spanish patients.
The
live surgical demonstrations, including eyebrow transplantation,
will feature a variety of patient concerns and hair loss conditions.
To meet the needs of physicians and medical staff new to the field,
the event includes a mentor program and a special nurses surgical
program for medical staff. The unique setting allows less
experienced surgeons to view the field’s best first-hand in
surgery.
In
association with the International Society of Hair Restoration
Surgery, currently lead by President Dr. Bobby Limmer, the Workshop
has taken a lead role in the evolution of hair restoration. Chaired
by event founder, Dr. Matt Leavitt, and co-chaired by Dr. David
Perez-Meza, the Live Surgery Workshop pushes the field of medical
hair restoration by improving every area in hair loss treatment by
promoting a free exchange of knowledge and clinical training with
the field’s leading experts. For comprehensive information, please
