Surgical hair restoration has improved since 1959, with new techniques like minigrafts, micrografts, and scalp reductions creating more natural hairlines and reducing bald skin, despite some risks and potential for scarring.

This review discusses hair transplantation as a permanent treatment for androgenetic alopecia, emphasizing the importance of stabilized hair loss, skilled surgical teams, and realistic expectations, while calling for more quantitative evidence from controlled trials.

This case report describes a patient experiencing nail nonadherence due to sterile matrix scarring associated with valproic acid use, and suggests nail bed excision with sterile matrix grafting as a potential surgical solution.

Hair restoration can be achieved through non-surgical treatments like minoxidil, antiandrogens, phototherapy, and PRP procedures, or through surgical methods like hair transplantation. Continued treatment is needed to maintain results, and full results are visible after 12-18 months.

This study evaluated laser excision of the fibrous band for oral submucous fibrosis treatment, noting that while it offers immediate relief, long-term effects require further evaluation due to potential drawbacks.

This article reviews surgical approaches for correcting cicatricial alopecia, highlighting the need for careful assessment of scar stability and ongoing medical treatment before and after hair restoration, but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers achieved complete reepithelialization and hair growth on a burn-injured scalp using a tissue-engineered dermal template with early micrograft hair follicle implantation.

This article discusses advancements in hair restoration techniques over 25 years, emphasizing a shift towards natural, undetectable results with the use of small grafts and reevaluated design philosophies, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that a bilayer wound dressing capable of releasing hydrogen sulfide promoted wound healing in rats by reducing inflammation, enhancing vascularization, and facilitating hair follicle regeneration.

This article discusses the Sacred Heart version of the bilobed flap for scalp reconstruction to close small defects without skin grafts and reports no new clinical results.

The document suggests that for better patient satisfaction in hair transplants, high-quality photos are needed, and using a narrow donor strip might lead to fewer grafts and dissatisfaction, but filling the scar with FUE grafts and using tranexamic acid can improve results.

This article discusses various techniques to achieve a cosmetically attractive single donor scar in hair restoration surgery, reporting no new clinical findings.

This article presents techniques that help hair restoration surgeons achieve aesthetically pleasing single donor scars after multiple surgeries, enhancing the viability of the single-scar technique.

This article discusses the unsightly scars left in the donor area after follicular unit transplantation and highlights the need for studies on cosmetic improvements, but it reports no new research findings.

This study found that beard and body hair can be used as additional donor sources for scalp transplants in androgenic alopecia, retaining their original color, curl, and calibre.

This review highlights the advantages of a new "Multi-Wave Punch" for follicular unit extraction in hair transplantation, noting its design reduces follicular damage and improves graft quality by effectively separating hair follicles from surrounding tissue.

Dynaplast tape reduces swelling after hair transplants effectively.

This article reviews methods for managing the donor area in hair restoration surgery to minimize scarring and reports no new results.

This article reviews strategies for planning and executing follicle graft harvesting using the strip technique, discussing procedural details but reporting no new clinical findings.

This study reports that both prolene and staplers are effective for closing the donor area in hair transplants, but staplers offer convenience and time efficiency.

This article reviews the history, methods, and complications of tissue expansion and serial excision for scar revision in the head and neck, and reports no new findings.

This study found that among Korean males with male pattern baldness, hair loss mostly progresses within 6 cm from the parietal whorl towards the occipital side.

This study found that non-pigmented hair follicles have significantly lower expression of nucleotide excision repair genes, which may be associated with reduced melanin production capacity in these follicles.

This study demonstrated that transplanting hair from the chest to the balding scalp is a viable alternative when scalp hair is depleted, with successful graft take and inconspicuous donor site healing.

This review describes the edge out punch for follicular unit excision, which may reduce follicle transection with its thicker walls and internal bevel design compared to other punch shapes, but reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses strategies to identify, prevent, and manage complications in FUE and reports no new clinical results.

This systematic review suggests that intraoperative corticosteroids can reduce postoperative edema in FUE hair transplantation donor areas, but highlights a need for more mechanistic studies to improve understanding of tissue regeneration.

In this study, the researchers reported that the hair transection rate during FUE surgery increased significantly by the end of the procedure, suggesting a higher workload affects the surgeon's performance.

In this study, researchers introduced the Sanusi FUE Score Scale to better predict and grade the difficulty of follicular unit excision hair transplantation by accounting for diverse hair and skin types, with further validation needed.

This article discusses the applications and contraindications of skin grafts in wound treatment and reports no new research findings.
