Dr. Vadachkoria added that the workshop’s patient-centric focus and interactive learning format will allow those in attendance to engage in lively debates, troubleshoot challenges, and refine their skills through collaborative peer exchanges. Attendees can also explore the latest tools and technologies from leading pharmaceutical and medical device sponsors dedicated to advancing hair restoration during a special innovation showcase.
“As our latest member survey indicates, ISHRS members performed an average of 15 hair restoration surgeries per month in 2024 – a testament to the hands-on nature of ISHRS physicians who approach each case with the dedication and expertise it deserves,” noted Ricardo Mejia, MD, FISHRS, president of the ISHRS. “This premier educational event demonstrates ISHRS’s commitment to hosting international workshops to bridge our collective knowledge and cutting-edge techniques in hair restoration surgery with our members in all corners of the world.”
The ISHRS 2025 Practice Census found that in 2024, the average number of patients per member increased by 20% since 2021. The survey also determined that first-time hair restoration surgery patients in 2024 skewed younger than the general adult population, with 95% initiating hair restoration surgery between the ages of 20-35.
