An International Panel Discussion on Hair Growth Evaluation and Regeneration

On April 30, 2021, Plastic and Aesthetic Research (PAR) organized an international webinar on hair growth evaluation and regeneration. Under the leadership of Dr. Van Neste Dominique (a world-renowned scalp hair investigator), some excellent experts had a lively discussion based on the article "Exhaustive analysis of scalp hair regression: subjective and objective perception from initial hair loss to severe miniaturisation and drug-induced regrowth"(corresponding author: Dr. Van Neste Dominique).

We are honored to invite Dr. Van Neste Dominique from the Skin and Hair Clinic in Belgium as speaker. This webinar was hosted by Prof. Lujun Yang from The Second Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College in China and Dr. Hugh David Rushton from University of Portsmouth in UK. Besides, Prof. Torello Lotti (Guglielmo Marconi University, Rome, Italy) and other experts participated in this webinar as guests to discuss and share their deep insights.
