Synopsis: Hypothesizes the possible causes of delayed growth following a hair transplant procedure. It differentiates between physiologic factors that cause normal variations in the growth cycle and those due to graft injury that can possibly be prevented by meticulous surgical techniques.
Synopsis: The “Carousel” is an automated device used for hair transplantation that simultaneously makes recipient sites and inserts grafts. The instrument can hold up to 100 grafts at time. In theory, the instrument could decrease the total operative time and eliminate some human factors that contribute to graft injury during the hair restoration process. The Carousel, however, was limited in that very close graft placement was not possible and it could not account for the great variability in the human scalp that sometimes rendered the device ineffective.
Synopsis: When follicular unit transplantation was still in its infancy, there were many detractors in the hair transplant community. This paper defended the procedure and explained its superiority over other hair replacement techniques in producing the best short and long-term cosmetic results.
Synopsis: Patients with tight scalps and snug donor closures often heal with fine scars, whereas patients with loose scalps occasionally heal with wide scars. A patient with the rare condition Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome shed light on this phenomenon. After studying his case, the authors conclude that the integrity of the scalp’s connective tissue was more important than scalp laxity in determining who would heal with a fine donor scar.
SUMMARY of Dr. Bernstein’s editorial commentary on Hwang SM et al. Does the Recipient Site Influence Hair Growth Characteristics in Hair Transplantation? The original article appeared in Dermatol Surg 2002; 28(9): 798-99. The field of hair transplantation in the United States began with Dr. Norman Orentreich’s famous 1959 paper on Donor Dominance. In it, he […]
Synopsis: This paper describes the technical and organizational skills needed for performing Follicular Unit Extraction Megasessions. It also points out some of the important long-term implications of FUE, especially regarding its inefficient use of donor area which potentially limits the ultimate donor supply.
SUMMARY of Dr. Perez-Meza's Abstract from his presentation at the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, 2005 – Sidney, Australia There have been great advances in hair restoration surgery over the past decade. New surgical techniques, instruments and medications have been developed to treat patients with hair loss. Some surgeons use needles to create the recipient sites and others use blades – both groups obtaining great results. There is some controversy, however, about the "ideal" instrument to make the recipient sites. The objective of this study was to evaluate three different blades and three different needles used to make sites in the recipient area and to compare the wound healing and hair growth after the hair transplan
The progressive decrease in hair shaft diameter that causes thinning (also called miniaturization) characteristic of male pattern baldness, can be decreased by the use of the DHT blocker Propecia (chemical name finasteride). Most men undergoing hair restoration surgery have some existing hair in the area that is to be transplanted that will thin over time and, in fact, may thin a bit more quickly as a result of the surgery. For men undergoing surgical hair restoration, the thinning of the surrounding hair can diminish the overall impact of the hair transplant. Even though Propecia has no effect on the transplanted hair, it can help to maintain the patient’s surrounding hair and is, therefore, useful as an adjunct to hair transplant surgery, to enable the patient to obtain a better overall result. The present study looks to see if Propecia given from one month before surgical hair restoration until eleven months after, can increase hair growth in the area surrounding the hair transplant. In the study, consisting of almost eighty men divided into two groups in a double-blind fashion were either given Propecia or a placebo. Growth was recorded by hair counts and by photos. The study showed that Propecia was…
