“…In the present studies, the average number of grafts per session is less than 1000 and transection rates between 5 and 8 %. The cost is also high for now [20][21][22]. Based on our experience, on average, a patient is able to tolerate a 6-7 h hair transplant session.…”

“…In recent years, an increase in the number of experienced surgeons who perform this method and the use of automated equipment, such as micromotor systems, powered punching devices, the Neograft device, computer-assisted robotic systems, has decreased the operation duration and increased the number of grafts that can be collected. As a result, the FUE method is becoming more and more popular and a more frequently utilized method [19][20][21][22].…”

The main purpose of hair transplantation is to restore the hair loss. During the process, obtaining a natural appearance and adequate hair intensity is important. In the FUE method, grafts can be taken without changing their natural structure, there is no need for magnification, and the grafts can be transplanted directly without using any other processes. Because there is no suture in the FUE method, patients do not experience these incision site problems and scar formation. The FUE method enables us to achieve a natural appearance with less morbidity.

“…He proposed to use 2-4 mm punches with regard to 1 mm because, according to him, the transection rate was interestingly high in 1 mm harvests. In the market, there are several FUE donor harvesting devices available; of which some are hand-held punches, some are motorized and some are single user-directed robotic system which is also known as Surgically Advanced Follicular Extraction and ARTAS robotic systems [28][29][30][31][32] . Success with FUE depends on being able to predictably dissect excellent-quality grafts with minimum transection rates from the donor region [5,29,33,34] .…”

Aim: Numerous non-surgical methods and surgical options are available for the solution of baldness in the practice. Technology provides mighty weapons in this field. Thus, individualized solutions are best carried out with well-trained and qualified practitioners. Here, a modification of follicular unit extraction, direct hair implantation is introduced with previously licensed unique pens. Methods: Follicular unit extraction and direct hair implantation methods were carried out in 207 hair transplantations between January and December of 2014. The nests for the grafts were created via pieces of hand-cut razor blade in follicular unit extraction. In addition, a new modification of follicular unit extraction, direct hair implantation, is done via pens that are produced for this purpose. Results: Thirty-eight direct hair implantations were performed in addition with 169 follicular unit extractions. An average number of 2973 grafts were transplanted. Mean operation time was calculated as 385 min. Conclusion: Hair transplantation is still the best solution for hair loss. In conjunction with the surgery, the addition of non-surgical interventions may give a better result to the patient. On the other hand, the promising results in the field of regenerative medicine with cell-based solutions may alter hair transplantation and change the options solely into this field.

“…It will be interesting to see whether this is reflected in the number of facial hair transplants, or whether ever-improving TUE technology such as robotic TUE (Avram & Watkins, 2014), combined with the hardwired perceptual correlates of beardedness, will ensure the only way is up.…”

Over the past few years, an increasing number of men have received surgery to enhance or restore facial hair. This came at a time when beards re-entered mainstream fashion. Drawing on the research literature, this article explores the apparent link between facial hair fashion and rates of beard transplants, and considers deeper-seated psychological explanations for the trend, including perceptions of masculinity, social dominance, age and attractiveness. The question of whether beard transplants will continue to proliferate is also explored. Key wordsFacial hair; Male appearance; Cosmetic surgery; Appearance trends Key pointsData suggests the global incidence of beard transplants increased three-fold between 2012 and 2014.Research has consistently linked full-bearded men to greater perceived masculinity, social dominance and age.More mixed evidence exists regarding perceptions of attractiveness for men with full beards.Recent research suggests full coverage and uniformity of facial hair, which can be achieved through facial hair surgery, is linked to greater attractiveness.
