Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to Seoul, Korea for the 2nd Annual Scientific Meeting of the Asian Association of Hair Restoration Surgeons (AAHRS).

The meeting, which will be held in conjunction with the Korean Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (KSHRS), has been designed to provide an innovative and comprehensive overview of the latest developments and techniques in hair transplant surgery. Over the course of three days participants will be treated to a wealth of educational opportunities that will surely enhance the knowledge and techniques of every hair restoration surgeon, from beginners to accomplished veterans. The program itself will be divided into two parts: Lectures and a Live Surgery Demonstration will be held for beginners, while intermediate and advanced specialists can attend the Live Surgery Observations which take place at various clinics around Seoul. These will be the world's first Live Surgery Observations held at small clinics and each will cover a different surgical aspect. Many recent and cutting-edge topics, such as robotic hair transplantation, will be addressed during sessions on the second and third days of the meeting.

Thanks goes to our esteemed faculty of 23 international experts who have graciously volunteered to share their invaluable knowledge and expertise with us, in addition to our exhibitors and sponsor, MSD, without whom this meeting would not be possible.

Lastly, we hope that all of you will have the chance to enjoy beautiful and historic Seoul, where you may find world class art and entertainment, shopping, cuisine, nightlife and historical landmarks in one of the most modern cities in the world. We have no doubt that this meeting will be a beneficial and memorable experience for all.

Warmest regards,
