In late 2006 Dr. Mark McKenzie took over the management of the Seager Hair Transplant Centre as its medical director and operating surgeon. He inherited a clinic with a world renown reputation for innovation and quality that was cultivated by Dr. David Seager.

In December of 2006 Dr. David Seager passed away after battling cancer (to read a fuller account visit this page). But his legacy and his clinic have continued on with Dr. McKenzie now at the helm.

Prior to joining the Seager Hair Transplant Centre, Dr. McKenzie performed hair transplantation independently since 1994. He recently underwent a hair transplant procedure that was performed on him by the Seager staff.

Dr. McKenzie and his staff’s technique and procedure remain very similar to the “stick and place” procedure performed at the Seager Hair Transplant Centre under Dr. Seager’s tenure.

The “stick and place” technique describes the process in which the technicians make a recipient site incision and then immediately place the follicular unit graft into the incision. By placing grafts immediately into a fresh incision that have not had time to contract or coagulate incisions can potentially be smaller relative to the size of the typical graft.

The stick and place procedure is actually performed by the experienced technicians at the clinic who follow the design created by Dr. McKenzie. However, he often does the stick in the critical hairline areas.

This insightful article was written by Patrick Hennessy, the Publisher of the Hair Transplant Network, the Hair Loss Learning Center, and the Hair Loss Q&A Blog

Both hair transplant patients and ethical hair transplant physicians share the common goal of elevating the standards of the hair restoration profession. While this patient based community provides a discussion forum for sharing and analyzing real results and the physicians who provide them, many physicians have worked to establish educational standards for the hair transplant profession.

The most prominent effort by physicians to set standards and criteria for state of the art hair transplantation and practices has been the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS) . This non profit organization is managed by hair restoration physicians and certifies physicians as “Diplomates” after they successfully demonstrate a high degree of knowledge about current hair transplantation by passing an extensive written and oral examination.

Dr. Bernie Nusbuam, who is a very respected member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians, will be assuming the Presidency of the ABHRS. I asked him to provide our community with more information about the ABHRS certification process and what it means. As he himself states, the ABHRS certification does not insure competence. But it does at least certify that ABHRS Diplomates have a demonstrated high level of understanding of current hair transplantation techniques and practices.

The information Dr. Nusbuam provided to me is presented below:

This past Spring I had the opportunity to visit Dr. Feriduni at his clinic in Hasselt, Belgium (To see the highlights, click here). I was very impressed by Dr. Feriduni and his staff’s attention to detail, donor closure, microscopic graft cutting and graft placing. His trichophytic closure technique was one of the most refined that I’ve ever seen.

Given his state of the art ultra refined procedure and top not staff and results he has been granted membership in the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.  To learn more about Dr.Feriduni and view his impressive ultra refined patient results visit his Coalition profile.

Dr. Feriduni also sent me some of his impressive patient result photos that are presented on our discussion forum. These photos can be viewed by clicking here.  You can also learn more about him, his techniques and patient results by visiting his clinic’s website.

Dr. Feriduni offers his patients both ultra refined follicular unit hair transplants and follicular unit extraction (FUE), with many of his FUE cases exceeding 1,000 grafts in one day and some reaching 3,000 grafts over two day sessions. His strip excision cases now on average exceed 2,500 follicular unit grafts.

Dr. Feriduni provides free and very personable consultations in English, French, German and Flemmish.

I would like to announce our first Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physician member in Europe - Dr. Jean DeVroye .

I have known Dr. DeVroye for several years. In fact we both attended our first hair conference in Paris ten years ago – me as a show case patient of Dr. Ron Shapiro and Dr. DeVroye as physician who was aspiring to become a great hair transplant surgeon.

Now after ten years of hard work and dedication; I believe that Dr. DeVroye has succeeded. He has really paid his dues over the years – observing and working extensively with leading hair transplant surgeons in North America, attending international hair restoration meetings and more recently becoming an important contributor and teacher in his own right.

Having seen him perform surgery and discussed the finer details of his surgery, I believe that Dr. DeVroye is both an artist and a skilled hair transplant surgeon. He strives for perfection and it shows in his staff, the procedure and in the final patient results.

His procedure is one of the most minimally invasive, refined and clean procedures that I have every seen. His staff also seems to share his enthusiasm and commitment to excellence. They work together as a team harmoniously and their all microscopic graft cutting and placing are second to none in my opinion.

I had the honor of watching three of Dr. DeVroye’s ultra refined follicular unit procedures over three days and I was very impressed at all stages of the procedure. It simply doesn’t get any better anywhere.
