Objective Hairline vitiligo is a special area. Hairy areas within the hairline often require repigmentation and regrowing hair shafts. The face and forehead outside the hairline do not require regrowing hair shafts, only repigmentation. To tackle this issue, we modified the conventional mini-punch grafting with a combined application of mini-punch grafting and follicular hair transplant. Methods Five patients with localized hairline stable vitiligo aged 26–32 years old had a history of nonsurgical treatments for at least 3 months and without progress. The grafts were transversely sectioned. The intact half follicles were preserved below the cross-section. Sectioned grafts were placed into the chambers for transplanting with forceps. Results The treatment using transversely sectioned mini-punch grafting with the patient was performed for all five patients, and the results were satisfactory. In the area of the forehead outside the hairline with the sectioned mini-punch grafting above the cross-section, hair loss and repigmentation were observed. In the area of the hairy areas within the hairline, growing hair shafts and repigmentation were observed, without hair loss. Conclusion Our report can help to manage hairline vitiligo or hairy areas vitiligo. This method can be considered a potential method for the treatment of hairline vitiligo, thus providing a simple solution to complex problems.

“…15,16 The follicular unit extraction (FUE) method is an ideal and widely accepted technique because it is less invasive than the standard FUT method. 17,18 Using FUE, individual follicular units are removed directly from the donor region through small (<1.0 mm) punch excisions. This results in only a small wound at the donor site, and the patient feels less pain and discomfort after the surgery.…”

Scalp surgical procedures, burns, and trauma can cause scarring alopecia, which places a significant burden on the lives of adolescents and leads to diminished quality of life (QOL). 1,2 In addition, adolescents with scarring alopecia may have lower levels of pride, selfworth, and body satisfaction, as well as higher levels of depressive symptoms, mental health problems, and suicidal ideation. 3,4 Management of pediatric scarring alopecia is often challenging, and several treatments approved for use in adults are off label in children and adolescents, with unknown safety and efficacy. 5 Hair grafting has become a popular treatment since it is minimally traumatic. This technique has been adapted for the reconstruction of sideburn alopecia. However, the use of hair transplantation in young patients has rarely been reported. Follicular unit hair transplantation may be an effective, safe, and well-tolerated treatment for scarring alopecia in children. 6,7 | ME THODSThis prospective observational study investigated patients aged ≤18 years who presented to the Beijing Children Hospital between

Background: Transplantation plays a pivotal role in vitiligo surgery and has advanced at a galloping pace.Objectives: To enlist the latest developments in vitiligo transplantation surgery.Findings: Advancements in clinico-epidemiological and molecular profiling (CD8, CD45RO, CXCL-9) have enabled us to predict response to treatment better than ever before. The pace of transplantation has been augmented and the hassle of properly orienting the graft has been bypassed. The pallet has been expanded with a better donor to recipient ratio and ease of technique with regard to hair follicle transplants and suspensions. Suspending media have had a makeover, becoming less runner with a greater rate of pigmentation. Science has made the procedure more pocket and equipment friendly, be it in the realm of incubation or inhibition of trypsin. Electrofulguration, cryogens, salicylic and lactic acid, dental burrs, and lasers have made recipient site preparation easier. Adversity has been metamorphosed into an advantage by harvesting and transplanting the cobblestone that appears post-mini-punch grafting. Surgical techniques have been crafted to conform to special sites like the fingers, palmoplantar sites, ears, genitals, and nipple-areola. Conclusion:There have been many significant advancements in the field of vitiligo transplantation surgery in recent years especially in terms of ease of technique, minimal invasiveness, the pain associated with the procedure, and success rates.
