Abstract
AbstractBackgroundThe implantation of artificial hair is a successful standardized procedure to restore bald areas or scarred alopecic surfaces of the scalp in both sexes.Materials and MethodsSebometric measurements were taken, pre, 1, 3, and 6 months postimplant in two symmetric frontotemporal areas of the scalp of seven volunteers to be implanted with 50 units of artificial hair. The artificial hair used in this study are Biofibre 4.0 produced by Medicap srl, Italy.ResultsThe dermaroller assisted procedure was performed only on one side, and the plain random implant contralaterally for comparison. A marked downregulation of the sebum concentration was observed in the dermaroller treated area 1, 3, and 6 months later in respect to the control side.ConclusionThe dermaroller assisted procedure is safe and effective in reducing the foreign body reaction by the sebaceous glands and the vascular axis injured by the implanting needle; a longer standing success of the implanted hair can thus be achieved reducing the burden of inflammatory reaction.
