Will be in charge of the core course requirements and qualifying examination for Hair Transplant surgery training for the Belgian students enrolled in a post graduate degree in “Aesthetic Medicine”.
2015
In collaboration with Dr. Greg Williams and the BOG, special request for the inclusion of a new paragraph in section 3.1 of prEN 16844, recognition of the term “Hair Transplantation surgery“ and special mention allowing only appropriately trained medical doctors to perform all the steps in a hair transplant procedure that involve incisions in the skin.
2012-2013
In collaboration with Dr Jean Hebrant,) SBME President (Belgian Society of Esthetic Medicine), we obtained for Belgium the passing of a new and unique law in Europe which entitles an «Aesthetic Doctor» (MD with a post graduate training in aesthetic medicine) to perform hair transplant surgery legally.
2011-2015
Extended work with the CEN (European Committee for Standardization) in order to avoid that Hair Transplant Practice would be in Europe solely and legally reserved to doctors specialized in plastic surgery. Thanks to our perseverance we succeeded.
