Synopsis: This paper discusses the evolution and rationale for follicular unit hair transplantation, as well as the logic for the various techniques used in its implementation. The central role of the follicular unit constant in the surgical planning is discussed, as well as the importance of keeping recipient sites small, using microscopic dissection and performing large hair transplant sessions.
Synopsis: The first of two paired articles, this paper focuses on the strategic planning that is necessary to optimize hair transplant repair procedures. The paper identifies the underlying problems that lead to poor cosmetic results and the limitations of the donor supply that limit its correction. It explains how to establish priorities to get the best results in the face of the constraints caused by outdated hair replacement techniques.
Q: I am female and thinning can I be a candidate for a Follicular Unit Hair Transplant? A: If it turns out that you have female pattern hair loss, you may be a candidate a hair transplant, but would need to be evaluated by a doctor who specializes in surgical hair restoration. In the evaluation, you should have your degree of hair loss assessed and donor supply measured, using an instrument called a densitometer, to be certain that you have enough permanent donor hair to meet your desired goals.

Q: What color hair is the thickest? I thought it was brown, followed by red then blonde? But I am also reading that red is the thickest but redheads have the fewest hairs. --S.F., Cook, Illionis A: In very general terms, the darker the hair, the thicker it is and the lower the density (hairs per area). For example, Asians have the darkest hair, the highest hair diameter and the lowest density. Scandinavian blonds have very high hair density and the fine (diameter) hair. But there are many exceptions, African Americans have black hair, but it is usually very fine and of low density. I have seen red heads in all categories.
Q: Both Propecia and Minoxidil definitely can work in the front of the scalp as long as there is some hair in the area. Although their mechanisms of action are different, both Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) act to thicken miniaturized hair regardless of where it is on the scalp. In fact, there are published data (Leyden et. al., JAAD, 1999) demonstrating this improvement in a controlled clinical trial of men with frontal hair loss. -- J.S., Great Falls, Virginia A: Both Propecia and Minoxidil definitely can work in the front of the scalp as long as there is some hair in the area. Although their mechanisms of action are different, both Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) act to thicken miniaturized hair regardless of where it is on the scalp. In fact, there are published data (Leyden et. al., JAAD, 1999) demonstrating this improvement with finasteride in a controlled clinical trial of men with frontal hair loss. The source of the confusion on this topic is the fact that the FDA limited the application of the drugs to the crown on the package inserts for both Propecia and Rogaine. The FDA did this because Upjohn (the company that introduced Rogaine)…
