1979. Gil Mennetrey meets Docteur Pierre Bédard from Montreal in Canada. The surgeon was already considered by many international specialists as one of the world’s best doctors carrying out hair transplants. The men, both passionate about research into hair loss, become firm friends. The friendship has lasted for nearly 30 years now, despite the 8,000 kilometers between Quebec and France, and they are still as close today as they were when they first met.
It was Pierre Bédard who supplied Gil with the famous revolutionary technique of Follicular Microtransplantation.
