Hair transplantation hands-on workshop
We are very glad to inform everyone that our department has reached yet another milestone. Recently hands on workshop on hair transplantation was conducted by our department by the efforts taken by the head of our department Dr.Karthikeyan, for all the faculty members, postgraduates and few invited delegates. The workshop was a very successful one where an eminent hair transplant surgeon Dr.Sachin Yoele from Mumbai shared his experiences & knowledge on follicular unit extraction. Everyone had hands on and mastered the technique. With this initiative we are planning to enhance our department as a full-fledged cosmetology – dermatosurgery department.
