Course Description

The Basic Course is an intensive one-day program specifically developed for physicians with minimal or no prior experience in hair restoration surgery. The curriculum is organized into three focused lecture blocks, each addressing foundational topics including hair and scalp anatomy, patient assessment and selection, medical management, procedural planning and design, anesthesia techniques, donor harvesting, and graft implantation methods.

Following each lecture block, participants will engage in hands-on practical sessions at designated workstations, allowing for direct application of the concepts and techniques introduced.

The course features instruction and mentorship from internationally recognized experts and emerging leaders in the field, who will provide individualized guidance and be available for in-depth discussion throughout the day.

Throughout the course, world experts and new leaders in hair restoration surgery will share their knowledge and experience, and will answer all questions one-on-one.
