BACKGROUND: Noncoherent filtered flashlamp
pulsed light has not been used for correction of surgical
problems after hair transplantation. OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the clinical results of photoepilation in a patient
with improper hairline placement after hair
transplantation. METHODS: A noncoherent filtered flashlamp pulsed
light source was used to photoepilate the misplaced
frontal hairline in a 37-year-old Caucasian man, skin phototype IV (Fitzpatrick scale), who suffered
from common baldness grade IV (Ebling scale) and had undergone a hair transplant 6 years before. The
frontal hairline received three treatment sessions at 2-month
intervals with the following treatment parameters:
695 nm cutoff filter, fluence 38 J/cm2, 3.5-msec pulse duration,
triple-pulse mode, and 30-msec delay. The
gulfs received two treatment sessions with the same protocol.
RESULTS: Final clinical aspect was good and no
hair regrowth in the frontal hairline has been observed after
1.5 years of follow-up. CONCLUSION: Noncoherent
filtered flashlamp pulsed light is a novel therapeutic
choice that offers a nonsurgical solution to unnatural
hairline after hair transplantation.
