TLDR The Calvitron method for hair transplantation was effective in about 90% of the 25 patients treated for hair loss.
In 1998, a study was conducted on 25 patients using the Calvitron method for hair transplantation to treat androgenic alopecia, a condition affecting 20-30% of the male and 5% of the female population. The patients were monitored for 6 months post-implantation. The study found that hair graft transplants were the most effective treatment in about 90% of the cases. Each patient received between 300 to 620 grafts, or 600 to 1200 hair follicles, in one session. The study concluded that while there were numerous surgical options for treating alopecia, none provided a single solution applicable to all problems.
