    TLDR The new hair transplant technique is fast, effective, and satisfying for patients with different hair types.
    The study "No-Shave Long Hair Follicular Unit Excision Using an All-Purpose Skin-Responsive Device" evaluated a new hair transplantation technique using a device called UGraft Zeus. The study involved 152 patients from five different countries. The results showed a graft transection rate (GTR) of 2.2% to 4.3%, a shaft breakage rate (SBR) of 12%, and a graft excision rate (GER) of 440 grafts per hour. The technique was efficient and less time-consuming than traditional methods. Out of 152 patients, 129 were evaluated with 57.4% reporting being "Very happy" and 42.6% reporting "Satisfactory" results. The technique was successful across different skin and hair types, including African-descended Black patients with curly-coiled hair. The study concluded that the new technique resulted in low GTR and SBR, high procedure speed, patient satisfaction, and surgeon adoption rate.
