Objectives: To evaluate the role of hair transplantation in pediatric dermatology, including indications, surgical considerations, outcomes.
Introduction: Hair loss in children, whether due to congenital, traumatic, or acquired causes, can have profound psychological and social consequences. While medical therapies remain first-line treatment, hair transplantation is increasingly considered for select pediatric cases. However, its application in children presents unique challenges.
Materials / method: A review of available literature and clinical experience on pediatric hair transplantation was conducted, focusing on patient selection, surgical techniques, and long-term outcomes. Considerations such as scalp elasticity, donor site availability, and psychological readiness were analyzed.
Results: Hair transplantation is most commonly performed in pediatric patients with stable non-scarring alopecia, traumatic alopecia, or congenital hair disorders (e.g., aplasia cutis congenita). Successful outcomes depend on careful patient selection, meticulous technique, and postoperative adherence. Challenges include a higher risk of scarring, unpredictable growth patterns, and the need for long-term follow-up. Ethical considerations, including informed consent and the psychological impact of surgery, are critical in decision-making.
Conclusion: While hair transplantation can be a viable option for pediatric patients with permanent hair loss, it requires a multidisciplinary approach. Proper patient selection, counseling, and long-term monitoring are essential to ensure both medical and psychological benefits. Further studies are needed to establish standardized guidelines for pediatric hair restoration.
