The programme
Part A — the keys to a reliable operation
The opening part sets out the principles, steps and sequence that make each case predictable. It is written so a newcomer can follow the full procedure while an experienced surgeon can audit their own routine against it.
Harvesting & implantation methods
Every graft collection and placement method is described in detail and supported by photographs and drawings. Contemporary follicular unit excision thinking, including how much of the donor area can be used safely, receives particular attention.
Part B — essential science for the hair surgeon
The middle section covers the general knowledge every restoration surgeon needs before refining technique. Chapters on nutrients and their role in hair growth help clinicians support patients beyond the operating day.
Part C — advanced work in the hair transplantation practical guide
The final part gathers state-of-the-art material intended for surgeons progressing toward expert level. New chapters on eyebrow and eyelash transplantation widen the range of procedures a practice can offer.
Who it’s for
- Surgeons starting hair restoration follow a structured path from basic principles to complete cases
- Established hair transplant surgeons keep an extensive reference for FUE and advanced procedures
- Dermatologists and plastic surgeons add eyebrow, eyelash and scalp restoration knowledge to their practice
