Automatic Biofibre Hair Implant: An Innovative Hair Restoration Technique for the Improvement of Quality of Life

The 2017 document discussed the Automatic Biofibre® Hair Implant, a hair restoration technique developed in Italy in 1993. This method uses biocompatible fibers, similar to natural hair, and can implant up to 800 hairs per hour, reducing scalp trauma. It was effective in treating hair loss or thinning in both men and women, with success depending on factors like a healthy scalp, a qualified physician, and proper aftercare. The technique was also used to treat androgenetic alopecia and post-surgical or post-traumatic defects. Two studies were mentioned: one involving 133 patients found yearly fiber loss was less than 10% in 91.4% of cases, with 96.2% patient satisfaction; another with 44 patients found an average yearly loss of fibers of around 20%. The document concluded that artificial hair implantation provides immediate cosmetic benefits and good results in over 90% of cases, but complications can occur without proper care.
