“…This technique requires initially the surgical excision of a thin strip of scalp that contains dense HFs and subsequently the isolation of the individual follicles and implantation to the hairless scalp. 114 Although transplantation of whole follicles is considered as the gold standard for hair restoration, studies demonstrated that segments of the HF can also induce hair growth after transplantation. 85,100,[115][116][117][118][119] Transplantation of a truncated human HF after amputating the bulb resulted in hair regeneration, suggesting that the bulb compartment can be regenerated from the DS compartment.…”

“…Various reasons account for dead grafts including the skill of the surgeon, the density of graft placement, careless handling and preparation of the graft units, and desiccation of the grafts while awaiting insertion. These techniques have been recently reviewed in detail [37].…”

Androgenetic alopecia only becomes a medical problem when the hair loss is excessive, premature and distressing to the patient. A number of medical treatments aimed at arresting the progression of the hair loss have become available in recent years, and surgical treatments are constantly being refined. The three distinct aims of therapy for male androgenetic alopecia are: to arrest further progression, to stimulate regrowth and to conceal the hair loss. Topical minoxidil stimulates regrowth but may or may not arrest further progression. Oral 5 alpha reductase inhibitors arrest further progression but may or may not stimulate regrowth. Hair transplantation, coloured hair sprays, wigs and toupees conceal the hair loss but do not stimulate regrowth or arrest further hair loss. Hair transplantation redistributes hair more evenly over the scalp. Substantial efforts have been undertaken to refine the methods used to evaluate therapeutic response and define acceptable primary and secondary endpoints for clinical trials. Currently the US Federal Drug Association (FDA) accepts numerical hair count data and patient subjective response as primary endpoints and standardized scalp photography as a secondary endpoint. This difficulty in evaluation of outcome is magnified in clinical practice where hair counts are not feasible and the clinician relies overly on patient subjective assessment. Serial scalp photography is especially valuable in this setting.

“…A more important advance, which has allowed the surgeon to produce a natural hair transplant, is the creation of small hair grafts and their placement into small recipient sites. Slits are easily made by a variety of newly developed hair instruments, but most authors use a 16‐gauge standard needle to prepare the recipient site for one to two hair grafts 3–5 . However, during the preparation of new slits and insertion of grafts, the neighboring grafts tend to “pop out,” especially in hair restoration of the face (eyebrows, mustache, and sideburns) 2 .…”
