ISHRS Pro Bono Hair Restoration Foundation: Operation Restore

Hair loss can have far reaching effects on a person's sense of self image and self esteem. When the loss of hair occurs because of disease or trauma the factors associated with such a hair loss process may produce particularly profound effect.

Recognizing that many of these people in the process of physical and emotional recovery may lack the resources for corrective hair restoration surgery, the ISHRS Pro Bono Foundation is proud to announce OPERATION RESTORE.

This program matches prospective hair loss patients with volunteer ISHRS physicians to obtain hair restoration services to help restore the physical and emotional wellness of the individual. The foundation will provide financial, travel, lodging, and medical assistance to eligible patients. The ISHRS Pro Bono Program was also featured in Association Forum Magazine.
