Caveat emptor re cosmetic procedures where the CEO gets it done to show confidence!

HAIR is back to where it was pre-ROTH conference. IMO this one fits the TGDT theme well because of early penetration, growth in procedures even when economies ran on the cliff's edge during 2008-2010, procedure tailwind blowing from FUT towards FUE (see first figure in stats below). 4 systems in Japan, 5 in S Korea, 3 in HK, 3 in Thailand, 3 in Taiwan, 2 in Philippines, 1 in Singapore, i in Shanghai, ZERO in India. I think Brazil has 5.

Stats below from top clinic in NYC. I now have more than a smidgen but still less than small.
