The study evaluated the effectiveness of bundle hair grafting in 52 patients with androgenetic alopecia. It found that hair loss was most common in the third week post-grafting, while regrowth was most common in the fourth month. The procedure provided excellent cosmetic satisfaction even after one session. Side effects included facial edema (19.2%), temporary sensory loss at the donor site (5.8%), folliculitis (1.9%), and small pitted scarring (3.8%). Despite requiring time and skilled personnel, bundle hair grafting was concluded to be an effective and safe treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
