Our Contributions to the Advance in Hair Restoration

Last Updated: 18 Nov 2025

Our clinic’s philosophy is rooted in a commitment to evidence-based scientific research. This dedication has led to several pioneering contributions that have shaped modern practice. For instance, our invention of the hand-held laser for hairline design provided unprecedented precision and has since become a globally adopted tool.

While regenerative therapies are a recent trend, our work is foundational. We were among the first to clinically investigate adipose-derived stem cells for hair loss as early as 2008. Furthermore, we are one of the few centers in the world actively utilizing stem cells derived from hair follicles to successfully treat vitiligo, demonstrating our continued leadership at the forefront of medical dermatology.

1. Donor Site Hair Loss After Hair Transplant, 2008

Publication : 2009 | Hair Transplant Forum International Vol 19:2, Mar/Apr

Presentation : 2008 | ISHRS Annual Scientific Meeting Montreal Canada

Hair loss may occur in the donor areas after hair transplant surgery. While most hair transplant surgeons labeled this as telogen effluvium, Marzola and Vogel described the effluvium as anagen. Our study presented at the ISHRS Annual Meeting supported this alternative view through clinical documentation and histological analysis.

2. Hand-held Laser Hairline Placement, 2008

Hairline design requires precise symmetry for optimal facial framing. We developed a hand-held laser device to facilitate accurate hairline placement in 2008. The device entered commercial production in 2009 and has been adopted by hair transplant centers internationally, providing a solution for consistent and symmetrical hairline design.

This investigation explored the potential of adipose-derived stem cells for hair regeneration. While abdominal wall fat aspirate provided a convenient source of regenerative cells with autologous advantages, the study identified limitations in differentiation protocols. The activation component of available systems failed to reliably trigger stromal vascular fraction differentiation into hair follicle tissue.

4. Vitiligo Re-pigmentation By FUT, 2010

Publication :
2010 | Hair Transplant Forum International Vol 20:2, Mar/Apr

This case study demonstrated the application of single hair grafting from Follicular Unit Transplantation for vitiligo repigmentation. The research suggested differential immunological responses among melanocyte populations within hair follicles. Optimal grafting technique focused on the middle one-third of the follicle, which contains the highest concentration of outer root sheath melanocytes.

5. Prevent Facial Swelling After Hair Transplant, 2009

Publication :
2009 | Hair Transplant Forum International Vol 19:3, May/Jun

We developed a specialized protocol to address postoperative facial swelling resulting from tumescent fluid migration. While tumescent anesthesia protects deep structures during graft implantation, fluid drainage to facial areas can cause significant swelling and bruising. Our protocol significantly reduced these complications while maintaining surgical safety.

6. New Landmarks in Hairline Design, 2010

Presentation :
2023 | WFI Annual Meeting, Bangkok Thailand

While Western aesthetic principles follow Da Vinci’s Golden Rule of Thirds for facial proportions, our analysis of multiple ethnic groups revealed variations in ideal hairline positioning. Based on extensive photographic analysis of diverse facial types, we developed modified landmarks for hairline design applicable across different ethnic backgrounds.

7. The Best Way in Graft Storage, 2010

Presentation :
2010 | ISHRS Annual Scientific Meeting Boston USA

Our investigation compared graft storage methods to optimize viability during hair transplantation procedures. The study demonstrated that saline storage over ice coolant effectively reduced oxygen consumption for up to 6 hours. While refrigerator storage provided an alternative, we identified risks of temperature fluctuation below 0°C that could compromise graft integrity.
