ISHRS 2019

ISHRS 2019

So today I registered for the ISHRS 2020 Virtual World Congress. That made me realize one thing: I didn’t write my blog of the 2019 one! So this will be a quick post about that.

The 2019 ISHRS World Congress was last November in Bangkok, Thailand. I’d never been there, so I was excited to check out the city. I was also tempted to hop on the plane to the islands and get some much deserved sun and relaxation at the beach, but alas, that was not possible as I was needed back in Porto and had to focus on my work.

Why Travel For Surgery?

Why Travel For Surgery?

We’re an international clinic. Patients contact us from all over the world, all the way from Australia and New Zealand (yep, literally the most distant civilization from where we’re located) to South Africa, to North America, to…well…next door. This is something I take pride in. Our philosophy revolves around very high quality of service and results, not volume.

Why Consultations Are So Important

Why Consultations Are So Important

Consultations are one of the most important part of a hair transplant. A statement which may confuse some people. But it's really straightforward.

It's in consultation that doctor and patient meet (either in-person or virtually) and get a chance to exchange information in order to arrive at a diagnosis, a plan, and of course, a relationship of trust. I think it's only when these three things combine, that the conditions to move forward have been gathered.

4th World FUE Institute Workshop - Avignon, France

4th World FUE Institute Workshop - Avignon, France

Last month was the 4th International World FUE Institute 2019 Workshop. A special one for me, since it was one of the workshops that I’ve participated the most in, giving two presentations and performing live surgery. 

The setting for this year’s workshop was Avignon, in France. Quite a beautiful little town in the Provence with a lot of history. Weather was terrific and although we still have to work a lot during these conferences, it feels great to breakout of the routine and visit a wonderful new place, enjoy the weather and the local cuisine, and of course, see our dear friends and colleagues.
