Dr. Lawrence Fremont graduated from the University of Toronto in both science and medicine. From 1966 until 1985, he served on the staff of two Toronto hospitals, providing emergency medicine while managing a busy general practice. Drawing from his extensive medical and surgical trauma experience, he developed his own techniques and artistic approach to hair restoration. By attending meetings in New York, Los Angeles, and Hot Springs, Arkansas, prior to the establishment of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) in 1993, Dr. Fremont further enhanced his knowledge through the exchange of ideas with other medical professionals interested in hair loss and its restoration.
Dr. Fremont was one of the first members to join ISHRS, having already initiated a teaching program to train other Canadian and international physicians in his hair restoration techniques. He was frequently requested to lecture at various professional colleges and at hospital rounds for plastic surgery residents. After receiving a medical license in Israel in 1987, Dr. Fremont opened the first Hair Transplant Clinic in Israel and subsequently established satellite clinics in Hungary, Austria, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, the United States, and Costa Rica. Today, many of his students, who are now pillars within the ISHRS, proudly wear the restored hair he gave them. At the request of Dr. Otar Norwood, founder of ISHRS, Dr. Fremont submitted an article for the first Forum paper on his personal approach to the training of physicians in hair transplantation. As an investigator for Merck Pharmaceuticals on the drug Finasteride and an active member of the Canadian Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons, Dr. Fremont has made significant contributions to the field. Though he has retired his medical license in Israel, he continues to practice hair restoration in Ontario and British Columbia, Canada, mostly through referrals, and remains in demand for teaching the finer details of hair transplantation, including new methods to hone doctors’ skills.
