About the Stough Lectureship
The Stough Lectureship recognizes an individual with vision and a demonstrated passion for education. Established in 2019, the Stough Lecture honors ISHRS Co-founder Dow Stough, MD, who in the early 1990’s recognized that the fractured, chaotic, and often secretive world of hair restoration needed an anchor.
The founding of the ISHRS in 1993 brought order to chaos, turned competitors into colleagues, and created an educational organization that has changed the face and improved the outcomes of hair restoration throughout the world. A very well-respected dermatologist from Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA, Dr. Stough was one of the earliest proponents of follicular unit transplantation and natural looking hairlines, and his focus on innovation and teaching is evidenced by Dow being the youngest President, Program Chair, Golden Follicle Award winner, and Manfred Lucas Award winner in ISHRS history.
He is a true leader and his contagious enthusiasm has inspired and motivated many hair transplant surgeons. His knack for encouraging colleagues – newcomers and old-timers alike – to get involved, share knowledge, and ask questions, is perhaps his greatest legacy.
