Background: Low follicular donor reserves present a major challenge to successful hair transplantation and patient satisfaction.
Objective: To develop an updated method of harvesting hair follicles in patients with limited donor reserves and to compare the updated methodology with current standards of practice.
Materials and methods: A two part prospective, randomized case control study was conducted to compare the donor site scars of group A (compact tandem line extraction; new method) and group B (scattered extraction; traditional method).
