Abstract

In the current setting, one of the most sought-after treatments for andro-genetic alopecia is hair transplantation. Instant Follicular Hair Unit Transplant (IFHUT), an innovative method that extracts hair follicles one by one from the safe donor area and immediately implants them, eliminates the possibility of graft damage in the conventional FUE method of hair transplantation.

Methods: The study included ten andro-genetic alopecia patients. One half of the donor area was used for IFHUT, and the other half was used for conventional FUE. At each follow-up, the implantation results were documented and compared pictorially and through trichoscopy. Results: Fundamentally, better development was seen by the unaided eyes, pictographic correlation and hair scope assessment in the IFHUT site in 9 patients.

Conclusion: The IFHUT method’s efficacy and superior results demonstrate its potential to reshape the hair transplant industry’s future, despite the steeper learning curve for surgeons and the need for clear protocols and proper execution.
