Living under increasing pressure and irregular living habits, a large number of Chinese suffer from hair loss. Those who are very concerned about their appearance are anxious to find any possible means to fix this problem. In this context, China's hair transplant industry has witnessed a boom. Many institutes offering training courses on hair transplant techniques have been set up. To attract more trainees, some of these organizations advertise that such techniques as well as corresponding marketing skills can be mastered within three days, and their monthly income in this industry can reach as much as 10,000 yuan ($1,567). If you know the so-called physician who conducts a hair transplant on you only received three-day training, I suppose you must be nervous and uneasy, or even have nightmares. Considering the complexity of hair transplant, it should not be a low-entry industry. Those who perform hair transplants should be dedicated, skilled doctors, rather than graduates from a three-day cram course.
