    TLDR The technique reduces hair loss and increases hair density in early baldness.
    The study from 2000 introduced a technique for hair-grafting that aimed to minimize damage to existing hair follicles in patients with early pattern baldness. By using a Lutex headlight with loupe magnification, surgeons made precise incisions between existing follicles, reducing trauma during follicular hair transplantation. This method was tested on 144 patients and resulted in significantly less permanent hair loss and anagen effluvium, leading to greater hair density over successive sessions. The technique was particularly beneficial as it preserved existing hair, complementing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil that were used to slow hair thinning.
