The Case of the Bearded Patient


Back in Denver after a very informative and productive few days in Alaska. My presentation on Day 3 of the ISHRS annual meeting was a case study of our clinical results for beard-graft transplants to the scalp. I’m often asked by my male patients if there isn’t some way their beards—which they have no problem growing—can’t be rehomed to their heads, so this is frontier I’ve enjoyed exploring.

The clinical study was based on 4100 total graft transplants, so we had some interesting results and before/after photos to share with that  international contingent.

Far beyond the facts of any single presentation, though, is the patient-focused force driving hair restoration advances.  What works?  What might work better?  How can we merge therapies or techniques to achieve ever-better outcomes?

Curiosity is contagious. And there was a lot of it going around last week in Anchorage.
