“…22 Histologically at 12-18 months showed fiber surrounded by fibrosis and collagen. 23 No pigment was seen although the modifications vary depending on the anatomical structures in the path of the fiber, the inflammatory phenomena were extremely limited and did not produce clinically evident signs of inflammation. 17 Respect of correct patient selection, correct implant procedure, and proper after care is fundamental to avoid prospective problems.…”

BackgroundThe implantation of artificial hair is a successful standardized procedure to restore bald areas or scarred alopecic surfaces of the scalp in both sexes.Materials and MethodsSebometric measurements were taken, pre, 1, 3, and 6 months postimplant in two symmetric frontotemporal areas of the scalp of seven volunteers to be implanted with 50 units of artificial hair. The artificial hair used in this study are Biofibre 4.0 produced by Medicap srl, Italy.ResultsThe dermaroller assisted procedure was performed only on one side, and the plain random implant contralaterally for comparison. A marked downregulation of the sebum concentration was observed in the dermaroller treated area 1, 3, and 6 months later in respect to the control side.ConclusionThe dermaroller assisted procedure is safe and effective in reducing the foreign body reaction by the sebaceous glands and the vascular axis injured by the implanting needle; a longer standing success of the implanted hair can thus be achieved reducing the burden of inflammatory reaction.

The skin is constantly subjected to both internal and external mechanical forces, so that for experimental purposes it may be impossible to determine what constitutes the normal resting state. These forces are likely to be as important in the maintenance of the structural integrity of the connective tissues of the skin [1,2] as they are with bone, which becomes demineralized during the protracted absence of normal gravitational force during space travel [3]. In contrast to events in the whole organism, isolated human dermal fibroblasts in culture make more collagen when subjected to reduced gravity [4]. Many normal biochemical functions of the skin are dependent on appropri-ate mechanical forces, and when these become excessive, as in lymphoedema, protease inhibitors are released with many deleterious consequences [5].Healthy skin is well adapted to resist the adverse effects of a wide range of mechanical injuries [6]. These include friction, pressure, contusion, laceration, suction and vibration. The clinical consequence of injury will depend on characteristics of the noxious stimulus, such as its intensity and duration. Factors related to the skin also influence the response; thus, the same degree of friction may produce a blister in one person but no visible change in another. Time is required for adaptive responses, such as callus formation and lichenification, to occur.
