On January 20, the 18th Hurun Best of the Best Awards ceremony was held in Shanghai, gathering hundreds of industry elites, business leaders, and social celebrities to showcase premium brand preferences among China's affluent demographics. As a leader in China's hair restoration industry, Lotus received the "Most Preferred High-End Hair Transplant Brand" award, recognized for its innovative technology and premium services that redefine fashionable, healthy living.
The Hurun Best of the Best Awards annually honors brands demonstrating exceptional industry recognition and development achievements. Lotus became 2021's sole hair transplant awardee, reflecting high-end consumers' endorsement of its reputation, technological innovation, and groundbreaking no-shave hair transplantation technology.
For 18 consecutive years, the Hurun Research Institute has published its "Best of the Best - China's Millionaire Brand Preference Report," widely considered the gold standard for understanding high-net-worth individuals' lifestyles and consumption patterns. This authoritative report serves as essential guidance for luxury brands in China.
"Youth hair loss has become increasingly prevalent," noted Ms. Su Lin, Lotus's North China General Manager, during her acceptance speech. "Younger generations have higher aesthetic standards and greater awareness of hair transplantation solutions. Through our 17 years of specialization, we're committed to helping hair loss patients regain confidence and achieve their beauty aspirations."
Established in 2005, Lotus pioneered China's first scar-free hair transplant chain and has represented Chinese hair restoration technology at 13 consecutive World Hair Transplant Congresses. Its 2020 introduction of no-shave hair transplantation marked an industry first in China, earning recognition as the "5G Innovation of Hair Transplantation" from industry experts.
Dr. Zhou Zonggui, Lotus's Shanghai Technical Director and Associate Chief Physician, participated in the concurrent Hurun Luxury Leaders Forum. "China's new consumption era demands personalized, privacy-conscious beauty solutions," he explained. "Our no-shave technology addresses youth preferences by ensuring optimal results while enhancing the service experience."
As a drafting participant of the "Hair Transplantation Specification" released at the 5th China Hair Transplant Congress, Lotus helped establish industry standards. The guidelines identify two core dimensions: extraction (using FUT/FUE techniques) and implantation (via forceps, implantation pens, or immediate methods). Traditionally requiring shaving, Lotus's no-shave approach revolutionized both extraction and implantation processes.
Currently implemented across all 34 directly operated branches, Lotus's no-shave technology had surpassed 10,000 procedures by October 2021, averaging 2,200 grafts per session and totaling over 20 million hair follicles transplanted. This milestone officially inaugurated China's no-shave hair transplantation era.
"In the new consumption landscape," Dr. Zhou observed, "surgical and non-surgical hair loss treatments will coexist, with non-surgical options potentially dominating due to their accessibility and broader market appeal."
Su Lin affirmed: "This honor validates Lotus's brand strength. We'll continue advancing no-shave technology, premium services, and medical excellence while innovating to deliver superior patient care."
Lotus's primary focus has remained unchanged: to provide the best possible hair restoration solutions to all of our patients.
We provide the most reasonable cost and best services.
