Follicular unit transplantation, a hair restoration technique using small hair grafts, was pioneered by Bob Limmer in the late 1980s and is still widely used today with minor improvements.

Both surgical hairline advancement and follicular unit transplantation effectively lower the female hairline, but they differ in speed, scarring, and naturalness of results.

Various surgical methods for hair restoration, like scalp reconstruction and tissue expansion, have been developed, but follicular unit transplant remains the most common procedure for correcting pattern baldness.

Dr. Dominic A. Brandy shared methods to fix aesthetic problems from old hair restoration techniques, using methods like follicular unit grafting and scalp removal, which helped patients look more natural after surgery. He also suggested using oral finasteride and topical minoxidil to control hair loss in most men with baldness, especially those who had flap surgery.

In 1999, surgical hair restoration improved a lot, making hair look more natural with fewer procedures, thanks to better scalp treatments and a new method called follicular-unit hair grafting.

Follicular unit hair transplantation is better than Miniflap Hair Restoration due to less scarring and more natural results.

Dr. George A. Farber recommends using follicular unit transplantation for hair restoration because it gives a more natural look and has fewer problems compared to the older miniflap technique.

Children with alopecia areata have different trichoscopic features than adults, including more empty follicular openings and pigtail hairs.

Platelet-rich plasma can potentially improve hair regeneration by increasing follicular gene expression and hair growth activity.

The study found that long-term sun exposure does not significantly affect follicular plugs on the scalp, and the scalp's appearance is unique compared to other body parts.

Fat-related cells are important for initiating hair growth.

Hair color is determined by melanin produced and transferred in hair follicles.

Hair follicle size and distribution vary significantly across different body sites.

Accurate diagnosis and aggressive treatment are crucial to prevent permanent hair loss in cicatricial alopecia.

Using platelet plasma growth factors in baldness surgery can increase the number of hair follicles.

Hidradenitis suppurativa, a chronic skin disease, can be managed with antibiotics, lifestyle changes, and in severe cases, surgery. Early diagnosis and careful planning are key, and laser treatment can be an efficient solution for mild to severe cases.

The skin is a complex barrier for drug penetration, but understanding its structure and interactions can improve drug delivery methods.

Scientists have found a way to create hair follicles from skin cells of newborn mice, which can grow and cycle naturally when injected into adult mouse skin.

The absence of functional sebaceous glands causes hair follicle destruction and scarring alopecia.

Trichoscopy is a useful tool for diagnosing different hair and scalp diseases by their unique visual features.

The new "differential stripping" method effectively measures how much substance gets into hair follicles.

Some people with pattern hair loss may also have scalp inflammation and scarring similar to lichen planopilaris.
