Program Description

The live online webinar will occur on the date and time as noted. The live program will be recorded and available for viewing on demand until January 10, 2025. This 2-hour CME activity is a live webinar which will be recorded with the intention to be re-watched or viewed as on-demand education. This webinar is being conducted to provide physicians with scientific updates and current studies related to medical management for patients with different types of hair loss. As a result of this activity, learners will be able to gain more knowledge in current practices to manage the wide range of hair-loss conditions.

The online live component will include presentations, panel discussion, and audience participation via verbal questions and discussion, typing chat Q&A and polling.

Professional Practice Gap

The advances in medical and surgical treatment of hair loss have propelled the field forward. Patients can now get better results than ever and more patients are becoming candidates because of these improvements. The crucial aspect here is discerning the right time for surgery or opting for initial treatment, especially in cases involving mental health or intricate scenarios. Bridging this practice gap ensures surgeons align with current studies, refining methodologies to make informed decisions on when to recommend or defer hair restoration surgery.

Educational Need

Despite great strides in hair restoration treatment for patients there are many pitfalls for surgeons and patients alike. Not all patients are good candidates for the procedure. Sometimes patients have a hair loss diagnosis that is not treatable by surgery and will only worsen over time. Other times, the donor supply of patients may not be enough to accomplish their goals. Finally, there are patients who surgically are good candidates, but because of their high expectations will never be happy. Importantly, we need to emphasize the significance of knowing when to say “no” to a patient, highlighting the crucial role of surgeons’ approach in the intricate landscape of hair restoration surgery.

Learning Objectives

After this webinar, the attendees should be able to:

• Describe the issues associated with patients having body dysmorphic syndrome. Also, consider how to spot and avoid patients with unrealistic expectations.
• Give examples of how to refuse surgery on patients with non-AGA who are not candidates for surgery.
• Recognize patients with dormant non-AGA conditions who may be good candidates for surgery.
• Explain the limitations of hair transplantation surgery for those patients with advanced hair loss.

Target Audience and Prerequisites

This webinar is taught at the physician level. It is open to all levels and geared toward advanced hair restoration surgeons

• Ineligible Company: The ACCME defines an “ineligible company” as any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services used on or consumed by patients. Providers of clinical services directly to patients are NOT included in this definition.
• Financial Relationships: Relationships in which the individual benefits by receiving a salary, royalty, intellectual property rights, consulting fee, honoraria, ownership interest (e.g., stocks, stock options or other ownership interest, excluding diversified mutual funds), or other financial benefit. Financial benefits are usually associated with roles such as employment, management position, independent contractor (including contracted research), consulting, speaking and teaching, membership on advisory committees or review panels, board membership, and other activities from which remuneration is received, or expected.  ACCME considers relationships of the person involved in the CME activity to include financial relationships of a spouse or partner.
• Conflict of Interest: Circumstances create a conflict of interest when an individual has an opportunity to affect CME content about products or services of an ineligible company with which he/she has a financial relationship.

The ACCME also requires that ISHRS manage any reported conflict and eliminate the potential for bias during the educational activity.  Any conflicts noted below have been managed to our satisfaction.
