    TLDR The method improves natural appearance in hair restoration by properly evaluating and treating the temporal peak region.
    In 2002, Dominic A. Brandy, MD, presented a method for evaluating and treating hair loss in the temporal peak region of patients with male pattern baldness. The method includes a grading system from A to D for the degree of baldness in this area and a surgical technique using 1.0 mm incisions at a 10° angle for implanting fine one-haired grafts, aiming for a density of 20 hairs per square centimeter. Brandy highlighted the need for cosmetic harmony between the frontal hairline and the temporal peak region, suggesting that the more anterior the hairline, the more anterior the temporal peak reconstruction should be. The study concluded that proper evaluation and treatment of the temporal peak region are crucial for achieving a natural appearance in hair restoration surgery, although the number of participants in the study was not provided.
