A Historic Milestone in Hair Restoration
Surgery
The 15th Annual Conference of the
Association of Hair Restoration Surgeons of India (AHRS), HAIRCON 2025, was
held recently, bringing together top hair restoration specialists from across
the country. This landmark event marked a significant moment in the field with
the appointment of Dr. Mayank Singh, a board certified plastic surgeon and the
Founder of CROWN – The Hair Transplant Experts, as the new President of AHRS.
AHRS is the only registered Indian association also recognized as
the global council member of ISHRS (International Society of Hair Restoration
Surgery). AHRS has members from the specialties of both plastic surgery and
dermatology.
Dr. Mayank Singh has made history by becoming the youngest
plastic surgeon and the first non-founder member to lead this prestigious and
globally connected organization. His appointment reflects his relentless
commitment to innovation, ethical practices, and excellence in the field of
hair restoration.
In recent years, the field of hair restoration in India has
faced serious challenges due to the rise of unqualified practitioners and
illegal clinics. Tragically, four patients have died during or after hair
transplant procedures, largely due to surgeries being performed by
non-qualified individuals—including technicians with no medical
training—operating out of salons or unauthorized centers.
Recognizing the urgency of this issue, AHRS has submitted its
recommendations to a committee appointed by the Directorate General of Health
Services (DGHS), proposing that hair transplant surgeries be brought under the
Clinical Establishments Act. This move aims to ensure that only qualified
surgeons perform these procedures in medically safe, regulated environments.
Speaking about this milestone, Dr. Mayank
Singh said:
“It is a deep honor to be
entrusted with this responsibility by my peers. AHRS has played a vital role in
advancing hair restoration science in India, and I look forward to contributing
to its continued growth, fostering transparency, patient awareness, and global
standards of care.”
With over 15 years of experience and a clinic renowned for advanced techniques and natural results, Dr. Singh's leadership is expected to usher in a new era of transformation for AHRS and the broader field of hair restoration in India.
