January 2017…

It seems I have just made the plans andgoals for the year, and this year have already passed and it is the middle ofJanuary of 2018. The time really flies…

And I was thinking how many of new year resolutions for 2017 I was able to accomplish. I looked at my notebook and therewere 16 things in the list. I finished 6 of them, 3 are ongoing and 7 Icould not even start..

Not very impressive..

I could see with my own eyes what I coulddo last year and what I couldn’t.

So this time I will make plan for 2018 too.

And I have to do 7 things that I couldn’t startlast year.

Today I will tell you about one of the thingsthat I could do out of 2017 resolutions.

My resolution was to have 4 internationallectures in 2017.

So, on December 7^th I had my 4^thinternational lecture (Japan, Tokyo, Grand Hyatt Hotel).

I am glad I could accomplish thisresolution.

The topic of the lecture was “Hair loss thatnobody can avoid: knowing 11common symptoms and preventing in advance”.

I started my research related to hair lossin 2002.

I’ve seen many different patients with hairloss and found out that there are 11 basic symptoms of hair loss. I will tellyou about them in the next blog entry.

This time during the lecture I focused onsome of the features that are typical for Japanese patients.

Even though Koreans and Japanese are bothAsian races, hair types, lifestyle habits of taking care of the hair, and thelifestyle in general are different. Because of that I could see somedifferences in treatment between Korean and Japanese patients.

This kind of lecture is not common inJapan, so I was asked to give the lecture on this topic.

During this trip I also wanted to visitsome of the distinctive hospitals and hair salons in Japan.

I felt my vision was getting narrower and Iwanted to look around.

And I would like to take this opportunityto thank hair salons and hospitals one more time for showing me around.

Back to the topic…
