Dr. Kapil Dua, President Association of Hair Restoration Surgeon of India, recently attended an International workshop on hair transplant, “Live Surgery Workshop – FUE Immersion”. The workshop was held in Polanica Zdrój, Poland and was attended by 200 delegates.

He was the only Indian to be a faculty among the world’s best doctors in hair restoration in that event. He delivered talks on the following topics;

• Transection Rate – Can we rely on Re-Growth?
• Overharvesting/Exhausted Donor Areas – Treating the Problems
• Body Hair Extraction Techniques

In his lectures, he highlighted that the FUE hair transplant surgery should be done by experienced doctors only as it may lead to wastage of grafts during harvesting. This may cause damage of donor area of the scalp and a permanent side effect in the form of “Moth Eaten” appearance of scalp.

He also spoke on how to tackle these cases and various modalities available to treat this problem. He shared his experience of doing FUE, FUT and Body Hair grafting in these patients. The role of new technique of scalp micro-pigmentation (SMP) was also discussed in detail. He elaborated that this latest technique can help the patients to get out of their “Moth Eaten Appearance Look”.

In his presentation of “Body Hair Extraction Technique”, he showed various steps of doing harvesting of different body areas like beard, chest, pubis, abdomen and armpits. All his presentations were widely accepted and applauded for the genuine work shown by him.
