Viable Treatment

Hair transplantation for females has become a much more viable treatment option because of recent improvements in technique employing micrografts and minigrafts as well as multiple-strip donor harvesting. The author describes how these new techniques are applied to the various types of transplantation in women, such as for androgenetic alopecia, traction alopecia, eyebrows, inactive inflammatory dermatosis, hair loss, and postrhytidectomy scarring. “Pearls,” to emphasize the contrast in the approach to the treatment of women with that of their male counterparts and the importance of assessing for realistic expectations, are described. A review of 827 females seen in consultation over the last 10 years showed that 70% of women with androgenetic alopecia were candidates for hair transplants.

Germinal Cells

Hair transplantation methods as generally practiced utilize grafting of full follicles. Recent experimental evidence suggests that germinal cells responsible for follicular growth and differentiation may reside in specific localized areas within the follicle. This study was performed to relate experimental evidence to practical hair transplantation and to discuss results obtained from implantation of ½ follicular grafts. The study was done on four male patients with androgenetic alopecia who underwent transplantation with follicular half autografts. A total of 697 grafts of the upper ½ follicles and 694 grafts of lower ½ follicles were implanted. The results demonstrated that 50 hair shafts were produced from 697 upper ½ grafts, and 152 hair shafts from 694 lower ½ grafts. The conclusion is that the low percentage of terminal hair growth from ½ follicular grafts preclude this technique as an alternative method for cosmetic hair transplantation.

Scalp Biopsy

Background: We report on a first case of lichen planopilaris (LPP) mimicking androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in an individual who has been break-dancing on his head for many years. LPP is an autoimmune inflammatory scalp condition that when left untreated can result in scarring and irreversible hair loss. The etiology of LPP is unknown. Different treatment modalities are used for LPP and AGA. Objective: To increase the awareness of physicians to the possibility of scarring hair loss (LPP) presenting like AGA. Results: Scalp examination showed scarring patches of hair loss. A scalp biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of LPP. Conclusion: Chronic scalp trauma due to break dancing may be a trigger for LPP. A meticulous scalp examination should be performed before making a diagnosis of nonscarring conditions of hair loss such as AGA. Early recognition of LPP and appropriate treatment are important before scarring and irreversible hair loss ensue.

Male Pattern

Background: The Norwood classification system is commonly used to ascertain the progress of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) with a robust and quick assessment, but it lacks precision in the frontal region, notably during the onset of male pattern hair loss. Objective: Due to the ongoing technical improvement in restorative hair transplantation practices, we aim to develop simple quantitative methods for measuring the progression of AGA. Methods: Here, we used a quantitative system to evaluate the progress of AGA of the frontal receding hairline in a case study with 41 patients. Results: We found subtle differences in the extent of frontotemporal regressions that were not captured by the Norwood classification system. The majority of patients exhibited significantly larger right-sided frontotemporal regressions. Conclusion: These results indicate that the quantification system used is a valuable tool in complementing the Norwood classification system to more precisely determine the recessing hairline characteristics in early stages of hair loss. Our findings also suggest that hairline regression in AGA-affected patients is asymmetrical, a hitherto unnoticed disorder-associated phenomenon with unknown biological causality.
