    TLDR Hair transplantation has improved to use smaller grafts for a natural look and may include follicle cloning in the future; non-surgical treatments are also effective.
    In the paper from 2001, Dr. Marc R. Avram reviewed the advancements in hair transplantation techniques from the 1960s through 2001, noting a shift from large grafts to smaller 1-4 hair grafts for a more natural appearance and the importance of realistic expectations and ongoing hair loss. Techniques for women focused on increasing density behind the hairline, and laser hair transplantation was explored, with CO₂ lasers approved by the FDA but limited in use due to complications. Medical therapies like minoxidil and finasteride were acknowledged as effective non-surgical treatments. The paper suggested the future of hair transplantation might include hair follicle cloning to address donor hair limitations. The paper did not report on specific studies or the number of participants involved in any clinical evaluations.

      The hair transplant has a straight, unnatural-looking hairline that many find unappealing. The person is not using finasteride or minoxidil, which may affect future hair retention.

      The conversation is about the effectiveness of finasteride (fin) in preventing hair loss after a hair transplant. Some users have experienced hair thinning and loss after stopping finasteride, while others have had success with finasteride and minoxidil (min) in maintaining their transplanted hair. The general consensus is that finasteride is important for younger patients to prevent further hair loss.
