YouTube, others platforms not adequate for hair transplant training: NMC

New Delhi [India], September 28 (ANI): The National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued guidelines on aesthetic procedures and warned that watching videos on YouTube or other platforms is not adequate for training to perform aesthetic procedures like hair transplant.

“It may be noted that watching in workshops or on YouTube or similar platforms is not adequate training to start aesthetic surgery or including hair transplant,” said Yogendra Malik, Member, Ethics and Medical Registration Board (EMRB), NMC.

“Surgical assistant/technicians should perform tasks only under the supervision of an RMP,” said the NMC official.

NMC has also mentioned that aesthetic procedures, including hair transplants, are not emergency surgery hence there is no case of allowing any untrained person to do it.
