June 2026 in “Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery” In this case report, necrotic ulceration caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae at a pubic hair donor site was observed in a 52-year-old man following hair transplantation, highlighting the need for metabolic screening and culture-guided management to prevent complications in such procedures.
August 2025 in “Macromolecular Bioscience” This study found that microneedles co-delivering minoxidil and a nitric oxide donor effectively promoted hair growth and follicle transition to the growth phase in an alopecia mouse model, suggesting a promising new approach for androgenetic alopecia treatment.
November 2024 in “IP Indian Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dermatology” This study found that the severity of acute donor site effluvium after hair transplants was significantly correlated with the number of grafts extracted and longer surgery durations.
December 2023 in “Facial Plastic Surgery” This chapter reviews the technical and artistic considerations for maintaining high-quality cosmetic outcomes in patients undergoing follicular unit excision for hair transplantation and provides no new clinical results.
November 2023 in “Facial Plastic Surgery” This study discusses the advantages and disadvantages of two hair graft harvesting methods, strip follicular unit transplantation and follicular unit excision, highlighting their implications for creating effective surgical plans for hair restoration without providing specific new results.
November 2023 in “Facial Plastic Surgery” This review highlights that nonscalp donor hair harvesting, particularly from the beard, chest, and abdomen, can provide additional grafts for patients with insufficient scalp hair, though it requires high technical expertise.
April 2023 in “Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery” In this study, researchers analyzed the occipital donor area for hair transplantation among men aged 50–55 with androgenetic alopecia and found that while most subjects met standard safe donor area criteria, individual variations suggest a conservative approach to donor area selection.
