Better late than never! This is a report about Dr Bessam Farjo’s visit to Istanbul last May. Both Drs Farjo were invited as faculty by the host, Dr Melike Kulahci of Transmed. Due to work commitments, Dr Nilofer couldn’t oblige. The workshop was called ‘The Next Big Thing: Hair Research and Advanced Live Surgery Workshop’ […]
It’s not surprising to read the latest headlines damning the drug on its harsh side effects. One minute we’re told that aspirin causes cancer, the next it helps to prevent it – it’s hard to know what to believe! A recent article in a men’s health publication condemned the use of the hair loss drug […]
Last September, Drs Farjo travelled to Anchorage, Alaska to attend the 19th Annual Scientific Meeting of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS). IT was held over 4 days and included a beginners’ course & workshop, breakout workshops for special interest subjects, lunchtime symposia and of course the main lectures in the general sessions. […]

I have noticed recently that there has been a lot of publicity coming from the labs at L’Oreal. Apparently, they’ve created a new wonder pill, made from a fruit extract, which is said to prevent the inevitable sign of ageing: greying hair. In order to work, the pill should be taken every day for the […]
Take A Brow! In this blog, we discuss the latest trend of eyebrow transplants. This week I headed down to the BAAPS conference in Birmingham along with a patient who very kindly agreed to accompany me as a case study for the day. The conference touched on upcoming cosmetic surgery trends, so I was on […]
It’s time to add another date to the Farjo Diary! As both my wife Nilofer and I are heavily involved in fields of research surrounding hair loss and hair transplant surgery, we try to attend as many conferences as we can throughout the year. This time we’re off to Anchorage, Alaska, to attend the 19th […]
Latest figures from the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) show that, despite the global recession, the demand for procedures to correct hair loss has been stronger than ever.
