    3. Embryology and Anatomy of Hair

    4. Embryology of Hair Follicle Begin development between 9 and 12 weeks gestational age Hair production typically seen between 16 and 20 weeks gestational age

    5. Embryology of Hair Follicle Derived from ectoderm and mesoderm Ectoderm Hair matrix cells Melanocytes Mesoderm Erector pili Dermal papilla Follicular sheath Blood vessels

    6. Anatomy of Hair Shaft Surrounded by an outer and inner sheath Shaft composed of 3 layers Cuticle: outer layer Cortex: middle layer Medulla: inner layer

    7. Follicular Unit Terminal hairs: 1-4 Vellus hairs: 1-2 Sebaceous glands: 9 Erector pili muscle: 9 Perifollicular vascular plexus Neural net Connective tissue

    8. SCALP Layers Skin Connective tissue (subcutaneous tissue) Aponeurotica (galea aponeurotica) Loose connective tissue Pericranium

    9. Blood Supply and Innervation Frontal Supratrochlear Supraorbital Temporal Superficial temporal Zygomaticotemporal Parietal Retroauricular Auriculotemporal, Great auricular, Lesser occipital Occipital Occipital Greater occipital

    10. Alopecia

    11. Alopecia Definition: Origin: Gr. Alepekia = a disease in which the hair falls out Loss of hair, wool, or feathers Absence of hair from skin areas where it is normally present

    12. Types of Alopecia Alopecia adnata Alopecia areata Alopecia cicatrisata Alopecia conginitalis Alopecia disseminata Alopecia leprotica Alopecia marginalis Alopecia medicamentosa Alopecia mucinosa Alopecia pityrodes Alopecia presinilis Alopecia senilis Alopecia symptomatica Alopecia syphilitica Alopecia totalis Alopecia toxica Alopecia triangularis Alopecia triangularis congenitalis Alopecia universalis

    13. Androgenetic Alopecia Definition Hereditary thinning of the hair induced by androgens in genetically susceptible men and women Also known as Male-pattern hair loss or common baldness in men Female-pattern hair loss in women

    14. Androgenetic Alopecia Thinning of hair usually begins between 12 and 40 years old in males and females Approximately half the population expresses this trait to some degree before age 50 Inheritance is polygenic

    15. Hair Growth Cycle

    16. Hair Growth Cycle Stages Anagen = growth Catagen = involution Telogen = rest

    17. Hair Growth Cycle Normal scalp activity Anagen = 90-95% Catagen = <1% Telogen = 5-10% At the end of telogen, hair is released and the next cycle is initiated Up to 100 hairs in telogen are shed each day and about the same number of follicles enter anagen

    18. Hair Growth Cycle

    19. Pathophysiology of Hair Loss

    20. Pathophysiology of Hair Loss Dihydrotestosterone Formed by peripheral conversion of testosterone by 5-alpha reductase Binds to androgen receptor on susceptible hair follicles Hormone-receptor complex activates genes responsible for gradual transformation of large terminal follicles to miniaturized follicles

    21. Pathophysiology of Hair Loss: Miniaturization

    22. Pathophysiology of Hair Loss: Miniaturization Progressive diminution of hair shaft diameter and length in response to systemic androgens

    23. Patient Evaluation

    24. Patient Evaluation Androgenetic alopecia diagnosis Characteristic pattern of hair loss Miniaturization in thinning areas Family history is supportive but not necessary

    25. Patient Evaluation Evaluate for miniaturization using a densitometer to observe small area of clipped scalp

    26. Patient Evaluation Normal scalp Thick terminal hair Fine vellus hair Miniaturization Thick terminal hair Fine vellus hair Intermediate diameter hair

    27. Patient Evaluation Regions of the scalp

    28. Patient Evaluation Norwood Classification Most widely used classification of male-pattern hair loss 2 types Common type Type A variant

    29. Patient Evaluation

    30. Patient Evaluation

    31. Patient Evaluation

    32. Patient Evaluation

    33. Patient Evaluation Studies reveal negative psychosocial impact with hair loss Body image dissatisfaction Negative stereotype: Older Weaker Less attractive Counsel patients on expectations with treatment

    34. Medical Treatment

    35. Medical Treatment Goals Increase coverage of the scalp Retard further hair thinning Drugs Minoxidil: unknown mechanism for hair growth stimulation Finasteride: competitive inhibitor of type 2 5-alpha reductase Dutasteride: competitive inhibitor of type 1 and 2 5-alpha reductase

    36. Medical Treatment Effect of Minoxidil applied topically at 2% and 5% concentrations BID (NEJM 1999- VH Price)

    37. Medical Treatment Effect of Finasteride given at 1mg PO QD (NEJM 1999- VH Price)

    38. Medical Treatment Effect of Dutasteride given at 0.5mg PO QD in 1 patient (J Drugs Derm 2005- M Olszewska et al)

    39. Surgical Techniques Goal Achieve the greatest hair density while retaining complete undetectability and natural appearance

    40. Surgical Techniques Scalp Reduction Scalp Flaps Hair Transplantation

    41. Scalp Reduction Originally described in 1978 by Unger and Unger Excise non-hair-bearing scalp in excision pattern suitable for patient Saggital midline ellipse “Y” pattern Lateral patterns (“S”, “J”, and “C”) “U” pattern Miscellaneous patterns (“T”, “I”, transverse ellipse, crescent ellipse)

    42. Scalp Reduction Bald scalp excised to pericranium, but not through pericranium Wide undermining with primary closure

    43. Scalp Reduction

    44. Scalp Reduction

    45. Scalp Reduction Complications Excessive scalp excision Tension on wound closure Possible tissue necrosis Scar widening “Stretch-Back” Tendency of bald scalp to expand after each reduction Between 10-50% of total reduction Majority occurs within 2 months of surgery

    46. Scalp Reduction Techniques Opposing “Stretch-Back” Scalp Extenders Silastic with hooks attached to deep galeal surface with hooks parallel to incision Anchoring Galeal Flaps Rectangular galea strips on one side of incision sutured to undersurface of opposing flap Nordstrom Suture Elastic silicone polymer suture attached to galea

    47. Scalp Flaps Advancement or rotation of hair-bearing scalp Provides immediate coverage of alopecic areas Types Lateral Scalp Flap Temporoparietooccipital Flap (Juri Flap or Fleming-Mayer Flap) Preauricular Flap Free Scalp Flaps

    48. Scalp Flaps Complications Elevation of hairline associated with donor region Possibility of flap necrosis and donor area necrosis Unnatural appearance of hair growth direction

    49. Tissue Expanders Increases surface area of hair-bearing scalp Placed between galea and pericranium Used in conjunction with Scalp Reduction and Scalp Flaps

    50. Tissue Expanders

    51. Follicular Unit Transplantation Patient Preparation Anesthesia Graft Harvesting Graft Dissection Recipient Sites Post-op Care

    52. Follicular Unit Transplantation Technique pioneered by Dr. Bobby Limmer Graft Dissection Technique Separate follicular units from surrounding tissue Want small grafts with minimal epithelium to allow for Smallest recipient site necessary Limits skin trauma and preserves blood supply Avoid disrupting unit structures

    53. Follicular Unit Transplantation Follicular graft units have between 1 and 4 hair follicles

    54. Follicular Unit Transplantation Patient preparation Upright position Trim donor area to 1-2mm with electric clippers From occipital protuberance medially to over ears laterally

    55. Follicular Unit Transplantation Oral sedation may be used Local anesthesia Mixture of 60% lidocaine 0.5% and 40% bupivacaine 0.025% with 1:200,000 epinephrine and sodium bicarbonate 8.4%, 1:20 Lidocaine for quick onset Bupivacaine for increased duration Epinephrine for hemostasis and increased duration Sodium bicarbonate to decrease stinging

    56. Follicular Unit Transplantation Donor area anesthesia Inject into deep subcutaneous fat layer Extend injection 1cm inferiorly and several cm lateral of graft margins Recipient area anesthesia Inject into superficial dermis and subcutaneous space

    57. Follicular Unit Transplantation After initial injections, tumescent anesthesia administered to midfat Lidocaine 0.17% and epinephrine 1:600,000 Purpose Increases follicular distance from nerves and blood vessels Increases ridgidity of donor area Decreases bleeding More uniform anesthesia Reduce total amount of anesthesia required

    58. Follicular Unit Transplantation Graft harvesting Follicular Unit Extraction Involves individual unit harvesting by making using a punch Good for minimal hair loss Does not leave linear scar if people wear hair short Only 2-3 people can work at once Donor Strip Harvest Currently used method

    59. Follicular Unit Transplantation Donor Strip Harvest 1cm wide graft is harvested from posterior middle scalp at the external occipital protuberance- “the permanent zone” Want to be above muscular insertion Do not want to harvest from a potential area of future hair loss

    60. Follicular Unit Transplantation Donor Strip Harvest Best performed with Rassman handle loaded with two 10 blades set 1.2cm apart Handle holds blades angled at 30 degrees to minimize follicular transection May be performed freehand with 10 blade Pro: allows blade angle to be adjusted Con: difficult to keep width uniform

    61. Follicular Unit Transplantation

    62. Follicular Unit Transplantation Donor strip elevated in subcutaneous plane

    63. Follicular Unit Transplantation Strip ends are tapered to 1.5 strip width for closure purposes Preferred closure method with 5-0 absorbable suture Running skin stitch 1.5mm from wound edge Advance approximately 5mm Minimizes entrapment and destruction of follicles

    64. Follicular Unit Transplantation

    65. Follicular Unit Transplantation Staples also can be used for closure Pro: No tissue reactivity Cons: Difficult wound apposition Uncomfortable for patient May result in stretched scar

    66. Follicular Unit Transplantation

    67. Follicular Unit Transplantation One square cm of donor tissue yields approximately 100 follicular units

    68. Follicular Unit Transplantation Graft Dissection Stereomicroscope Divide donor strip into thin sections- “slivering” Avoid follicle transection Avoid dividing follicular units

    69. Follicular Unit Transplantation

    70. Follicular Unit Transplantation

    71. Follicular Unit Transplantation Slivers are then dissected into individual follicular units

    72. Follicular Unit Transplantation

    73. Follicular Unit Transplantation Follicular units are sorted based on hair number into petri dishes of Ringer’s lactate or saline on ice

    74. Follicular Unit Transplantation Recipient Sites Do not use instrument that will remove tissue Keep recipient sites small, but large enough so that grafts do not need to be forced in place Visible scars are not produced by needles 18 gauge or less

    75. Follicular Unit Transplantation Recipient Sites Instrument size guide equivalents 20 gauge = 1-hair unit 19 gauge = 2-hair and thin 3-hair units 18 gauge = 3-hair and 4-hair units

    76. Follicular Unit Transplantation Recipient Sites Techniques Stick and Plant Grafts are placed immediately after creation of recipient site “Premaking” recipient sites All recipient sites created prior to grafting

    77. Follicular Unit Transplantation Stick and Plant Technique Pros Needle can be used to facilitate graft placement Sites do not go unfilled Avoids placing 2 grafts in one site Cons Increased risk of dislodging (“popping”) adjacent graft when creating site Must focus on design elements (angling and distribution) while performing technical aspect

    78. Follicular Unit Transplantation “Premaking” Recipient Sites Pros Physician concentrates on design without distraction of graft handling or risk of popping Allows time for coagulation improving visibility and placement Cons Must estimate graft number Unfilled recipient sites 2 grafts in one site (“piggybacking”)

    79. Follicular Unit Transplantation Hair direction Grafts placed at original growing angle, not direction of hair grooming Hair anterior to vertex transition point should point forward Angle becomes more acute as it reaches the anterior hairline

    80. Follicular Unit Transplantation

    81. Follicular Unit Transplantation Recipient Site Density Average non-balding scalp has 100 follicular units per square cm 50% of hair may be lost before noticeable thinning Wasteful for more than 50% to be replaced Up to 25 follicular units per square cm into frontal area of balding scalp is recommended

    82. Follicular Unit Transplantation Recipient Site Distribution Creating greatest density in front part of scalp produces best cosmetic result (“Forward Weighting”) Recipient sites placed closer together Larger follicular units placed (3-4 hairs) Recipient site density should be gradually tapered toward the crown

    83. Follicular Unit Transplantation “Forward Weighting”

    84. Follicular Unit Transplantation

    85. Follicular Unit Transplantation

    86. Follicular Unit Transplantation

    87. Follicular Unit Transplantation

    88. Follicular Unit Transplantation

    89. Follicular Unit Transplantation Operative time typically 3 to 6 hours

    90. Follicular Unit Transplantation Postoperative Care Wash scalp with sterile water Avoid using peroxide Apply antibiotic ointment and pressure headband dressing to donor site Cover transplanted area with surgeon’s cap

    91. Follicular Unit Transplantation Postoperative Care Patient to have hair washed on post-op day 1 to remove crusts Some surgeon’s have patient return to clinic for this, some permit patient to wash hair Return to clinic in 1 week No strenuous activity for one week Pain medication Photoprotection for 3 months

    92. Follicular Unit Transplantation

    93. Follicular Unit Transplantation

    94. Follicular Unit Transplantation

    95. Follicular Unit Transplantation Problems and Complications Poor patient selection Operating on young patients is difficult Hairline creation looks unnatural long term Do not know donor site stability Poor aesthetic judgment Grafts in wrong direction Crown transplant in young patient who is just starting to lose hair Improper graft handling Wide donor scars

    96. Follicular Unit Transplantation More than one procedure is often necessary Wait at least 6 to 8 months between procedures

    97. Conclusions Evaluate and counsel patient Consider medical management Follicular Unit Transplantation is surgical technique of choice today

    98. Baldness Portrays Being Older and Wiser

    99. Bald Can Be Funny

    100. Bald is Beautiful
