GENEVA, Ill — Approximately 225,800 hair restoration procedures were performed worldwide in 2006, up 34 percent from 2004, according to statistics released today from a recent member survey conducted by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) – a society for hair restoration physicians.

This large increase in hair restoration procedures coincides with a significant jump in the total number of hair restoration patients worldwide — from 361,077 patients in 2004 to 645,281 patients in 2006.

“The tremendous growth in hair restoration can be attributed to the continual refinements in modern day hair transplants and proven medical therapies that produce natural-looking results that are virtually undetectable,” said Paul C. Cotterill, MD, president of the ISHRS. “Increased public awareness about hair restoration procedures and the range of treatment options now available to both men and women are driving this increased demand around the world.”

While men have traditionally dominated the hair restoration patient base, the proportion of women undergoing surgical hair restoration procedures appears to be on the rise. Since 2004, the percent of female surgical hair restoration patients has risen by 2.4 percent — from 11.4 percent in 2004 to 13.8 percent in 2006.
