Every year, the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS<\/a>) hosts its annual World Congress events. I have covered every one of these gatherings since this blog was incepted in 2013. Hundreds of hair transplant surgeon ISHRS members and numerous renowned hair loss researchers attend these Congresses.<\/p>\n The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery\u2019s 34th Annual World Congress<\/a> runs from October 15-October 17, 2026<\/em> in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).<\/p>\n The link to the Final Program Guide<\/a> is always worth a read.<\/p>\n The majority of the topics and sessions at these meetings focus on hair transplants. However, many other subjects are always thoroughly covered, including hair loss medications, regenerative medicine, stem cells, exosomes, PRP and LLLT.<\/p>\n Renowned dermatologist and trichologist Dr. Dirlene Roth (Brazil) will present on scalp microinfusion<\/a> of hair loss drugs. And on a related note, Dr. Pablo Cirino (Brazil) will present on the increasingly popular Combined Regenerative Technique<\/a> (CRT) of subcutaneously delivering hair loss drugs directly to the scalp.<\/p>\n Dr. Xi Chua from China has an interesting presentation titled \u201cFunctional Regeneration Strategies of Hair Follicles: Of special interest is Guatamela-based HairClone (UK) partner Dr. Marie Schambach\u2019s talk on October 16th. It is part of the 8:00am-9.30am focussed session. HairClone<\/a> CEO Dr. Paul Kemp emailed me last month and said the following:<\/p>\n \u201cJust wanted to let you know that Dr Schambach will be presenting the first 12 week time point of our clinical studies with AFC-001. I can\u2019t give details ahead of her talk, but as you know, I have been in the cell therapy field for hair restoration for many years and these results on our first 8 patients are really encouraging<\/strong>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Nothing from Pelage Pharmaceuticals<\/a> (US) or Veradermics<\/a> (US), though both companies are just beginning Phase 3 clinical trials as we speak.<\/p>\n Make sure to check out the official ISHRS social media pages for the most important updates.
