Hair Transplant

AbstractAlopecia in the scalp region leads to psychosocial embarrassment for an individual. Alopecia could be due to several reasons, including genetic, hormonal, traumatic and infections. Cicatricial alopecias (CAs) are considered as trichological emergency, since their progression is rapid and always results in permanent hair loss. The pathogenesis, disease progression and prognosis of CA are poorly understood, and the treatment process is still evolving. An early diagnosis must be established, and aggressive treatment protocol should be followed in the management of scarring alopecia. This article presents various aspects of CA and determines whether hair transplant (HT) should be done in this condition.

Scarring Alopecia

Aim: The purpose of this article is to prove the importance of autologous fat transfer (AFT) in scarring alopecia. Methods: We present a complete clinical report of 21 cases treated with a combined procedure of AFT and hair transplantation (HT) done in the last three years. Results: The main findings of this study are the constant, early and more predictable hair regrowth after the hair transplant done on a pre-treated scarring alopecia. Conclusion: Tissue regeneration through AFT can significantly improve hair growth in the area of scarring alopecia, underlining, once again, the tremendous potential of this approach. Future studies may need to be carried out.

Timely Treatment

The nursing process is an important part of the whole treatment process. On the example of patients with uterine myoma, the role of the nursing staff was revealed. The study of case histories of 116 patients showed that most of them had a burdened obstetric and gynecological history, manifested by violations of sexual hygiene, untimely elimination of existing violations, fear of patients before a visit to the doctor. Nurses are more accessible to patients; in more relaxed and confidential communication, they can contribute to early diagnosis, timely treatment and the correct tactics for managing patients with myoma

The article presents clinical observation of a rare variant of scarring alopecia - pseudopelade Brock. The presented case demonstrates the important role of detailed examination and close attention to patients with long-term foci of hair loss in the absence of positive dynamics from the therapy, maintaining clinical alertness and conducting a broad differential diagnostic search to exclude rare dermatoses, and also confirms the need for histological examination of skin biopsies to verify the diagnosis.

Male Pattern

AbstractPatterned hair loss which includes both male pattern hair loss (MPHL) or androgenic alopecia (AGA) and female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is the most common indication for hair transplant surgery. However, not all such patients are candidates for hair transplants. There are eight conditions that cause patients to not be appropriate candidates. These are: diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA), cicatricial alopecia (CA), patients with unstable hair loss, patients with insufficient hair loss, very young patients, patients with unrealistic expectations, patients with psychologic disorders such as body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and trichotillomania, and patients who are medically unfit. In addition, there are patients who are poor candidates and who should undergo hair transplantation only if they understand and accept limited results. The key to identifying these patients involves performing careful and detailed history and examination at the time of consultation.

AbstractHair transplantation being an elective aesthetic surgery, the importance of informed consent cannot be overstated. Explaining the condition of hair loss, the causes, progress, prognosis, and all available treatment options is a part of this process. Providing conflict-free information, ensuring that the patient comprehends this information, and allowing him/her to make the decision to authorize the surgeon to perform the procedure is the moral obligation of the hair transplant surgeon. The benefits of this approach are noticeable and one of the most effective ways to have a satisfied patient and reduce the possibility of claims.
