Dr. Julieta Peralta- Arambulo, is the first and only Filipino Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS), Click http://www.abhrs.com. ; the President and Founder of the Asian Hair Restoration Center, member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery and Asian Association of Hair Restoration Surgeons; a consultant in Skin and Cancer Foundation of the Philippines and Head of the hair transplant service at the Aesthetic Wellness Center, The Medical City.
In 1997, she learned the art of Follicular Unit Hair transplantation or FUE, the gold standard in hair transplantation under Dr. Allan K. Yung of Anew Medical Group Clinic in Willshire California. Follicular Unit Hair Transplantation is the end refinement of hair transplantation which is a procedure entailing detailed attention and artistry.
In 2009, Dr. Arambulo acquired the knowledge and honed her skills in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE): State of the Art Methodology and Instrumentation under Dr. James Harris in Denver, Colorado in 2009. FUE is the latest technique only performed by a few talented hair transplant specialists all over the World. She performs herself the FUE procedure using the “Powered Safe Scribe", offering this procedure as an alternative treatment, in patients with limited donor supply and who do not want donor linear scarring. FUE technique makes possible Body Hair Transplant, which gives new hope to patients with limited donor supply .
Dr. Arambulo updates herself with the new developments and techniques in hair restoration surgery by attending various scientific meetings and workshops worldwide . At the 22nd International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery Annual Scientific Meeting last October 2014, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, she had the privilege to lecture about her experience on “ FUE Eyebrow Transplant with use of Implanter”. She is also contributing her technique details on the difficult eyebrow transplant, in the 2nd edition of the book entitled:” Practical Aspects of Hair Transplantation in Asians”.
She strongly supports the Mission and Vision of International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery applying it as the guiding principles in hair transplant practice:
“To achieve excellence in patient outcomes by promoting member education, international collegiality, research, ethics and public awareness”.

"The American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery is a board organized for the purpose of examining and certifying physicians in the specialty of Hair Restoration Surgery. The American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (ABHRS) was formed in 1996 to fill the recognized need for a certifying body in the field of hair restoration. Its counterpart outside the United States, the International Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (IBHRS), was recognized internationally in 2000. The ABHRS/IBHRS examination is the only psychometrically and statistically validated examination dedicated to the specialty of hair restoration surgery. The express purpose of the organization is to promote the highest quality, ethical care for the patient and to this end provide certification for physicians in this specialty. The examination consists of written and oral portions, and passing the exam assures the public of an individual’s educational ability and experience to perform safe, aesthetically sensitive hair restoration surgery. Strive for excellence in all aspects of medical practice
The mission statement, goals and objectives of the ABHRS are to act for the benefit of the public to establish specialty standards and to examine surgeons’ skill, knowledge and aesthetic judgment in the field of hair restoration. The board will grant certification to candidates who meet the highest standards of the medical profession in the field of hair restoration surgery with the express provision that the ABHRS will not act as a business, vocational or post-secondary school."
