Surgical Options

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of baldness and its incidence has increased over the past few years with an earlier age of onset being widely reported all over the world. Although it is reported more often in men, it affects women as well. With the growing cosmetic concern of patients, emphasis has shifted from the more traditional treatment options such as finasteride and minoxidil to surgical options such as hair transplantation. This review briefly highlights all of the treatment options available for AGA so far. A special focus is on current data available on hair transplantation surgeries and the various methods, merits and demerits and limitations of surgery. The literature research considered published journal articles (scientific reviews) from 1990 to date. Studies were identified by searching electronic databases (MEDLINE and PubMed) and the reference lists of respective articles. Only articles available in English were considered for this review.

The author presents a technique of strip donor harvesting for hair transplantation that excises the scar from the previous harvest, leaving the patient with a single, straight, cosmetically pleasing scar on completion of several surgical hair restoration procedures. Because it is sometimes necessary to perform deep inferior undermining to accomplish scar excision, familiarity with the neck's anatomy is important.

Viable Treatment

Hair transplantation for females has become a much more viable treatment option because of recent improvements in technique employing micrografts and minigrafts as well as multiple-strip donor harvesting. The author describes how these new techniques are applied to the various types of transplantation in women, such as for androgenetic alopecia, traction alopecia, eyebrows, inactive inflammatory dermatosis, hair loss, and postrhytidectomy scarring. “Pearls,” to emphasize the contrast in the approach to the treatment of women with that of their male counterparts and the importance of assessing for realistic expectations, are described. A review of 827 females seen in consultation over the last 10 years showed that 70% of women with androgenetic alopecia were candidates for hair transplants.

ABSTRACTTechniques in hair transplantation have evolved recently which make results look more natural. Hair restoration is one of the most exciting and innovative surgical fields in aesthetic surgery today. A precise appreciation of anatomy has allowed the useof follicular unit grafts. With better methods of harvesting and implantation, hair transplantation results represent a blend of art and science.

As the number of hair follicles transplanted in a patient is approximately 2000 or more, hair transplantation by a manual implanter requires a considerable amount of time and money and demands a great amount of patience and pain tolerance from both patients and surgeons. In addition, many surgeons frequently experience musculoskeletal disorders owing to the numerous simple repetitive motions of the shoulder and wrist during the procedure. Moreover, the results of the surgery may vary depending on the skill of the surgeon. Although the hair follicle extraction technology has advanced in recent years, the hair follicle transplantation technology still uses a simple hand-held implanter owing to the difficulty of transplanting hair follicles and hair. In this study, a needle transportable semi-automatic hair follicle implanter that can continuously transplant hair follicles is introduced to alleviate the inconvenience of the existing manual implanter. In the developed semi-automatic implanter, a plurality of needles, into which the hair follicles are inserted, are sequentially supplied from the needle supply magazine to the implanter body by the guide groove. The hair follicles in the supplied needles are transplanted to the scalp through the forward and backward movement of the needle gripper and driving motors. The developed implanter can transplant several hair follicles without any replacement, which can shorten surgery time and reduce the fatigue experienced by patients and surgeons. The effectiveness of the proposed implanter was verified through the results of animal and clinical experiments.
