TLDR Follicular unit hair transplantation is the standard method for natural-looking hair restoration in androgenic alopecia.
The 2010 document reviews the evolution of hair transplantation, focusing on follicular unit hair transplantation (FUHT) as the standard technique for treating androgenic alopecia. It outlines the shift from larger grafts to the use of follicular units, which yield natural and undetectable results. The procedure involves extracting donor hair, dissecting it into follicular units, creating incisions in the recipient area, and implanting the units. The document stresses the importance of realistic expectations, proper patient selection, and combining transplantation with medical treatments. It also discusses creating a natural hairline, the meticulous insertion of grafts, and the potential for future advancements like robotic extraction and follicle cloning. Complications are rare, and the document encourages dermatologists to become familiar with and offer FUHT.
