It’s time to say hello to 2022. To look forward, to build upon 2021 and to set course for the coming year.
I’m very pleased with how 2021 went for us. We did excellent work, we helped so many people and we continued our evolution into the best that we can be. I feel proud and accomplished for the team we have, the diligence we put into each case and the care and attention we give to each patient.
I guess I just repeat myself a lot when talking about these meetings, but I have to say it every time: the ISHRS World Congress is always amazing for me! I just love it. You get to see your friends, hang out and talk about hair the whole time (but not just hair, of course). There are a lot of discussions, ideas and “pearls” floating around the whole time. It’s just a privilege and I’m so happy that I get to be part of it all!
Men’s grooming blog ApetoGentleman have released their Top 25 Hair Transplant Surgeons list for 2021, and I’m very pleased and honored to announce that Spencer Stevenson, the writer of the list (more commonly known as Spex Hair) has considered me and our work to be amongst what he considers to be the Top 25 in the World.
Repair work has always been a frequent part of my practice. However, I’d say that in the last half-decade, it has become increasingly more frequent. Unfortunately, the amount of people getting procedures done by inexperienced, unethical, or just plain bad and scammy “professionals” is still on the rise. I believe that this is a lot due to misinformation. Something that we all (myself included) should play a part in combating. I definitely intend on making more and more strides in the direction of bringing good, honest and trustworthy information to the public, so expect to see some new segments and resources from us on that.
With the trend of the “mega session”, we’ve started seeing thousands of grafts being transplanted in a single session. 4000, 5000, 6000 (!) grafts being transplanted in a single day of surgery. That’s quite a feat! This means, in theory, that patients are able to restore their hair quicker and by spending less calendar time. But one question comes to mind when so many grafts are transplanted in a single session: how do the results compare?
If you’ve recently been thinking and/or researching about hair restoration, alopecia and it’s related subjects, or simply become curious about hair transplant surgery, there’s an acronym you’ve probably seen a lot. It stands for something that used to be regarded as a novelty, an experiment with no practical use as it looked way too hard to perform and time consuming. It has quickly evolved and developed over time to become one of the biggest revolutions seen in this field, ever. That acronym is FUE.
