    TLDR Propofol-ketamine and propofol-fentanyl are effective and safe for cosmetic surgery sedation.
    The document contained two letters discussing sedation techniques and hair transplantation. The first letter highlighted the benefits and safety considerations of propofol-ketamine and propofol-fentanyl sedation in cosmetic surgery. The second letter debated hair density in hair transplantation, with Dr. Marritt challenging Dr. Unger's claims of achieving 220 hairs/cm², noting the average observed density was around 160 hairs/cm². Marritt emphasized the difficulty of consistently achieving high-density results and the importance of skilled practitioners. Additionally, the Indonesian Society for Dermatologic Surgery was established to improve patient care through a structured training program, despite initial opposition, aiming to produce proficient dermatologic surgeons.

      Key treatments for hair preservation include minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride, and microneedling, with additional options like specific shampoos, oils, biotin, zinc, tretinoin, clascoterone, and low-level laser therapy. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, reducing stress, and addressing nutrient deficiencies can also support hair health.

      A user had a disappointing dermatologist appointment where they were denied prescriptions for Dutasteride and oral Minoxidil for hair loss and were only offered a hair transplant referral. Other users sympathized, discussed self-medication, and suggested consulting a transplant doctor for up-to-date treatments.
