Experience on Biocompatible Artificial Hair Implant

The study evaluated the efficacy of biocompatible artificial hair implants in 682 patients (488 males and 184 females) aged between 25 and 70 years old, with diagnosed androgenetic alopecia. The patients underwent a test implant to rule out hypersensitivity by implanting 100 fibers on a selected skin spot. If no reaction was detected, five weeks later 500-1,200 fibers were further implanted per session at a minimum interval of 5 weeks until the required aesthetic result was achieved. The average number of sessions for each patient was 5, and the average number of implanted fibers was 2,100 (ranging from 800 to 12,000). The treated scalp area returned to normal appearance and tenderness in 3 days. The study concluded that the socio-psychological benefit and the life quality improvement of the patients were significant, and the use of highly biocompatible fibers was a successful strategy.
