When should an autologous hair transplantation be considered at the earliest?
Quite often I receive inquiries from people at a young age who are already interested in a hair transplantation. Based on many years of experience, I can say that in these cases a particularly intensive explanation of the treatment is necessary, since especially young people often have unrealistic ideas about the procedure and its possibilities. Accordingly, sensitivity and empathy are also required here – especially when I have to turn down young patients, even though they wish to have their own hair transplanted. In my new article, I would therefore like to sensitize young people to the fact that an autologous hair transplant is an intervention in the body, which can never be too late, but in some cases too early.
Hair follicles from the 3D printer – what can you expect?
3-D printers play an important role in scientific research when it comes to the question how organs can be artificially produced. Research is also being conducted into 3D printing of hair follicles. In my new article I summarized the current state of research for you.
Platelet-rich plasma as a treatment for hair loss
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has become of great therapeutic importance for many medical procedures and applications. This is a specific part of the blood serum in which the platelets were enriched by centrifugation. PRP is also being promoted by some providers with the promise that it is a reliable treatment for hair loss. So in my new article, I would like to introduce you to what PRP is, what it does and what its therapeutic value may be in different forms of hair loss.
Body Hair Transplantation – a Revolution in Hair Transplantation?
The idea of transplanting hair from all regions of the body (body hair) to the scalp, if the donor area is insufficient in the case of a planned hair transplant, was first published in 1939. At least since the turn of the millennium, such interventions are possible. But do they actually constitute a meaningful medical intervention? Why I am skeptical about body hair transplantation and would not recommend it, I described to you in my new article about body hair transplantation.
Bio-Engineering as Potential Source of Hair Transplants
In the past years so-called bio-engineering or tissue engineering – the artificial production of organs and tissues – has made spectacular progress. There are always reports that in the near future even entire organs could be produced in the laboratory since implants are urgently needed – with maximum immunocompatibility and tailored specifically to each recipient. Comparable efforts are made to create recipient-specific hair transplants. For this reason I would like to inform you in my new article about the current state of research investigating hair transplants from the cell culture laboratory.
African Hair Type as a Challenge for Modern Techniques of Hair Transplantation
Dear readers,
the origin of a human has always had an influence on the styling of the human hair in the cultural dimension. For example, in the case of the African Himba, the hairstyle shows the social status of a member of the community. But the ethnicity of a person also has important implications, for example, when it comes to the planning and procedure of a hair transplantation. Thus human hair is differentiated into three different types, according to the ethnic origin of a person. Hence, Asian, Caucasian and African hair types can be distinguished.

Risks and Dangers of Artificial Fiber Implantation
Again and again, there are suppliers who make people suffering from hair problems believe that an artificial hair implant could alleviate their suffering. However, it is concealed that this is a risky procedure in general, which can lead to a permanent tissue damage and to the further loss of still existing hair. With my new article about artificial hair implantation, I would like to sensitize you to the potential risks of this procedure and to emphasize the importance of an honest informational practice for the patient’s well-being.
