TLDR New hair transplant method allows for hair regrowth in the donor area and less scarring.
The document from 2015 discusses Partial Longitudinal Follicular Unit Transplantation (PL-FUT), a hair transplantation technique that offers advantages over traditional methods by extracting only part of the follicular unit, allowing for hair regeneration in the donor area and minimizing scarring. It is particularly beneficial for patients with androgenic alopecia, small donor areas, or scarring alopecias like frontal fibrosing alopecia. The document includes case studies, such as a 66-year-old female with frontal fibrosing alopecia who received 2,952 grafts over three treatments and a 37-year-old female with eyebrow loss who received 300 grafts, both showing satisfactory results. PL-FUT is described as minimally invasive, patient-friendly, and capable of producing natural results, though it has limitations with certain hair types and cannot achieve the original hair density. The study was institutionally funded, with one author employed by the Hair Science Institute and no conflicts of interest declared by the other author.
