A2 - Ratner, Désirée PY - 2015 T2 - Procedural Dermatology AB - Hair transplantation has been performed since the 1960s for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia. The technique of follicular unit transplantation (FUT) provides consistently natural appearing cosmetic outcomes for patients with this condition, and the majority of patients who seek consultation for hair restoration are seeking treatment for thinning hair as a result of female or male pattern hair loss.
