    TLDR 3D printing can greatly improve hair restoration and scalp treatments but faces challenges in clinical use.
    This review explores the transformative role of 3D printing in trichology, particularly in hair restoration and scalp treatments. It highlights the technology's potential to create personalized hair follicles, prostheses, and surgical templates, which can enhance the efficiency of hair restoration surgeries. The study discusses the use of biocompatible polymers and bioinks in 3D printing to develop patient-specific solutions. However, it also notes the challenges of integrating 3D printing into clinical practice, such as regulatory hurdles and the need for further research on long-term effects. Overall, the review underscores the significant impact of 3D printing on improving patient outcomes in hair regrowth therapies.
