TLDR A committee was formed to improve hair restoration for certain hair diseases by collecting and analyzing data.

The document discussed the establishment of a committee by the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) to register hair restoration results for patients with cicatricial alopecia and other hair diseases excluding androgenetic alopecia. This initiative aimed to systematically collect and analyze data to improve understanding and treatment outcomes for these conditions. The focus was on conditions such as scarring alopecias, temporal triangular alopecia, aplasia cutis congenita, and alopecia areata. The committee's work was intended to enhance the knowledge base and inform future research and clinical practices in the field of hair restoration for these specific types of alopecia.
