Advanced Hair Restoration Fellowship

Plan a restoration from donor assessment and hairline design through FUE extraction, implantation, postoperative care and follow-up. Four days of supervised instruction lead to the ASAHRS Fellowship Foundation Certificate.

Curriculum

Hair and scalp anatomy, alopecia assessment and treatment selection
Consultation, graft planning and hairline design
Manual, motorized and robot-assisted FUE
Recipient-site creation, implantation and graft handling
Non-surgical therapies, genetics and follow-up
Patient documentation and practice integration

Learning objectives

Translate a consultation, scalp findings and donor measurements into a defensible long-term graft plan.
Compare manual, motorized and robot-assisted harvesting in terms of operator decisions, graft handling and documentation.
Explain how hairline design, recipient distribution and follow-up affect a proposed restoration.

Program outline

Example four-day schedule published for the Buffalo 2025 cohort. Activities and timing for an upcoming session may differ.

Day 1 · Assessment and design

The published example begins with patterns of hair loss and donor selection, followed by hairline and donor marking and an introduction to instruments.

Day 2 · FUE methods and simulation

The example covers candidate selection, harvesting and implantation methods, graft preservation, and device practice on a simulator.

Day 3 · Assisted harvesting and graft handling

Participants observe advanced FUE workflows, practice with equipment, and examine and prepare grafts using magnification.

Day 4 · Implantation and postoperative care

The example concludes with implantation tools, density and hairline planning, supervised procedural participation, follow-up and case discussion.

Preparation

Sketch the donor and recipient regions on a blank scalp diagram. Prepare one question about assessing an area with variable hair caliber or density.

Case exercise

A patient requests a low, dense hairline and has ongoing thinning behind the proposed recipient area. Mark a provisional hairline and priority zones on a diagram. Record what you would measure before estimating graft numbers and how you would explain the trade-offs.

Learning check

Give the patient two planning options. A credible explanation addresses future loss, available donor supply, the limits of a photograph, and the follow-up needed to revise the plan.
