Opis

Hair serves an important cosmetic function in humans and either the lack or excess of hair causes significant emotional stress. Pattern hair loss (androgenic alopecia, PHL) represents the most common cause of baldness in men. The past decade has been significant development in the management of androgenic hair loss. While medical therapy with both minoxidil and finasteride has a definite place in the management of male pattern hair loss (MPHL), its effect is temporary and results are not satisfactory in advanced pattern loss. Surgical management remains the only permanent method of restoring hair in PHL. Techniques have evolved dramatically, with FUE (follicular unit extraction) as the most recent advancement in minimally invasive surgical hair restoration.
